A class of max-min optimal control problems with applications to chromatography

In this paper, we consider a class of non-standard optimal control problems in which the objective function is in max-min form and the state variables evolve over different time horizons. Such problems arise in the control of gradient elution chromatography—an industrial process used to separate and...

description In this paper, we consider a class of non-standard optimal control problems in which the objective function is in max-min form and the state variables evolve over different time horizons. Such problems arise in the control of gradient elution chromatography—an industrial process used to separate and purify multi-component chemical mixtures. We develop a computational method for solving this class of optimal control problems based on the control parameterization technique, a time-scaling transformation, and a new exact penalty method.
