Abstract
An iterative method of dynamic programming is applied to reaction prob lems with complex kinetics, which are carried out in continuous stirre d tank reactors (CSTR) and a quench-type reactor. As an example of a c omplex reaction, the Denbigh reaction scheme was taken. A special feat ure of the optimization problem is the appearance of multiple steady s tates, which leads to mixed integer problems. In order to calculate mi xed integer problems, the iterative dynamic programming (IDP) is exten ded.
