This paper presents the application of genetic algorithms to find the optimum feedback gains in pole placement with integral control to get the desired performance in control system. Performances are measured in terms of key parameters like settling time, peak overshoot, undershoot, rise time etc in control system. The major drawbacks of pole placement technique are to get optimum location of p...

Finding the location for plans like factories or warehousesfor any organization is an important and strategic decision. Costs oftransportation which are the main part of the price of the goods, is thefunction of the location of these projects. to find the optimum locationof these projects, there have been various methods proposed which areusually defined (not random). In reality and in dealing ...

This paper describes a Bayesian method for optimum accelerated life test planning with one accelerating variable, when the acceleration model is linear in the parameters, based on censored data from a log-location-scale distribution. We use a Bayesian criterion based on estimation precision of a distribution quantile at a specified use condition and use this criterion to find optimum test plans...

Location and types of sensors may be integrated for simultaneous achievement of water security goals and other water utility objectives, such as regulatory monitoring requirements. Complying with the recent recommendations on dual benefits of sensors, this study addresses the optimal location of these types of sensors in a multipurpose approach. The study presents two mathematical models for ...

Optimization is about inferring the location of the optimum of a function. An information-optimal optimizer should thus aim to collapse its belief about the location of the optimum towards a point-distribution, as fast as possible. But the state of the art rarely addresses this inference problem. Instead, it usually relies on some heuristic predicting function optima, then evaluates at the maxi...

In order to maintain the communications quality at a target level, signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based transmission power control methods have been developed in CDMA cellular systems. These power control methods, however, do not necessarily improve system efficiency when there is a large geographic deviation in traffic because they only control power levels. A shift in the cell boundary ca...

The location problem of interconnected facilities on the line with forbidden gaps is considered. The located facilities are connected among themselves and with gaps. Location in forbidden gaps is not allowed. It is need to minimize the total cost of connections between facilities and between facilities and gaps. It is known that the initial continuous problem is reduced to series discrete subpr...

Regional co-location patterns represent subsets of object types that are located together in space (i.e. region). Discovering regional spatial co-location patterns is an important problem with many application domains. There are different methods in this field but they encounter a big problem: finding a unique optimum neighborhood radius or finding an optimum k value for nearest neighbor featur...
