A nonlinear internal model control (NIMC) strategy based on neural network models is
proposed for SISO processes. The neural network model is identified from input—output …

This monograph provides insight and fundamental understanding into the feedback control
of nonlinear and hybrid process systems. It presents state-of-the-art methods for the …

Nonlinear controllers based on exact linearization are designed and evaluated for
continuous fermenters. The dilution rate and feed substrate concentration are considered as …

An internal model control (IMC) strategy for nonlinear single‐input single‐output systems is
proposed. The controller is designed to provide nominal performance, and a nonlinear filter …

The control of continuous stirred tank reactors is often a challenging problem because of the
strong pronounced nonlinearity of the process dynamics. Exact feedback linearization and …

Abstract Model reduction methodologies for the partial differential equations modeling
distributed parameter systems constitute an important first step in controller design. A …

A new discretization method for the calculation of a sampled-data representation of a
nonlinear continuous-time system is proposed. It is based upon the well-known Taylor …
