Abstract:

Aerodynamic shape optimisation amalgamates three, often independent, modules; a shape control system, a flow solver and an optimisation algorithm. The cornerstone is the shape control system, which governs the mapping between the real, continuous aerodynamic shape to the discretised surface that is used within the computational domain, using a set of design variables. The overall objectives of this work are to have efficient optimisation and design space exploration. Hence the focus of this work is first, shape control, and second, the optimisation algorithm. First, a novel shape control syste

Abstract:

Many problems in the real world are multi-objective by nature, this means that many times there is the need to satisfy a problem with more than one goal in mind. These type of problems have been studied by economists, mathematicians, between many more, and recently computer scientists. Computer scientists have been developing novel methods to solve this type of problems with the help of evolutionary computation. Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a relatively new heuristic that shares some similarities with evolutionary computation techniques, and that recently has been successfully modified

Automotive engines are becoming increasingly technically complex and associated legal emissions standards more restrictive, making the task of identifying optimum actuator settings to use significantly more difficult. Given these challenges, this research aims to develop a process for engine calibration optimisation by exploiting advanced mathematical methods. Validation of this work is based upon a case study describing a steady-state Diesel engine calibration problem. The calibration optimisation problem seeks an optimal combination of actuator settings that minimises fuel consumption, while

<p>This Master's Thesis is built around the concept of fleet management, focusing on designing and implementing a solution for such a purpose. As a target domain for this proposed system snow clearing has been chosen, and it is presented as background for the system realisation. An important feature in a fleet management system is route optimisation. Estimations based on real-world data can be used to construct more effective routes. This optimisation process is not straightforward though, as it belongs in a domain called Vehicle Routing Problems. These problems effectively becomes unsolvable

Abstract:

In this thesis we consider three different problems in the domain of portfolio optimisation. The first problem we consider is that of selecting an Absolute Return Portfolio (ARP). ARPs are usually seen as financial portfolios that aim to produce a good return regardless of how the underlying market performs, but our literature review shows that there is little agreement on what constitutes an ARP. We present a clear definition via a three-stage mixed-integer zero-one program for the problem of selecting an ARP. The second problem considered is that of designing a Market Neutral Portfolio (MNP)

The definition of a mineral resource during exploration is a fundamental part of lease evaluation, which establishes the fair market value of the entire asset being explored in the open market. Since exact prediction of grades between sampled points is not currently possible by conventional methods, an exact agreement between predicted and actual grades will nearly always contain some error. These errors affect the evaluation of resources so impacting on characterisation of risks, financial projections and decisions about whether it is necessary to carry on with the further phases or not.

Abstract:

In this thesis we are concerned with optimisation over the non-dominated set of a multiobjective optimisation problem. A multi-objective optimisation problem (MOP) involves multiple conflicting objective functions. The non-dominated set of this problem is of interest because it is composed of the “best” trade-off for a decision maker to choose according to his preference. We assume that this selection process can be modelled by maximising a function over the non-dominated set. We present two new algorithms for the optimisation of a linear function over the non-dominated set of a multi-objectiv

Most optimisation problems in everyday life are not static in nature, have multiple objectives and at least two of the objectives are in conflict with one another. However, most research focusses on either static multi-objective optimisation (MOO) or dynamic singleobjective optimisation (DSOO). Furthermore, most research on dynamic multi-objective optimisation (DMOO) focusses on evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and only a few particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithms exist.

It is therefore important to produce what the customers ask for. This thesis is about a computer system based on online optimisation which helps the meat cutters decide what to make.

Abstract:

Modern automobiles are painted with basecoat, technology which is either metallic, solid colour or pearlescent. This requires protection from chemicals, scratching, weathering and UV light by applying a protective top coat (clearcoat) over the basecoat. For the clearcoat to cure into a hard protective shell it undergoes an irreversible crosslinking process. This usually takes place over the first four to five hours, depending on the formulation and weather conditions. The speed of crosslinking can be enhanced by temperature.

These developments have been led by recent research studies that show that decomposition-based algorithms have very good convergence properties compared to Pareto-based algorithms. Decomposition-bas

Out of many ways of arranging SUs, a human designer may consider only a handful of alternatives due to resource limitations (e.g. time and effort). To facilitate this task, decision support for SLP design can be obtained using computer technology. Despite being highly combinatorial, many attempts have been made to automa

Improving the reliability reduces the likelihood of system failure. The consequences of system failure can vary from minor inconvenience and cost to significant economic loss and personal injury.

Abstract:

Nous avons effectué cette thèse dans un contexte de transmission numérique DMT-VDSL. Trois sujets ont été traités dans ce cadre ; la transformée de Fourier rapide (FFT), la réduction des interférences VDSL sur les bandes HAMet l'entrelacement convolutionnel. Nous avons proposé une implémentation originale, la FFT flux continu mode mixte (CFMM-FFT), qui optimise la mémoire de traitement de la FFTen la réduisant de trois fois la taille de l'entrée à seulement deux fois. La CFMM-FFT est paramétrable et sans complexité particulière et elle sera exploitée par Texas Instruments dans ses modems DMT-V

Abstract:

In the literature, various Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) routing protocols proposed. Each performs the best under specific context conditions, for example under high mobility or less volatile topologies. In existing MANET, the degradation in the routing protocol performance is always associated with changes in the network context. To date, no MANET routing protocol is able to produce optimal performance under all possible conditions. The core aim of this thesis is to solve the routing problem in mobile Ad hoc networks by introducing an optimum system that is in charge of the selection of the r

Abstract:

This thesis presents research within empirical financial economics with focus on liquidity and portfolio optimisation in the stock market. The discussion on liquidity is focused on measurement issues, including TAQ data processing and measurement of systematic liquidity factors (FSO). Furthermore, a framework for treatment of the two topics in combination is provided. The liquidity part of the thesis gives a conceptual background to liquidity and discusses several different approaches to liquidity measurement. It contributes to liquidity measurement by providing detailed guidelines on the data

Abstract:

In production planning for strong seasonal demand products, it is uneconomical to configure the supply chain for throughputs equivalent to the demand peaks. Instead, a holistic approach to supply chain optimisation is adopted where forward demand forecasts drive the production planning process. In this thesis, the medium-term supply chain planning components of forecasting, production planning and evaluation are addressed through studies on a paints production facility. With a large number of specialised products, family-level forecasting is adopted for its simplicity and practicality in apply
