In many situations, agents optimize their own operations locally but their local problems are interdependent. We consider the problem of coordinating these local problems to find a globally optimal solution. We model the coordination problem as a Distribut ...
The process industries are characterized by a large number of continuously operating plants, for which optimal operation is of economic importance. However, optimal operation is particularly difficult to achieve when the process model used in the optimizat ...
This thesis is about the numerical simulation and optimization of the alumina repartition in the bath of an aluminium electrolysis pot. A mathematical model is set up which contains the feeding of alumina particles to the bath, the dissolution of the parti ...
We present a new approach for the construction of lower bounds for the inf-sup stability constants required in a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations. We combine the ``linearized' ...
We present in this paper a new complete method for distributed constraint optimization. This is a utility-propagation method, inspired by the sum-product algorithm. The original algorithm requires fixed message sizes, linear memory, and is time-linear in t ...
Econometric models play an important role in transportation analysis. Estimating more and more complex models becomes problematic. The associated log-likelihood function is highly nonlinear and non concave and the comlexity of the model requires constraint ...
Combinatorial optimization problems in the real world are ubiquitous. Practical applications include planning, scheduling, distributed control, resource allocation, etc. These problems often involve multiple agents and can be formulated as a Multi-agent Co ...
The Gage II concrete arch dam shows some limiting constraints in its structural behavior when submitted to particular hydrostatic and thermal load conditions. Its sensitivity to low temperature has led to determine two different maximum water levels during ...
This paper aims to maximize the profitability of a set of brand SKUs stocked at a particular retailer by optimizing the number of facings for each product. Based on the past data, a set of variables such as retail price of different SKUs, linear footage th ...
