Book Optimization and Dynamical Systems

Download or read book Optimization and Dynamical Systems written by Uwe Helmke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is aimed at mathematics and engineering graduate students and researchers in the areas of optimization, dynamical systems, control sys tems, signal processing, and linear algebra. The motivation for the results developed here arises from advanced engineering applications and the emer gence of highly parallel computing machines for tackling such applications. The problems solved are those of linear algebra and linear systems the ory, and include such topics as diagonalizing a symmetric matrix, singular value decomposition, balanced realizations, linear programming, sensitivity minimization, and eigenvalue assignment by feedback control. The tools are those, not only of linear algebra and systems theory, but also of differential geometry. The problems are solved via dynamical sys tems implementation, either in continuous time or discrete time , which is ideally suited to distributed parallel processing. The problems tackled are indirectly or directly concerned with dynamical systems themselves, so there is feedback in that dynamical systems are used to understand and optimize dynamical systems. One key to the new research results has been the recent discovery of rather deep existence and uniqueness results for the solution of certain matrix least squares optimization problems in geomet ric invariant theory. These problems, as well as many other optimization problems arising in linear algebra and systems theory, do not always admit solutions which can be found by algebraic methods.

Book Optimal Control and Forecasting of Complex Dynamical Systems

Download or read book Optimal Control and Forecasting of Complex Dynamical Systems written by Ilya Grigorenko and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2006 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book reviews applications of optimization and optimal control theory to modern problems in physics, nano-science and finance. The theory presented here can be efficiently applied to various problems, such as the determination of the optimal shape of a laser pulse to induce certain excitations in quantum systems, the optimal design of nanostructured materials and devices, or the control of chaotic systems and minimization of the forecast error for a given forecasting model (for example, artificial neural networks). Starting from a brief review of the history of variational calculus, the book discusses optimal control theory and global optimization using modern numerical techniques. Key elements of chaos theory and basics of fractional derivatives, which are useful in control and forecast of complex dynamical systems, are presented. The coverage includes several interdisciplinary problems to demonstrate the efficiency of the presented algorithms, and different methods of forecasting complex dynamics are discussed.

Book Optimization and Control of Dynamic Systems

Download or read book Optimization and Control of Dynamic Systems written by Henryk Górecki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive presentation of optimization and polyoptimization methods. The examples included are taken from various domains: mechanics, electrical engineering, economy, informatics, and automatic control, making the book especially attractive. With the motto “from general abstraction to practical examples,” it presents the theory and applications of optimization step by step, from the function of one variable and functions of many variables with constraints, to infinite dimensional problems (calculus of variations), a continuation of which are optimization methods of dynamical systems, that is, dynamic programming and the maximum principle, and finishing with polyoptimization methods. It includes numerous practical examples, e.g., optimization of hierarchical systems, optimization of time-delay systems, rocket stabilization modeled by balancing a stick on a finger, a simplified version of the journey to the moon, optimization of hybrid systems and of the electrical long transmission line, analytical determination of extremal errors in dynamical systems of the rth order, multicriteria optimization with safety margins (the skeleton method), and ending with a dynamic model of bicycle. The book is aimed at readers who wish to study modern optimization methods, from problem formulation and proofs to practical applications illustrated by inspiring concrete examples.

Book A Geometric Approach to Dynamical System

Download or read book A Geometric Approach to Dynamical System written by Ji Xu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sharp analyses in this paper enable us to compare the performance of our method with other phase recovery schemes. Finally, the convergence analysis of the iterative algorithms are done by a geometric approach to dynamical systems. By analyzing the movements from iteration to iteration, we provide a general tool that can show global convergence for many two dimensional dynamical systems. We hope this can shed light on convergence analysis for general dynamical systems.

Book Frontiers in Global Optimization

Download or read book Frontiers in Global Optimization written by Christodoulos A. Floudas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Optimization has emerged as one of the most exciting new areas of mathematical programming. Global optimization has received a wide attraction from many fields in the past few years, due to the success of new algorithms for addressing previously intractable problems from diverse areas such as computational chemistry and biology, biomedicine, structural optimization, computer sciences, operations research, economics, and engineering design and control. This book contains refereed invited papers submitted at the 4th international confer ence on Frontiers in Global Optimization held at Santorini, Greece during June 8-12, 2003. Santorini is one of the few sites of Greece, with wild beauty created by the explosion of a volcano which is in the middle of the gulf of the island. The mystic landscape with its numerous mult-extrema, was an inspiring location particularly for researchers working on global optimization. The three previous conferences on "Recent Advances in Global Opti mization", "State-of-the-Art in Global Optimization", and "Optimization in Computational Chemistry and Molecular Biology: Local and Global approaches" took place at Princeton University in 1991, 1995, and 1999, respectively. The papers in this volume focus on de terministic methods for global optimization, stochastic methods for global optimization, distributed computing methods in global optimization, and applications of global optimiza tion in several branches of applied science and engineering, computer science, computational chemistry, structural biology, and bio-informatics.

Download or read book Dynamical Search written by Luc Pronzato and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-08-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain algorithms that are known to converge can be renormalized or "blown up" at each iteration so that their local behavior can be seen. This creates dynamical systems that we can study with modern tools, such as ergodic theory, chaos, special attractors, and Lyapounov exponents. Furthermore, we can translate the rates of convergence into less studied exponents known as Renyi entropies. This all feeds back to suggest new algorithms with faster rates of convergence. For example, in line-search, we can improve upon the Golden Section algorithm with new classes of algorithms that have their own special-and sometimes chaotic-dynamical systems. The ellipsoidal algorithms of linear and convex programming have fast, "deep cut" versions whose dynamical systems contain cyclic attractors. And ordinary steepest descent has, buried within, a beautiful fractal that controls the gateway to a special two-point attractor. Faster "relaxed" versions exhibit classical period doubling. Dynamical Search presents a stimulating introduction to a brand new field - the union of dynamical systems and optimization. It will prove fascinating and open doors to new areas of investigation for researchers in both fields, plus those in statistics and computer science.
