ABSTRACT:
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine uses a dynamic model which is set as an approximation to a controlled object. The controlled object covers an operation sequence from a fuel injection valve to an air-fuel ratio sensor which is provided downstream of a catalytic converter for detecting an actual air-fuel ratio based on the exhaust gas downstream of the catalytic converter. The system derives a fuel injection amount to be fed to the engine by performing a state-feedback control in such a manner as to control the actual air-fuel ratio to a target air-fuel ratio. The system performs the state-feedback control using, as state variables, current and past input and output data relative to the dynamic model. Accordingly, the actual air-fuel ratio monitored on the downstream-side of the catalytic converter is controlled to the target air-fuel ratio without delay by directly deriving the fuel injection amount using the state-feedback control.
