Chiral self-assembly is the spontaneous organization of individual building blocks from
chiral (bio) molecules to macroscopic objects into ordered superstructures. Chiral self …

A novel subgradient evaluation method is proposed for nonsmooth convex relaxations of
parametric solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) arising in global dynamic …

Global dynamic optimization problems are often represented as nonlinear optimization
problems with embedded parametric ordinary differential equations. Deterministic methods …

With increasing digitalization and vertical integration of chemical process systems,
nonconvex optimization problems often emerge in chemical engineering applications, yet …

Global dynamic optimization problems emerge in several engineering applications, such as
global optimal control, parameter estimation, and safety verification. Such problems are …

We present a new data‐driven approach for both accurate and computationally efficient
approximation of vapor liquid equilibria (VLE) models. Our method is able to provide …

Trends over the past two decades indicate that much of the performance gains of
commercial optimization solvers is due to improvements in x86 hardware. To continue …

This paper presents an improved method for computing convex and concave relaxations of
the parametric solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These are called state …

Convex relaxations of nonconvex functions provide useful bounding information in
applications such as deterministic global optimization and reachability analysis. In some …

Convex relaxations are a crucial tool in methods for global optimization, but are challenging
to construct for dynamic processes. In this article, we investigate combining two recent …
