Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine, which includes one or more cylinders, of which individual cylinders can be deactivated and, in an optimized manner with regard to time, reactivated again in order to influence a torque output by the internal combustion engine. To further optimize, with regard to time, the provision of torque during the operation of an internal combustion engine, a time delay and/or a delay in degrees crank angle or revolutions of the internal combustion engine between a triggering and the reactivation of a deactivated cylinder is taken into consideration for the reactivation of the deactivated cylinder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the boost pressure on an unsteady-running piston internal combustion engine with a turbocharger. According to the inventive method, a blow-off valve, which is connected upstream from the supercharger turbine in the exhaust gas tract, is controlled by an engine control, the position of the pedal and a boost-proportional gradient are detected by the engine control when initiating an acceleration operation and, when a predeterminable value for the boost-proportional gradient is surpassed, the blow-off valve is actuated in an opening direction in order to effect a predeterminable controlled increase of pressure.
