Interval enclosures for reachable sets of chemical kinetic flow systems. Part 3: Indirect-bounding method
In the third paper, in the three-part series, we propose an indirect-bounding approach for constructing rigorous interval enclosures or bounds for the reachable sets of CSTR reaction systems subject to parametric and initial condition uncertainties and flow rate disturbances. Existing comparison-based methods yield conservative enclosures for the reachable sets due to the non-quasi-monotonic and noncooperative nature of CSTR reaction systems. The proposed indirect-bounding method addresses the overestimation problem by using the isomorphic transformation, developed in Tulsyan and Barton (2017a), to map the system into a transformed state space, where comparison-based methods yield tight bounds. The interval bounds on the original states are then reconstructed using the inverse transformation. This eliminates the need to know a priori an effective enclosure set for the CSTR reaction system, as required by the direct-bounding method in Tulsyan and Barton (2017b). The efficacy of the indirect bounding method is validated on several example problems. Several comparisons with the direct bounding method are also presented to demonstrate the improvements achieved with the indirect bounding method. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
