ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to simulate total dry matter intake and cost of diets optimized by nonlinear programming to meet the nutritional requirements of dairy does and growing doelings. The mathematical ...

Teaching econometrics has been studied by a number of researchers, however, there is little information available on the quality of examination and on simplification of tests for demonstration the high-quality knowledge ...

Abstract The problem of optimizing a certain systems as a function of time may be formulated in terms of maximizing or minimizing a non-linear cost function. It was found that a Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm was par...

Abstract An increasing number of researchers have researched fixture layout optimization for thin-walled part assembly during the past decades. However, few papers systematically review these researches. By analyzing exi...

Due to the impact of crude oil prices on refinery revenues, the petroleum industry has switched to processing lowcost crude oils. They are blended with high-quality crude oils to feed the crude distillation units (CDUs) ...

Abstract Overtaking accidents caused by improper operations performed by a driver occur frequently. However, most studies on overtaking safety have neglected research into driver control input. A novel method is proposed...

A novel approach to approximately solving the restricted-control LQR problem online is substantiated and applied in two case-studies.  The first example is a one-dimensional system whose exact solution is known.  The o...

El propósito de este trabajo es desarrollar una metodología para la determinación del precio de los combustibles derivados del petróleo y aplicarla al sector energético argentino. Sobre la base de un modelo matemát...

The solution of nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations plays a significant role in analyzing many nonlinear events that occur in chemistry, physics, mathematical biology, and a variety of other fields of scien...

As photonic linear computations are diverse and easy to realize while photonic nonlinear computations are relatively limited and difficult, we propose a novel way to perform photonic nonlinear computations by linear oper...

Amid escalating energy crises and environmental pressures, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an effective measure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, combat climate change, uphold sustainable energy and environment...

Abstract Most researches focus on the regenerative braking system design in vehicle components control and braking torque distribution, few combine the connected vehicle technologies into braking velocity planning. If th...

Abstract Accurate estimation of the shear capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams without stirrups remains challenging because the response is governed by strongly coupled geometric, material, and reinfo...

We introduce the use of a global, nonlinear price function in linear programming and the simplex method. The usual, linear price function of this method captures the objective's behaviour over the cone of directions defi...

Access to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with directional control excited by electrical means is important for applications in (on-chip) nano-optoelectronic devices and to circumvent limitations inherent to approaches...

The study of multiproduct assembly lines producing several models in a series of runs or campaigns is of special interest to modern industries. Assuming that the assembly line makes synchronous movements between workstat...

Abstract Fuel consumption is one of the main concerns for heavy-duty trucks. Predictive cruise control (PCC) provides an intriguing opportunity to reduce fuel consumption by using the upcoming road information. In this s...

Abstract At present, research on hydraulic mounts has mainly focused on the prediction of the dynamic stiffness and loss angle. Compared to the traditional finite element analysis method, the programming method can be us...

The study of optimality conditions and constraint qualification is a key  topic in nonlinear optimization. In this work, we present a reformulation of the well-known second-order constraint qualification described by ...

Abstract Reasonable and efficient inter-basin water resources utilization is critical in alleviating water supply–demand constraints in water-scarce regions, improving rivers and lakes ecological conditions, and promot...

Antiretroviral therapies allowing for regular medical intervention in an optimal feedback role are substantiated. Individual therapies are evaluated from a multi-objective cost perspective, under different time and histo...

Constrained continuous processes can be optimally controlled through dynamic programming techniques that solve it as a numeric sequence. These techniques are a powerful tool, regardless the nature of the system and its p...
