“…To compensate effects of the dead time, various control methods have been reported. For instance, as frequency-domain approaches, internal model control (Morari and Zafiriou, 1989), partial model matching method (Kitamori, 1979;Kitamori, 2001), Smith predictor (Smith, 1959), etc., are widely known. Meanwhile, as time-domain approaches, state-prediction control (Manitius and Olbrot, 1979;Furutani and Araki, 1998), Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach (Fridman and Shaked, 2002), LyapunovRazumikhin approach (Jankovic, 2001), etc., were presented.…”
