Accelerating convergence of leapfrogging optimization - Applications to nonlinear process modeling and nonlinear model predictive control
(2014-07)
Conventionally used optimization methods in chemical engineering applications such as linear programming (LP), Levenberg-Marquardt and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) handle nonlinear objective function (OF) surfaces ...
Leapfrogging with improved initialization and its applications: Demonstration of leapfrogging on horizon predictive control of a heat exchanger
(2014-07)
Leapfrogging (LF) is a recently developed optimization technique that initially places players in random spots in the feasible decision variable space [1]. The approach to reach the global optimum is by "Leaping" the player ...
Social, economic and environmental metrics for the sustainable optimization of chemical and petroleum processes
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This research is focused on adopting a systematic methodology for address sustainability concerns during early stages of engineering design. Traditionally, engineers designed processes to achieve ...
