“…Due to their fixed configuration, the performance of the passive systems is limited compared to the active systems. Over the years, a large number of control strategies such as, optimal control, [1,2] adaptive control, [3,4] model reference adaptive control, [5,6] H ∞ , [7] linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control, [8] fuzzy sliding mode control (SMC), [9] among others have been proposed in the literature for using the active device effectively.…”
