With the ever-growing data sizes along with the increasing complexity of the modern problem formulations, contemporary applications in science and engineering impose heavy computational and storage burdens on the optimization algorithms. As a result, there ...
Model predictive control schemes for power electronic applications are characterized by a great variety of problem formulations. In this paper, we consider a three phase voltage source converter with an arbitrary number of voltage levels and derive a model ...
This paper provides expressions for solutions of a one-dimensional global optimization problem using an adjoint variable which represents the available one-sided improvements up to the interval "horizon." Interpreting the problem in terms of optimal stoppi ...
The process industries are characterized by a large number of continuously operating plants, for which optimal operation is of economic and ecological importance.
Many industrial systems can be regarded as an arrangement of several subsystems,
where outp ...
Multiparty videoconferences, or more generally multiparty video calls, are gaining a lot of popularity as they offer a rich communication experience. These applications have, however, large requirements in terms of both network and computational resources ...
For lumped homogeneous reaction systems, this paper presents a kinetic model identification scheme that provides maximum-likelihood parameter estimates and guarantees convergence to global optimality. The use of the extent-based incremental approach allows ...
Automated switch-block exploration gains in importance as technology scaling brings more emphasis on the physical constraints, making it insufficient to rely on abstract measures of routability alone. In this work, we take an approach that significantly di ...

The steady-state performance of a parametrically or structurally uncertain system can be optimized using iterative real-time optimization methods such as modifier adaptation. Here, we extend a recently proposed second-order modifier-adaptation scheme in tw ...
We optimize a silica-encapsulated silicon L3 photonic crystal cavity for ultra-high quality factor by means of a global optimization strategy, where the closest holes surrounding the cavity are varied to minimize out-of-plane losses. We find an optimal val ...
We present a new method for multi-contact motion planning which efficiently encodes internal dynamics of the robot without needing to use full models. Our approach is based on a five-mass model which is formulated by Cartesian points instead of joint angle ...
