Testing a predictive control with stochastic model in a balls mill grinding circuit
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014-12)
In this paper, the formulation of a stochastic model and its subsequent incorporation into a predictive control of a balls mill grinding circuit, is presented. The apparition of stochastic variables is a consequence of ...
Optimal reactive power dispatch using stochastic chance-constrained programming
(2012-11-27)
Deterministic Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch problem has been extensively studied, such that the demand power and the availability of shunt reactive power compensators are known and fixed. Give this background, a two-stage ...

Multistep stochastic mirror descent for risk-averse convex stochastic programs based on extended polyhedral risk measures
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We consider risk-averse convex stochastic programs expressed in terms of extended polyhedral risk measures. We derive computable con dence intervals on the optimal value of such stochastic programs using the Robust Stochastic ...
Computer simulation of the stochastic transport equation
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2015)
In this article the numerical approximation of the stochastic transport equation is considered. We propose a new computational scheme for the effective simulation of the solutions of this equation. Results on the convergence ...
Estimation or simulation? That is the question
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The issue of smoothing in kriging has been addressed either by estimation or simulation. The solution via estimation calls for postprocessing kriging estimates in order to correct the smoothing effect. Stochastic simulation ...
Non-asymptotic confidence bounds for the optimal value of a stochastic program
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We discuss a general approach to building non-asymptotic confidence bounds for stochastic optimization problems. Our principal contribution is the observation that a Sample Average Approximation of a problem supplies upper ...
Probabilistic backward location for the identification of multi-source nitrate contamination
(Springer, 2021-01-07)
Nitrate represents the most widespread contaminant in shallow aquifers, especially in urban areas, and poses risks to human health, when the contaminated groundwater is ingested. In urban environments, the release of nitrate ...
