This article presents parameter estimation of continuous-time polytopic models for a linear parameter varying (LPV) system. The prediction error method of linear time invariant (LTI) models is modi ed for polytopic models. The modi ed prediction error method is applied to an LPV aircraft system whose varying parameter is the ight velocity and model parameters are the stability and control deriv...

In dealing with model predictive controllers (MPC), controller tuning is a key design step. Various tuning methods are proposed in the literature which can be categorized as heuristic, numerical and analytical methods. Among the available tuning methods, analytical approaches are more interesting and useful. This paper is based on a proposed analytical MPC tuning approach for plants can be appr...

In this paper, we analyze the effects of oil revenue shocks on different sectors of the Iranian economy. We use quarterly data of the Iranian economy from 1988:2 to 2011:1 to analyze a time-varying parameter VAR model with the Bayesian method. The results show that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the positive effects of oil revenue were mostly emerged in the industrial and oil sectors, havin...
