Hierarchical Operation of Water Level Controllers: Formal Analysis and Application on a Large Scale Irrigation Canal

Sadowska, A.; Overloop, P.-J.; Burt, C.; Schutter, B. - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 14, pp. 4999-5019

We introduce a hierachical controller, the purpose of which is to speed up the water delivery process as compared to the standard method applied currently in the field. The lower layer of the hierarchical control consists of local proportional integral filter controllers (PIF controllers) for...

Sequential quadratic programming methods for parametric nonlinear optimization

Kungurtsev, Vyacheslav; Diehl, Moritz - In: Computational Optimization and Applications 59 (2014) 3, pp. 475-509

<Para ID="Par1">Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods are known to be efficient for solving a series of related nonlinear optimization problems because of desirable hot and warm start properties—a solution for one problem is a good estimate of the solution of the next. However, standard SQP solvers...</para>
