This paper focuses primarily on the modelling and control of nonlinear systems that exhibit gain discontinuities in their frequency plots. Structures and learning algorithms for neural network based nonlinear modelling are introduced and applied to the modelling and k-step ahead prediction of an example system. A nonlinear Internal Model Controller (IMC) is developed, based on the ability of the feedforward neural network to form nonlinear forward and inverse models. The results of simulation studies are given in each case.

Run-to-run control of a plasma etch process for 8 inch diameter silicon wafers at Digital Semiconductor is determined by maintenance of targeted values of post-etch metrology variables. The post-etch quality variables are extremely sensitive to variation in the etch chamber conditions due to fluctua
Two important aspects of the control of the coal blending process in the iron and steel industry are computation of the target percentage of each type of coal to be blended and the blending of the different types in the target percentages. This paper proposes an expert control strategy to compute an
