Abstract:
This thesis develops efficient optimization methods for Model Predictive Control (MPC) to enable its application to constrained systems with fast and uncertain dynamics. The key contribution is an active set method which exploits the parametric nature of the sequential optimization problem and is obtained from a dynamic programming formulation of the MPC problem. This method is first applied to the nominal linear MPC problem and is successively extended to linear systems with additive uncertainty and input constraints or state/input constraints.

Abstract:
Platooning is an interesting area which involve the possibility of decreasing the fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles. By reducing the inter-vehicle spacing in the platoon we can reduce air drag, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Two fuel-efficient model predictive controllers for HDVs in a platoon has been formulated in this master thesis, both utilizing road grade preview information. The first controller is based on linear programming (LP) algorithms and the second on quadratic programming (QP). These two platooning controllers are compared with each other and with generic control

This thesis describes a novel technique for learning predictive models from nondeterministic spatio-temporal data. The prediction models are represented as a production system, which requires two parts: a set of production rules, and a conflict resolver. The production rules model different, typically independent, aspects of the spatio-temporal data. The conflict resolver is used to decide which sub-set of enabled production rules should be fired to produce a prediction. The conflict resolver in this thesis can probabilistically decide which set of production rules to fire, and allows the syst

Thesis (MScEng (Process Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A mineral concentrate drying process consisting of a hot gas generator, a flash dryer and a feeding section is found to be the bottleneck in the platinum concentrate smelting process. This operation is used as a case study for system identification and model-based control of dryers. Based on the availability of a month's worth of dryer data obtained from a historian, a third party modelling and control software vendor is interested in the use of this data for data driven model construction and options

Abstract:
O problema da predição da estrutura de proteínas (PPEP) é bastante conhecido na bioinformática. A identificação da conformação nativa de uma proteína permite predizer a sua função no organismo. Este conhecimento também é útil no desenvolvimento de novos fármacos ou na compreensão do mecanismo de várias doenças. Várias técnicas tem sido propostas para resolver este problema. Porém, o alto custo envolvido levou ao surgimento de vários modelos que simplificam, em parte, as estruturas protéicas. No entanto, mesmo com os modelos mais simplificados, a complexidade do problema traz inúmeros desafios

Abstract:
Nous observons ces dernières années un besoin grandissant dans l’industrie pour des robots capables d’interagir et de coopérer dans des environnements confinés. Cependant, aujourd’hui encore, la définition de trajectoires sûres pour les robots industriels doit être faite manuellement par l’utilisateur et le logiciel ne dispose que de peu d’autonomie pour réagir aux modifications de l’environnement. Cette thèse vise à produire une structure logicielle innovante pour gérer l’évitement d’obstacles en temps réel pour des robots manipulateurs évoluant dans des environnements dynamiques. Nous avons

Abstract:
Constraint handling is difficult in model predictive control (MPC) of linear differential inclusions (LDIs) and linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. The designer is faced with a choice of using conservative bounds that may give poor performance, or accurate ones that require heavy online computation. This thesis presents a framework to achieve a more flexible trade-off between these two extremes by using a state tube, a sequence of parametrised polyhedra that is guaranteed to contain the future state. To define controllers using a tube, one must ensure that the polyhedra are a sub-set of th

Abstract:
Numerical algorithms for efficiently solving optimal control problems are important for commonly used advanced control strategies, such as model predictive control (MPC), but can also be useful for advanced estimation techniques, such as moving horizon estimation (MHE). In MPC, the control input is computed by solving a constrained finite-time optimal control (CFTOC) problem on-line, and in MHE the estimated states are obtained by solving an optimization problem that often can be formulated as a CFTOC problem. Common types of optimization methods for solving CFTOC problems are interior-point (

Abstract:
Distributed parameter systems (DPS) comprise an important class of engineering systems ranging from "traditional" such as tubular reactors, to cutting edge processes such as nano-scale coatings. DPS have been studied extensively and significant advances have been noted, enabling their accurate simulation. To this end a variety of tools have been developed. However, extending these advances for systems design is not a trivial task . Rigorous design and operation policies entail systematic procedures for optimisation and control. These tasks are "upper-level" and utilize existing models and simu

Abstract:
Genetic programming is an Evolutionary Computing technique, inspired by biological evolution, capable of discovering complex non-linear patterns in large datasets. Genetic programming is a general methodology, the specific implementation of which requires development of several different specific elements such as problem representation, fitness, selection and genetic variation. Despite the potential advantages of genetic programming over standard statistical methods, its applications to survival analysis are at best rare, primarily because of the difficulty in handling censored data.

Abstract:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia de integração da otimização com o controle preditivo multivariável em uma camada. Os problemas de controle e otimização econômica são resolvidos simultaneamente em um mesmo algoritmo. A função objetivo econômica foi inserida no controlador na sua forma diferencial, ou seja, o gradiente da função objetivo econômica. O método foi testado por simulação para o caso do sistema reator regenerador da UFCC (Unit of Fluid Catalytic Cracker). Esta dissertação descreve a estratégia de otimização integrada ao controlador prediti
