We study a decentralized solar energy network composed of multiple clusters, which correspond to households equipped with PV units, rechargeable batteries, electrical appliances, and an electric power router. Decentralized solar energy network is a new grid systems toward independence from existing power grid, and solar energy is main energy source for the decentralized energy network. Each cluster has a battery storage to use the renewable energy effectively, where battery degradation cannot be overlooked for long-term, persistent operation. this paper proposes an optimal power distribution minimizing the battery degradation on decentralized energy network. Because the battery degradation is unavoidable phenomenon for the battery utilization, we solve the optimal power distribution to keep the degradation minimum. the proposed approach limits the charge/discharge speeds and cycles at mixed integer programming formulation and achieves the optimal utilization of the renewable energy with less charge/discharge cycles. Experimental results using the real measured data of the power generation and consumption show the connection between the parameters for the battery degradation and the system performance.

this paper focuses on a competitive facility location problem between leader and follower on a network with demands whose weights are given uncertainly and vaguely. By representing them as fuzzy random variables, the optimal location problem can be formulated as a fuzzy random programming problem for finding Stackelberg equilibrium. For solving the problem, it is reformulated as the problem to find the optimal solutions maximizing a degree of necessity under some chance constraint for the leader. theorems for its complexity are shown based upon the characteristics of the facility location.

In this paper, we formulate a resource allocation optimization problem for a cooperative relay-assisted cognitive radio system, comprising a single source node, multiple relays and multiple destinations. Our formulation takes into account the effects of the resource allocation on CO 2 emission, and we refer to it as a green resource allocation problem. the green resource allocation problem is formulated as a non-linear multi-objective optimization problem. We modify the objective function by applying the weighted sum method, which results in a non-convex mixed integer non-linear programming problem. We propose a hybrid evolutionary scheme that utilizes an enhanced version of Estimation of Distributions Algorithm to solve this optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of our evolutionary algorithm approach in comparison to other schemes such as GA and EDA.

the performance of Nearest Neighbor (NN) classifier is highly dependent on the distance function used to find the NN of an input test pattern. Many of the proposed algorithms try to optimize the accuracy of the NN rule using a weighted distance function. Here, in the proposed method the distance function is defined in a parametric form to incorporate the local relevancy of the features in the decision boundary of the prototype. the local weight of each feature is determined according to the amount of information it provides about discrimination of different classes for each prototype. In this method a novel learning algorithm tunes the weight vector of the prototypes. the learning method uses an entropy based objective function that is optimized by a gradient-descent technique. A new entropy measure is proposed in which the decision boundary of a prototype is a fuzzy region. We show that our scheme has comparable or better performance than some recent methods proposed in the literature.

Metabolites can serve as biomarkers and their identification has significant importance in the study of biochemical reaction and signalling networks. Incorporating metabolic and gene expression data to reveal biochemical networks is a considerable challenge, which attracts a lot of attention in recent research. In this paper, we propose a promising approach to identify metabolic biomarkers through integrating available biomedical data and disease-specific gene expression data. A Linear programming (LP) based method is then utilized to determine flux variability intervals, therefore enabling the analysis of significant metabolic reactions. A statistical approach is also presented to uncover these metabolites. the identified metabolites are then verified by comparing withthe results in the existing literature. the proposed approach here can also be applied to the discovery of potential novel biomarkers.
