A new decomposition strategy approach applied for a multi-stage printing system control optimization

Large scale dynamic systems are one of the challenges facing control engineer today. The design of controllers is an intractable problem when applied to problems of high dimension with intricate structure. Many strategies have been recently developed to deal with decomposition of complex systems, these strategies are based on the idea of subdividing the whole system into smaller subsystems less difficult in study than the original one. The aim of our paper is to apply the approach of multi-overlapping control design to multistage printing systems controller. Our principle objective in this paper is to use the advantages of multi-overlapping decomposition technique and its application in order to have a more robust controller of multistage printing system. This approach leads to computationally efficient design strategies that are well suited for large scale applications. Multistage printing system model is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
