Abstract
A finite difference technique has been developed which is suitable for the derivation of feedforward control algorithms for the control of distributed parameter processes. The method embodies both steady state and transient feedforward compensation.
An experimental study, involving closed loop, on line, analogue computer control of a simple distributed parameter process proves the feasibility of the finite difference technique. The process under study is a steam water heat exchanger subject to inlet temperature forcing and controlled by flow rate manipulation. The new technique yielded significantly improved results when compared with the performance of a conventional twoβmode feedback controller, or a linearized feedforward control algorithm.

The real time implementation of closed loop control laws obtained by the minimization of a quadratic criterion with finite time intervals is a difficult problem, if we consider computing time and the eventual determination of the state variables. It would seem useful therefore to define, for complex
The optimal control of a class of linear deterministic time-invariant multi-dimensional distributed systems is considered. The unconstrained optimal control problem is formulated as a quadratic minimisation in a real Hilbert space. A conjugate gradient minimisation technique is employed in its solut
The feedback stabilization problem for a class of inΓΏnite-dimensional linear systems with control constraints is investigated. The approach is developed using a state space system framework which is based on a semigroup formulation. In contrast to the previous works in this direction, it is not assu
