  • Fractional Order Darwinian Particle Swarm Optimization

    Applications and Evaluation of an Evolutionary Algorithm

    by Micael Couceiro, Pedram Ghamisi ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book examines the bottom-up applicability of swarm intelligence to solving multiple problems, such as curve fitting, image segmentation, and swarm robotics. It compares the capabilities of some of the better-known bio-inspired optimization approaches, especially Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Darwinian Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) and the recently proposed Fractional Order Darwinian ...

  • Analysis of Deterministic Cyclic Gene Regulatory Network Models with Delays

    by Mehmet Eren Ahsen, Hitay Özbay, Silviu-Iulian Niculescu ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This brief examines a deterministic, ODE-based model for gene regulatory networks (GRN) that incorporates nonlinearities and time-delayed feedback. An introductory chapter provides some insights into molecular biology and GRNs. The mathematical tools necessary for studying the GRN model are then reviewed, in particular Hill functions and Schwarzian derivatives. One chapter is devoted to the ... Read more

  • Contract Theory in Continuous-Time Models

    by Jakša Cvitanic, Jianfeng Zhang ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In recent years there has been a significant increase of interest in continuous-time Principal-Agent models, or contract theory, and their applications. Continuous-time models provide a powerful and elegant framework for solving stochastic optimization problems of finding the optimal contracts between two parties, under various assumptions on the information they have access to, and the effect ...

  • A Missing Link in Cybernetics

    Logic and Continuity

    by Alex M. Andrew ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In this book I argue that a reason for the limited success of various studies under the general heading of cybernetics is failure to appreciate the importance of con- nuity, in a simple metrical sense of the term. It is with particular, but certainly not exclusive, reference to the Arti cial Intelligence (AI) effort that the shortcomings of established approaches are most easily seen. One reason ... Read more

  • Lasso-MPC – Predictive Control with ℓ1-Regularised Least Squares

    by Marco Gallieri ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This thesis proposes a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy, which modifies the usual MPC cost function in order to achieve a desirable sparse actuation. It features an ℓ1-regularised least squares loss function, in which the control error variance competes with the sum of input channels magnitude (or slew rate) over the whole horizon length. While standard control techniques lead to ... Read more

  • Urban Water Management

    Science Technology and Service Delivery

    Edited by Roumen Arsov, W. Ed Watt, Evzen Zeman, J. Marsalek ...
    Series Book 25 - NATO Science Series: IV
    Urban population growth dramatically alters material and energy fluxes in the affected areas, with concomitant changes in landscape, altered fluxes of water, sediment, chemicals and pathogens and increased releases of waste heat. These changes then impact on urban ecosystems, including water resources and result in their degradation. Such circumstances make the provision of water services to urban ... Read more
