    摘要: A control device calculates a first estimate value of a first monitored amount of a mobile object, from sensor information of a controlled object, using a transformed first model obtained by transformation of a first model having a multi-layered neural structure and activation functions of a ReLU structure, and predicting dynamic behavior of the mobile object. The transformed first model is a model for which weight coefficients, biases, and upper and lower limit values of input/output variables of neurons are set based on the first model and in which activation functions of the neurons are transformed using a linear inequality function having a binary variable. The control device calculates a second estimate value of a second monitored amount of the controlled object from a candidate value of an operation amount for controlling the second monitored amount. The control device determines a value of the operation amount based on a target value of the second monitored amount, the second estimate value, and the first estimate value.
