Energy harvesters with wide frequency range, long lifetime, and high output power are preferred to serve as power supplies for wireless devices. Motivated to guide the design of a robust energy harvesting platform, an analytical model based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory for a laminated beam is first presented to predict the nonlinear response of the system when subjected to harmonic base acceleration and tunable magnetic forces. Following experimental validation, a multi-objective optimization based on a genetic algorithm considers how to improve the frequency range of highperformance, decrease peak strain level, and maximize output power by manipulating the design of the nonlinear energy harvester. The optimization results indicate that a slightly monostable configuration is superior when taking all three aspects into consideration.

Network on Chip (NoC) has become a promising solution for the communication paradigm of the next-generation multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC). As communication has become an integral part of on-chip computing, researchers are paying more attention to its implementation and optimization. Traditional techniques that model inter-processor communication inaccurately will lead to unexpected runtime performance, which is on average 90.8% worse than the predicted results based on an observation. In this paper, we present an application mapping and scheduling technique for NoC-based MPSoCs that integrates fine-grain optimization on inter-processor communications with the objective of minimizing the schedule length. A communication model is proposed to address properly the latency of inter-processor communication with network contention. performance evaluation results show that solutions obtained by the proposed technique can generate realistic performance that is on average 34.7% higher than traditional techniques, and the Integer-Linear Programming (ILP) based approach can outperform the state-of-the-art heuristic algorithms by 31.1%. A case study on H.264 HDTV decoder shows that our approach achieves 22.8% improvement in prediction accuracy, 20.9% improvement in performance and 40% reduction in the number of network contentions.

Optimal power flow (OPF) is a large scale nonlinear non-convex optimization problem. In the last decades many algorithms are developed to solve these problems and the interior point method (IPM) is a popular one. The primal-dual IPMs and their later developments have attracted much research interest. Impressed by the improvements in convergent performance of the further developed multiple centrality corrections IPM in linear programming (LP), this paper extended it to nonlinear programming and made certain modifications to make it adaptable to the nonlinear OPF. Test results on several cases ranging from 9-bus to 2796-bus system indicate the efficiency and high convergence of the proposed algorithm, which outperforms the original multiple centrality corrections IPM. Comparisons between the proposed method and other forms of interior point methods are also given to show its advantage in convergent performance.

In this paper, we consider a large-scale global optimization problem, which takes place in distribution of large number of products into individual orders. In general, the amount of each product is limited and the packaging is constrained, which means that the initial problems can be reduced to constrained nonlinearoptimization problem. The high dimensionality and complexity of this problem leads to developing of the specific problem-oriented optimization tool. Two different approaches of solving this problem were considered. The first one is based on the reduction of the initial problem to the discrete optimization problem with dimension is equal to the product of orders number and number of products. The second approach is based on the decomposition of the initial problem into two related problems: combinatorial problem of ranking orders and combinatorial/discrete optimization problem of optimal distributing. As the main extremum seeking approaches, the evolution based and nature-inspired algorithms were used and modified for efficiently solving the considered problem. We also propose the set of particular problems: different combinations of orders and products, which were used for the algorithms' parameters tuning. In addition, the proposed reduction approaches and related algorithms were compared in its performance on these particular problems.

In this paper, a novel Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model identification based on a new fuzzy c-regression model clustering algorithm and particle swarm optimization is presented. The main motivation for this work is to develop an identification procedure for nonlinear systems taking into account the noise. In addition, a new distance is used in the objective function of the FCRM algorithm, replacing the one used in this type of algorithm. Thereafter, particle swarm optimization is employed to fine tune parameters of the obtained fuzzy model. The performance of the proposed approach is validated by studying the nonlinear plant modeling problem.

We present and explore the behaviour of a branch-and-bound algorithm for calculating valid bounds on the kth largest eigenvalue of a symmetric interval matrix. Branching on the interval elements of the matrix takes place in conjunction with the application of Rohn's method (an interval extension of Weyl's theorem) in order to obtain valid outer bounds on the eigenvalues. Inner bounds are obtained with the use of two local search methods. The algorithm has the theoretical property that it provides bounds to any arbitrary precision (assuming infinite precision arithmetic) within finite time. In contrast with existing methods, bounds for each individual eigenvalue can be obtained even if its range overlaps with the ranges of other eigenvalues. performance analysis is carried out through nine examples. In the first example, a comparison of the efficiency of the two local search methods is reported using 4000 randomly generated matrices. The eigenvalue bounding algorithm is then applied to five randomly generated matrices with overlapping eigenvalue ranges. Valid and sharp bounds are indeed identified given a sufficient number of iterations. Furthermore, most of the range reduction takes place in the first few steps of the algorithm so that significant benefits can be derived without full convergence. Finally, in the last three examples, the potential of the algorithm for use in algorithms to identify index-1 saddle points of nonlinear functions is demonstrated.
The traditional particle swarm algorithm in solving the optimal value of high-dimensional nonlinear problems will fall into the local optimal value and converge prematurely, and the optimization effect is not good, ba...

nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) has grown mature and algorithmic techniques exist, e.g., based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods, to handle relatively complex constrained control systems. In addition, model predictive control for hybrid dynamical systems, including both continuous and discrete decision variables, can be implemented efficiently based on state of the art mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) algorithms. This paper proposes a novel mixed-integer SQP (MISQP) optimization algorithm as a heuristic search technique to find feasible, but possibly suboptimal, solutions for real-time implementations of mixed-integer NMPC (MINMPC). Two variants of the MISQP algorithm are described and motivated. Based on a preliminary software implementation, the real-time MISQP performance is illustrated for closed-loop MINMPC simulations on a nontrivial vehicle control case study, featuring worst-case computation times below 30 milliseconds.
