ABSTRACT: A complex
autonomous inventory coupled system is considered. It can take, for example,
the form of a network of chemical or biochemical reactors, where the inventory
interactions perform the recycling of by-products between the subsystems.
Because of the flexible subsystems interactions, each of them can be operated
with their own periods utilizing advantageously their dynamic properties. A
multifrequency second-order test generalizing the p-test for single systems is
described. It can be used to decide which kind of the operation (the static
one, the periodic one or the multiperiodic one) will intensify the productivity
of a complex system. An illustrative example of the multiperiodic optimization
of a complex chemical production system is presented.
