Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Due to the advancement of technology, many challenging practically significant real world problems emerge. These problems arise in a wide range of disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, core engineering (civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical), biology, defence and computer sciences. They can often be formulated as optimization or control problems, and hence, methodologies and techniques in optimization and control are clearly indispensable for solving these problems. Due to the existence of symmetry in certain systems in nature and engineering, many mathematical models and optimization problems arising possess some form of symmetry. For example, in some constrained optimization problems, certain variables appear symmetrically in the objective and constraint functions. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a selection of original high-quality papers, presenting substantial novel latest research achievements in optimization and control with application to important real-world engineering problems involving complex systems. It is expected that the solution methods will be based on advanced theory, methodologies and techniques from optimization and control. Submitted papers are also expected to be within the general scope of the journal.

The focus of this Special Issue is on the advancement of mathematically rigorous computational techniques, engineering mathematics and real world engineering applications in areas listed below:

  • Dynamical systems and control
  • Optimization and optimal control
  • Inverse problems
  • Modelling and optimization of complex systems

The allocation of products on shelves is an important issue from the point of view of effective decision making by retailers. In this paper, we investigate a practical shelf space allocation model which takes into account the number of facings, capping, and nesting of a product. We divide the shelf into the segments of variable size in which the products of the specific types could be placed. The interconnections between products are modelled with the help of categorizing the products into specific types as well as grouping some of them into clusters. This results in four groups of constraints—shelf constraints, shelf type constraints, product constraints, position allocation constraints—that are used in the model for aesthetic symmetry of a planogram. We propose a simulated annealing algorithm with improvement and reallocation procedures to solve the planogram profit maximization problem. Experiments are based on artificial data sets that have been generated according to real-world conditions. The efficiency of the designed algorithm has been estimated using the CPLEX solver. The computational tests demonstrate that the proposed algorithm gives valuable results in an acceptable time. Full article

Swarm-based algorithm can successfully avoid the local optimal constraints, thus achieving a smooth balance between exploration and exploitation. Salp swarm algorithm (SSA), as a swarm-based algorithm on account of the predation behavior of the salp, can solve complex daily life optimization problems in nature. SSA also has the problems of local stagnation and slow convergence rate. This paper introduces an improved salp swarm algorithm, which improve the SSA by using the chaotic sequence initialization strategy and symmetric adaptive population division. Moreover, a simulated annealing mechanism based on symmetric perturbation is introduced to enhance the local jumping ability of the algorithm. The improved algorithm is referred to SASSA. The CEC standard benchmark functions are used to evaluate the efficiency of the SASSA and the results demonstrate that the SASSA has better global search capability. SASSA is also applied to solve engineering optimization problems. The experimental results demonstrate that the exploratory and exploitative proclivities of the proposed algorithm and its convergence patterns are vividly improved. Full article

The symmetry of the omnidirectional robot motion abilities around its central vertical axis is an important advantage regarding its driveability for the flexible interoperation with fixed conveyor systems. The paper illustrates a Hardware in the Loop architectural approach for integrated development of an Ominidirectional Mobile Robot that is designed to serve in a dynamic logistic environment. Such logistic environments require complex algorithms for autonomous navigation between different warehouse locations, that can be efficiently developed using Robot Operating System nodes. Implementing path planning nodes benefits from using Matlab-Simulink, which provides a large selection of algorithms that are easily integrated and customized. The proposed solution is deployed for validation on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano, the embedded computer hosted locally on the robot, that runs the autonomous navigation software. The proposed solution permits the live connection to the omnidirectional prototype platform, allowing to deploy algorithms and acquire data for debugging the location, path planning and the mapping information during real time autonomous navigation experiments, very useful in validating different strategies.

This manuscript addresses a new multivariate generalized predictive control strategy using the least squares support vector machine for parabolic distributed parameter systems. First, a set of proper orthogonal decomposition-based spatial basis functions constructed from a carefully selected set of data is used in a Galerkin projection for the building of an approximate low-dimensional lumped parameter systems. Then, the temporal autoregressive exogenous model obtained by the least squares support vector machine is applied in the design of a multivariate generalized predictive control strategy. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed multivariate generalized predictive control strategy is verified through a numerical simulation study on a typical diffusion-reaction process in radical symmetry.

Shelf space on which products are exhibited is a scarce resource in the retail environment. Retailers regularly make decisions related to allocating products to their outlets’ limited shelf space. The aim of the paper was to develop a practical shelf space allocation model offering the possibility of horizontal and vertical product grouping, representing an item (product) with facings, capping, and nesting, with the objective of maximizing the retailer’s profit. Because real category-management problems address a lot of retailer’s rules, we expanded the basic shelf space allocation model, using shelf constraints, product constraints, multi-shelves constraints, and category constraints. To solve the problem, we proposed two adjustable methods that allowed us to achieve good results within a short time interval. The validity of algorithms was estimated, using the CPLEX solver and illustrated with example problems. Experiments were performed on data generated on the basis of real retail values. To estimate the performance of the proposed approach, 45 cases were tested. Among them, the proposed approach found solutions in 34 cases, while CPLEX found solutions only in 23 cases. The profit ratio of the proposed approach is, on average, 94.57%, with minimal and maximal values of 86.80% and 99.84%, accordingly. Full article

Many significant real world challenges arise as optimization problems on different classes of control systems. In particular, ordinary differential equations with symmetries. The purpose of this review article is twofold. First, we give the information we have about the class of Linear Control Systems ΣG on a low dimension matrix Lie group G. Second, we invite the Mathematical community to consider possible applications through the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for ΣG. In addition, we challenge some theoretical open problems. The class ΣG is a perfect generalization of the classical Linear Control System on the Abelian group Rn. Let G be a Lie group of dimension two or three. Related to ΣG, this review describes the actual results about controllability, the time-optimal Hamiltonian equations and, the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. We show how to build ΣG, through several examples on low dimensional matrix groups. Full article

A distributed database model can be effectively optimized through using query optimization. In such a model, the optimizer attempts to identify the most efficient join order, which minimizes the overall cost of the query plan. Successful query processing largely relies on the methodology implemented by the query optimizer. Many researches are concerned with the fact that query processing is considered an NP-hard problem especially when the query becomes bigger. Regarding large queries, it has been found that heuristic methods cannot cover all search spaces and may lead to falling in a local minimum. This paper examines how quantum-inspired ant colony algorithm, a hybrid strategy of probabilistic algorithms, can be devised to improve the cost of query joins in distributed databases. Quantum computing has the ability to diversify and expand, and thus covering large query search spaces. This enables the selection of the best trails, which speeds up convergence and helps avoid falling into a local optimum. With such a strategy, the algorithm aims to identify an optimal join order to reduce the total execution time. Experimental results show that the proposed quantum-inspired ant colony offers a faster convergence with better outcome when compared with the classic model. Full article

Modern industrial enterprises require high accuracy and precision feedback systems to fulfil cutting edge requirements of technological processes. As demand for a highly accurate system grows, a thin gap between throughput and quality exists. The conjunction of ultrafast lasers and modern control strategies of mechatronic systems can be taken into account as an effective solution to reach both throughput and tolerances. In the present paper, the dynamic errors of the moving platform of the one degree of freedom stage, based on linear motor and air bearings, have been analyzed. A precision positioning system is investigated as a symmetric system which is based on symmetric linear motor. The goal of the present article is to investigate the controllers of the different architecture and to find the best controller that can ensure a stable and small dynamic error of the displacement of the stage platform at four different constant velocities of the moving platform. The relations between the controller order, velocity and the displacement dynamic error have been investigated. It is determined that higher-order controllers can reduce the dynamic error significantly at low velocities of the moving platforms: 1 and 5 mm/s. On the contrary, the low order controllers of 4th-degree polynomials of the transfer function can also provide small dynamic errors of the displacement of the platform. Full article

There has been tremendous work on multi-agent systems (MAS) in recent years. MAS consist of multiple autonomous agents that interact with each order to solve a complex problem. Several applications of MAS can be found in computer networks, smart grids, and the modeling of complex systems. Despite numerous benefits, a significant challenge for MAS is achieving a consensus among agents in a shared target task, which is difficult without applying certain mathematical equations. Non-linear models offer better possibility of resolving consensus for MAS; however, existing non-linear models are considerably complicated and present no guarantees for achieving consensus. This paper proposes a non-linear mathematical model of semi symmetry quadratic operator (SSQO) in order to resolve the issue of consensus in networks of MAS. The model is based on stochastic quadratic operator theory, with added new notations. An important feature for the proposed model is low complexity, fast consensus, and a guaranteed capability to reach a consensus. We present an evaluation of the proposed SSQO model and comparison with other existing models. We demonstrate that an average consensus can be achieved with our model in addition to the emulation effects for the MAS consensus. Full article

Moisture is one of the most important factors impacting the talc pellet process. In this study, a hybrid model (HM) based on the combination of intelligent algorithms, self-organizing map (SOM), the adaptive neuron fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and metaheuristic optimizations, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is introduced, namely, HM-GA and HM-PSO. The main purpose is to predict the moisture in the talc pellet process related to symmetry in the aspect of real-world application problem. In the combination process, SOM classifies the suitable input data. The GA and PSO, as the training algorithms of ANFIS, are investigated to compare the prediction skill. Five factors, including talc powder, water, temperature, feed speed, and air flow of 52 experiment cases designed by central composite design (CCD), are the training set data. Three different measures evaluate the capacity of moisture prediction. The comparison results show that the HM-PSO can provide the smallest difference between train and test datasets under the condition of the moisture being less than 5%. As a result, the HM-PSO model achieves the best result in predicting the moisture for the talc pellet process with R = 0.9539, RMSE = 1.0693, and AAD = 0.393, compared to others. Full article

This article presents a stability analysis of linear time invariant systems arising in system theory. The computation of upper bounds of structured singular values confer the stability analysis, robustness and performance of feedback systems in system theory. The computation of the bounds of structured singular values of Toeplitz and symmetric Toeplitz matrices for linear time invariant systems is presented by means of low rank ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) based methodology. The proposed methodology is based upon the inner-outer algorithm. The inner algorithm constructs and solves a gradient system of ODE’s while the outer algorithm adjusts the perturbation level with fast Newton’s iteration. The comparison of bounds of structured singular values approximated by low rank ODE’s based methodology results tighter bounds when compared with well-known MATLAB routine mussv, available in MATLAB control toolbox.

In this article, we propose a new modified extragradient-like method to solve pseudomonotone equilibrium problems in real Hilbert space with a Lipschitz-type condition on a bifunction. This method uses a variable stepsize formula that is updated at each iteration based on the previous iterations. The advantage of the method is that it operates without prior knowledge of Lipschitz-type constants and any line search method. The weak convergence of the method is established by taking mild conditions on a bifunction. In the context of an application, fixed-point theorems involving strict pseudo-contraction and results for pseudomonotone variational inequalities are considered. Many numerical results have been reported to explain the numerical behavior of the proposed method. Full article
