Solution of a Class of Multistage Dynamic Optimization Problems. 2. Problems with Path Constraints
TL;DR: In this paper, the treatment of general equality and inequality path constraints in the context of the control vector parametrization approach to the optimization of dynamic systems described by mixed sets of differential and algebraic equations (DAEs) of index not exceeding 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum design of chemical plants with uncertain parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear program is proposed for the optimum design of chemical plants whose uncertain parameters are expressed as bounded variables, such that the plant specifications will be met for any feasible values of the parameters while optimizing a weighted cost function which reflects the costs over the expected range of operation.

Optimum Design of Multipurpose Chemical Plants
Journal ArticleDOI
The optimal operation of mixed production facilities—a general formulation and some approaches for the solution
X. Zhang,R.W.H. Sargent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a unified mathematical formulation of the problem of determining the optimal operating conditions of a mixed production facility, comprising multipurpose plant for both batch and continuous operations, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and application of an extended horizon self‐tuning controller
TL;DR: In this paper, a robust version of the self-tuning regulator is developed, which requires relatively little knowledge of system characteristics (estimated order of transfer function polynomials and an upper bound for transportation delays).
