Résumé:Dans cet article, nous formalisons deux critères de décisions qui tentent de rendre compte de deux logiques différentes d'interprétation du Principe de précaution. Le premier critère correspond à la maximisation du minimum de l'espérance d'utilité alors que le second critère correspond à la minimisation du maximum de l'espérance de regret. Les deux critères de décisions sont appliqués à un problème économique où l'incertitude est mesurée par une famille de probabilités. Nous montrons qu'il existe un intervalle de probabilités sur lequel les choix relatifs aux deux critères divergent. Pl

Abstract:

This paper is devoted to the study of the links between stationary sequence and minimising sequence for constrained minimisation problems. The constraint set is not supposed to be convex and no differentiability assumption is made on the objective function. New tools are developed in this general framework and we prove a necessary and a sufficient condition for such problems to have a “constrained asymptotical well behaviour” (that is, each stationary sequence is a minimising sequence). Our work extend that of Auslender, Cominetti and Crouzeix.

AbstractIn this paper, we present sufficient conditions for global optimality of a general nonconvex smooth minimisation model problem involving linear matrix inequality constraints with bounds on the variables. The linear matrix inequality constraints are also known as “semidefinite” constraints which arise in many applications, especially in control system analysis and design. Due to the presence of nonconvex objective functions such minimisation problems generally have many local minimisers which are not global minimisers. We develop conditions for identifying global minimisers of the model

We consider both the minimisation of a class of nonlocal interaction energies over non-negative measures with unit mass and a class of singular integral equations of the first kind of Fredholm type. Our setting covers applications to dislocation pile-ups, contact problems, fracture mechanics and random matrix theory. Our main result shows that both the minimisation problems and the related singular integral equations have the same unique solution, which provides new regularity results on the minimiser of the energy and new positivity results on the solutions to singular integral equations.

We study the minimisation of a cost functional which measures the misfit on the boundary of a domain between a component of the solution to a certain parametric elliptic PDE system and a prediction of the values of this solution.

We utilise approximation by PDE-constrained minimisation problems in Lp as p →∞ and the generalised Kuhn-Tucker theory to derive the relevant variational inequalities in Lp and

The sufficiency of such conditions is proved by means of Hamiltonian methods. As a by-product of the result, we provide an explicit invariant formula for the second variation along the singular arc.

Due to the exponentially large search space, the problem has been referred in several materials-science papers as “NP-Hard and very challenging” without a formal proof.

Abstract We describe an approach for finding upper bounds on an ODE dynamical system’s maximal Lyapunov exponent (LE) among all trajectories in a specified set. A minimisation problem is formulated whose infimum is equal to the maximal LE, provided that trajectories of interest remain in a compact set. The minimisation is over auxiliary functions that are defined on the state space and subject to a pointwise inequality. In the polynomial case—i.e. when the ODE’s right-hand side is polynomial, the set of interest can be specified by polynomial inequalities or equalities, and auxiliary functions

Abstract:

In this paper, an optimisation procedure is introduced that uses a significantly cheaper, and CFD-free, objective function for aerodynamic optimisation than conventional CFD-driven approaches. Despite the reduced computational cost, we show that this approach can still drive the optimisation scheme towards a design with a similar reduction in drag coefficient for wave drag-dominated problems. The approach used is ‘CFD-free’, i.e., it does not require any computational aerodynamic analysis. It can be applied to geometries discretised using meshes more conventionally used for ‘standard’ CFD-base

Abstract:

We study the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) method for solving the highly nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem of identifying the Robin coefficients in elliptic and parabolic systems. The L-M method transforms the Tikhonov regularized nonlinear non-convex minimizations into convex minimizations. And the quadratic convergence of the L-M method is rigorously established for the nonlinear elliptic and parabolic inverse problems for the first time, under a simple novel adaptive strategy for selecting regularization parameters during the L-M iteration. Then the surrogate functional approach is adopte

Abstract:

Domain generalisation (DG) methods address the problem of domain shift, when there is a mismatch between the distributions of training and target domains. Data augmentation approaches have emerged as a promising alternative for DG. However, data augmentation alone is not sufficient to achieve lower generalisation errors. This project proposes a new method that combines data augmentation and domain distance minimisation to address the problems associated with data augmentation and provide a guarantee on the learning performance, under an existing framework. Empirically, our method outperforms b

Abstract:

A circular economy requires closed circuits of consumed resources. Construction generates approximately 50% of solid waste globally, which is difficult to manage. The aim of this article was to identify the factors that determine the development of circular construction in the context of waste minimisation in the life cycle of building structures. The identification of cause-and-effect relationships by means of the DEMATEL method allows the problems of construction waste management to be taken into account in the context of the development of sustainable construction and fulfilling the princip

Abstract:

Determining the method by which a protein thermodynamically folds and unfolds in three-dimension is one of the most complex and least understood problems in modern biochemistry. Misfolded proteins have been recently linked to diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Because of the large number of parameters involved in defining the tertiary structure of proteins, based on free energy global minimisation, we have developed a new Divide and Conquer (DAC) Extended Genetic Algorithm. The approach was applied to explore and verify the energy landscape of protein chy

Abstract:

AbstractThe optimal takeoff performance of a vectored thrust V/Stol aircraft is analysed by a nonlinear programming method based on a sequential unconstrained minimisation technique. The study is focused on ship operations which involve VTO and ski-jump STO launches. Once the optimal ramp geometry is determined, minimum-fuel and minimum-time problems are solved. The optimal control sequences are evaluated and the effects of ship motion and atmospheric winds are discussed. A microburst encounter following an STO launch is also dealt with in terms of aircraft survival.

Abstract:

Water distribution systems (WDSs) contribute to undesirable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are generated through their component fabrication, construction, operation and disposal processes. The concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere is strongly associated with global warming and climate change. In order to meet the consequent challenge of limiting GHG emissions, the problem of WDS redesign is formulated here as a multi-objective optimisation problem. The three objectives are as follows: (1) minimisation of total redesign cost, (2) maximisation of the WDS resilience, and (3) minimisation
