“…In recent years, model based algorithms have gained significance in the domain of online optimization of combustion engines (Isermann, 2003). In this area, known optimization systems like, for example, Cameo (Gschweitl et al, 2001) and Vega (Bredenbeck, 1999) are in use, but the algorithm mbminimize presented in (Knödler et al, 2003) (Knödler, 2004) (Poland et al, 2003) also has found its place in real applications.…”
