Firstly, the nonlinear behavior of the components results in a nonconvex cost function, complicating the use of optimization methods.
To increase the efficiency of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants, the use of optimization methods is a current topic of research.
Furthermore, the use of optimization methods in this complex decision setting is demonstrated based on newly developed software prototypes and plug-ins.
This paper introduces some of these issues from the point of view of the research group at Sheffield University and concentrates on linear systems and the potential for the use of optimization methods to achieve effective control.
A key accomplishment of this paper is the decoupling of the analysis problem and the optimization problems using response surface methods, which should encourage the use of optimization methods by the helicopter industry.
This paper introduces some of these issues from the point of view of the research group at Sheffield University and, for simplicity of presentation, concentrates on the case of linear systems and the potential for the use of optimization methods to achieve effective control.
The second group of algorithms built the tree in a greedy manner first and improve the tree structure later by the use of optimization methods, e.g. evolutionary algorithms [ 20], Bayesian CART [ 21, 22], simulated annealing [ 23] and tabu search [ 24].
