This is a tutorial on the mathematical theory and process control applications of linear matrix
inequalities (LMIs) and bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Many convex inequalities …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in deterministic global
optimization during the last decade (1998–2008). It covers the areas of twice continuously …

Modern chemical plants are large scale, highly complex, and operate with a large number of
variables under closed loop control. Early and accurate fault detection and diagnosis for …

A key bottleneck in the production of pharmaceuticals and many other products is the
formation of crystals from solution. The control of the crystal size distribution can be critically …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in global optimization during the
last 5 years (1998–2003), and a brief account of our recent research contributions. The …

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is expected to be a technology reshaping the landscape of
low-power applications such as the Internet of Things. Multi-antenna multi-sine waveforms …

Sheet and film processes include coating, papermaking, metal rolling, and polymer film
extrusion. Products produced by these processes include paper, bumper stickers, plastic …

This paper investigates relaying schemes in an amplify-and-forward multiple-input multiple-
output relay network, where an energy-constrained relay harvests wireless power from the …

We develop eight different mixed-integer convex programming reformulations of 0-1
hyperbolic programs. We obtain analytical results on the relative tightness of these …

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