Multivariable toolbox for use with MATLAB.

The authors describe a toolbox for the frequency-domain analysis and design of multivariable feedback systems, to be used with PC-Matlab, or Pro-Matlab. The principal model representations used by the toolbox are described. Its capabilities are illustrated by a worked design example, which shows the use of a Nyquist array method. Other design techniques supported by the toolbox are briefly reviewed.

Analysis of multivariable Smith predictors using MATLAB Containers

Containers are structured m-files which allow `data' and `methods' to be stored persistently. Containers have a user-defined class structure, so that one can have several Containers of the same class, all structurally similar, and there is a mechanism for interaction with Containers in the style of database transactions. The use of MATLAB Containers to analyze multivariable Smith predictors is discussed.
