Bi-Level Integrated System Synthesis (BLISS) is an approach that allows design problems to be naturally decomposed into a set of subsystem optimizations and a single system optimization. In the BLISS approach, approximate mathematical models are used to transfer information from the subsystem optimizations to the system optimization. Accurate approximation models are therefore critical to the s...

In this paper we propose an algorithm for the bi-level optimal input design involving a parameter-dependent evolution problem. inner cycle control is fixed and parameter optimized in order to minimize cost function that measure discrepancy from some data. outer found now suitable of uncertainty parameters. The uses trust-region reduced basis approximation model with creation enrichment on-the-f...

This paper presents a new bi-level multi-objective model to valorize the microgrid (MG) flexibility based on flexible power management system. It considers presence of renewable and resources including demand response program (DRP), energy storage system integrated unit electric spring with vehicles (EVs) parking (IUEE). The proposed in upper-level maximizes expected profit subject constraints....

This paper develops a decentralized leader-follower game for network design of a competitive supply chain problem in which a new chain as the leader enters a market with one existing supply chain as a follower. Both chains produce an identical product, customer demand is inelastic and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity-based model. The leader wants to shape his network and set a...

the most important issues that should be considered in studying disaster management include temporary settlement of injured population, supplying relief commodities, designing an appropriate communication infrastructure for communication during disaster. for this purpose, in this paper a model has been proposed for locating shelters, warehouses of relief commodities, and also telecom towers, wh...

this paper investigates the relationship between inflation and growth uncertainty in iran for the period of 1988-2008 by using quarterly data. we employ generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity in mean (garch-m) model to estimate time-varying conditional residual variance of growth, as a standard measures of growth uncertainty. the empirical evidence shows that growth uncertain...

detention rockfill dams are an easy and common tool for flood control. due to their coarse pores, the flow in void spaces is turbulent and non-darcy. different relationships introduced by researchers are used to define the hydraulics of the flow within the rockfill materials. the present research is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the differ-ence among these relationships and the sou...
