Abstract :
A method of controlling nonlinear nonautonomous multivariable systems is presented in which the control variables are subject to magnitude constraints. The system is designed to track a non-linear model within some region of the state space, the size of this region being a function of certain model parameters. To illustrate the method, the technique is applied to the control of an exothermic chemical process.
