A new dynamic optimization strategy is substantiated for allocating demands, in a typical process plant, to a set of service equipment working in parallel. It is a stochastic process in nature, but its optimal control is ...

One of the purposes of this study is to give further constraints on the temperature range of the zircon partial annealing zone over a geological time scale using data from borehole zircon samples, which have experienced ...

Robust backstepping control of non-linear systems with derivation orders (commensurate or non-commensurate) lying at interval (0, 2) is proposed in this study. The stability and robustness properties are proved using a ...

This paper aims to contribute to the three-dimensional generalization of numerical prediction of crack propagation through the formulation of finite elements with embedded discontinuities. The analysis of crack propagation ...

In this paper a zone MPC controller is proposed to deal with the tracking problem of linear impulsive control systems. The control strategy is based on the analysis of some system equilibrium generalizations, which are ...
