The lithium-ion battery is an ideal candidate for a wide variety of applications due to its high
energy/power density and operating voltage. Some limitations of existing lithium-ion battery …

This paper presents an overview of the research progress in deterministic global
optimization during the last decade (1998–2008). It covers the areas of twice continuously …

Motivation Kinetic models contain unknown parameters that are estimated by optimizing the
fit to experimental data. This task can be computationally challenging due to the presence of …

Background Kinetic models of biochemical systems usually consist of ordinary differential
equations that have many unknown parameters. Some of these parameters are often …

Theory and implementation for the global optimization of a wide class of algorithms is
presented via convex/affine relaxations. The basis for the proposed relaxations is the …

Background Dynamic modelling provides a systematic framework to understand function in
biological systems. Parameter estimation in nonlinear dynamic models remains a very …

Innovative membrane technologies optimally integrated into large separation process plants
are essential for economical water treatment and disposal. However, the mass transport …

Significant progress in the area of simultaneous design and control for chemical processes
has been achieved and various methodologies have been put forward to address this issue …

An automated, continuous flow system for the online, multivariable optimization of a
chemical reaction is presented. Time and material required for an optimization trial are …

We extend recent work on nonlinear optimal control problems with integer restrictions on
some of the control functions (mixed-integer optimal control problems, MIOCP). We improve …
