This paper presents the formulation of a flight clearance criterion as a convex optimization problem. The criterion is the stability margins criterion which is specified as an allowable phase and gain margin of a certain loop transfer function. The satisfaction of the criterion amounts to the Nichols plot of the loop transfer function being outside a specified trapezoidal region. It was shown p...

This paper1 advances results in model selection by relaxing the task of optimally tuning the regularization parameter in a number of algorithms with respect to the classical cross-validation performance criterion as a convex optimization problem. The proposed strategy differs from the scope of e.g. generalized cross-validation (GCV) as it concerns the efficient optimization, not the individual ...

This paper shows possibility of extraction Social, Group and Individual Mind from Multiple Agents Rule Bases. Types those Rule bases are selected as two fuzzy systems, namely Mambdani and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system. Their rule bases are describing (modeling) agent behavior. Modifying of agent behavior in the time varying environment will be provided by learning fuzzyneural networks and optimiza...

An adaptive joint power allocation (JPA) and linear receiver design algorithm using the minimum bit error rate (MBER) criterion for a cooperative Multiple-Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) network is proposed. The system employs multiple relays with Distributed Space-Time Coding (DSTC) schemes and an Amplify-and-Forward (AF) strategy. It is designed according to a joint constrained optimization algor...

Tower cost makes up an important part in the whole wind turbine construction especially for offshore farms. The main method to reduce tower is weight by optimum design. This paper proposes a two-level optimization criterion optimal design of steel conical considering different structural reliability and uncertainty, along with discreteness variables such as thickness bolt type. In first level, ...

Emerging multiple display infrastructures provide users with a large number of semi-public and private displays. Selecting what information to present on which display here becomes a real issue, especially when multiple users with diverging interests have to be considered. This especially holds for dynamic ensembles of displays. We propose to cast the Display Mapping problem as an optimization ...
