Abstract
-
Optimizing control has as its principal objective the maintenance of the optimum performance of a multi-variable system subject to both disturbing and constraining influences. First, the system performance criteria must be defined. Then optimum performance can be achieved by either of two basically different methods: one, a direct approach in which the output performance is compared with the input manipulation to determine the system behavior and thus provide the direction for optimizing control of the system; this may be done with or without a perturbation or test signal. Two, a model method in which the model provides the basis for analytical definition of the optimizing control conditions for the system. The model is manipulated such that its behavior agrees with the observed behavior of the system.
