The research community has been making significant progress in hardware implementation, numerical computing and algorithm development for optimization-based control. However, there are two key challenges that still have to be overcome for optimization-base ...
A fully discrete analysis of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method for a class of nonlinear elliptic homogenization problems of nonmonotone type is proposed. In contrast to previous results obtained for such problems in dimension d≤2 for ...
Aerodynamic shape optimization has become of primary importance for the aerospace industry over the last years. Most of the method developed so far have been shown to be either computationally very expensive, or to have low dimensional search space. In thi ...
In the development of energy and chemical processes, the process engineers extensively apply computer aided methods to design & optimise these processes and corresponding process units. Such applications are multi-scale modelling and multi-objective optimi ...
We propose a non-parametric regression method that does not rely on the structure of the ground-truth, but only on its regularity properties. The methodology can be readily used for learning surrogate models of nonlinear dynamical systems from data, while ...
Adaptive networks have the capability to pursue solutions of global stochastic optimization problems by relying only local interactions within neighborhoods. The diffusion of information through repeated interactions allows for globally optimal behavior, w ...
In this contribution, we propose an algorithm for replacing non-linear process simulation integrated in multi-level optimization of an energy system superstructure with surrogate models. With our approach, we demonstrate that surrogate models are a valid t ...
This paper investigates the control of an ML component within the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) devoted to black-box optimization. The known CMA-ES weakness is its sample complexity, the number of evaluations of the objective fun ...
Optimal operation of chemical processes is key for meeting productivity, quality, safety and environmental objectives. Both model-based and data-driven schemes are used to compute optimal operating conditions [1]: - The model-based techniques are intu ...
This study evaluates the potential of supervised and transfer learning techniques to assist energy system optimization. A surrogate model is developed with the support of a supervised learning technique (by using artificial neural network) in order to bypa ...
