This paper presents a methodology for the placement and sizing evaluation of distributed generation (DG) in electric power systems. The candidate locations for DG placement are identified on the bases of Locational Marginal ...

We study optimal control problems governed by maximal monotone differential inclusions with mixed control-state constraints in infinite dimensional spaces. We obtain some existence results for this kind of dynamics and ...

Given a compact manifold X, a continuous function g : X -> IR, and a map T : X -> X, we study properties of the T-invariant Borel probability measures that maximize the integral of g. We show that if X is a n-dimensional ...

The concept of critical (or principal) angle between two linear subspaces has applications in statistics, numerical linear algebra, and other areas. Such concept has been abundantly studied in the literature, both from a ...

By using a regularization method, we study in this paper the global existence and uniqueness property of a new variant of non-convex sweeping processes involving maximal monotone operators. The system can be considered as ...

Sensors and actuators based on piezoelectric plates have shown increasing demand in the field of smart structures, including the development of actuators for cooling and fluid-pumping applications and transducers for novel ...

In this work, we deal with the optimal control problem of maximizing biogas production in a chemostat. The dilution rate is the controlled variable, and we study the problem over a fixed finite horizon, for positive initial ...
