This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous abordons dans cette thèse deux types de problèmes d'ordonnancement sur une machine ou sur des machines parallèles : 1. les problèmes d'ordonnancement de type juste-à-temps : il s'agit de déterminer un ordonnancement de sorte que les travaux se terminent le plus près possible de leur date de fin souhaitée. On considère le cas où la date de fin souhaitée commune est connue et le cas où elle est à déterminer. De nouveaux algorithmes exacts sont proposés. Des schémas d'approximation sont élaborés. 2. les problèmes d'ordonnancements de travaux interférants : il s'agit de déterminer un ordonnancement qui permet d'optimiser un critère pour tous les travaux, sachant que la solution trouvée doit permettre également l'optimisation d'un autre critère défini uniquement sur un sous-ensemble des travaux. Il s'agit ici d'un nouveau problème d'ordonnancement multicritère, différent de la notion classique. Les approches considérées pour trouver une solution non dominée sont l'approche e-contrainte, la combinaison linéaire de critères et le goal programming. De nouveaux résultats de complexité sont montrés et des algorithmes exacts sont développés.

Download or read book Semiparametric Theory and Missing Data written by Anastasios Tsiatis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes current knowledge regarding the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, in an organized and comprehensive manner. It starts with the study of semiparametric methods when there are no missing data. The description of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models is both rigorous and intuitive, relying on geometric ideas to reinforce the intuition and understanding of the theory. These methods are then applied to problems with missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents refereed and revised papers presented at GREC 2001, the 4th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition, which took place in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in September 2001. Graphics recognition is a branch of document image analysis that focuses on the recognition of two-dimensional notations such as engineering drawings, maps, mathematical notation, music notation, tables, and chemical structure diagrams. Due to the growing demand for both o?-line and on-line document recognition systems, the ?eld of graphics recognition has an excitingand promisingfuture. The GREC workshops provide an opportunity for researchers at all levels of experience to share insights into graphics recognition methods. The workshops enjoy strongparticipation from researchers in both industry and academia. They are sponsored by IAPR TC-10, the Technical Committee on Graphics Recog- tion within the International Association for Pattern Recognition. Edited v- umes from the previous three workshops in this series are available as Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vols. 1072, 1389, and 1941. After the GREC 2001 workshop, authors were invited to submit enhanced versions of their papers for review. Every paper was evaluated by three reviewers. We are grateful to both authors and reviewers for their careful work during this review process. Many of the papers that appear in this volume were thoroughly revised and improved, in response to reviewers’ suggestions.

Download or read book On line Estimation and Adaptive Control of Bioreactors written by G. Bastin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with monitoring and control of biotechnological processes. Different methods are proposed which are based on the nonlinear structure of the process and do not require any a priori knowledge of the fermentation parameters. The theoretical stability and convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are analysed and their performances are illustrated by simulation results and, in many instances, by real life experiments. The concept of software sensors is introduced; these are algorithms based on the nonlinear model of the process and designed for on-line estimation of the biological variables and/or the fermentation parameters. In order to deal with process nonstationarities and parameter uncertainties, reference is made to adaptive estimation and control techniques.The book is the result of an intensive joint research effort by the authors during the last decade. It is intended as a graduate level text for students of bioengineering as well as a reference text for scientists and engineers involved in the design and optimization of bioprocesses.
Download or read book Semigroups for Delay Equations written by András Bátkai and published by A K Peters, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most physical, chemical, biological and economic phenomena it is quite natural to assume that the system not only depends on the present state but also on past occurrences. These circumstances are mathematically described by partial differential equations with delay. This book presents, in a systematic fashion, how delay equations can be studied in Lp-history spaces.Appendices offering supplementary information and a comprehensive index make this book an ideal introduction and research tool for mathematicians, chemists, biologists and economists.

Download or read book Geometric Control Theory written by Velimir Jurdjevic and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometric control theory is concerned with the evolution of systems subject to physical laws but having some degree of freedom through which motion is to be controlled. This book describes the mathematical theory inspired by the irreversible nature of time evolving events. The first part of the book deals with the issue of being able to steer the system from any point of departure to any desired destination. The second part deals with optimal control, the question of finding the best possible course. An overlap with mathematical physics is demonstrated by the Maximum principle, a fundamental principle of optimality arising from geometric control, which is applied to time-evolving systems governed by physics as well as to man-made systems governed by controls. Applications are drawn from geometry, mechanics, and control of dynamical systems. The geometric language in which the results are expressed allows clear visual interpretations and makes the book accessible to physicists and engineers as well as to mathematicians.
