“…In search of new advanced control schemes, theories have evolved in several directions, giving a very rich bibliography over 80 years. For the CSTR control example, various control strategies, such as the exact feedback linearization control [11,12], the nonlinear backstepping control [2], the model predictive control [4,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19], different optimal control strategies [20][21][22][23], the adaptive control approaches [24][25][26][27], and the sliding mode control theory [1,[28][29][30][31][32] have been proposed among others. We can also ind several articles based on successful combinations between advanced nonlinear control theories and soft computing tools such as artiicial neural networks (ANN) [33,34], fuzzy inference systems (FIS) [3,35], and many bio-inspired optimization algorithms such as the genetic algorithm (GA) [7,36], etc.…”
