Uncertainties in parameter estimation and optimal control in batch distillation
Optimal control problems in batch distillation involve finding a trajectory for the reflux ratio so as to maximize a performance index. Then the controller is asked to follow this...

Parameter estimation with expected and residual-at-risk criteria
In this paper we study a class of uncertain linear estimation problems in which the data are affected by random uncertainty. In this setting, we consider two estimation criteria,...
