This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the principles underlying optimal
constrained control and estimation. The contents progress from optimisation theory, fixed …

Multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least
squares (PLS) have been widely applied to the statistical process monitoring (SPM) of …

Sheet and film processes include polymer film extrusion, coating processes of many types,
paper manufacturing, sheet metal rolling, and plate glass manufacture. Identification …

This paper illustrates the application of dynamic optimization in obtaining the optimal current
profile for charging a lithium-ion battery by restricting the intercalation-induced stresses to a …

This paper reports on the development and implementation of an algorithm for the design of
spatially distributed feedback controllers for the wide variety of physical processes that are …

Due to the strong coupling, model uncertainties, and external perturbations, the multimotor
web-winding system presents a great control challenge. In order to deal with these …

In web-transport systems, the main concern is to independently control speed and tension in
spite of perturbations such as radius variations and changes of set point. Nevertheless, in …

In this paper, a robust decentralized control scheme is proposed for web-winding systems.
The control input for each subsystem is divided into two parts, a reference control input and …

An approach is proposed for the robust identification and control of batch and semibatch
processes. The batch experiments used for model identification are designed by minimizing …

A sub‐optimal receding horizon control strategy for input constrained linear systems is
presented. The strategy is based on a singular value decomposition (SVD) of the Hessian of …
