Control of discrete linear repetitive processes with application to a material rolling process

Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems of both systems theoretic and applications interest. They cannot be controlled by direct extension of existing techniques from either standard or 2D systems theory. Here we give new results on the design of physically based feedback control laws. These results relate to design for performance and are illustrated on data for a model which arises in the modelling of a physical process.
