Design of controllers for decoupled TITO systems using different decoupling techniques

This paper deals with the design of controllers for TITO decoupled systems. The main objective of these controllers is to ensure some time response specifications such as the settling time and the overshoot for each output independently. The controller parameters are obtained by solving a nonconvex optimization problem. In order to obtain the global solution and then an optimal control law a global optimization method was applied to resolve this problem. In order to decouple TITO processes, two different decoupling methods have been considered.
