Mathematical optimization is the selection of the best element in a set with respect to a given criterion. Optimization has become one of the most used tools in control theory to compute control laws, adjust parameters (tuning), estimate states, fit model parameters, find conditions in order to fulfill a given closed-loop property, among others. Optimization also plays an important role in the design of fault detection and isolation systems to prevent safety hazards and production losses that require the detection and identification of faults, as early as possible to minimize their impacts by implementing real-time fault detection and fault-tolerant systems. Recently, it has been proven that...
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Optimization in Control Applications" that was published in MCA
The book consists of recent works on several axes either with a more theoretical nature or with a focus on applications, which will span a variety of up-to-date topics in the field of systems and control. The main market area of the contributions include: Advanced fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, health monitoring techniques for industrial systems, data-driven diagnosis methods, process supervision, diagnosis and control of discrete-event systems, maintenance and repair strategies, statistical methods for fault diagnosis, reliability and safety of industrial systems artificial intelligence methods for control and diagnosis, health-aware control design strategies, advanced con...
The book presents a significant expansion in depth and breadth of the previous edition. It includes substantially more numerical illustrations and copious supporting MATLAB code that the reader can use to replicate illustrations or build his or her own. The code is deliberately written to be as simple as possible and easy to edit. The book is an excellent starting point for any researcher to gain a solid grounding in MPC concepts and algorithms before moving into application or more advanced research topics. Sample problems for readers are embedded throughout the chapters, and in-text questions are designed for readers to demonstrate an understanding of concepts through numerical simulation.
En este libro se exponen las bases conceptuales para el diseno de un controlador predictivo multivariable basado en modelo. El controlador es formulado en espacio de estados y se programa en Matlab para su evaluacion. Este controlador combina la simplicidad de los modelos lineales con las no-linealidades esenciales del proceso utilizando una tecnica conocida como "linealizacion en linea." El controlador se desarrolla para una planta piloto de destilacion binaria, presentando como principales ventajas la facilidad de sintonia y su adaptacion a los distintos puntos de operacion de la planta sin necesidad de reajustar los parametros de los controladores. Se presentan los resultados obtenidos en simulacion para diversos casos estudiados. Entre estos, se incluye la compensacion de perturbaciones medibles que permite eliminar los errores de estado estacionario. Como caso particular, se presenta la implementacion experimental de un controlador monovariable para regular el flujo de agua al condensador de la planta piloto de destilacion."

POLITICS OF DISINFORMATION Discover a comprehensive exploration of the underlying theories of disinformation, and their impact, from leading voices in the field Politics of Disinformation delivers a thorough discussion of the overwhelming problem of modern fake news in the political arena. The book reviews fundamental theoretical concepts of disinformation and analyzes the impact of new techniques of misinformation and the dissemination of false information in the public space. A group of distinguished authors provide case studies throughout the text to illustrate the effect of disinformation all around the world; including, but not limited to Europe, the Middle East, and South America. The ...
En este libro se ha tratado los aspectos más sobresalientes de la guerra: las fuentes para su estudio, los antecedentes, la dimensión internacional, el alzamiento, las cuestionees militares, la economía, la vida cotidiana, la educación y cultura, el patrimonio histórico, historias de violencia en la guerra y posguerra y los episodios finales del conflicto. Junto a los temas tradicionales aprecen nuevas temáticas que a buen seguro resultarán apasionantes para la comprensión de la guerra. y todo ello basado en la consulta de una abundante y completa bibliografía, de prensa de la época, de numerosas fuentes documentales depositadas en distintos archivos españoles y extranjeros, y de inéditas fuentes orales.
