Abstract

A multivariable control technique is proposed for a type of nonlinear system with parameter intervals. The control incorporates the feedback linearization scheme called Generic Model Control, and alters the control calculation by utilizing parameter intervals, employing an adaptive step, averaging control predictions, and applying an interval problem solution. The proposed approach is applied in controlling a nonlinear arc welding system
