Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This paper presents the diagonal with Blaschke products factorization (DBFact) approach to factor out multivariable time delay and nonminimum phase zeros from multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) systems. Based on that, a new output‐order independent minimum variance (MV) control law for MIMO systems is proposed. The DBFact method is a two‐step factorization procedure, relying on the diagonal and Blaschke factorization methods. This method has the advantage of being a direct and non‐iterative procedure. This new factorization approach allows the calculation of an MV control law considering the multivariable time delay as a limiting‐performance factor and the nonminimum phase zeros and their corresponding directions. Based on the proposed MV control law, a performance benchmark is introduced, which can be calculated by the DBFact filters and routine operating data. The DBFact methodology was applied to two control structures of the linear plant model of Linde's heat integrated air separation, in which the MV control law output‐order dependency property and the suitability of the performance benchmark were evaluated. Some results were compared with those obtained by admitting the generalized interactor matrix instead of the DBFact filters. The results show the capability of the DBFact methodology to factor the nonminimum phase terms to provide a reliable MIMO controller performance benchmark and illustrate the importance of considering the nonminimum phase zeros and their actual directionality in the MV control law.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
