The most basic problem of engineering is the design of optimal operators. Design takes different forms depending on the random process constituting the scientific model and the operator class of interest. For classification, the random process is a feature-label distribution, and a Bayes classifier minimizes classification error. Rarely do we know the feature-label distribution or have sufficient data to estimate it. To best use available knowledge and data, this book takes a Bayesian approach to modeling the feature-label distribution and designs an optimal classifier relative to a posterior distribution governing an uncertainty class of feature-label distributions. The origins of this approach lie in estimating classifier error when there are insufficient data to hold out test data, in which case an optimal error estimate can be obtained relative to the uncertainty class. A natural next step is to forgo classical ad hoc classifier design and find an optimal classifier relative to the posterior distribution over the uncertainty class this being an optimal Bayesian classifier.

Free Download Chaotic Meta-heuristic Algorithms for Optimal Design of Structures (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 1129) by Ali Kaveh, Hossein Yousefpoor
English | January 30, 2024 | ISBN: 3031489179 | 354 pages | MOBI | 38 Mb
In this book, various chaos maps are embedded in eleven efficient and well-known metaheuristics and a significant improvement in the optimization results is achieved. The two basic steps of metaheuristic algorithms consist of exploration and exploitation. The imbalance between these stages causes serious problems for metaheuristic algorithms, which are immature convergence and stopping in local optima. Chaos maps with chaotic jumps can save algorithms from being trapped in local optima and lead to convergence toward global optima. Embedding these maps in the exploration phase, exploitation phase, or both simultaneously corresponds to three efficient and useful scenarios. By creating competition between different modes and increasing diversity in the search space and creating sudden jumps in the search phase, improvements are achieved for chaotic algorithms. Four Chaotic Algorithms, including Chaotic Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm, Chaotic Water Evaporation Optimization, Chaotic Tug-of-War Optimization, and Chaotic Thermal Exchange Optimization are developed.

Free Download Optimal Control By Frank L. Lewis, Vassilis L. Syrmos
1995 | 552 Pages | ISBN: 0471033782 | PDF | 14 MB
This new, updated edition of Optimal Control reflects major changes that have occurred in the field in recent years and presents, in a clear and direct way, the fundamentals of optimal control theory. It covers the major topics involving measurement, principles of optimality, dynamic programming, variational methods, Kalman filtering, and other solution techniques. To give the reader a sense of the problems that can arise in a hands-on project, the authors have included new material on optimal output feedback control, a technique used in the aerospace industry. Also included are two new chapters on robust control to provide background in this rapidly growing area of interest. Relations to classical control theory are emphasized throughout the text, and a root-locus approach to steady-state controller design is included. A chapter on optimal control of polynomial systems is designed to give the reader sufficient background for further study in the field of adaptive control.The authors demonstrate through numerous examples that computer simulations of optimal controllers are easy to implement and help give the reader an intuitive feel for the equations. To help build the reader’s confidence in understanding the theory and its practical applications, the authors have provided many opportunities throughout the book for writing simple programs.Optimal Control will also serve as an invaluable reference for control engineers in the industry. It offers numerous tables that make it easy to find the equations needed to implement optimal controllers for practical applications. All simulations have been performed using MATLAB and relevant Toolboxes.Optimal Control assumes a background in the state-variable representation of systems; because matrix manipulations are the basic mathematical vehicle of the book, a short review is included in the appendix.A lucid introductory text and an invaluable reference, Optimal Control will serve as a complete tool for the professional engineer and advanced student alike.As a superb introductory text and an indispensable reference, this new edition of Optimal Control will serve the needs of both the professional engineer and the advanced student in mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering. Its coverage encompasses all the fundamental topics as well as the major changes of recent years, including output-feedback design and robust design. An abundance of computer simulations using MATLAB and relevant Toolboxes is included to give the reader the actual experience of applying the theory to real-world situations. Major topics covered include:* Static Optimization* Optimal Control of Discrete-Time Systems* Optimal Control of Continuous-Time Systems* The Tracking Problem and Other LQR Extensions* Final-Time-Free and Constrained Input Control* Dynamic Programming* Optimal Control for Polynomial Systems* Output Feedback and Structured Control* Robustness and Multivariable Frequency-Domain Techniques

Solutions to odd-numbered exercises are included, while a complete set of solutions is available to instructors who adopt the text for their class. The book is adaptable to coursework for final year undergraduates in (applied) mathematics or beginning graduate students in engineering. Required mathematical background includes calculus, linear algebra, a basic knowledge of differential equations, as well as a rudimentary acquaintance with control systems. The book has developed out of lecture notes that were tested, adapted, and expanded over many years of teaching. Chapters 1-4 constitute thematerial for a basic course on optimal control, covering successively the calculus of variations, minimum principle, dynamic programming, and linear quadratic control. The additional Chapter 5 provides brief views to a number of selected topics related to optimal control, which are meant to peak the reader’s interest. Some mathematical background is summarized in Appendix A for easy review. Appendix B recalls some of the basics of differential equations and also provides a detailed treatment of Lyapunov stability theory including LaSalle’s invariance principle, as occasionally used in Chapters 3 and 4.
