Presents an implementation of a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm using piecewise
linear models on an industrial case study: solution copolymerization of methylmethacrylate …

This experimental work concerns the multivariable nonlinear control of a pilotsize
continuous polymerization reactor with generically singular characteristic matrix. The control …

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 …

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 …
