10B04 Nonlinear Process Control
OverviewContributions are sought in the general area of nonlinear process control theory and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to, Lyapunov-based control, differential geometric control, model predictive control, control of differential-algebraic systems, nonlinear stability analysis tools, and nonlinear model reduction techniques. Papers emphasizing both theoretical advances and novel applications of nonlinear control methods to chemical processes are encouraged.
