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. Beginning with an introduction to general issues on control and optimization of multiscale systems and a review of previous work in this area, the book discusses detailed modeling approaches for multiscale processes with emphasis on the theory and implementation of kinetic Monte Carlo simulation, methods for feedback control using kinetic Monte Carlo models, shastic model construction and parameter estimation, predictive and covariance control using shastic partial differential equation models, and both steady-state and dynamic optimization algorithms that efficiently address coupled macroscopic and microscopic objectives.
Key features of the work:
* Demonstrates the advantages of the methods presented for control and optimization through extensive simulations.
* Includes new techniques for feedback controller design and optimization of multiscale process systems that are not included in other books.
* Illustrates the application of controller design and optimization methods to complexmultiscale processes of industrial interest.
* Contains a rich collection of new research topics and references to significant recent work.
The book requires basic knowledge of differential equations, probability theory, and control theory, and is intended for researchers, graduate students, and process control engineers. Throughout the book, practical implementation issues are addressed to help researchers and engineers understand the development and application of the methods presented in greater depth.
