Environmental exposure to asbestos could increase the risk of asbestosis and lung function impairment in workers occupationally exposed to asbestos, independent from occupational exposure and smoking.
In this study, model predictive control (MPC) and inverse optimal control (IOC) approaches are merged with each other and a new control strategy is evolved. The key feature in this strategy is to solve the IOC problem repeatedly for each receding horizon of the model predictive control approach. From another perspective, MPC structure is inserted to IOC problem and thus, IOC problem is solved repeatedly using different initial conditions at the beginning of each receding horizon. In the solution phase of IOC, the parameters of the candidate control Lyapunov function matrix are estimated using the global evolutionary Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) optimization algorithm in an on-line manner. Thus, the proposed control structure solves the optimal control problem in classical MPC approach to the search of an appropriate candidate control Lyapunov function matrix for each control horizon. The comparison of the proposed method with the other related control methods are performed on the ball and beam system via simulations and real-time applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
