The model predictive control problem of linear systems with integer inputs results in an integer optimization problem. In case of a quadratic objective function, the optimization problem can be cast as an integer least-squares (ILS) problem. Three algorithms to solve this problem are proposed in this paper. Optimality can be traded in to reduce the computation time. An industrial case study - an inverterdriven electrical drive system - is considered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented techniques.

To solve dynamic multi-optimization problems, optimization algorithms are required to converge quickly in response to changes in the environment without reducing the diversity of the found solutions. Most Multi-Objective Evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are designed to solve static multi-objective optimization problems where the environment does not change dynamically. For that reason, the requirement for convergence in static optimization problems is not as time-critical as for dynamic optimization problems. Most MOEAs use generic variables and operators that scale to static multi-objective optimization problems. Problems emerge when the algorithms can not converge fast enough, due to scalability issues introduced by using too generic operators. This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm CONTROLEUM-GA that uses domain specific variables and operators to solve a real dynamic greenhouse climate control problem. The domain specific operators only encode existing knowledge about the environment. A comprehensive comparative study is provided to evaluate the results of applying the CONTROLEUM-GA compared to NSGAII, ε-NSGAII and ε-MOEA. Experimental results demonstrate clear improvements in convergence time without compromising the quality of the found solutions compared to other state-of-art algorithms.

The monitoring of trees and vegetation near high voltage transmission power lines is a tedious job for electrical companies. There are many blackouts occur due to interfering the trees with the power transmission lines in hilly as well as urban areas. This is a big challenge for power distribution companies to monitor the vegetation for avoiding the blackouts and flashovers. To solve these problems, there are many methods are used to monitor the trees and vegetation near transmission power poles. But the existing methods are expensive and time consuming. We proposed the new method based on satellite images to monitor the trees and vegetation. The satellite images provide the cost effective solution to solve the monitoring problem. In this paper, we proposed the stereo matching algorithms to measure the disparity map based on satellite stereo imagery. The height estimation of trees and vegetation near power poles based on depth map which is inversely proportional of the disparity map. For measuring the depth map, the dynamic programming (DP) and block matching with energy minimization has been proposed. These techniques are applied on the satellite stereo images and based on results, our proposed DP algorithm produced more accurate disparity map as compared to the block matching algorithm.

We propose certain discrete parameter variants of well known simulation optimization algorithms. Two of these algorithms are based on the smoothed functional (SF) technique while two others are based on the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method. They differ from each other in the way perturbations are obtained and also the manner in which projections and parameter updates are performed. All our algorithms use two simulations and two-timescale stochastic approximation. As an application setting, we consider the important problem of admission control of packets in communication networks under dependent service times. We consider a discrete time slotted queueing model of the system and consider two different scenarios - one where the service times have a dependence on the system state and the other where they depend on the number of arrivals in a time slot. Under our settings, the simulated objective function appears ill-behaved with multiple local minima and a unique global minimum characterized by a sharp dip in the objective function in a small region of the parameter space. We compare the performance of our algorithms on these settings and observe that the two SF algorithms show the best results overall. In fact, in many cases studied, SF algorithms converge to the global minimum.
