Journal Article
Zayed, A. S., Hussain, A., & Smith, L. (2004). A new multivariable generalized minimum-variance controller with pole-zero placement. Control and Intelligent Systems, 32(1), 35-44. https://doi.org/10.2316/Journal.201.2004.1.201-1307

This article presents the derivation of a new robust multivariable adaptive controller, which minimizes a cost function, incorporating system input, system output, and set point. It provides an adaptive mechanism that ensures that both the closed-loo... Read More about A new multivariable generalized minimum-variance controller with pole-zero placement.
