Outliers are observations that do not follow the statistical distribution of the bulk of the data, and consequently may lead to erroneous results with respect to statistical analy...
The paper addresses control related design issues for neutralization plants. Mainly for control reasons, the neutralization is usually performed in several steps (mixing tanks) wi...
This contribution deals with scheduling problems of flexible chemical batch processes with a special emphasis on their real-time character. This implies not only the need for suff...
The problem addressed in this work is to develop a comprehensive mathematical programming model for the efficient scheduling of oil-refinery operations. Our approach is first to d...
Bifurcation theory provides a powerful tool for analyzing the nonlinear dynamic behavior of process systems. However, although the theory in principle applies to lumped as well as...
The algorithmic framework developed for improving heuristic solutions of the new version of deterministic TSP [Choi et al., 2002] is extended to the stochastic case. To verify the...
Significant advances have been made in the last two decades for the effective solution of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems, mainly by exploiting the special s...
