    A new design approach is proposed for multivariable model reference adaptive systems, making use of linear feedback on the error signal, with augmentation of the linear compensator by nonlinear adaptation laws only if the linear compensation is inadequate for the task at hand. The determination of the required linear compensation is considered, and a multivariable frequency-domain performance criterion is developed. This performance criterion is then related to other scalar frequency-domain performance criteria. A new design method is outlined using the direct Nyquist array, and is then illustrated by application to a 2-input/2-output multivariable system with parameter uncertainty.

    A self-tuning ship-autopilot design is presented that reconciles the conflicting demands of course keeping and of manoeuvring by using two modes of operation. During the course-keeping mode the performance criterion is formulated to minimise heading error, propulsion losses and rudder activity, while in the manoeuvring phase the concern is simply to minimise heading error. The system parameters are identified using recursive least-squares estimation to confer on the autopilot a high degree of adaptability, as illustrated in the simulation studies of part 2 of the paper.

    The paper presents a parameter-embedding approach to the optimal control of linear time-delay systems, and develops a simple computational algorithm via Walsh functions. The algorithm employs the concept of Walsh operational matrices for delay and advance. These operational matrices provide us with a means of numerically integrating differential equations with delayed and advanced arguments; a major task in the process of computing optimal controls for time-delay systems. An attractive feature of the present method is its ultimate simplicity and the resulting piecewise constant controls are convenient in practical implementation.

    An air-to-water heat pump has been designed to operate with a variable-speed compressor, an electrically driven motorised expansion valve and variable-input air mass flow rate; all of these are supported by a microcomputer-based control and instrumentation system. The paper develops the control algorithms which provide for independent control of the valve, compressor speed and air mass flow rate so that the refrigerant pressure across the evaporator can be maintained to ensure maximum heat transfer occurs in the evaporator. Experimental results demonstrate that the efficiency of the heat pump can be improved by the on-line control system.

    The problem to be studied in the paper refers to a general class of the linear time-invariant multivariable three-dimensional (3-D) systems using state feedback. For these types of systems, in order to give a quantitative formulation of the problem, the mathematical model is either assumed or derived. In either case there is always a discrepancy between the actual system and its mathematical model, and sensitivity plays an important role in assessing the behaviour of the system or its components under varying conditions. It is shown that using matrix-minimisation techniques we can derive a set of nonlinear matrix equations which constitute the necessary conditions that must be satisfied for an optimal low-sensitivity solution for a general class of (3-D) multivariable systems. The initial conditions of the system are assumed to be random processes with known mean and covariance matrix.
