Analysis and Optimization of Nonsmooth Arches
Authors: A. Ignat, J. Sprekels, D. Tiba
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

It is our aim to present a new treatment for some classical models of arches and for their optimization. In particular, our approach allows us to study nonsmooth arches, while the standard assumptions from the literature require $W^{3, \infty}$-regularity for the parametric representation. Moreover, by a duality-type argument, the deformation of the arches may be explicitly expressed by integral formulas. %This also provides a complete solution of the so-calledAs examples for the shape optimization problems under study, we mention the design of the middle curve of a clamped arch such that, under a prescribed load, the obtained deflection satisfies certain desired properties. In all cases, no smoothness is required for the design parameters.
The Jiro Technology: Programmer's Guide and Federated Management Architecture with Cdrom
Authors: Paul Monday, William Connor
Venue:  (2001)

From the Book:This book is written to an audience of advanced Java programmers and to management application architects and designers. The Federated Management Architecture (FMA), developed as part of the Java Community Process (JCP), enables component-based construction of management applications. Jiro is an implementation of that architecture along with a set of tools and utilities to aid in the creation of management applications and components that adhere to the FMA. To introduce the topics of the FMA and Jiro, we have taken the approach of: Discussing the context and a specific problem space that the FMA can be applied to. Introducing the primary features of the FMA and how Jiro implements those features. This is done through technical sections and code samples with follow-up exercises to expand your hands-on use of the base components in Jiro. Presenting the entire FMA specification in the second half of the book. What does it mean to have this book targeted at advanced Java programmers? We would expect that a reader would have considerable knowledge of Java and moderate understanding of many of Java's advanced features, such as RMI, network class loading, and security. Jiro relies heavily on the Jini platform as well as the core understanding of Java. We do present a chapter on Jini basics that will get you through the book, though you will want to follow up reading this book with reading a Jini book if you intend to write advanced Jiro-based management application. Througout the book we have taken care to leave references to other locations to find material to help you with specific topics, as well places where you cangain a broad understanding of underpinnings of Jiro. Enjoy the book and we'll see you at ...
The Lindstedt--Poincar&eacute; Technique as an Algorithm for Computing Periodic Orbits
Authors: Divakar Viswanath
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

The Lindstedt--Poincar&eacute; technique in perturbation theory is used to calculate periodic orbits of perturbed differential equations. It uses a nearby periodic orbit of the unperturbed differential equation as the first approximation. We derive a numerical algorithm based upon this technique for computing periodic orbits of dynamical systems. The algorithm, unlike the Lindstedt--Poincar&eacute; technique, does not require the dynamical system to be a small perturbation of a solvable differential equation. This makes it more broadly applicable. The algorithm is quadratically convergent. It works with equal facility, as examples show, irrespective of whether the periodic orbit is attracting, or repelling, or a saddle. One of the examples presents what is possibly the most accurate computation of Hill's orbit of lunation since its justly celebrated discovery in 1878.
Sub-Finslerian Metric Associated to an Optimal Control System
Authors: C. López, E. Martínez
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

The problem of minimizing the cost functional of an optimal control system through the use of constrained variational calculus is a generalization of the geodetic problem in Riemannian geometry. In the framework of a geometric formulation of optimal control, we define a metric structure associated to the optimal control system on the enlarged space of state and time variables, such that the minimal length curves of the metric are the optimal solutions of the system. A twofold generalization of metric structure is applied, considering Finslerian-type metrics as well as allowed and forbidden directions (like in sub-Riemannian geometry). Free (null Hamiltonian) or fixed final parameter problems are identified with constant energy leaves, and the restriction of the metric to these leaves gives way to a family of metric structures on the usual state manifold.

Introducing Microsoft® .NET
Authors: David S. Platt
Venue:  (2001)

:Microsoft .NET is an innovative software framework that promises to change software development as we know it. This book answers the question "What is Microsoft .NET and how do I profit from it?" The author breaks this question down into "What problems does Microsoft .NET solve?"; "What architectural approaches does it take to solve them?"; and "How do I get started using it?" Each chapter is written in a logical, pyramidal format, with simpler, high-level concepts introduced first, followed by a more detailed technical discussion, so readers can easily choose how deep they wish to go into each chapter. As the author progressively adds to the depth of Microsoft .NET information in each chapter, he uses diagrams and a small amount of code in the Microsoft Visual Basic development system to make his points.

Application of automatic diffentiation to race car performance optimisation
Authors: Daniele Casanova, Robin S. Sharp, Mark Final, Bruce Christianson, Pat Symonds
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

A formal method for the evaluation of the minimum time vehicle manoeuvre is described. The problem is treated as one of optimal control and is solved using a direct transcription method. The resulting nonlinear programming problem is solved using the sequential quadratic programming algorithm SNOPT for constrained optimisation. The automatic differentiation software tool ADopt is used for the evaluation of the first-order derivatives of objective and constraint functions with respect to the control variables. The implementation of automatic differentiation is more robust and ten times as fast compared to the use of a finite difference determination of the Jacobian.
Convergence of Proximal-Like Algorithms
Authors: Marc Teboulle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

We analyze proximal methods based on entropy-like distances for the minimization of convex functions subject to nonnegativity constraints. We prove global convergence results for the methods with approximate minimization steps and an ergodic convergence result for the case of finding a zero of a maximal monotone operator. We also consider linearly constrained convex problems and establish a quadratic convergence rate result for linear programs. Our analysis allows us to simplify and extend the available convergence results for these methods.

Venue:  (1999)

:The IMA Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms brought together many of the top researchers in the area of evolutionary computation for a week of intensive interaction. Real progress in communication was made between theorists and practitioners in the evolutionary computation field. Speakers presented applications across a wide range of problem areas. In some of those cases, theoretically motivated methods worked quite well. In other cases, practitioners used domain-based methods to obtain better performance than could be achieved by using a "pure" evolutionary algorithm. Individuals on both sides went away with a better appreciation of the successes and failures of current theory.

An Approximation to Miscible Fluid Flows in Porous Media with Point Sources and Sinks by an Eulerian--Lagrangian Localized Adjoint Method and Mixed Finite Element Methods
Authors: Hong Wang, Dong Liang, Richard E. Ewing, Stephen L. Lyons, Guan Qin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

We develop an Eulerian--Lagrangian localized adjoint method (ELLAM)-mixed finite element method (MFEM) solution technique for accurate numerical simulation of coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), which describe complex fluid flow processes in porous media. An ELLAM, which was shown previously to outperform many widely used methods in the context of linear convection-diffusion PDEs, is presented to solve the transport equation for concentration. Since accurate fluid velocities are crucial in numerical simulations, an MFEM is used to solve the pressure equation for the pressure and Darcy velocity. This minimizes the numerical difficulties occurring in standard methods for approximating velocities caused by differentiation of the pressure and then multiplication by rough coefficients.The ELLAM-MFEM solution technique significantly reduces temporal errors, symmetrizes the governing transport equation, eliminates nonphysical oscillation and/or excessive numerical dispersion in many simulators, conserves mass, and treats boundary conditions accurately. Numerical experiments show that the ELLAM-MFEM solution technique simulates miscible displacements of incompressible fluid flows in porous media accurately with fairly coarse spatial grids and very large time steps, which are one or two orders of magnitude larger than the time steps used in many methods. Moreover, the ELLAM-MFEM solution technique can treat large mobility ratios, discontinuous permeabilities and porosities, anisotropic dispersion in tensor form, and point sources and sinks.
