Linear model predictive control (LMPC) is well established as the industry standard for
controlling constrained multivariable processes. A major limitation of LMPC is that plant behavior …

In the past decade, the control of nonlinear systems has received considerable attention in
both academia and industry. The recent interest in the design and analysis of nonlinear …

Sequential uptake of pentose and hexose sugars that compose lignocellulosic biomass limits
the ability of pure microbial cultures to efficiently produce value‐added bioproducts. In this …

An input-output linearization strategy for constrained nonlinear processes is proposed. The
system may have constraints on both the manipulated input and the controlled output. The …

Cadmium (Cd 2+ ) is a common environmental pollutant and a major constituent of tobacco
smoke. Exposure to this heavy metal, which has no known beneficial physiological role, has …

An adaptive nonlinear control strategy for a bench-scale pH neutralization system is
developed and experimentally evaluated. The pH process exhibits severe nonlinear and time-…

Leptin influences satiety, adiposity, and metabolism and is associated with mechanisms
regulating puberty onset, fertility, and pregnancy in various species. Maternal hyperleptinemia is …

Leptin is a polypeptide hormone that aids in the regulation of body weight and energy
homeostasis and is linked to a variety of reproductive processes in both animals and humans. …

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 …
