Constructal dendritic configuration for the radiation heating of a solid stream
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the configuration of a slender enclosure can be optimized such that the radiation heating of a stream of solid is performed with minimal fuel consumption at the global level.

Constructal architecture for heating a stream by convection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the fundamental problem of how to heat a stream to a specified exit temperature such that the overall fuel consumption is minimal, and they showed that minimal heat consumption is achieved when the heaters and the heat transfer contact area are distributed nonuniformly.

Wiener-Hammerstein modeling of nonlinear effects in bilinear systems
TL;DR: The modeling of nonlinear effects in bilinear systems using Wiener-Hammerstein models is considered, and the linear subsystems are estimated using the technique of linear interpolation in the frequency domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear approximation of bilinear Processes
TL;DR: The linear approximation for a first-order bilinear process perturbed using pseudorandom binary and ternary signals is studied, in terms of the related linear dynamics consisting of the underlying linear dynamics and bias caused by nonlinear distortions.

Generalized predictive control—Part I. The basic algorithm
TL;DR: A novel method—generalized predictive control or GPC—is developed which is shown by simulation studies to be superior to accepted techniques such as generalized minimum-variance and pole-placement and to be a contender for general self-tuning applications.

On self tuning regulators
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of controlling a system with constant but unknown parameters is considered and an algorithm obtained by combining a least squares estimator with a minimum variance regulator computed from the estimated model is analyzed.

Brief paper: Implementation of self-tuning regulators with variable forgetting factors
TL;DR: A modified version of the self-tuning regulator having limited adaptability has been successfully implemented on a large-scale chemical pilot plant and the use of a variable forgetting factor with correct choice of information bound can avoid one of the major difficulties associated with constant exponential weighting of past data.

Natural Bilinear Control Processes
TL;DR: It is shown that these so-called bilinear systems have a variable dynamical structure that makes them quite controllable and may utilize appropriately controlled unstable modes of response to enhance controllability.
