Game theoretic approach to multiobjective designs: Focus on inherent safety

“…In many cases, operation is more profitable at an unstable steady state, or at a stable steady state in the close proximity of an unstable steady state, often involving nonminimum‐phase behavior (inverse response to typical disturbances). For these types of processes, controller designs have been more challenging,17–19 with increasing attention devoted to the control of processes that exhibit nonminimum‐phase behavior. In a recent paper, the concept of switchability is introduced; that is, the ease of switching from one process at a nonminimum‐phase steady state to another, when high controllability is more difficult to achieve 20.…”
