Optimizing model predictive control of an industrial distillation column
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
The main scope of this work is the implementation of an MPC that integrates the control and the economic optimization of the system. The two problems are solved simultaneously through the modification of the control cost ...
New optimality conditions for nonsmooth control problems
(2012-11-08)
This work considers nonsmooth optimal control problems and provides two new sufficient conditions of optimality. The first condition involves the Lagrange multipliers while the second does not. We show that under the first ...
A new sufficient condition for optimal impulsive control problems
(2012-12-01)
In this article we introduce the concept of MP-pseudoinvexity for general nonlinear impulsive optimal control problems whose dynamics are specified by measure driven control equations. This is a general paradigm in that, ...
KT-invexity in optimal control problems
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2009-11-15)
We extend the notion of KT-invexity from mathematical programming to the classical optimal control problem and show that this generalized invexity property is not only a sufficient condition of optimality for KT-processes ...
Optimal clone identifier based on dynamic rules and process algebra
(2009-12-01)
The rule creation to clone selection in different projects is a hard task to perform by using traditional implementations to control all the processes of the system. The use of an algebraic language is an alternative ...
A New Dual Modifier-Adaptation Approach for Iterative Process Optimization with Inaccurate Models
(Elsevier, 2013-12-05)
In order to deal with plant-model mismatch, iterative process optimization schemes use some adaptation strategy based on measurements. The modifier-adaptation approach consists in performing first-order corrections of the ...
A note on the sufficiency of the maximum principle for infinite horizon optimal control problems
(2018-07-01)
This work is devoted to introduce a new sufficient optimality condition for infinite horizon optimal control problems. It is shown that normal extremal processes are optimal under this new condition, termed as maximum-pr ...
