Simultaneous approaches for dynamic optimization problems are surveyed and a number of
emerging topics are explored. Also known as direct transcription, this approach has a …

Simultaneous dynamic optimization strategies, also known as direct transcription methods,
have been applied in a wide number of domains. These include off-line applications like …

Chemical engineering applications have been a source of challenging optimization
problems for over 50 years. For many chemical process systems, detailed steady state and …

Optimizing process economics in model predictive control traditionally has been done using
a two-step approach in which the economic objectives are first converted to steady-state …

In this work, we propose a simultaneous scheduling and control formulation by explicitly
incorporating into the scheduling model process dynamics in the form of …

There is a large variety of methods in literature for process design and control, which can be
classified into two main categories. The methods in the first category have a sequential …

The measurement and control of polymerization reactors is very challenging due to the
complexity of the physical mechanisms and polymerization kinetics. In these reactors many …

We consider strategies for integrated design and control through the robust and efficient
solution of a mixed-integer dynamic optimization (MIDO) problem. The algorithm is based on …

Abstract Roger WH Sargent (1926–2018) was an unprecedented pioneer who foresaw the
role that mathematical and computational tools would have in chemical engineering. His …

An overview of global methods for dynamic optimization and mixed-integer dynamic
optimization (MIDO) is presented, with emphasis placed on the control parametrization …
