Abstract

A controller which is capable of improving the resolution and accuracy of control even when controlling a plant including a control region in which nonlinearities are temporarily very strongly exhibited and a control region in which the nonlinearities are hardly exhibited. A controller 1 which controls fuel pressure Pf of a fuel supply system 10 includes an ECU 2. The ECU 2 sets a target fuel pressure Pf_cmd, calculates a first control input Rsld for causing the fuel pressure Pf to converge to the target fuel pressure Pf_cmd, with equations (1) to (6), modulates the first control input Rsld with equations (11) to (31) to thereby calculate a second control input Udsm, and depending on whether or not during fuel-cut operation or pressure decreasing control, selects one of the first and second control inputs Rsld and Udsm as the control input Upf.
