Control and Optimization of Multiscale Process Systems

"The book is well prepared, and contains many interesting applications. People working in the area of process control, and/or in the area of stochastic PDEs, and/or in multiscale modeling, analysis and simulation may find it a good source of problems to work on." -Mathematical Reviews "In several industrial processes multiscale modeling is necessary to describe the coupling of macroscopic and microscopic phenomena. Here, methods for feedback control and optimization of processes of this type are considered...The book contains many illustrations and tables with data from concrete processes and a large list of references. A good knowledge in partial differential equations, probability theory and mathematical statistics, simulation methods, control and optimization is required for an efficient reading of this book." -Zentralblatt MATH
