Abstract :
Paper machines pose a challenging multivariable control problem. The processes are poorly conditioned and truly large scale, in that the number of inputs and outputs can range from 100-1000. Their large scale nature makes it important to account for inaccuracies in the process models. A control algorithm is developed that addresses model inaccuracies in a numerically efficient and effective manner
