چکیده

Reconstructing brain activity through electroencephalography requires a boundary value problem (BVP) solver to take a proposed distribution of current dipoles within the brain and compute the resulting electrostatic potential on the scalp. This article proposes the use of sequential kriging optimization to identify different optimal BVP solver parameters for dipoles located in isolated sections of the brain by considering the cumulative impact of randomly oriented dipoles within a chosen isolated section. We attempt preemptive termination of parametrizations suggested during the sequential kriging optimization which, given the results to that point, seem unlikely to produce high quality solutions. Numerical experiments on a simplification of the full geometry for which an approximate solution is available show a benefit from this preemptive termination.

Application of Sequential Gaussian Conditional Simulation to Underground Mine Design Under Grade Uncertainty

In mining projects, all uncertainties associated with a project must be considered to determine the feasibility study. Grade uncertainty is one of the major components of technical uncertainty that affects the variability of the project. Geostatistical simulation, as a reliable approach, is the most widely used method to quantify risk analysis to overcome the drawbacks of the estimation methods...

An Optimization via Simulation approach for the preemptive and non-preemptive multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems

In this paper a novel modelling and solving method has been developed to address the so-called resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) where project tasks have multiple modes and also the preemption of activities are allowed. To solve this NP-hard problem, a new general optimization via simulation (OvS) approach has been developed which is the main contribution of the current re...
