Hybrid shooting - a new optimization method for unstable dynamical systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical processes are modeled by large-scale, highly-nonlinear process models often governed by unstable dynamics. Dynamic optimization is required to exploit economical performance of these processes in their unstable regions. On the one hand, direct single shooting is able to solve large-scale dynamic optimization problems, but lacks the ability to cope properly with unstable dynamical systems. On the other hand, the multiple shooting method is capable of dealing with instabilities but results in larger optimization problems. This work deals with a novel parameterization approach, termed hybrid shooting, which combines the advantages of single and multiple shooting into one approach. Similar to multiple shooting, stages are introduced and states with unstable properties are parameterized by free initial values at the beginning of each stage. This approach significantly enhances the behavior of the optimization problem by improving the condition of the underlying initial value problem (IVP).

Incremental single shooting - A robust method for the estimation of parameters in dynamical systems
Estimating the parameters of a dynamical system based on measurement data is an important but complex task in industrial and scientific practice (Schittkowski, 2002). Due to its importance, different approaches to solve this kind of problem have been developed. The most established ones are single shooting (Bard, 1974), multiple shooting (Bock, 1983) and full discretization techniques (Biegler,...
متن کاملA Dynamical Systems Approach to Traveling Wave Solutions for Liquid/Vapor Phase Transition
We study the existence of liquefaction and evaporation waves by the methods derived from dynamical systems theory. A traveling wave solution is a heteroclinic orbit with the wave speed as a parameter. We give sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of such heteroclinic orbit. After analyzing the local unstable and stable manifolds of two equilibrium points, we show that there exis...

We introduce a new approach for analysis and numerical simulations of asymmetric first-price auctions, which is based on dynamical systems. We apply this approach to asymmetric auctions in which players’ valuations are power-law distributed. We utilize a dynamical-systems formulation to provide a proof of the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium strategies in the cases of two coalitions ...

متن کاملAn Sqp Method for the Optimal Control of Large-scale Dynamical Systems
We propose a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for the optimal control of large-scale dynamical systems. The method uses modified multiple shooting to discretize the dynamical constraints. When these systems have relatively few parameters, the computational complexity of the modified method is much less than that of standard multiple shooting. Moreover, the proposed method is demons...
