Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for robustly estimating soot oxidation rates on a particulate filter. The invention uses empirically measured soot consumption rates as defined boundary rates, and operates between those rates using theoretical relationships between soot consumption and various operating conditions. The invention may also operate outside the defined boundaries by extrapolating the theoretical relationships beyond the defined boundary. The invention thereby overcomes the inflexibility of empirical modeling by allowing reasonable estimates at points that are not explicitly measured, and it overcomes the sensitivity of theoretical models to non-idealities that are experienced in real applications.
