Multi-objective optimization is proposed to address the problem of design optimality in the
nuclear power plant design process. This is done via the creation/development of the …

Nonlinear optimization is an active line of research, given the wide range of scientific fields
that benefit from its development. In the last years, the meta-heuristics proved to be one of …

Optimization methods that use optimality conditions of first and/or second order are known to
be efficient. Commonly, such iterative methods are developed and analyzed in the light of …

The method entitled topographical global optimization (TGO) is used to solve an inverse
problem of heat transfer by coupled conduction and radiation. The TGO selects points from a …

Computational Intelligence can be defined as a collection of methods that solve problems by
means of intelligence, reasoning, and tolerance to imprecision. In this thesis, Computational …

Inteligência Computacional pode ser definida como uma coleção de métodos que resolvem
problemas por meio de inteligência, raciocínio e tolerância à imprecisão. Nesta tese …

The complete design process for a new nuclear power plant concept is costly, long,
complicated, and the work is generally split between several specialized groups. These …
