This book-the first of its kind-presents general methods for feedback controller synthesis and optimization of multiscale systems, illustrating their application to thin-film growth, sputtering processes, and catalytic systems of industrial interest. The authors demonstrate the advantages of the methods presented for control and optimization through extensive simulations. Included in the work are new techniques for feedback controller design and optimization of multiscale process systems that are not included in other books. The book also contains a rich collection of new research topics and references to significant recent work.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book is well prepared, and contains many interesting applications. People working in the area of process control, and/or in the area of stochastic PDEs, and/or in multiscale modeling, analysis and simulation may find it a good source of problems to work on." -Mathematical Reviews
"In several industrial processes multiscale modeling is necessary to describe the coupling of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. Here, methods for feedback control and optimization of processes of this type are considered.The book contains many illustrations and tables with data from concrete processes and a large list of references. A good knowledge in partial differential equations, probability theory and mathematical statistics, simulation methods, control and optimization is required for an efficient reading of this book." -Zentralblatt MATH
