A fractional representation approach to the robust regulation problem for MIMO systems
The aim of this paper is in developing unifying frequency domain theory for
robust regulation of MIMO systems. The main theoretical results achieved are a
new formulation of the internal model principle, solvability conditions for the
robust regulation problem, and a parametrization of all robustly regulating
controllers. The main results are formulated with minimal assumptions and
without using coprime factorizations thus guaranteeing applicability with a
very general class of systems. In addition to theoretical results, the design
of robust controllers is addressed. The results are illustrated by two examples
involving a delay and a heat equation.Comment: 23 pages, 3 figures, submitted to International Journal of Robust and

Inversion-based control of electromechanical systems using causal graphical descriptions
Causal Ordering Graph and Energetic Macroscopic Representation are graphical descriptions to model electromechanical systems using integral causality. Inversion rules have been defined in order to deduce control structure step-bystep from these graphical descriptions. These two modeling tools can be used together to develop a two-layer control of system with complex parts. A double-drive paper system is taken as an example. The deduced control yields good performances of tension regulation and velocity tracking
