Abstract

By using penalty functions to handle state constraints, iterative dynamic programming can be used in a straightforward manner for the optimization of fed-batch fermentors. No computational difficulties were encountered and better results are obtained than previously reported in the literature for a fed-batch fermentor for biosynthesis of penicillin.
