Consider a nonlinear system affine in two inputs, which are called “offender” and “defender.” Let the inputs have the opposing objectives in relation to an infinite-time cost which, in addition to penalizing the inputs of both agents, incorporates a safety index of the system (a barrier function), with the defender aiming to maximize the system safety and the offender aiming to minimize it. If there is a pair of (offender, defender) non-Nash feedback policies of the <span><math><mrow><msub><mrow><mi>L</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>g</mi></mrow></msub><mi>h</mi></mrow></math></span> form with a safe outcome, namely, where the defender maintains safety while the offender fails to violate safety, then there exists an inverse optimal pair of policies that attain a Nash equilibrium relative to the safety minimax objective. In the tutorial we study both deterministic and stochastic offenders. The deterministic offender applies its feedback through its deterministic input value, while the stochastic offender applies its feedback through its incremental covariance. In addition to Nash policies for a minimax offender–defender formulation, we provide feedback laws for the defender, in the scenario where the offender action is unrestricted by optimality, and where the defender ensures input-to-state safety in the deterministic and stochastic senses. This tutorial is derived from our recent article on inverse optimal safety filters, by setting the nominal control to zero and declaring the disturbance to be the offender agent.</p><p>Among several illustrative examples, one is particularly interesting and unconventional. We consider a safety game played on a unicycle vehicle between its two inputs: the angular velocity and the linear velocity, as the opposing players. We consider two scenarios. In the first, the angular velocity, acting as an offender, attempts to run the vehicle into an obstacle by steering, while the linear velocity, acting as a defender, drives the vehicle forward or in reverse to prevent the vehicle being run into the obstacle. In the second scenario, the linear velocity acts as an offender and angular velocity acts as a defender (in the deterministic case by varying the heading rate; in the stochastic case by varying the variance of a white noise driving the heading rate). A “wind” towards the obstacle advantages the offender in both scenarios. The input policies derived are optimal in the sense of their opposite objectives, under the best possible policy of the opponent, under meaningful costs on their actions. The linear velocity input prevails, whether acting in the role of a defender, in which case the collision with the obstacle is prevented, or in the role of an offender, in which case the collision with the obstacle is achieved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100939"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367578824000087/pdfft?md5=3d4c0e415f10642f5626c050ea707e6a&pid=1-s2.0-S1367578824000087-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140103573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Systems described by irrational transfer functions may be of infinite dimension, typically having an infinite number of poles and/or zeros, rendering their stability analysis more challenging as compared to their finite-dimensional counterparts. The analysis covers a wide class of distributed parameter systems, time delayed systems, or even fractional systems. First, it is proven that, under mild hypotheses, new poles may appear to the right of a vertical axis of abscissa <span><math><mi>γ</mi></math></span> (imaginary axis, when <span><math><mrow><mi>γ</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow></math></span>) through a continuous variation of parameters only if existing poles to the left of <span><math><mi>γ</mi></math></span> cross the vertical axis. Hence, by determining parametric values for which the crossing occurs, known as stability crossing sets (SCS), the entire parametric space is separated into regions within which the number of right-half poles (including multiplicities) is invariant. Based on the aforementioned result, a constraint satisfaction problem is formulated and a robust estimation algorithm, from interval arithmetics that uses contraction and bisection, is used to solve it. Applications are provided for determining the SCS of (i) a controlled parabolic 1D partial differential equation, namely the heat equation, in finite and semi-infinite media, (ii) time-delay rational systems with distributed and retarded type delays, (iii) fractional systems, providing stability results even for incommensurate differentiation orders.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100935"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136757882400004X/pdfft?md5=135d7d57e74e884ac887a47e405e5876&pid=1-s2.0-S136757882400004X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139653943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemical engineering processes are often characterized by non-linearity, strong variable coupling, dead times, multiple inputs and outputs, and operational constraints, making control strategies challenging. Model predictive control is widely used for its advantages in optimal control, flexibility, robustness, and ability to handle multi-objective tasks. However, precise tuning and optimization are essential for implementing this strategy in real-time applications. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms offer an alternative to traditional optimization methods, as they can quickly reach near-optimal solutions and avoid local minima, making them well-suited for use with model predictive control. This study aims to analyze the application of metaheuristic optimization algorithms in conjunction with model predictive control in chemical engineering processes through a systematic review. The review considers three eligibility criteria: applying model predictive control for process control, utilizing metaheuristic optimization algorithm, and chemical engineering-related processes. A total of 46 studies were analyzed, revealing three main application areas for metaheuristic optimization algorithms in model predictive control: improving dynamic models used in the receding horizon, tuning model predictive control parameters, and serving as optimizers in the model predictive control formulation. Over 20 different metaheuristic optimization algorithms and various process models were identified, with typical applications including continuous stirred tank reactors, tank-level control, and column distillation. Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization were the most frequently used algorithms. This review concludes that metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been successfully applied to enhance model predictive control in several processes. It also highlights the benefits, weaknesses, and limitations of metaheuristic optimization algorithms applications in chemical engineering processes and provides recommendations for future research. We hope this study will be valuable to professionals and researchers in chemical engineering and process control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 100973"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142551921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
