Functional controllability and tunability of coordinate-parametric control systems (Q1082303)

We consider the class of coordinate-parametric control systems (CPC systems) in which the specified control tasks are accomplished by goal- directed tuning of the component element operators. Algorithms are presented which endow the CPC system elements with automatically tunable properties ensuring boundedness of the coordinates of motion, reachability of prespecified regions, optimality, invariance under coordinate disturbances, and operational determinacy under parametric disturbances.
