Abstract
For a control model which simulates a control object ranging from the fuel injection valve up to the air-fuel ratio sensor, coefficients of a characteristic polynomial of the control model are calculated based on the pole arrangement scheme, with roots equal in number to the dead time of the control model being made 0, control parameters are calculated from the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial and from model parameters, and the air-fuel ratio correction factor is calculated from the control parameters. The control model is expressed in terms of a dead time plus first-order lag system, with the total number of roots being set greater by two than the number n of roots which are derived from the time lag, and unknown roots other than those of the dead time are solved based on formulas which are expressed in terms of a second-order lag system.
