Product Description: This book is dedicated to modern approaches to mathematical modeling of reflexive processes in control. The authors consider reflexive games that describe the gametheoretical interaction of agents making decisions based on a hierarchy of beliefs regarding (1) essential parameters (informational reflexion), (2) decision principles used by opponents (strategic reflexion), (3) beliefs about beliefs, and so on...read more

Product Description: With resources at a premium, and ecological concerns paramount, the need for clean, efficient and low-cost processes is one of the most critical challenges facing chemical engineers. The ability to control these processes, optimizing one, two or several variables has the potential to make more substantial savings in time, money and resources than any other single factor...read more

Product Description: Focusing on the entire system, not just the individual fuel cell, this book helps students, engineers, and researchers to develop effective control structures for fuel cells in complex systems. Offers tools for accurate, practical and useful solutions.

The increasingly competitive environment within which modern industry has to work means that processes have to be operated over a wider range of conditions in order to meet constantly changing performance targets. Add to this the fact that many industrial operations are nonlinear, and the need for on-line control algorithms for nonlinear processes becomes clear. Major progress has been booked in constrained model-based control and important issues of nonlinear process control have been solved. The present book surveys the state of the art in nonlinear model-based control technology, by writers who have actually created the scientific profile. A broad range of issues are covered in depth, from traditional nonlinear approaches to nonlinear model predictive control, from nonlinear process identification and state estimation to control-integrated design. Recent advances in the control of inverse response and unstable processes are presented. Comparisons with linear control are given, and case studies are used for illustration.

Product Description: In recent years, Artificial Intelligence researchers have largely focused their efforts on solving specific problems, with less emphasis on 'the big picture' - automating large scale tasks which require human-level intelligence to undertake...read more

Product Description: This book is about the theory of system representations. The systems that are considered are linear, time-invariant, deterministic and finite­ dimensional. The observation that some representations are more suitable for handling a particular problem than others motivates the study of rep­ resentations...read more

Product Description: Advances in science and technology necessitate the use of increasingly-complicated dynamic control processes. Undoubtedly, sophisticated mathematical models are also concurrently elaborated for these processes. In particular, linear dynamic control systems iJ = Ay + Bu, y E M C ]Rn, U E ]RT, (1) where A and B are constants, are often abandoned in favor of nonlinear dynamic control systems (2) which, in addition, contain a large number of equations...read more

This book presents new approaches to constructing fuzzy models for model-based control. Simulated examples and real-world applications from chemical and process engineering illustrate the main methods and techniques. Supporting MATLAB and Simulink files create a computational platform for exploration of the concepts and algorithms.

Product Description: Sensitivity analysis and optimal shape design are key issues in engineering that have been affected by advances in numerical tools currently available. This book, and its supplementary online files, presents basic optimization techniques that can be used to compute the sensitivity of a given design to local change, or to improve its performance by local optimization of these data...read more
