The formulation and final control law of two of the more popular MPC algorithms, dynamic
matrix control (DMC) and generalised predictive controller (GPC), are specially analysed in …

Systems with delays appear frequently in engineering; typical examples of time-delay
systems are communication networks, chemical processes and tele-operation systems. The …

In the note, a generalized disturbance observer capable of estimating higher order
disturbances in the time series expansion is newly proposed. Initiated from a constant …

Industrial processes are typically nonlinear, time-varying and uncertain, to which active
disturbance rejection control (ADRC) has been shown to be an effective solution. The …

This paper presents a review of the main dead-time compensators (DTC) described in
literature. The paper analyses the basic Smith predictor (SP) showing its advantages and …

This paper presents a unified approach for the design of dead-time compensators. The
approach is based on a modified structure of the Smith predictor that allows to decouple the …

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) has been shown to be an effective tool in
dealing with real world problems of dynamic uncertainties, disturbances, nonlinearities, etc …

To tackle systems with both uncertainties and time delays, several modified active
disturbance rejection control (ADRC) methods, including delayed designed ADRC (DD …

Industrial Process Identification and Control Design is devoted to advanced identification
and control methods for the operation of continuous-time processes both with and without …

The estimation of unknown inputs and/or disturbances has been a topic of constant interest
in control engineering for the past several decades; see [1] for a detailed survey on the …
