ON OUTPUT FEEDBACK NONLINEAR MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL USING HIGH GAIN OBSERVERS FOR A CLASS OF SYSTEMS (2007)

Lars Imsl, Frank Allgower, Bjarne A. Foss

Abstract: In recent years, nonlinear model predictive control schemes have been derived that guarantee stability of the closed loop under the assumption of full state information. However, only...

A feedback approach to bifurcation analysis in biochemical networks with many parameters (2007)

Waldherr, Steffen, Allgower, Frank

Feedback circuits in biochemical networks which underly cellular signaling pathways are important elements in creating complex behavior. A specific aspect thereof is how stability of equilibrium...

Bistability preserving model reduction in apoptosis (2007)

Waldherr, Steffen, Eissing, Thomas, Chaves, Madalena, Allgower, Frank

Biological systems are typically very complex and need to be reduced before they are amenable to a thorough analysis. Also, they often possess functionally important dynamic features like...

Response to bistability in apoptosis: Roles of Bax, Bcl-2, and mitochondrial permeability transition pores (2007)

Eissing, Thomas, Waldherr, Steffen, Allgower, Frank, Scheurich, Peter, Bullinger, Eric

Recently, a mathematical model of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway was proposed. In that study, the robustness of different simplified signaling models with respect to parameter changes was also...

Steady state and (bi-) stability evaluation of simple protease signalling networks (2007)

Eissing, Thomas, Waldherr, Steffen, Allgower, Frank, Scheurich, Peter, Bullinger, Eric

Signal transduction networks are complex, as are their mathematical models. Gaining a deeper understanding requires a system analysis. Important aspects are the number, location and stability of...

Adaptive lambda-tracking for nonlinear higher relative degree systems (2005)

Bullinger, Eric, Allgower, Frank

This paper proposes a relatively simple adaptive controller for nonlinear systems with higher relative degree. The controller achieves lambda-tracking for a large class of nonlinear systems, i.e. it...

Reduction of mathematical models of signal transduction networks: simulation-based approach applied to EGF receptor signalling (2004)

Conzelmann, Holger, Saez-Rodriguez, Julio, Sauter, Thomas, Bullinger, Eric, Allgower, Frank, Gilles, Ernst Dieter

Biological systems and, in particular, cellular signal transduction pathways are characterised by their high complexity. Mathematical models describing these processes might be of great help to gain...

Bistability analyses of a caspase activation model for receptor-induced apoptosis (2004)

Eissing, Thomas, Conzelmann, Holger, Gilles, Ernst Dieter, Allgower, Frank, Bullinger, Eric, Scheurich, Peter

Apoptosis is an important physiological process crucially involved in development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Although the major signaling pathways have been unraveled, a detailed...

A benchmark for methods in reverse engineering and model discrimination: Problem formulation and solutions (2004)

Kremling, Andreas, Fischer, Sophia, Gadkar, Kapil, Doyle, Francis J, Sauter, Thomas, Bullinger, Eric, ...

A benchmark problem is described for the reconstruction and analysis of biochemical networks given sampled experimental data. The growth of the organisms is described in a bioreactor in which one...

A note on stability, robustness and performance of output feedback nonlinear model predictive control (2003)

Imsland, Lars, Findeisen, Rolf, Bullinger, Eric, Allgower, Frank, Foss, Bjarne A

In recent years. nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) schemes have been derived that guarantee stability of the closed loop under the assumption of full state information. However, only limited...
