Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling an internal combustion engine ( 1 ) by a turbocharger ( 12 ) provided with a turbine ( 13 ) and with a compressor ( 14 ) and comprising, furthermore, an intake manifold ( 4 ) and a number (W) of cylinders ( 3 ), which are connected to the intake manifold ( 4 ) and in which the air mass trapped in each cylinder ( 3 ) for each engine cycle can be adjusted in an independent manner through a respective intake valve by a valve actuation device with a variable opening, the control method comprising steps of: determining the total target torque (C determining a number (Wa) of active cylinders ( determining the angle with which the intake valve has to be controlled by the valve actuation device with a variable opening of the number (Wa) of active cylinders ( determining the angle with which the intake valve has to be controlled by the valve actuation device with a variable opening of the number (Ws) of inactive cylinders ( controlling the internal combustion engine (
