A model predictive control-based scheduler for a class of discrete event systems is designed and developed. We focus on repetitive, multiple-input, multiple-output, and directed acyclic graph structured systems on which capacity constraints can be imposed... see more

A perfect mix of the air and fuel in internal combustion engines is desirable for proper combustion of fuel with air. The vehicles running on road emit harmful gases due to improper combustion. This problem is severe in heavy vehicles like locomotive engi... see more

We investigate the Oneshot Optimization strategy introduced by Hamdi and Griewank for the applicability and efficiency to identify parameters in models of the earth's climate system. Parameters of a box model of the North Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation... see more

This paper presents a population-based evolutionary optimization method for minimizing a given cost function. The mutation operator of this method selects randomly oriented lines in the cost function domain, constructs quadratic functions interpolating th... see more

Non linear models can be represented conveniently by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models when nonlinearities are bounded. This approach uses a collection of linear models which are interpolated by non linear functions. Then the global control law is the interpolat... see more

A global solution strategy for multilevel optimization problems with special non-convexityformulation in the objectives of the inner level problems is presented based on branch-and-bound andmulti-parametric programming approach. An algorithm to such probl... see more

The Hestenes-Stiefel (HS) conjugate gradient algorithm is a useful tool of unconstrainednumerical optimization, which has good numerical performance but no global convergence result under traditional line searches. This paper proposes a line search techni... see more

In this paper, multiproduct supply chain network model is developed with system opti-mization perspective. Each kind of products has an individual cost function and, at the same time,contributes to its own and other product's cost function in an individua... see more
