dc.description.abstract	In this paper level control for a quadruple-tank process with variable nonlinear zero dynamics is considered. This provides a nice benchmark problem that illustrates some of the challenges posed by complex interconnected systems for linear design paradigms. A Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) methodology is used to provide robust control of the water level in the lower two tanks. The linear design is validated on the nonlinear system model.	en_US
