Adaptive Random Searches (ARS) are simple and effective optimization methods used for handling complicated nonconvex / multimodal nonlinear programming (NLP) and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. ARS iteratively adapt search characteristics according to the past successful / failure steps. Periodic search domain expansions and contractions improve significantly the reliabili...
We describe a procedure to reduce variable bounds in Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) as well as Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problems. The procedure works by combining pairs of inequalities of a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the problem. This bound reduction technique extends the feasibility based bound reduction technique on linear functions, used in MINLP and MI...
Many applications must ingest and analyze data that are continuously generated over time from geographically distributed sources such as users, sensors and devices. This results in the need for efficient data analytics in geo-distributed systems. Energy efficiency is a fundamental requirement in these distributed systems, and its importance is reflected in much recent work on performance analys...
The use of networks allows the representation of a variety of important engineering problems. The treatment of a particular class of network applications, the Process Synthesis problem, is exposed in this paper. Process Synthesis seeks to develop systematically process owsheets that convert raw materials into desired products. In recent years, the optimization approach to process synthesis has ...
Platforms with multiple Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) F1 instances, can efficiently accelerate multi-kernel pipelined applications, e.g., Convolutional Neural Networks for machine vision tasks or transformer networks Natural Language Processing tasks. To reduce energy consumption when the FPGAs are underutilized, we propose a model to (1) find off-lin...
The optimization of chemical processes where the flowsheet topology is not kept fixed is a challenging discrete-continuous optimization problem. Usually, this task has been performed through equation based models. This approach presents several problems, as tedious and complicated component properties estimation or the handling of huge problems (with thousands of equations and variables). We pr...
A novel approach for obtaining globally optimal solutions to design of networks with nonlinear resistances and potential driven flows is proposed. The approach is applicable to networks where the potential loss on an edge in the network is governed by a convex and strictly monotonically increasing function of flow rate. We introduce a relaxation of the potential loss constraint and formulate th...
Here we present a center-cut algorithm for convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) that can either be used as a primal heuristic or as a deterministic solution technique. Like many other algorithms for convex MINLP, the center-cut algorithm constructs a linear approximation of the original problem. The main idea of the algorithm is to use the linear approximation differently in order...
Global optimization for sustainable design and synthesis of a large-scale algae processing network under economic and environmental criteria is addressed. An algae processing network superstructure including 7800 processing routes is proposed. Based on the superstructure, a multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is developed to simultaneously optimize the unit cost and...
This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) for reactive power and voltage control (Volt/Var Control: VVC) in electric power systems considering voltage security. VVC can be formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem (MINLP). The proposed method expands the original PSO to handle a MINLP and determines an on-line VVC strategy with continuous and discrete control va...
