Godt Nytt AAr
Med det nye }ret f|lger nye gleder, sorger, h}p, dr|mmer, og sist, men ikke
minst, administrative oppgaver, her er en dere alle vil sette pris p}:
AArsrapporten for 1995.
Fra sp|k til revolver, ogs} i }r skal PROST lage en }rsrapport, den vil
bli organisert som i fjor (eksempel ligger p} inst. ktr).
Vennligst f|lg de retningslinjene nedenfor, og f} en annen stipendiat til
} lese gjennom rapporten slik at de mest }penbare stavefeil blir luket ut.
Svar utebedes innen 26/1-1996. Sendes p} mail til meg.

Til slutt et par vitser:
Ludderet viser stolt frem en sjekk på 1000 kroner til kassereren
i banken.
- Se her, min venn. Hva synes du om den. Han hadde sannelig
spanderbuksene på seg.
Kassereren undersøker kontoen og sier:
- Det vil jeg ikke si. Jeg vil heller si han hadde overtrekks-
bukser på.....
-Hvorfor får ikke Greven spille fotball?
-Fordi han brenner alle straffene.
-Hvorfor spiser Greven bare helkornbrød?
-Fordi det er hel(h)vete i dem.

Ph.D student Sverre St/oeren
Status
I started my Ph.D. study in 1991, and will finish my doctoral degree in 1996. In 1995 I will be on leave from my studies working as coordinator of the new Nordic program on Process Integration. My doctoral work is financed by the PROMIA project, and my advisor is Prof. Terje Hertzberg.
Research area
This year I have finished my work on Local Thermodynamic Models, and I presented my work at the ESCAPE-4 meeting. I tried out a simplified model with low updating overhead, and good stability properties. The model was tried on phase equilibrium problems using both a DAE and ODE approach. Good results were obtained with a ODE solver, but the results were disappointing when using a DAE solver since the noice generated on each local model update strongly affected the steplength determination.
I then started working within dynamic optimization, with the intention to use som of the principles of local models there. I have read a lot in the litterature, and have decided to work within the area of dynamic SQP methods. These methods iteratively solve the optimality conditions of a linear-quadratic adaption to the real problem. For dynamical systems, the optimality conditions are given by the Pontryagin Minimum Principle.
My second area within dynamic optimization is within model reduction, when the dynamical process models are of semi-explicit index 1, they can be extensively mainpulated after linearization.
Activities
%Finished the work on use of local thermodynamic models on parallell computers, the work was presented at PSE-94 in Korea, Juni 1994. I was co-author.
%Presented my work on local thermodynamic models on the ESCAPE-4 conference in Dublin,April 1994.
%Visited Prof. Lorentz Biegler at Carnegie Mellon University, august-september 1994.
%Arranged a colloquium within dynamical optimization at the department, about 6-8 doctoral students attended.
%Arranged a EEU course within dynamic optimization together with my supervisor Terje Hertzberg and my office mate Haavard I. Moe. I was administratively responsible.
%Co-advisor on the diploma work done by Norbert Holle
%Co-advisor on the diploma work done by Steinar Gangs/oe

Plans for 1995
Next year I will be busy as coordinator of the on Process Integration, I expect to arrange at least to semainars/short courses within the area. I am also responsible for a investigation of the present industrial and academic knowledge and experience within process integration in the nordic countries. I will present a paper on dynamic optimization at the ESCAPE-5 conference in Bled, Slovenia, and my research next year will be focused on finishing my ongoing projects in that area.
