This work considers an optimization problem where the objective function possesses interval uncertainty in the coefficients. In this sense, first, an order relation will be defined for the interval space and, from this, ...

We study the structure of a simple dynamic optimization problem consisting of one state and one control variable, from a physicist's point of view. By using an analogy to a physical model, we study this system in the ...

Reconfiguration is a complex combinatorial problem in which the topology of distribution systems is modified by the opening/closing of interconnection switches aiming techno-economic benefits (e.g., minimization of losses). ...

In the last century, Albert Einstein's perceptions of the world afforded a revolution in the understanding of the universe. In his theory of general relativity, he describes the space-time continuum, a concept capable of ...

We extend the notion of KT-invexity from mathematical programming to the classical optimal control problem and show that this generalized invexity property is not only a sufficient condition of optimality for KT-processes ...
