Model predictive control (MPC) has a long history in the field of control en- gineering. It is one of the few areas that has received on-going interest from researchers in both the industrial and academic communities. Four major as- pects of model pr
This book presents a broad overview of numerical methods and software for students and professionals in computationally oriented disciplines who need to solve mathematical prob-lems. It is not a traditional numerical analysis text in that it contain
The estimation of total population size for various phenomena of crime is an important factor critical for criminal justice policy formulation and criminological theory development. In this paper, methods are discussed for estimating the size of a c
In this paper a stabilized finite element method to deal with incompressibility in solid mechanics is presented. A mixed formulation involving pressure and displacement fields is used and a continuous linear interpolation is considered for both fiel
The starting point in the formulation of any numerical problem is to take an intuitive idea about the problem in question and to translate it into precise mathematical language. This book provides step-by-step descr iptions of how to formulate numer
