The objective of this work is to formulate and demonstrate the methodology of multi-models for improving the performance of existing advanced control strategies. Multiple models are used to capture the nonlinear process dynamics relating to gain and time constant variations. The multi-model strategy was implemented on several controllers such as Smith-Predictor using PI (Proportional-Integral) ...

Dynamic Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models are not always easy to interpret, in particular when they are identiied from experimental data. Ideally, it is desirable that a dynamic Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model should give accurate global nonlinear prediction, and at the same time that its local models are close approximations to the local linearizations of the nonlinear dynamic system. The latter is importa...

this paper explores the capabilities of multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithmin a simulation-optimization model for solving waste load allocation problems. the main goals are totaltreatment costs, violation of the water quality standards and equity. in this research, the water qualitysimulation model is coupled with a multi-objective optimization model, mopso. in order to derive...

one of the most fundamental components of healthcare system on each country is blood supply chain management. this chain is comprised of two significant components including collecting donor’ bloods and supplying blood’s products. the main purpose of this paper is to concentrate on supplying blood products and present a novel constrained bi-objective mathematical model for a two-echelon blood s...

in this research, we address the application of uncertaintyprogramming to design a multi-site, multi-product, multi-period,closed-loop supply chain (clsc) network. in order to make theresults of this article more realistic, a clsc for a case study inthe iron and steel industry has been explored. the presentedsupply chain covers three objective functions: maximization ofprofit, minimization of n...
