smoothMaxN

Smooth maximum of a vector

FastSmoothBuildings.Controls.smoothMaxN, function (source)

Purpose

The largest element of a vector, once continuously differentiable: the controls of the circuits take the largest opening of their valves with it.

Equations

y = smoothMax(… smoothMax(smoothMax(u₁, u₂, δ), u₃, δ) …, u_n, δ), and y = u₁ for a single element. Each smoothMax is exactly the maximum when its two arguments differ by more than δ.

Parameters

delta = 10⁻³ by default, the dMax of the controllers that call it.

Use

In BoilerDemand and CollectorControl.
