<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller of an internal combustion engine capable of accurately estimating an oxygen concentration in an exhaust recirculation gas. <P>SOLUTION: The excess air ratio λ<SB>0</SB>of the exhaust recirculation gas flowing into an exhaust gas recirculation passage 5 is calculated according to the oxygen concentration OXCE detected by an oxygen concentration sensor 25 installed in an exhaust system. Also, an exhaust recirculation gas flow velocity V is calculated according to the operating state of an engine, and an excess air ratio λn of an exhaust recirculation gas flowing into an intake tube 2 is calculated by using an excess air ratio model in which the excess air ratio λ<SB>o</SB>and the exhaust recirculation gas flow velocity V are used as inputs. A fuel supply control is performed by using the excess air ratio λn. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
