and controlled variables unmeasured state variables unmeasured and frequent …

The problem of controller synthesis with the objective of stabilizing a continuous stirred tank
reactor (CSTR) with arbitrary switching between two modes, is considered. First, based on …

This is the first part of a review paper for geometric methods in nonlinear process control. We
review here themathematical and systems theory background, including linear results, tools …

The objective of this work is to make use of methodologies and tools from Lyapunov theory
in the design of bounded control laws for the temperature stabilisation of a class of …

A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a typical example of chemical industrial
equipment, whose dynamics represent an extensive class of second order nonlinear …

Research in nonlinear process control is rapidly expanding with an increasing number of
seemingly diverse control algorithms appearing. In this review an alternate method of …

In this chapter, the basic theory of feedback linearization is presented and issues of
particular relevance to process control applications are discussed. Two fundamental …

The dynamics of n-heptane/air mixtures in perfectly stirred reactors (PSR) is investigated
systematically using bifurcation and stability analysis and time integration. A skeletal …

Chemical reactors planned under efficiency and tight product quality considerations usually
lead to a process where sensitivity and nonlinearity are essentials. This poses a nonlinear …

In this paper, a program of analysis is carried out for control of a nonlinear stirred tank
reactor. By examining the uniqueness and stability properties of the reactor, the zero …
