Another optimization approach was followed by Wagner [68 ]. Wagner developed a methodology for performing simultaneous model parameter estimation and source characterization, in which he used an inverse model as a non-linear maximum likelihood estimation problem. The hydrogeologic and source parameters were estimated based on hydraulic head and contaminant concentration measurements. In essence, this method is minimizing the following ... 

On the basis of the concepts developed in the former sections, the latter section showed a series of design problems. The used approach can also be interesting for problems like system architecture synthesis and comparison [28], parameter synthesis [16], equilibrium or steady-state position determination [4], or the coupling of model inversion with dynamic optimization [24, 26, 27, 32], Finally, the approach was used in the domain of active systems [31], in industrial applications like in aeronautics for electro-hydraulic actuators [17] or in automotive for electric power steering and suspension systems [29, 30], and for classic and hybrid power trains [3,28].

With regard to future work, several issues should be studied, among them are, the development of ways to combine the inverse and direct optimality methods, the design of control structures with compatible passivity and detectability structures, the development of measures of stability, passivity, and detectability, the consideration of other control schemes like model predictive control, and the design of dedicated observers for control or monitoring purposes. 

For a proton-metal-surface system, Eq. (1) can be considered as the actual chemical part of a surface complexation model, which would be specified in an input file to an optimization code. Inverse modeling would consist in a number of calculations, in which the stoichiometries are varied. The procedure can be improved by adding supplementary information on species... 

For this purpose, the inverse modeling approach described in Section 5.2 allows the crystal grower in a very comfortable way to obtain the required information. By inverse modeling the heater temperature-time profiles can be optimized in order... 

Fig. 3.5 Inverse modeling with parameter tuning by a genetic algorithm. The modeling program is supposed to model some complex real world phenomenon. Its tuning can be formulated as an optimization process. By comparing the modeling results with the real world, a quality measure is obtained that can be used to guide the search for suitable model parameters.

This paper is structured as follows in section 2, we recall the statement of the forward problem. We remind the numerical model which relates the contrast function with the observed data. Then, we compare the measurements performed with the experimental probe with predictive data which come from the model. This comparison is used, firstly, to validate the forward problem. In section 4, the solution of the associated inverse problem is described through a Bayesian approach. We derive, in particular, an appropriate criteria which must be optimized in order to reconstruct simulated flaws. Some results of flaw reconstructions from simulated data are presented. These results confirm the capability of the inversion method. The section 5 ends with giving some tasks we have already thought of.

Explicit calculation of the electronic coupling matrix element, Hah, is performed by modeling the transition state (Fig. 3) as a supermolecule, [M(H20)6]2+, and optimizing its geometry under the constraint of having an inversion center of symmetry The numerical value of Hab is then obtained from the energy gap between the appropriate molecular orbitals of the supermolecule. 

In this chapter Prof. Rice has advocated two techniques that should be useful for evaluations of optimal fields for laser control of chemical reactions (i) reduced space of eigenstates for representations of nuclear wavepackets and (ii) the use of effective reaction coordinates. Both techniques have already been used for efficient evaluations of reaction probabilities in model reactions. See, for example, Ref. 1 for the prediction of population inversion and Ref. 2 for the demonstration of rather strong deviations of chemical reactions from the reaction path, specifically in the case of hydrogen transfer reactions.
