Simulation-based optimization models are widely applied to find optimal operating conditions of processes. Often, computational challenges arise from model complexity, making the generation of reliable design solutions difficult. We propose an algorithm fo ...
Adaptive networks have the capability to pursue solutions of global stochastic optimization problems by relying only local interactions within neighborhoods. The diffusion of information through repeated interactions allows for globally optimal behavior, w ...
This project falls within the framework of a Master Thesis at the Industrial Processes and Energy Systems Engineering (IPESE) laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). With the aim of assessing the building stock impact on global energ ...
We propose a statistically optimal approach to construct data-driven decisions for stochastic optimization problems. Fundamentally, a data-driven decision is simply a function that maps the available training data to a feasible action. It can always be exp ...
This paper gives a new formulation to design adaptive structures through total energy optimization (TEO). This methodology enables the design of truss as well as tensegrity configurations that are equipped with linear actuators to counteract the effect of ...
Diffractive optical elements are ultra-thin optical components required for a variety of applications because of their high design flexibility. We introduce a gradient-based optimization method based on a step-transition perturbation approach which is an e ...
In the current work we present two generalizations of the Parallel Tempering algorithm in the context of discrete-timeMarkov chainMonteCarlo methods for Bayesian inverse problems. These generalizations use state-dependent swapping rates, inspired by the so ...
Robust and distributionally robust optimization are modeling paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty where the uncertain parameters are only known to reside in an uncertainty set or are governed by any probability distribution from within an ambigu ...
In this paper, we propose a simple global optimisation algorithm inspired by Pareto’s principle. This algorithm samples most of its solutions within prominent search domains and is equipped with a self-adaptive mechanism to control the dynamic tightening o ...
We study a PDE-constrained optimization problem, where the shape and liner material of the nacelle of an aircraft engine are optimized in order to minimize the noise radiated by the engine. More precisely, the acoustic problem is modeled by the Helmholtz e ...
