In this paper we consider an optimal design problem, where the goal is to find the layout of two conductors that minimize a given quadratic objective functional. The most important feature of the objective functional is that it is weakly discontinuous. In that case the tools of homogenization that were traditionally used in order to study such problems, are helpful but not sufficient. In this p...

This paper considers the implementation of an economic outcome under complete information when the strategic and informational details of the participation game are partially-specified. This means that full participation is required to be a subgame-perfect equilibrium for a large variety of extensive modifications of the simultaneous-move participation game in the same vein as Kalai [Large Robu...

In this paper, design approach of PID controller with rejection function against external disturbance in motor control system is proposed using bacterial foraging based optimal algorithm. Up to the present time, PID Controller has been used to operate for AC motor drive because of its implementational advantages in practice and simple structure. However, it is not easy to achieve an optimal PID...

This paper proposes a methodology for presizing the power of an electric vehicle traction motor. Based on the vehicle desired performances, the electric motor optimal power can be calculated. The final objective is to meet the design constraints with minimum power under the European urban (ECE-15) and sub-urban (EUDC) driving cycles. The power presizing methodology is validated through extensiv...

This paper presents a methodology based on Multiobjective Genetic Algorithms (MOGA’s) for the design of electrical engineering systems. MOGA’s allow to optimize multiple heterogeneous criteria in complex systems, but also simplify couplings and sensitivity analysis by determining the evolution of design variables along the Pareto-optimal front. A rather simplified case study dealing with the op...
