While moiré interferometry has been recognized as a promising technique for 3-D automated inspection, it has not been widely used because designing a moiré interferometer for a given inspection task can be difficult. Here mathematical models of the projection moiré process are developed which permit the design of inspection systems. The resulting equations have been combined with numerical opti...

bus systems are unstable without considering any control. thus, we are able to consider some control strategies to alleviate this problem. a holding control strategy is one commonly used real-time control strategy that can improve service quality. this paper develops a mathematical model for a holding control strategy. the objective of this model is to minimize the total cost related to passeng...

Discrete convex analysis, which is a unified framework of discrete optimization, is being recognized as a basic tool for mathematical economics. This paper surveys the recent progress in applications of discrete convex analysis to mathematical economics.

the power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. this paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (pv)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in rafsanjan, iran. for this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

Recently a general mathematical framework has been developed [3] for studying mathematical programming problems described by means of increasing functions, or more generally, differences of increasing functions. It has been shown in [3] that any mathematical programming problem of this class can be reduced to an equivalent problem of the following form, called canonical monotonic optimization p...
