Abstract: Centralized augmented Lagrangian coordination (ALC) has drawn much attention due to its parallel computation capability, efficiency, and flexibility. The initial setting and update strategy of the penalty weights in this ...

Abstract: The augmented Lagrangian coordination (ALC), as an effective coordination method for decomposition-based optimization, offers significant flexibility by providing different variants when solving nonhierarchically decomposed ...

Abstract: This work considers the impact of thermal behavior in battery design. The cell performance worsens when the operating temperature falls outside of the ideal range, and evenness of cell temperatures is sought to prevent ...

Abstract: Routing or path-planning is the problem of finding a collision-free and preferably shortest path in an environment usually scattered with polygonal or polyhedral obstacles. The geometric algorithms oftentimes tackle the ...

Abstract: Analytical target cascading (ATC), a hierarchical, multilevel, multidisciplinary coordination method, has proven to be an effective decomposition approach for largescale engineering optimization problems. In recent years, ...
