Patent attributes
An engine control device includes a model that, based on engine operating condition and first-type operation amount, reproduces at least one index from among various indexes of combustion state of engine, and a processor that executes a process including deciding on second-type operation amount, by optimization using the model so as to treat at least one of the indexes, which are reproduced by the model, as estimated value of control amount, and ensure that the estimated value of the control amount follows control target value, associating the second-type operation amount with the control target value and the engine operating condition, rewriting a learning control table in which operation amount corresponding to the control target value and the engine operating condition is registered, and calculating operation amount according to the learning control table based on the control target value and the engine operating condition.
