Abstract:
A method for controlling an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: measuring first information from said engine by using a first plurality of sensors; providing said first information to a first engine control system, said first engine control system configured to provide a desired accuracy for said engine, said first control system providing a first control signal; measuring second information from said engine by using a second plurality of sensors, where said second plurality of sensors comprises fewer sensors than said first plurality of sensors, providing said second information to a second engine control system, said second engine control system providing a second control signal; and configuring said second engine control system using said first engine control signal and said second engine control signal, where said step of configuring comprises generating a training signal from a physical criteria related to entropy production and an information criteria, said information criteria computed from a difference between said first control signal and said second control signal, and providing said training signal to a fuzzy neural network in said second control system.
