Chemical distribution is an important factor in many biological systems, driving the phenomenon known as chemotaxis. In order to properly study the effects of various chemical inputs to an in vitro biological assay, it is necessary to have strict control over the spatial distribution of these chemicals. This distribution is typically governed by diffusion, which by nature is a distributed parameter system (DPS), dependent on both space and time. Much study and literature within the controls community has been devoted to DPS, whose dynamics are marked by partial differential equations or delays. They span an infinite-dimensional state-space, and the mathematical complexity associated with this leads to the development of controllers that are often highly abstract in nature. In this paper, we present a method of approximating these systems and expressing them in a manner that makes a DPS amenable to control using a very low order model. In particular, we express the PDE for one-dimensional chemical diffusion as a two-input, two-output state-space system and show that standard controllers can manipulate the outputs of interest, using pole placement and integral control via an augmented state model.

This paper presents the synthesis of an optimal robust controller with the use of pole placement technique. The presented method includes solving a polynomial equation on the basis of the chosen fixed characteristic polynomial and introduced parametric solutions with a known parametric structure of the controller. Robustness criteria in an unstructured uncertainty description with metrics of normℋ∞are for a more reliable and effective formulation of objective functions for optimization presented in the form of a spectral polynomial with positivity conditions. The method enables robust low-order controller design by using plant simplification with partial-fraction decomposition, where the simplification remainder is added to the performance weight. The controller structure is assembled of well-known parts such as disturbance rejection, and reference tracking. The approach also allows the possibility of multiobjective optimization of robust criteria, application of mixed sensitivity problem, and other closed-loop limitation criteria, where the common criteria function can be composed from different unrelated criteria. Optimization and controller design are performed with iterative evolution algorithm.

AbstractA robust auxiliary wide area damping controller is proposed for a unified power flow controller (UPFC). The mixedH2/H∞problem with regional pole placement, resolved by linear matrix inequality (LMI), is applied for controller design. Based on modal analysis, the optimal wide area input signals for the controller are selected. The time delay of input signals, due to electrical distance from the UPFC location is taken into account in the design procedure. The proposed controller is applied to a multi-machine interconnected power system from the IRAN power grid. It is shown that the both transient and dynamic stability are significantly improved despite different disturbances and loading conditions.

This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of eigenstructure assignment methods for vibration cancellation. Eigenstructure assignment techniques have been widely used during the past three decades for vibration suppression in structures, especially in large space structures. These methods work similar to mode localization in which global vibrations are managed such that they remain localized within the structure. Such localization would help reducing vibrations more effectively than other methods of vibration cancellation, by virtue of confining the vibrations close to the source of disturbance. The common objective of different methods of eigenstructure assignment is to provide controller design freedom beyond pole placement, and define appropriate shapes for the eigenvectors of the systems. These methods; however, offer a large and complex design space of options that can often overwhelm the control designer. Recent developments in orthogonal eigenstructure control offers a significant simplification of the design task while allowing some experience-based design freedom. The majority of the papers from the past three decades in structural vibration cancellation using eigenstructure assignment methods are reviewed, along with recent studies that introduce new developments in eigenstructure assignment techniques.
