This paper presents the principle of bushing shield size, position and its covering material determination, based on the optimization algorithm. An optimization procedure has been carried out using a differential evolution (DE) algorithm combined with a solver of the software tool EleFAnT, which is used for solving computationally expensive parametrically-written bushing FEM model. The goal of this research is to accelerate the optimization process, respectively to reduce the computational cost by introducing the Kriging metamodeling.

Let G = (V, E) be a directed graph with positive edge weights, let s; t be two specified vertices in this graph, and let π(s, t) be the shortest path between them. In the replacement paths problem we want to compute, for every edge e on π(s, t), the shortest path from s to t that avoids e. The naive solution to this problem would be to remove each edge e, one at a time, and compute the shortest s - t path each time; this yields a running time of O(mn + n~2 log n). Gotthilf and Lewenstein recently improved this to O(mn+n~2 log log n), but no o(mn) algorithms are known.

Today's low cost hardware developments allow for a parallelization of intensive computation processes over several selectable CPU cores by using Intel's OpenMP library. But if one applies this feature to a numerical simulation based on a boundary element method (BEM), there is still a huge bottle neck - the shared memory of such a system. So, if a low cost hardware should be effectively used for large BEM problems, a memory compression algorithm that is easily to be scheduled in parallel is of first choice. Within our new idea and development of the Hierarchical Block Wavelet Compression (HWC) which is based on IEEE's JPEG2000 standard for image compression, this bottle neck will be tackled in pure mathematically manners. Furthermore, its parallelization will be discussed and an optimal compression rate for a 3-D electrostatic BEM problem by a rather simple optimization algorithm will be presented.

As cloud computing grows rapidly and virtualization techniques become more widely-used, it is critical and important to allocate limited resources to various applications on demand for the cloud service environments. In this article, we propose an adaptive resource management approach considering multi-resource transformation to fully utilize extra resource capacity. The definition of the optimization problem concerning resource co-allocation is presented and then an optimization algorithm is developed and described, which carries out stochastic and directional search step by step to jointly schedule different resources. The evaluation results of simulation experiments demonstrate that by using the resource co-allocation approach we designed, the performance of different applications deployed in the cloud environment could be guaranteed subject to the QoS (Quality of Service) specification, despite of the significant fluctuation of workloads.

Discrete mechanics and optimal control (DMOC) is a recent development in optimal control of mechanical systems that takes advantage of the variational structure of mechanics when discretizing the optimal control problem. Typically, the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations are used as constraints on the feasible set of solutions, and then the objective function is minimized using a constrained optimization algorithm, such as sequential quadratic programming (SQP). In contrast, this paper illustrates that by reducing dimensionality by projecting onto the feasible subspace and then performing optimization, one can obtain significant improvements in convergence, going from superlinear to quadratic convergence. Moreover, whereas numerical SQP can run into machine precision problems before terminating, the projection-based technique converges easily. Double and single pendulum examples are used to illustrate the technique.

The REMOS (REverberation MOdeling for Speech recognition) concept for reverberation-robust distant-talking speech recognition, introduced in [1] for melspectral features, is extended in this contribution to logarithmic melspectral (logmelspec) features. Based on a combined acoustic model consisting of a hidden Markov model network and a reverberation model, REMOS determines clean-speech and reverberation estimates during recognition by an inner optimization operation. A reformulation of this inner optimization problem for logmelspec features, allowing an efficient solution by nonlinear optimization algorithms, is derived in this paper so that an efficient implementation of REMOS for logmelspec features becomes possible. Connected digit recognition experiments show that the proposed REMOS implementation significantly outperforms reverberantly-trained HMMs in highly reverberant environments.

Automatic Differentiation (AD) is introduced as a powerful technique to compute derivatives of functions given in the form of computer programs in high level programming languages such FORTRAN, C or C++. The paper applies AD to compute error-free gradients of sizing models describing electromagnetic devices. Then, the obtained gradients are exploited by optimization algorithms. The goal is to find the device geometry that minimizes an objective function by respecting some additional constrained parameters and performances. When algorithms are used for model formulation, evaluating their derivatives becomes a complicated task. The paper proposes a model of a linear actuator dealing with implicit equations solved by numerical methods.

This paper presents a new global optimization algorithm for mixed-integer-discrete-continuous variables. In the algorithm, an augmented objective function is constructed by introducing a penalty function to treat both the integer and discrete variables as continuous ones. Particles swarm optimization (PSO) is, then, applied to the augmented objective function to find a global optimal point.

This brief presents a symbolic approach for the optimal design of low noise amplifiers through the scattering parameters. An optimization algorithm, which is also proposed in this paper, generates the optimal values of all the design parameters that meet imposed specifications on the scattering parameters. ADS simulations, using 0.35u.m CMOS technology, are presented to show the good agreement between theoretical and simulation results.

The loss of treatment plan quality after segmentation following fluence optimization is a problem in IMRT. In a previous publication we showed that re-optimization helps to re-establish part of the plan quality. Recently the so-called direct aperture optimization method has been introduced to successfully overcome that difficulty. The aim of the present paper is to present in detail the integration of the inverse kernel method into direct aperture optimization. It can be shown that this integration leads to a system with high performance with regard to time, while Monte Carlo precision is maintained. The integrated simulated annealing optimization algorithm allows easy adaptation to any multi-leaf collimator and it is open to any complex objective function. Investigations of simulated annealing control parameters are performed to improve the performance. The system denoted by direct Monte Carlo optimization (DMCO) is demonstrated on the Carpet phantom and a clinical prostate case as well. Results are compared to inverse kernel optimizations, showing a remarkable time reduction and simultaneously an improvement in plan quality for the Carpet phantom.
