After motivating examples, this monograph gives substantial new results on the analysis and control of linear repetitive processes. These include further applications of the abstract model based stability theory which, in particular, shows the critical importance to the dynamics developed of the structure of the initial conditions at the start of each new pass, the development of stability tests and performance bounds in terms of so-called 1D and 2D Lyapunov equations. It presents the development of a major bank of results on the structure and design of control laws, including the case when there is uncertainty in the process model description, together with numerically reliable computational algorithms. Finally, the application of some of these results in the area of iterative learning control is treated --- including experimental results from a chain conveyor system and a gantry robot system.

Control Systems Theory and Applications for Linear Repetitive Processes

This survey covers the area of parallel processing, which is increasing in importance due to advances in the design and implementation of control/automation systems. A range of work is covered, and potential directions for future developments are examined.

Parallel Processing in a Control Systems Environment

Caleb Knight is an ordinary boy, but with one difference... he was born with the power of the Archangel, the most powerful angel in Heaven. This power lies dormant inside Caleb until his 12th birthday, when he accepts the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once the power is awakened, Satan sends his demons to kill Caleb. Caleb's father sacrifices himself to protect Caleb, who is rescued and trained by the Angel of the Lord. Eighteen years later, Jim Sinclaire loses his wife to a violent crime and also loses his faith in God. In his moment of weakness, Jim makes a deal with the devil, which could cost him and everyone on Earth their souls. Now a full-fledged Angel Knight, will Caleb have enough power to prevent what could possibly be Hell on Earth?
