A constrained non-linear approximator for empirical process control is disclosed. , The approximator constrains the behavior of the derivative of a subject empirical model , without adversely affecting the ability of the model to represent generic nonlinear, relationships. There are three stages to developing the constrained non-linear approximator. The first stage is the specification of the general shape of the gain , trajectory or base non-linear function which is specified graphically algebraically or , generically and is used as the basis for transfer functions used in the second stage. The , second stage of the invention is the interconnection of the transfer functions to allow …
