Reachability analysis and deterministic global optimization of differential-algebraic systems
… including, process development, economic optimization, control system design and safety analysis. In such applications, one is primarily interested in the behavior of the model solution with respect variations in the model inputs or uncertainties in the model itself. This thesis addresses …

Fairness and optimality in trading
… scheme. We solve the resulting multi-objective optimization problem by adopting the Max-Min fairness, Proportional fairness and a-fairness schemes. Under these schemes, the resulting optimization problems have non-convex objectives and non-convex constraints, which are NP-hard in general. We …
