(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)An automated approach to optimizing multiple-response simulation experiments is presented. AMOS (Automated Multiple-Response Optimum-Seeker for Simulations) is an integrated system of Prolog and Fortran programs, implemented ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Dynamic programming models are typically solved by considering discrete values of the decision and state variables. Solutions are tabular inform, showing the best decision for discrete values of the state variable. For ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Constrained network problems arise from the addition of general linear constraints to ordinary network problems. The resulting problem loses the special structure that has allowed the development of very efficient solution ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)In this dissertation, the problem of optimizing a nonlinear objective function subject to linear and/or nonlinear constraints is considered. When the constraints are nonlinear, it is particularly advantageous to transform ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Every fire department seeks to provide the highest level of protection within the capabilities of its facilities, equipment and personnel resource. To achieve optimum protection levels, fire departments must allocate their ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Total geometry optimizations are reported for Cr(CO)₆ , HMn(CO)₅ , Fe(CO)₅ , Ni(CO)₄ , Cr(C₆H₆)₂, Fe(C₅H₅)₂ , Ni(C₄H₄)₂, Cr(NO)₄, (C₅H₅)Mn(CO )₃, and (C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ . A variety of basis sets were examined, and, based on the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)An extension of the Linear Quadratic Regulator, and Linear Quadratic Gaussian methodology is proposed to design a robust controller from the viewpoint of eigenvalue sensitivity. The resulting system is optimal under the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Most maintenance models for stochastically deteriorating systems consider to replace or not to replace as the only two actions that can be taken at any deterioration stage. In this research a preventive repair model that ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The control of deterioration processes for which only incomplete state information is available is examined in this study. When the deterioration is governed by a Markov process, such processes are known as Partially ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)We examine a failure model for a system subject to a sequence of randomly occuring shocks. A shock is any perturbation to the system which causes a random amount of damage to the system. Any of the shocks can cause the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The bicriterion and singly constrained shortest path problems constitute important variations of the classical shortest path problem. In many real world applications of the shortest path problem, two "cost" parameters can ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Phase behavior plays a fundamental role in oil recovery processes, ranging from the production of gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs to the injection of CO2 and N2 for enhanced oil recovery processes. In phase ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This inquiry addresses the need for a grazing optimization framework to include nonstationary effects of grazing due to over or under utilization (with respect to a steady state stocking rate of 9 acres./amu). The mechanism ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A transformed Quasi-Newton algorithm has been developed for the optimization of unconstrained functions. It is applicable when the function or its gradient vector is in the form of a signomial. The algorithm utilizes the ...
