Abstract    An efficient numerical method for the design and synthesis of compensator for a relay type control system is developed and discussed. Previous works based on the interactive graphic method are reviewed and it is shown that the combination of the trequency and time domain numerical techniques provide a powerful tool in design of a wide class of relay control systems. An example is presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the procedure.
