Optimization And Control Of Multiscale Process Systems Using Model Reduction Application To Thin Film Growth

Optimization and Control of Multiscale Process Systems Using Model Reduction: Application to Thin-film Growth

Control and Optimization of Multiscale Process Systems

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.

Model Reduction and Coarse-Graining Approaches for Multiscale Phenomena

Model reduction and coarse-graining are important in many areas of science and engineering. How does a system with many degrees of freedom become one with fewer? How can a reversible micro-description be adapted to the dissipative macroscopic model? These crucial questions, as well as many other related problems, are discussed in this book. All contributions are by experts whose specialities span a wide range of fields within science and engineering.
