Multi-Objective Control System Design

Control system design problems are generally multi-objective, in that they require several, generally con-icting, requirements to be simultaneously met. One design procedure for interactive multi-objective computer-aided control system design is the method of inequalities (MOI). The method is general-purpose, exible and robust, and as such is well-suited to MATLAB implementation. The MOI has been combined with-optimisation in a mixed-optimisation approach which designs for both robustness and explicit closed-loop performance. MODCONS is a collection of routines which create an interactive multi-objective CACSD environment for designing robust control systems using this mixed-optimisation approach as well as for multi-objective design of several other classes of control systems.
