Design and experimental investigation of a herringbone grooved gas bearing supported turbocharger

The design of an oil free turbocharger supported on herringbone grooved gas bearing was formulated as a multi-objective problem, which was solved by coupling a reduced order parametric model for gas bearing supported rotors with an evolutionary algorithm. ...

Policy Gradient Algorithms for Robust MDPs with Non-Rectangular Uncertainty Sets

Daniel Kuhn, Mengmeng Li, Tobias Sutter

We propose a policy gradient algorithm for robust infinite-horizon Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with non-rectangular uncertainty sets, thereby addressing an open challenge in the robust MDP literature. Indeed, uncertainty sets that display statistical ...

Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation of the Quantum Fisher Information

Giuseppe Carleo, Julien Sebastian Gacon, Stefan Woerner

The Quantum Fisher Information matrix (QFIM) is a central metric in promising algorithms, such as Quantum Natural Gradient Descent and Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution. Computing the full QFIM for a model with d parameters, however, is computat ...

Passenger-centric timetable rescheduling: A user equilibrium approach

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder

Unexpected disruptions commonly occur in the railway network, causing delays, and extra cost for operators and inconvenience for passengers by missing their connection and facing overcrowded trains. This paper presents a passenger-centric approach for time ...

Evolutionary Algorithm Optimization of Staggered Biological or Biomimetic Composites Using the Random Fuse Model

Roberto Guarino, Gianluca Costagliola, Federico Bosia

In Nature, biological materials such as nacre, bone, and dentin display an enhanced mechanical strength due to their structure characterized by hard inclusions embedded in a soft matrix. This structure has inspired the design of artificial materials with o ...

Automated Design Tool for Automotive Control Actuators

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Cyril Picard

Automated design tools are seldom used in industry. Their potential, however, is high, especially in companies mostly active in variant design, where custom tools could help cut down development time in the early stages. The design of geared electro-mechan ...

Continuation Multilevel Monte Carlo Evolutionary Algorithm for Robust Aerodynamic Shape Design

Fabio Nobile, Pénélope Leyland, Michele Pisaroni

The majority of problems in aircraft production and operation require decisions made in the presence of uncertainty. For this reason, aerodynamic designs obtained with traditional deterministic optimization techniques seeking only optimality in a specific ...

A Review of Evaluation, Optimization and Synthesis of Energy Systems: Methodology and Application to Thermal Power Plants

François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Shivom Sharma, Alberto Mian, Tzu-En Lin

To reach optimal/better conceptual designs of energy systems, key design variables should be optimized/adapted with system layouts, which may contribute significantly to system improvement. Layout improvement can be proposed by combining system analysis wi ...
