Generation and optimisation of real-world static and dynamic location-allocation problems with application to the telecommunications industry.
… as cost, profit or a measure of distance. Many formulations of LA problems have been presented in the literature to capture and study the unique aspects of real-world problems. However, some real-world aspects, such as resilience, are still lacking in the literature. Resilience ensures …

A dynamic programming approach to single attribute process control
… pattern search procedure. The second model is a dynamic formulation. The optimal decision policies developed using this model vary with the expected state of the process. Several cost components are considered in the mathematical development of each model. They are: the cost of sampling, the cost …

Optimal Design and Control of Multibody Systems with Friction
… optimization methods for multibody dynamic systems with the incorporation of joint friction. The dynamic formulation has been derived in using two distinct techniques: Index-1 DAE and the tangent-space formulation in minimal coordinates. It employs a two different approaches for …

Parametric Modeling of Deformable Linear Objects for Robotic Outfitting and Maintenance of Space Systems
… model is shown to reduce prediction errors. A dynamic formulation is implemented to allow the parametrically built DLO to be manipulated in a constrained environment. The model is validated against a real dynamic cable manipulation with a UR10e robot arm, both with and without the estimated …

Dynamic exergy-based methods for improving the operation of building energy systems
… mass transfer models representing the system’s dynamic behavior were first formulated. Then all dynamic exergy-based methods were developed and applied to this model. Unlike the first case study, the second one is a real existing building with an extensive data collection and monitoring system, …

Optimization and control of Distributed Energy Resources in electric power distribution grids
… and efficient resource allocation by dynamically pricing resources according to market mechanisms. Efficient resource allocation is particularly crucial in systems where total demand must match total supply to ensure safe operation. For example, in power grids, maintaining this balance …

Analysis and Optimization of Chassis Movements in Transportation Networks with Centralized Chassis Processing Facilities
… during the day is minimized. Time-varying dynamic models for the movements of chassis and containers are developed and used in the optimization process. The optimal solution is obtained through a genetic algorithm, and the effectiveness of the developed methodology is evaluated through a …

Large eddy simulations of premixed turbulent flame dynamics : combustion modeling, validation and analysis
… however, is that the flames are more prone to dynamics. The unsteady release of sensible heat and flow dilatation in combustion processes create pressure fluctuations which, particularly in premixed flames, can couple with the acoustics of the combustion system. This acoustic coupling creates a …

A framework for Improving Hydrologic and Water Quality Prediction in Urbanized Watersheds through Stakeholder Co-Design and Multi-Model Integration
… for the year 2040. Second, the watershed-scale dynamics under baseline (present) and future (2040) scenarios were simulated using three models: SWAT, HSPF, and WARMF. Third, an inter-model comparison was conducted that related the differences in model architecture, spatial discretization, …

Resource Allocation on Networks: Nested Event Tree Optimization, Network Interdiction, and Game Theoretic Methods
… tree optimization framework, we present a novel formulation for the problem as a specially structured nonconvex factorable program, and develop two branch-and-bound schemes based respectively on utilizing a convex nonlinear relaxation and a linear outer-approximation, both of which are proven to …
