Some new domain decomposition methods (DDM) based on optimal control approach are introduced for the coupling of first- and second-order equations on overlapping subdomains. Several cost functionals and control functions are proposed. Uniqueness and existe ...

The study presents dynamic optimisation of a small size single basin wastewater treatment plant. The objectives are to determine an optimal sequence of aeration/non-aeration times and the corresponding periodical steady state subject to minimisation of ene ...
We propose a method to identify training sequences for multiple-antenna transmissions over quasi-static frequency-selective channels. These sequences are constructed to belong to a standard constant-amplitude 2m-PSK constellation (such as BPSK, QPSK etc) t ...
For the optimization of dynamic systems, it is customary to use measurements to combat the effect of uncertainty. In this context, an approach that consists of tracking the necessary conditions of optimality is gaining in popularity. The approach relies st ...
Probabilistic Guarantees on the Termination Time of a Consensus Algorithm in Asynchronous Systems N. Sergent This paper is concerned with an application of Hierarchical Coloured Timed Petri Nets to the modelling and the performance evaluation of a distribu ...
This paper compares three heuristic methods (SA, TS and GA) applied to the optimal location of FACTS devices in a power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are ...
Due to the steady tendency to propose highly customized products and to respond to volatile (i.e random) demands, Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are now present in most shopfloors. In this thesis, flexibility in a FMS is understood as the ability of ...
We address the problem of efficient bit allocation in a dependent coding environment. While optimal bit allocation for independently coded signal blocks has been studied in the literature, we extend these techniques to the more general temporally and spati ...
Recently, an experimental campaign has been launched on TCV with the aim of exploring and extending the limits of the operating space. The vertical position control system has been optimized, with the help of extensive model calculations, in order to allow ...
