A Decentralization Method for Hybrid State Estimators
Göl, Murat (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-03-01)
Hybrid state estimation determines the states of systems monitored both by conventional SCADA measurements and PMUs. This paper proposes a decentralization method in order to improve the computational performance of hybrid state estimators with minimum loss of accuracy. The proposed method utilizes sensitivity matrix that relates measurement errors to state estimates in order to form the so-called isolated bus groups and observable subislands. Although the proposed decentralization method can be applied to ...
A context aware model for autonomous agent stochastic planning
Ekmekci, Ömer; Polat, Faruk (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01)
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are not able to make use of domain information effectively due to their representational limitations. The lacking of elements which enable the models be aware of context, leads to unstructured representation of that problem such as raw probability matrices or lists. This causes these tools significantly less efficient at determining a useful policy as the state space of a task grows, which is the case for more realistic problems having localized dependencies between states a...
A decomposition approach for undiscounted two-person zero-sum stochastic games
Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-06-01)
Two-person zero-sum stochastic games are considered under the long-run average expected payoff criterion. State and action spaces are assumed finite. By making use of the concept of maximal communicating classes, the following decomposition algorithm is introduced for solving two-person zero-sum stochastic games: First, the state space is decomposed into maximal communicating classes. Then, these classes are organized in an hierarchical order where each level may contain more than one maximal communicating ...

A simplified model for the analysis of machine foundations on a nonsaturated, elastic and linear soil layer
Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (Elsevier BV, 2001-12)
A simplified semi-analytical method, which considers advantages of analytical and numerical approaches, is developed to compute the response of a rigid strip and circular machine foundations - subjected to a harmonic excitation - resting on a layer of soil deposit with a noncompliant rock or rock-like material at the base. The method is based on variational principles and minimization of energy using Hamilton's principle. Nondimensional equations are developed for both type of footing resting on a soil laye...
