Abstract: A controller and a control method for internal combustion engine, and a memory medium are provided. A port injection ratio is changed according to an engine operating state of the internal combustion engine. The port injection ratio is a ratio of a port injection amount that is an amount of fuel injected by port injection valves to an amount of fuel supplied to cylinders from the port injection valves and direct injection valves. An injection reducing process causes a fuel injection amount in a reduced-injection cylinder to be smaller than a fuel injection amount in other cylinders. An increase limiting process limits increases in an adhered fuel amount in intake ports by regulating the port injection ratio during execution of the injection reducing process.

Abstract: A CPU increases an injection amount when a coolant temperature of an internal combustion engine is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature. The CPU corrects the injection amount to control an air-fuel ratio to a target value in a feedback manner. The CPU performs a temperature raising process for a GPF, by stopping fuel injection in a second cylinder and making the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture in first, third, and fourth cylinders richer than a theoretical air-fuel ratio. In performing the temperature raising process, the CPU stops a feedback process of the air-fuel ratio. In performing the temperature raising process, the CPU corrects the injection amount in a decreasing manner in accordance with an operation amount of the feedback process before the performance of the temperature raising process.

An internal combustion engine and a first rotating electric machine are capable of applying power to a driven wheel via a power split device. A deactivating process deactivates combustion control in a deactivated cylinder that corresponds to one or more of cylinders of the internal combustion engine. A first compensation process sets, when the deactivating process is executed, torque of the first rotating electric machine to be larger than torque of the first rotating electric machine obtained prior to starting the deactivating process so as to compensate for at least some of a decrease amount of torque of the internal combustion engine resulting from the deactivating process.

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.

Abstract: When an amount of PM trapped by a GPF is large and a request for regeneration is made, a CPU determines whether an execution condition for executing a temperature increasing process is satisfied. At a point in time t1, at which the execution condition is satisfied, the CPU executes a scavenging process to assign 1 to a condition satisfaction flag Ftr, cause the air-fuel ratio of air-fuel mixture in cylinders #1, #3, and #4 to be the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and stop a combustion operation in a cylinder #2. After a point in time t2, which is after a combustion cycle, the CPU executes a temperature increasing process. The temperature increasing process causes the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders #1, #3, and #4 to be richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and stops the combustion operation in the cylinder #2.

The CPU gradually increases a ratio of the increase amount to the base injection amount, at the start of the temperature raising process.
