Tracking Action Potentials of Nonlinear Excitable Cells Using Model Predictive Control

چکیده
We present explicit and online Model Predictive Controllers (MPCs) for an excitable cell simulator based on the nonlinear FitzHugh-Nagumo model. Despite the plant’s nonlinearity, we are able to formulate the model predictive control problem as an instance of quadratic programming, using a PieceWise Affine (PWA) abstraction of the plant. The speed-versus-accuracy tradeoff for the explicit and online versions is analyzed on various reference trajectories. Our MPC-based approach, enabled by the PWA abstraction, presents a framework for designing automated in silico biomedical control strategies for excitable cells, such as cardiac myocytes and neurons. Keywords–Biocomputing; Model Predictive Control; Excitable Cells.

متن کاملPotentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
متن کاملHybrid model predictive control of a nonlinear three-tank system based on the proposed compact form of piecewise affine model
In this paper, a predictive control based on the proposed hybrid model is designed to control the fluid height in a three-tank system with nonlinear dynamics whose operating mode depends on the instantaneous amount of system states. The use of nonlinear hybrid model in predictive control leads to a problem of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is very complex and time consuming t...

In this paper, a new incremental predictive guidance method based on implicit form of velocity to be gained algorithm is proposed. In this approach, the generalized incremental predictive control (GIPC) approach is applied to the linearized model for compensating the guidance error. Instead of using the present state in popular model based predictive controller (MPC), in the new method both pre...
متن کاملCollision of two action potentials in a single excitable cell.
BACKGROUND It is a common incident in nature, that two waves or pulses run into each other head-on. The outcome of such an event is of special interest, because it allows conclusions about the underlying physical nature of the pulses. The present experimental study dealt with the head-on meeting of two action potentials (AP) in a single excitable plant cell (Chara braunii internode). METHODS ...
