Three methods based on the three-dimensional shallow ice approximation of glacier flow are devised that infer a glacier's subglacial topography from the observation of its time-evolving surface and mass balance. The quasi-stationary inverse method relying ...
We address the multicriterion optimization of utility plants with economic and environmental concerns. Rather than optimizing a single environmental metric, which was the traditional approach followed in the past, we focus on optimizing these systems consi ...
Evolutionary algorithms are heuristic methods that operate on a population of individuals, which represent candidate solutions to optimization problems. Individuals with better quality, or fitness, are reproduced at a higher rate than less fit individuals ...
Although conventional structural analysis software is widely used by practicing engineers, its pedagogical value for students is limited, especially in design applications. Nevertheless, there is an established value in students exploring engineering probl ...
This paper applies a novel two-layer optimizing control scheme to a kite-control benchmark problem. The upper layer is a recent real-time optimization algorithm, called Directional Modifier Adaptation, which represents a variation of the popular Modifier A ...
The measurement matrix employed in compressive sensing typically cannot be known precisely a priori, and must be estimated via calibration. One may take multiple compressive measurements, from which the measurement matrix and underlying signals may be esti ...
This paper considers the path following of unmanned helicopters based on dynamic optimization. We assume that the helicopter is equipped with a flight control system which provides an approximation of its closed-loop dynamics. The task at hand is to derive ...
The design of a microvascular flow network embedded in an actively-cooled polymeric material is presented. A multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with the finite element method is first used to determine the quasi-optimized network configuration ...
The design of photonic crystal cavities has always presented a considerable challenge over the past two decades. In this work, a global optimization technique has been used to maximize the Q/V ratio of a simple H0 type nanocavity. The optimization is carri ...
In revenue management, the profitability of the inventory and pricing decisions rests on the accuracy of demand forecasts. However, whenever a product is no longer available, true demand may differ from registered bookings, thus inducing a negative bias in ...
