Discrete-time stochastic analysis of land combat
Eliiyi, Uğur; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004)
In this study, we present the implementation and experimental analysis of a modeling approach for analyzing tactical level land combat to generate information for weapon and ammunition planning. The discrete-time stochastic model (DSM), which can handle small and moderately large force levels, is based on single shot kill probabilities. Forces are assumed to be heterogeneous on both sides, and both directed and area fire types are modeled by means of combinatorial analysis. DSM considers overkills and can h...
Discrete Optimization of Truss Structure using Probability Collectives
Kulkarni, Anand J.; Kale, I. R.; Tai, K.; Azad, S. Kazemzadeh (2012-12-07)
Traditionally, complex systems were treated using centralized approaches; however, recent trends highlighted that the growing complexity can be best dealt by decomposing the entire system into subsystems and further treat them in a distributed way. The approach of Probability Collectives (PC) in Collective Intelligence (COIN) framework decomposes the entire system into a Multi-Agent System (MAS) or a collection of rational and self interested agents and further optimizes them in a distributed and decentrali...

Discrete parameter Nonlinear Constrained Optimization of a Gear Train by Genetic Algorithms
Dölen, Melik; Seıreg, Alı (2005-01-01)
This paper investigates the optimal design of a four-stage gear train using genetic algorithms. Five different genetic encoding schemes, which incorporate various heuristic search techniques, are proposed to deal with the most critical constraints of the problem. The fitness criterion used by all genetic algorithms includes a merit function for minimising the size of the gearbox. The results show improvement in the design merit over previous approaches without reliance on the designer's interaction to avoid...
Discrete bifurcation diagrams and persistence
Örnek, Türkmen; Pamuk, Semra; Department of Mathematics (2018)
Let fti : M → R be a discrete Morse function on a cell complex M for each t0 < t1 < ... < tn = 1. Let us denote slice as Mi = M ×{ti} ⊂ M × I and let Vi be the discrete vector field on each slice. After extending the discrete vector field on each slice to a discrete vector field on all of M ×I, a discrete bifurcation diagram is obtained by connecting critical cells of the slices. In”Birth and Death in Discrete MorseTheory”(King,Knudson,Mramor), a solution about finding the discrete bifurcation diagram has been ...
