Control systems design based on the principle of matching with the genetic algorithm incorporating Lamarkism

The principle of matching is a new framework for control systems design that requires the matching between the control system and the environment (the source of exogenous inputs). The principle is especially useful for the design of the critical control systems where the responses of the control systems should be kept below the prescribed values. The design problem is reduced to find controller satisfying inequality constraints. However, conventional optimization techniques do not possess structural model selection ability and designers are required to select appropriate controller model. We propose to use a genetic algorithm to find an appropriate controller satisfying the matching conditions. The proposed genetic algorithm ...
