Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced control design used in many industries worldwide. An MPC selects control actions which are optimal with respect to a given performance metric as well as any physically-motivated constraints. MPC has therefore gained significant research attention over the past several decades. Advances in MPC continue to unlock its potential to solve a wide variety of practical issues. This book presents some of the state-of-the-art in MPC design from theoretical and applications perspectives. It covers a broad spectrum of MPC application areas, reviewing applications as diverse as air conditioning, pharmaceutical manufacturing, mineral column flotation, actuator faults, and hydraulic fracturing, while also highlighting recent theoretical advancements in control technology that integrate it with data-driven models, zone tracking, or process safety and cybersecurity. Both centralized and distributed MPC formulations are presented. The purpose of this book is to assemble a collection of current research in MPC that handles practically-motivated theoretical issues as well as recent MPC applications, with the aim of highlighting the significant potential benefits of new MPC theory and design.

Robust control has been a topic of active research in the last three decades culminating in H_2/H_infty and mu design methods followed by research on parametric robustness, initially motivated by Kharitonov's theorem, the extension to non-linear time delay systems, and other more recent methods. The two volumes of Recent Advances in Robust Control give a selective overview of recent theoretical developments and present selected application examples. The volumes comprise 39 contributions covering various theoretical aspects as well as different application areas. The first volume covers selected problems in the theory of robust control and its application to robotic and electromechanical systems. The second volume is dedicated to special topics in robust control and problem specific solutions. Recent Advances in Robust Control will be a valuable reference for those interested in the recent theoretical advances and for researchers working in the broad field of robotics and mechatronics.

The main objective of this monograph is to present a broad range of well worked out, recent theoretical and application studies in the field of robust control system analysis and design. The contributions presented here include but are not limited to robust PID, H-infinity, sliding mode, fault tolerant, fuzzy and QFT based control systems. They advance the current progress in the field, and motivate and encourage new ideas and solutions in the robust control area.

The need to be tolerant to changes in the control systems or in the operational environment of systems subject to unknown disturbances has generated new control methods that are able to deal with the non-parametrized disturbances of systems, without adapting itself to the system uncertainty but rather providing stability in the presence of errors bound in a model. With this approach in mind and with the intention to exemplify robust control applications, this book includes selected chapters that describe models of H-infinity loop, robust stability and uncertainty, among others. Each robust control method and model discussed in this book is illustrated by a relevant example that serves as an overview of the theoretical and practical method in robust control.

The report contains an analysis of the drug control situation worldwide so that Governments are kept aware of existing and potential situations that may endanger the objectives of the international drug control treaties. Divided into four parts, it covers the following topics: drugs and corruption, functioning of the international drug control system, analysis of the world situation and finally, a set of recommendations to Governments, the United Nations and other relevant international and regional organizations. A set of Annexes follows as well.

Im Zentrum des Buches steht die Untersuchung des abstrakten linearen Kontrollproblems x'(t) = Ax(t) + Bu(t), x(0) = x0, y(t) = Cx(t).in unendlichdimensionalen Banachräumen. Will man unstetige Beobachtungsoperatoren C bzw. Kontrolloperatoren B betrachten, so entsteht auf natürliche Art und Weise der Begriff der Zulässigkeit von Kontroll- und Beobachtungsoperatoren.Im vorliegenden Buch wird diskutiert, inwiefern der Zulässigkeitsbegriff für analytische Halbgruppen mit Hilfe der Laplacetransformierten zu charakterisieren ist. Unter der zusätzlichen Voraussetzung quadratischer Bochner-Abschätzungen ist eine solche Charaktersisierung zwar möglich, es zeigt sich jedoch, daß die quadratischen Bochner-Abschätzungen, die zur GLEICHZEITIGEN Beschreibung der Zulässigkeit von Kontroll- und Beobachtungsoperatoren benötigt werden, nur selten außerhalb des Hilbertraumkontextes gelten.Daher wird für Kontrolltheorie in Banachräumen ein neuer Weg vorgeschlagen: Auf Hilberträumen besteht ein enger Zusammenhang zwischen quadratischen Abschätzungen und der Eigenschaft von A, einen beschränkten H-unendlich-Kalkül zu besitzen. Dies legt Nahe, auch in Banachräumen einen geeigneten Begriff quadratischer Abschätzungen aus dem H-unendlich-Kalkül abzuleiten. Diese Herangehensweise erlaubt es dem Autor einen Zulässigkeitsbegriff in Banachräumen anzugeben, der zum einen mit dem klassischen Begriff in Hilberträumen übereinstimmt, andererseits eine Charakerisierung im Laplacebild erlaubt, deren Voraussetzungen auch außerhalb des Hilbertraumkontextes sinnvoll nachprüfbar sind.Die für diesen Zugang notwendigen umfangreichen mathematischen Vorarbeiten werden ausführlich dargestellt und weiterentwickelt. Schließlich wird die Betrachtung durch eine Anwendung auf ein nichtlineares Problem abgerundet.

The portfolio diversification strategy study is useful to help investors to plan for the best investment strategy in maximizing return with the given level of risk or minimizing risk. Further, a new set of generalized sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution and finite-time stability has been achieved by using Generalized Gronwall-Bellman inequality. Moreover, a novel development is proposed to solve classical control theory's difference diagrams and transfer functions. Advanced TCP strategies and free parametrization for continuous-time LTI systems and quality of operation of control systems are presented.

Psychology of Health - Biopsychosocial Approach is based on the bio-psychosocial model of health, which aims to examine how biological, psychological, and social factors influence people's behavior regarding their health status. This book reflects the application of the bio-psychosocial model of health in many disciplines such as public health, psychology, psychiatric, mental health, community health, and nursing education. All the authors of this book have demonstrated how the bio-psychosocial model played an important role in addressing mental disease, tuberculosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obesity. This is an important book for students, academics, policy-makers, and community health practitioners.
