Exploration of trade-offs between steady-state and dynamic properties in signaling cycles
Dominique Bonvin, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Benoît Chachuat, Andrijana Radivojevic
In the intracellular signaling networks that regulate important cell processes, the base pattern comprises the cycle of reversible phosphorylation of a protein, catalyzed by kinases and opposing phosphatases. Mathematical modeling and analysis have been us ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2012Directional Input Adaptation in Parametric Optimal Control Problems
Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Saurabh Anand Deshpande
This paper deals with input adaptation in dynamic processes in order to guarantee feasible and optimal operation despite the presence of uncertainty. The proposed adaptation consists in using the nominal optimal inputs and adding appropriately designed inp ...
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics2012Robust Real-Time Optimization of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack
Dominique Bonvin, Jan Van Herle, Zacharie Wuillemin, Benoît Chachuat, Arata Nakajo, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Leonidas Tsikonis
On-line control and optimization can improve the efficiency of fuel cell systems whilst simultaneously ensuring that the operation remains within a safe region. Also, fuel cells are subject to frequent variations in their power demand. This paper investigate ...
2011Exploration of signaling cycles using dynamic optimization
Dominique Bonvin, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Benoît Chachuat, Andrijana Radivojevic
One of the basic characteristics of every living system is the ability to respond to extracellular signals. This is carried out through a limited number of protein-based signaling networks, whose function is not based only on simple transmission of the rec ...

2010A Dual Modifier-Adaptation Approach for Real-Time Optimization
Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti
For good performance in practice, real-time optimization schemes need to be able to deal with the inevitable plant-model mismatch problem. Unlike the two-step schemes combining parameter estimation and optimization, the modifier-adaptation approach does no ...
Elsevier2010Optimal Start-up of Microfabricated Power Generation Processes Employing Fuel Cells
Microfabricated fuel cell systems have the potential to outperform batteries for man-portable power generation. Because many electronic devices operate at various loads, with frequent start-ups and shut-downs, transient aspects are highly important and mus ...
Wiley-Blackwell2010Parametric Sensitivity of Path-Constrained Optimal Control: Towards Selective Input Adaptation
Dominique Bonvin, Benoît Chachuat, Saurabh Anand Deshpande
In the context of dynamic optimization, plant variations necessitate adaptation of the input profiles in order to guarantee both feasible and optimal operation. For those problems having path constraints, two sets of directions can be distinguished in the ...
