  2. William T. Powers - Wikipedia

    Living control systems differ from those specified by Engineering control theory (a thermostat is a simple example), for which the reference value (setpoint) for control is specified outside the system by what is called the controller, [6] whereas in living systems the reference variable for each feedback control loop in a control hierarchy [7 ...

  3. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    Feedback-loops are important models in the engineering of adaptive software, as they define the behaviour of the interactions among the control elements over the adaptation process, to guarantee system properties at run-time. Feedback loops and foundations of control theory have been successfully applied to computing systems. [54]

  4. Youla–Kucera parametrization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youla–Kucera_parametrization

    It is a fundamental result of control theory and launched an entirely new area of research and found application, among others, in optimal and robust control. [1] The engineering significance of the YK formula is that if one wants to find a stabilizing controller that meets some additional criterion, one can adjust the parameter Q such that the ...

  5. Full state feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_state_feedback

    Full state feedback (FSF), or pole placement, is a method employed in feedback control system theory to place the closed-loop poles of a plant in predetermined locations in the s-plane. [1] Placing poles is desirable because the location of the poles corresponds directly to the eigenvalues of the system, which control the characteristics of the ...

  6. Closed-loop transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_transfer_function

    In control theory, a closed-loop transfer function is a mathematical function describing the net result of the effects of a feedback control loop on the input signal to the plant under control. Overview

  7. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero."

  8. Classical control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_control_theory

    Classical control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how their behavior is modified by feedback, using the Laplace transform as a basic tool to model such systems.
