Method of relaxation applied to optimization of discrete systems.
Mode set focused hybrid estimation
Estimating the state of a hybrid system means accounting for the mode of operation or failure and the current state of the continuously valued entities concurrently. Existing hybrid estimation schemes try to overcome the problem of an exponentially growing number of possible mode-sequence/continuous-state combinations by merging hypotheses and/or deducing likelihood measures to identify tractable sets of the most likely hypotheses. However, they still suffer from unnecessarily high computational...
Modelling imperfect time intervals in a two-dimensional space
Models combination in (max,+) algebra for the implementation of a simulation and analysis software
This paper presents a modeling methodology in (max,+) algebra which has been developed in order to implement a modulary software for the simulation and the analysis of electronic cards production lines. More generally, this approach may be applied to hybrid flowshop type manufacturing systems.
