This paper reviews the use of set-membership methods in fault diagnosis (FD) and fault
tolerant control (FTC). Setmembership methods use a deterministic unknown-but-bounded …

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

For many years all three of us have been interested in, and have tried to make contributions
to, derivative-free optimization. Our motivation for writing this book resulted from various …

An n-dimensional vector x is an array of n scalars x1, x2,..., xn. The notation x represents the
array when its elements are arranged in a column, while the notation xT represents the array …

In oil field development, the optimal location for a new well depends on how it is to be
operated. Thus, it is generally suboptimal to treat the well location and well control …

Well placement and control optimization in oil field development are commonly performed in
a sequential manner. In this work, we propose a joint approach that embeds well control …

This monograph explores mathematical issues related to vulnerability analysis of power
grids, with a focus on optimization methods. The target audience is primarily made up of …

The optimization of oil field development and production planning typically requires the
consideration of multiple, possibly conflicting, objectives. For example, in a waterflooding …

In many engineering applications it is common to find optimization problems where the cost
function and/or constraints require complex simulations. Though it is often, but not always …

Oil production optimization involves the determination of optimum well controls (eg, well
pressures, injection rates) to maximize an objective function such as cumulative oil …
