Objectives, project description, background, proposed research

Project is based on already existing cooperation in automation and process control betwen the partners. We study applicability of recent polynomial techniques and LMI (linear matrix inequalities) developed at LAAS-CNRS to solve various problems of control proposed by project partners:

• robust control - CVUT (CZ)
• control of chaotic systems - UTIA (CZ)
• predictive control - STUBA (SK)
• nonlinear control - IMPE (RU)

On one side, this permits to enlarge the field of applications of proposed polynomial techniques. On the other side, the partners will benefit of last developments on theory and implementation of optimisation techniques.
