An eecient numerical solution scheme entitled adaptive diierential dynamic programming is developed in this paper for multiobjective optimal control problems with a general separable structure. For a multiobjective control problem with a general separable structure, the \optimal" weighting coeecients for various performance indices are time-varying as the system evolves along any noninferior tr...

Most applications accessible through the Web suffer from a noticeable lack of support for adapting to the different information needs that different users may have regarding a certain topic. However, completely automatic adaptive support can still be confusing for users who may not understand the reasons for the dynamic change in the behaviour of an application. In this paper, we present a poss...

Dynamically adaptive methods for the solution of partial differential equations that employ locally optimal approximations can yield highly advantageous ratios for cost/accuracy. Distributed implementations of these methods offer the potential for accurate solution of physically realistic models of important physical systems. These implementations however, lead to interesting challenges in dyna...

Electric Power Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) is the problem of determining an optimal construction and generation plan of both new and existing electric power plants to meet future electricity demand. We consider a stochastic optimization approach for this capacity expansion problem under demand and fuel price uncertainty. In a two-stage stochastic optimization model for GEP, the capacity...

Two-dimensional Euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. An upwind finite volume scheme, based on Roe's flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. Using advancing front method, an initial Delaunay triangulation has been made. The adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, ac...

The paper presents an adaptive controller design for a class of nonsmooth systems with uncertainty. The design method is based on the concept of the Filippov solution since a classical approach can not be applied to establish the stability of the adaptive control system. It is shown by means of a solid nonsmooth analysis that the adaptive control system is globally strongly stable and the state...

friction is a nonlinear phenomenon which has destructive effects on performance of control systems. to obviate these effects, friction compensation is an effectual solution. in this paper, an adaptive technique is proposed in order to eliminate limit cycles as one of the undesired behaviors due to presence of friction in control systems which happen frequently. the proposed approach works for n...

To design methodologies that will allow researchers to directly correlate the results of adaptive control experiments with physiochemical control pathways in arbitrary complex molecular systems it is imperative that prototype systems are developed and that exigent control pathways are understood. We have been interested in the results of adaptive control experiments in our laboratory involving ...

An adaptive wavelet method for the chemical master equation is constructed. The method is based on the representation of the solution in a sparse Haar wavelet basis, the time integration by Rothe’s method, and an iterative procedure which in each time-step selects those degrees of freedom which are essential for propagating the solution. The accuracy and efficiency of the approach is discussed,...
