Systematic Simulation Using Sensitivity Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new technique for verification by simulation of continuous and hybrid dynamical systems with uncertain initial conditions. We provide an algorithmic methodology that can, in most cases, verify that the system avoids a set of bad states by conducting a finite number of simulation runs starting from a finite subset of the set of possible initial conditions. The novelty of our approach consists in the use of sensitivity analysis, developed and implemented in the context of numerical integration, to efficiently characterize the coverage of sampling trajectories.

Sensitivity Analysis of Hydraulic Parameters in the Simulation of Unsaturated Soil Water Dynamics
Soil water content is one of the most important parameters for estimating irrigation frequency and providing the plant’s water requirement. Since measurement of soil water content is both expensive and time consuming, water movement models are used to estimate these values. In this study, LEACHW model was used to estimate soil water content for two “dry” (20-29 Aug) and “wet” (1-6 Jul) periods ...
متن کاملSensitivity and uncertainty analysis of sediment rating equation coefficients using the Monte-Carlo simulation (Case study: Zoshk-Abardeh watershed, Shandiz)
The sediment load estimation is essential for watershed management and soil conservation strategies. The sediment rating curve is the most common approach for estimating the sediment load when the observed sediment records are not available. With regard to the measurement errors and the limitation of available data, the sediment rating curve has a degree of uncertainty which should be accounted...

متن کاملA generalized ABFT technique using a fault tolerant neural network
In this paper we first show that standard BP algorithm cannot yeild to a uniform information distribution over the neural network architecture. A measure of sensitivity is defined to evaluate fault tolerance of neural network and then we show that the sensitivity of a link is closely related to the amount of information passes through it. Based on this assumption, we prove that the distribu...
