Control of single-input/single-output systems with time delays and infinite number of right-half plane zeros

Abstract An approach for the design of control systems for processes having time delays and an infinite number of right-half plane zeros is presented. The models of such systems take the form of exponential polynomials and arise from problems such as tubular processes, multicomponent mixing processes, and population balance equations. The model predictive control designs presented here handle constraints on the controller power and allow ISE, minimum settling time, or other optimal designs.
