Abstract⎯Input/output pairing is an important task in control of a MIMO process by some SISO controllers. Relative gain array (RGA) is the most important method to find the best pairing. But selection of pairs based on RGA is an offline algorithm which needs some human decision. In this article, Normalized RGA (NRGA) matrix is introduced through the combination of the RGA matrix and its selection rules. Using NRGA, pairing problem can be interpreted as an assignment problem. The well known Hungarian algorithm is applied to the above problem to obtain the optimal pairing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
