Supervised learning-based explicit nonlinear model predictive control and unknown input estimation in biomedical systems
<p>Application of nonlinear control theory to biomedical systems involves tackling some unique and challenging problems. The mathematical models that describe biomedical systems are typically large and nonlinear. In addition, biological systems exhibit dynamics which are not reflected in the model …
