Observers for the estimation of functional groups of the anaerobic digestion
Résumé
In this paper, we show how specific tools of automatic control, and in particular nonlinear observer theory can be exploited to estimate the most important different functional groups of the anaerobic digestion independently of its kinetics. In particular, we show how such a strategy can be used to investigate the important "assignation problem" (assign a function to a species)within the framework of microbial ecology of the anaerobic digestion.
