Abstract
The minimum variance control law for a cascade control system is derived for two cases: the primary process has stable and unstable inverses. The expression for the primary output variable under the minimum variance cascade control is shown to be feedbackβinvariant. An estimate of the minimum achievable variance in a cascade control loop can be obtained via multivariate timeβseries modeling of the primary and secondary measurements collected under normal operation. The utility of the proposed performance assessment method is demonstrated using simulated and industrial data.

## Abstract A constrained minimum variance controller is derived based on a moving horizon approach that explicitly accounts for hard constraints on process variables. A procedure for the performance assessment of constrained model predictive control systems is then developed based on the constrain
