The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the design variables. The accuracies of the convergence error and higher-order sensitivity estimation methods are verified using Laplace, Euler, and Navier-Stokes equations. The developed methods are used to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivity calculations in iteratively solved problems. A bound on the norm value of the finite-difference sensitivity error in the state variables is minimized with respect to the finite-difference step size. The optimum finite-difference step size is formulated as a function of the norm values of both convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The sensitivities calculated with the analytical and the finite-difference methods are compared. The performance of the proposed methods on the convergence of inverse design optimization is evaluated.

Inference in multivariate linear regression models with elliptically distributed errors İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet (2014-08-01) In this study we investigate the problem of estimation and testing of hypotheses in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are assumed to be non-normally distributed. We consider the class of heavy-tailed distributions for this purpose. Although our method is applicable for any distribution in this class, we take the multivariate t-distribution for illustration. This distribution has applications in many fields of applied research such as Economics, Business, and Finance. For estimat...
Fault detection and diagnosis in nonlinear dynamical systems Kılıç, Erdal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The aim of this study is to solve Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) problems occurring in nonlinear dynamical systems by using model and knowledge-based FDD methods and to give a priority and a degree about faults. For this purpose, three model-based FDD approaches, called FDD by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA), system identification based FDD and inverse model based FDD are introduced. Performances of these approaches are tested on different nonlinear dynamical systems starting from simple t...
Optimum design of steel structures via differential evolution algorithm and application programming interface of SAP2000 Dedekargınoğlu, Özgür; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) The objective of this study is to investigate the use and efficiency of Differential Evolution (DE) method on structural optimization. The solution algorithm developed with DE is computerized into software called SOP2011 using VB.NET. SOP2011 is automated to achieve size optimum design of steel structures consisting of 1-D elements such as trusses and frames subjected to design provisions according to ASD-AISC (2010) and LRFD-AISC (2010). SOP2011 works simultaneously with the structural analysis and design ...
Comparison of Kalman filter and Bayesian-MAP approaches in the spatio-temporal solution of the inverse electrocardiography Ters elektrokardiyografinin zaman-uzamsal çözümünde Kalman filtre ve Bayes-MAP yöntemlerinin karşilaştirilmasi Aydin, Ümit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2010-07-15) In this study some of the spatial and spatio-temporal methods for the solution of the inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECG) are compared with each other. Comparisons are also made for the cases with geometric errors, where the location of the heart is shifted for 10mm and the size of the heart is reduced by 5%. The compared methods are the Kalman filter and Bayesian maximum a posteriori estimation (MAP). Two different Bayesian-MAP algorithms are used. While one uses only spatial information the other...
Pseudospectral methods for differential equations : application to the Schrödinger type eigenvalue problems Alıcı, Haydar; Taşeli, Hasan; Department of Mathematics (2003) In this thesis, a survey on pseudospectral methods for differential equations is presented. Properties of the classical orthogonal polynomials required in this context are reviewed. Differentiation matrices corresponding to Jacobi, Laguerre,and Hermite cases are constructed. A fairly detailed investigation is made for the Hermite spectral methods, which is applied to the Schrödinger eigenvalue equation with several potentials. A discussion of the numerical results and comparison with other methods are then ...
