... Cybernetics Systems theory Control theory In positive systems inputs, state variables and outputs take only non‐negative values. Examples of positive systems are industrial processes involving chemical reactors, heat exchangers and distillation columns, storage systems, compartmental systems, water...

... theory Control theory In recent years, much of the research in the area of the control systems theory focused on the discontinuous feedback design which switches the structure of the system according to the evolution of its state vector. This kind of control, usually called sliding mode control...

... and state space representation. Basic control theory is used for analysing the dynamic properties. Findings A set of expressions are derived for the smoothing techniques and dynamic properties are identified. Practical implications Dynamic properties are important in many applications. It is shown...

... Publishing Limited 2004 --> Fault diagnosis Control theory There are many processes where overall failure would be expensive or even catastrophic and there is reason to use one of the techniques described in this book. A distinction is made between reliability achieved, expensively...

...Hejin Xiong; Mian‐Yun Chen Classical control theory and modern control theory satisfy the Galilean principle of relativity. If the velocity v of controlled systems is high that is to say, v approaches the velocity of light in vacuo, then the existing control theories must be transformed...
