The weight-training algorithm is derived from a Lyapunov function. Based on this empirical model, a nonlinear H controller is synthesized. The effectiveness of the control strategy is demonstrated using simulation results. Keywords: Distillation Column, Dynamic Neural Network, Nonlinear H Control  1.
