    Abstract: A method for operating an internal-combustion engine having an exhaust gas catalyst, a first exhaust gas sensor upstream of the exhaust gas catalyst and a second exhaust gas sensor downstream of the exhaust gas catalyst. A fill level of an exhaust gas component that can be stored in the exhaust gas catalyst is determined using a theoretical catalyst model, into which, as the input value, a signal of the first exhaust gas sensor (a first signal); a signal of the second exhaust gas sensor (a second signal); and a target signal are provided. The target signal corresponds to the signal that would be expected at the determined fill level in the exhaust gas catalyst. The catalyst model is reinitiated when the deviation of the second signal from the target signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The fill level is also regulated, and an air-fuel mixture is adjusted.

    Abstract: A control device and a control method for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine including a post-processing device are provided. The control device includes an electronic control unit executing a temperature raising process of raising the temperature of the post-processing device and a recovery-time process. The temperature raising process includes a stopping process and a rich process. In the stopping process, supply of fuel to several of cylinders is stopped. In the rich process, the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture for different ones of the cylinders other than the several cylinders is made lower than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. In the recovery-time process, the concentration of unburned fuel in exhaust gas discharged to the exhaust passage is made higher than an equivalent concentration, when the temperature raising process is stopped. The equivalent concentration is the concentration of unburned fuel being just enough to react with oxygen in the exhaust gas.
