Analysis of a Belgian Chocolate Stabilization Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a detailed numerical and theoretical analysis of a stabilization problem posed by V. Blondel in 1994. Our approach illustrates the effectiveness of a new “gradient sampling” algorithm for finding local optimizers of nonsmooth, nonconvex optimization problems arising in control, as well as the power of nonsmooth analysis for understanding variational problems involving polynomial roots and eigenvalues.

Switching and Periodic Control of the Belgian Chocolate System
The paper aims at providing a switching solution for a parametrized Belgian chocolate stabilization problem posed by Blondel. We show that for any given value of the parameter describing the given transfer function, there exist simple switching and periodic control laws that stabilize the plant. The simplicity in designing these control laws sharply contrasts with the difficulty of designing a ...
متن کاملLocal structure and algorithms in nonsmooth optimization
Given a real δ, find stable real polynomials p and q such that the polynomial r(s) = (s − 2δs+ 1)p(s) + (s − 1)q(s) is also stable. (We call a polynomial p stable if its abscissa α(p) = max{Re s : p(s) = 0} is nonpositive.) Clearly the problem is unsolvable if δ = 1, since then r(1) = 0; more delicate results (summarized in [7]) show it remains unsolvable for δ < 1 close to 1. Blondel offered a...
متن کاملRheological Properties of Chocolate Pistachio
This research aimed to assess and determine rheological properties of chocolate pistachio produced from various volumes of monoglycoside (1% and 2%), date powders (34, 38 and 42%) and pistachio pastes. The analyses were performed at temperaturesof 45 ºC, 65 ºC after 3 and 5 hours of processing. These products were found to exhibit nonNewtonian, pseudo-plastic behavior at all treatments. Apparen...
متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks Water Resistance Training with Dark Chocolate Supplementation on the Balance of the Elderly
Introduction: Improving balance in the daily lives of the elderly plays an important role, especially in reducing their risk of falling. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks water resistance training with dark chocolate supplementation on the balance of the elderly. Methods: In this study, 38 elderly people with an age range of 73-60 years were r...
