Control of an open-loop unstable homopolymerization continuous agitated tank reactor is
addressed. There are two stable critical points which must be avoided because they mean …

This experimental work concerns the multivariable nonlinear control of a continuous stirred‐
tank polymerization reactor. The globally linearizing control (GLC) method is implemented to …

We address the control problem of output tracking with disturbance rejection and preclusion
of internal dynamics for multi-input multi-output nonlinear plants subjected to known …

This paper focuses on nonlinear control of a solution polymerization reactor via a reference
controller. A stability and convergence analysis shows that global stabilization of the reactor …

For the control of polymerization processes, fundamental models play a very important role.
This is due to a number of reasons: the lack of available on-line sensors, the complexity of …

This work studies the experimental application of the globally linearizing control (GLC)
method to a batch polymerization reactor. The nonlinear controller is implemented on a …

This paper investigates how the selection of the optimal operating point for a continuous
industrial polymerization reactor affects its controllability and resiliency. In this case, it is …

A general method for the synthesis of continuous-and discrete-time feedback control
systems for single-input/single-output and multi-input/multi-output nonlinear processes was …

Presents an approach to the problem of nonlinear output feedback control. A nonlinear
output feedback control law is derived within the framework of input-output linearization. It …

A survey of the most recent papers regarding the advanced control of polymerization
reactors is carried out. Special attention is focused on optimal control theory, nonlinear …
