Based on the stress profile and the crack geometry at the damaged location, intervention times and types are determined by solving an optimization problem which simultaneously minimizes the life-cycle cost, maximizes the expected service life, and minimizes the expected maintenance delay over the life-cycle.
This formulation identifies the gas detector layout that minimizes the expected value of an overall damage coefficient (i.e., the minimization of a risk metric) given a set of dispersion scenarios.
Recall that the optimal treatment regime minimizes the expected depression score SUMD measured at week 12.
We observe that the proposed sampling design minimizes the expected sample sizes in different situations.
A direct search technique is applied to find the optimum parameters which minimizes the expected cost function.
This paper considers the problem of finding the set of actions that minimizes the expected (discounted) maintenance costs over both a finite horizon and an infinite horizon.
A methodology is presented to determine the best selection of baggage screening security devices that minimizes the expected annual total cost of a baggage screening strategy.
Our goal then becomes to find an optimal policy that minimizes the expected time required to deliver all the traffic to its respective destinations.
The intrinsically Bayesian robust (IBR KLL compression minimizes the expected MSE over the uncertainty class among all possible m-term KL expansions.
We formulated this problem into an integer nonlinear program to determine the optimal system design that minimizes the expected total cost.
Their model minimizes the expected total cost including maximum tardiness cost among all parts, the cost of sub-contracting for exceptional elements, and the cost of resource underutilization.
