In Chapter 5 we discussed applications of the minimum norm formulation to the search for
the optimal control vector that minimizes a cost functional that penalizes the deviations from …

There is a large difference in time between neutron kinetics and reactor poisoning dynamics;
by assuming (validly) that neutron kinetics is an instantaneous process compared with the …

This thesis examines a class of systems whose models are described by linear partial
differential equations that depend on a small parameter (epsilon). First, the spectral …

In this paper, the approximation method is given for obtaining the sub-optimal open loop
control and the sub-optimal trajectories of a distributed nuclear reactor described by …

If the percentage of nuclear capacity in an electric power system exceeds a certain level, the
system must be able to follow a changing level of power load demand within the nuclear …
