Abstract

A method of regulating an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders is provided, wherein each of the individual cylinders can be deactivated in accordance with a predeterminable pattern depending on a required power output, wherein the predeterminable pattern comprises a time sequence of commands for ignition and commands for skipping ignition, and wherein the predeterminable pattern is derived with a calculation specification in such a way that spacing between the individual cylinders intended for skipping in relation to a firing order is an odd number and is preferably in coprime relationship with the number of cylinders.
