Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the same-factor structure is used in MIMO full-form model-free control, then the implementation is concise and computational burden is low, but control accuracy and performance deteriorate in complex strongly nonlinear MIMO systems with different characteristics between control channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing each control input channel to have its own distinct penalty factor λi and step-size factors ρi,p, rather than using uniform factors across all channels. This enables each channel to be optimized according to its specific characteristics, improving control accuracy for strongly nonlinear MIMO systems while maintaining the model-free approach's simplicity.
2Manufacturing precision
If different penalty factors and step-size factors are used for each control input, then control accuracy and stability improve, but device complexity and computational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements parameter changes by introducing channel-specific penalty factors λi and step-size factors ρi,p that can be dynamically adjusted during control operations. This allows the control system to adapt to varying system characteristics and improve performance without requiring a complete redesign of the control architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the penalty factors and step-size factors time-varying and adaptive rather than fixed. The factors are updated based on real-time system state and error information, enabling the controller to dynamically respond to changing conditions in strongly nonlinear MIMO systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If parameter self-tuning is implemented using neural network, then adaptability and control performance improve, but computational burden and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by implementing automatic parameter self-tuning through neural network algorithms that adjust the penalty factors and step-size factors without requiring external intervention or manual tuning. The system autonomously adapts its parameters based on real-time performance feedback, improving versatility while reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the neural network continuously monitors control performance and uses error signals to adjust the penalty factors and step-size factors. This closed-loop approach enables automatic adaptation to system changes while maintaining computational efficiency through targeted parameter adjustments.

AI summary
The invention discloses a MIMO different-factor full-form model-free control method with parameter self-tuning. In view of the limitations of the existing MIMO full-form model-free control method with the same-factor structure, namely, at time k, different control inputs in the control input vector can only use the same values of penalty factor and step-size factors, the invention proposes a MIMO full-form model-free control method with the different-factor structure, namely, at time k, different control inputs in the control input vector can use different values of penalty factors and/or step-size factors, which can solve control problems of strongly nonlinear MIMO systems with different characteristics between control channels widely existing in complex plants. Meanwhile, parameter self-tuning is proposed to effectively address the problem of time-consuming and cost-consuming when tuning the penalty factors and/or step-size factors. Compared with the existing method, the inventive method has higher control accuracy, stronger stability and wider applicability.
