1Ease of manufacture
If the same-factor structure is used in MIMO compact-form model-free control, then the implementation is concise and computational burden is low, but the control performance deteriorates in strongly nonlinear MIMO systems with different characteristics between control channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unified penalty factor λ and step-size factor ρ into channel-specific factors λi and ρi for each control input ui(k). This segmentation allows each control channel to have its own tuning parameters, enabling differentiated control strategies for different control channels while maintaining the overall model-free control framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different penalty factors and step-size factors for different control inputs based on their specific characteristics. Each control channel can have locally optimized parameters (λi, ρi) that match its individual dynamics, improving control accuracy for strongly nonlinear systems with heterogeneous channel characteristics.
2Manufacturing precision
If different penalty factors and step-size factors are used for different control inputs, then control accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automatic parameter tuning mechanisms where the system adjusts its own penalty factors λi and step-size factors ρi based on real-time system behavior and performance feedback. This self-adjustment capability eliminates the need for manual tuning of multiple parameters, reducing operational complexity despite the increased number of parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where control performance information is continuously monitored and used to adjust the penalty factors and step-size factors. This closed-loop parameter adaptation allows the system to automatically optimize its parameters based on actual performance, reducing the complexity of parameter management.

AI summary
The invention discloses a MIMO different-factor compact-form model-free control method with parameter self-tuning. In view of the limitations of the existing MIMO compact-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 factor, the invention proposes a MIMO compact-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.
