An object is to provide a control device for an internal combustion engine, at an inexpensive price, whereby it is possible to suppress a decrease in the exhaust gas performance of the internal combustion engine due to an environmental change or damage from aging. The present invention relates to a control device for an internal combustion engine which controls an EGR amount by adjusting an opening degree of an EGR valve (20) disposed in an EGR channel (16), the control device comprising temperature detection units (24, 26, 30), a pressure detection unit (28), a unit (48) to calculate a basic opening degree of the EGR valve, a unit (44, 56) to calculate an estimate value of at least one of an air-excess ratio or an intake oxygen concentration on the basis of detection values obtained by the temperature detection units and the pressure detection unit, a unit (46, 48) to calculate a target value of the estimate value, a unit (50) to calculate a correction factor K on the basis of the estimate air-excess ratio s and the target air-excess ratio t, a unit (52) to calculate the opening-degree command value D for the EGR valve on the basis of the basic opening degree Db and the correction coefficient K, and a unit (54) to control the EGR valve on the basis of the opening-degree command value D.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a first exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a second exhaust manifold. In one example, a flow of exhaust (e.g., exhaust gas recirculation) from engine cylinders to the intake passage, upstream of a compressor, via an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) passage and the first exhaust manifold may be adjusted by adjusting a timing of a first set of cylinder exhaust valves coupled to the first exhaust manifold. Additionally, the first set of cylinder exhaust valves open at a different time than a second set of cylinder exhaust valves coupled to the exhaust passage.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a first exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a second exhaust manifold. In one example, in response to an electric motor driving an electric compressor positioned upstream of a turbocharger compressor disposed in the intake passage, a position of a valve in an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) passage coupled between the intake passage and the first exhaust manifold may be adjusted based on a pressure in the first exhaust manifold.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a first exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a second exhaust manifold. In one example, one or more valves of a set of first exhaust valves coupled to the second exhaust manifold may be deactivated in response to select engine operating conditions, while maintaining active all valves of a set of second exhaust valves coupled to the first exhaust manifold. The select engine operating conditions may include one or more of a deceleration fuel shut-off condition, a part throttle condition, and a cold start condition.
