Suboptimal control for bilinear systems is discussed by use of an extension of the linear-quadratic optimal control index. The design method of this bilinear suboptimal control system is presented. Its application to the moisture control of a paper-making process is given as an example. The simulation results show that this suboptimal control system functions very well.
