A concept for the optimization of nonlinear functions using particle swarm methodology is introduced. The evolution of several paradigms is outlined, and an implementation of one of the paradigms is discussed. Benchmark…
In this study, the application of the single input single output (SISO) neural generalized predictive control (NGPC) and SISO generalized predictive control (GPC) of a three joint robotic manipulator are presented. The …
A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs. A scalar measure of the efficiency of each …
