This paper presents an overview of the research progress in deterministic global
optimization during the last decade (1998–2008). It covers the areas of twice continuously …

With the increasing reliance on modeling optimization problems in practical applications, a
number of theoretical and algorithmic contributions of optimization have been proposed. The …

This paper presents a global optimization approach for solving signomial geometric
programming problems. In most cases nonconvex optimization problems with signomial …

This paper discusses a power-based transformation technique that is especially useful when
solving polynomial optimization problems, frequently occurring in science and engineering …

According to modern grid codes (GCs), high penetration of photovoltaic power plants
(PVPPs) to the utility grid requires a reliable PV generation system by achieving fault ride …

Experimentally evaluating gas turbine cooling schemes is generally prohibitive at engine
conditions. Thus, researchers conduct film cooling experiments near room temperature and …

Many global optimization approaches for solving signomial geometric programming
problems are based on transformation techniques and piecewise linear approximations of …

Geometric programming (GP) is a powerful tool for solving a variety of optimization
problems. Most GP problems involve precise parameters. However, the observed values of …

The work on this thesis was performed during the period 2006–2009 at the Process Design
and Systems Engineering Laboratory at Åbo Akademi University under the supervision of …

This paper deals with the design of controllers for TITO decoupled systems. The main
objective of these controllers is to ensure some time response specifications such as the …
