Global Optimization in Action

Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
In science, engineering and economics, decision problems are frequently modelled by optimizing the value of a (primary) objective function under stated feasibility constraints. In many cases of practical relevance, the optimization problem structure does not warrant the global optimality of local solutions; hence, it is natural to search for the globally best solution(s). Global Optimization in Action provides a comprehensive discussion of adaptive partition strategies to solve global optimization problems under very general structural requirements. A unified approach to numerous known algorithms makes possible straightforward generalizations and extensions, leading to efficient computer-based implementations. A considerable part of the book is devoted to applications, including some generic problems from numerical analysis, and several case studies in environmental systems analysis and management. The book is essentially self-contained and is based on the author's research, in cooperation (on applications) with a number of colleagues. Audience: Professors, students, researchers and other professionals in the fields of operations research, management science, industrial and applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics and the environmental sciences.
Localizing and Beamforming Freely-drifting VLF Acoustic Sensors

Book Description
Self contained, freely-drifting Swallow floats capable of recording ambient ocean noise in the 1 to 25 Hz band have been designed, built and deployed by the Marine Physical Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, California. The buoys are ballasted to neutral buoyancy at midwater depth where they record the components of particle velocity from which sound pressure levels may be derived. Float positions are estimated using an 8 kHz acoustic ranging system and a Kalman tracking filter. Individual float times series are then combined to obtain passive, directional acoustic measurements from 1 to 25 Hz which are not contaminated by flow noise or tether strumming. The float localization and beamforming techniques are illustrated using measurements from a September 1986 Swallow float experiments conducted approximately 50 miles west of San Diego, california. A distant target of opportunity (apparently a surface ship) provides six spectral lines between 9 and 22,5 Hz which are tracked for about 90 minutes. The complex bathymetry of the experiment site complicates signal propagation, but the signal level in the beam-former output indicates that the element time series are being properly combined. (RH).
