The Statistical Filter Approach to Constrained Optimization

Estimating the Parameters in Photovoltaic Modules: A Constrained Optimization Approach

This paper presents a novel identification technique for estimation of unknown parameters in photovoltaic (PV) systems. A single diode model is considered for the PV system, which consists of five unknown parameters. Using information of standard test condition (STC), three unknown parameters are written as functions of the other two parameters in a reduced model. An objective function and ...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Constrained Evolutionary Optimization - the penalty function approach

A statistical approach to classify Skype traffic

Abstract- Skype is one of the most powerful and high-quality chat tools that allows its users to use of many services such as: transferring audio, sending messages, video conferencing and audio for free. Skype traffic has a lot of Internet traffic. Hence, Internet service providers need to identify traffic to do the quality of service and network management. On the other hand, Skype developers ...

Filter Pattern Search Algorithms for Mixed Variable Constrained Optimization Problems

A new class of algorithms for solving nonlinearly constrained mixed variable optimization problems is presented. This class combines and extends the Audet-Dennis Generalized Pattern Search (GPS) algorithms for bound constrained mixed variable optimization, and their GPS-filter algorithms for general nonlinear constraints. In generalizing existing algorithms, new theoretical convergence results ...
