In this paper an efficient algorithm for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control is presented.  The nonlinear problem is written as a simple Quadratic Programming problem with constaints by using a Canonical Piecewise Linear ...

The operating point of a process is usually computed by optimizing an objective function, e.g. the profit, subject to some plant characteristics. Typically, the resulting point lies on the boundary of the operating region. ...

In this paper a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control based on a Wiener Model with a Piecewise Linear gain is presented. The major advantages of this algorithm is that it retains all the interesting properties of the classical ...

This paper presents the state regulation problem for nonlinear plants with initial conditions in a given bounded region, proposed originally by Kreisselmeier and Birkholzer (1994). An efficient computer implementable ...

A general method of solution for the runup evolution and some analytical results concerning a more general bathymetry than a canonical sloping beach model are presented. We studied theoretically the water wave elevation ...

The operating point of a chemical process is usually computed by optimizing an steady-state objective function, e.g., the profit, subject to some characteristics of the plant.  Typically, the resulting point lies on the ...
