System identification is a complex optimization problem which has recently attracted the attention in the field of science and engineering. In particular, the use of infinite impulse response (IIR) models for identification is preferred over their equivalent FIR (finite impulse response) models since the former yield more accurate models of physical plants for real world applications. However, IIR structures tend to produce multimodal error surfaces whose cost functions are significantly difficult to minimize. Evolutionary computation techniques (ECT) are used to estimate the solution to complex optimization problems. They are often designed to meet the requirements of particular problems because no single optimization algorithm can solve all problems competitively. Therefore, when new algorithms are proposed, their relative efficacies must be appropriately evaluated. Several comparisons among ECT have been reported in the literature. Nevertheless, they suffer from one limitation: their conclusions are based on the performance of popular evolutionary approaches over a set of synthetic functions with exact solutions and well-known behaviors, without considering the application context or including recent developments. This study presents the comparison of various evolutionary computation optimization techniques applied to IIR model identification. Results over several models are presented and statistically validated.

In this paper, the transfer functions related to one-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) filters have been theoretically and numerically investigated. The finite impulse response (FIR), as well as the infinite impulse response (IIR) are the main 2-D filters which have been investigated. More specifically, methods like the Windows method, the bilinear transformation method, the design of 2-D filters from appropriate 1-D functions and the design of 2-D filters using optimization techniques have been presented.

AbstractThe paper presents a method of optimizing frequency characteristics of filter banks in terms of their implementation in digital CMOS technologies in nanoscale. Usability of such filters is demonstrated by frequency-interleaved (FI) analog-to-digital converters (ADC). An analysis filter present in these converters was designed in switched-current technique. However, due to huge technological pitch of standard digital CMOS process in nanoscale, its characteristics substantially deviate from the required ones. NANO-studio environment presented in the paper allows adjustment, with transistor channel sizes as optimization parameters. The same environment is used at designing a digital synthesis filter, whereas optimization parameters are input and output conductances, gyration transconductances and capacitances of a prototype circuit. Transition between analog s and digital z domains is done by means of bilinear transformation. Assuming a lossless gyrator-capacitor (gC) multiport network as a prototype circuit, both for analysis and synthesis filter banks in FI ADC, is an implementation of the strategy to design filters with low sensitivity to parameter changes. An additional advantage is designing the synthesis filter as stable infinite impulse response (IIR) instead of commonly used finite impulse response (FIR) filters. It provides several dozen-fold saving in the number of applied multipliers.. The analysis and synthesis filters in FI ADC are implemented as filter pairs. An additional example of three-filter bank demonstrates versatility of NANO-studio software.

Evolutionary computation techniques have received a great deal of attention regarding their potential as optimization techniques for complex numerical functions. However, they have not produced a significant breakthrough in the area of nonlinear programming due to the fact that they have not addressed the issue of constraints in a systematic way. Only recently have several methods been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems; however, these methods have several drawbacks, and the experimental results on many test cases have been disappointing. In this paper we (1) discuss difficulties connected with solving the general nonlinear programming problem; (2) survey several approaches that have emerged in the evolutionary computation community; and (3) provide a set of 11 interesting test cases that may serve as a handy reference for future methods.

Definition Of

This chapter now turns to the discussion of filters, which extend the notion of spectrum beyond signals into the processes themselves. A gentle introduction to the concept of delaying signals, aided by yet another variant of the Fourier transform, the discrete-time Fourier transform, allows the operation of filters to be dissected. Another analysis tool, in the form of the z-transform, is brought to the fore as a complex-valued version of the discrete-time Fourier transform. A study of the characteristics of filters, introducing the notion of zeros and poles, as well as finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) forms, composes the main body of the text. This is complemented by a discussion of filter design and applications, including ideas related to time-varying filters. The chapter conclusion expands once more the definition of spectrum.

Tower Height

This paper presents a detailed optimization analysis of tower height and rotor diameter for a wide range of small wind turbines using Genetic Algorithm (GA). In comparison with classical, calculus-based optimization techniques, the GA approach is known by its reasonable flexibilities and capability to solve complex optimization problems. Here, the values of rotor diameter and tower height are considered the main parts of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), which are necessary to maximize the output power. To give the current study a practical sense, a set of manufacturer's data was used for small wind turbines with different design alternatives. The specific cost and geometry of tower and rotor are selected to be the constraints in this optimization process. The results are presented for two classes of small wind turbines, namely 1.5kW and 10kW turbines. The results are analyzed for different roughness classes and for two height-wind speed relationships given by power and logarithmic laws. Finally, the results and their practical implementation are discussed.

Oil Pipelines

Ensuring the structural integrity of oil pipelines is vital to prevent environmental damage and economic losses. In that sense, it is important to know the magnitude of the stress in the pipe, which must be done using non-destructive techniques. Measuring stress using ultrasonic longitudinal critically refracted waves (LCR) has been applied to pipelines with very promising results. The technique is based on the acoustoelastic theory that relates speed variation of elastic waves traveling in the material with its state of strain. Nevertheless, the signals acquired from piezoelectric transducers in such application may show high levels of noise coming mainly from material sources (grain boundaries, irregularities). The noise makes the measurement of wave velocity difficult, resulting in imprecise evaluations of the stress in the pipeline. The aim of this study is to evaluate techniques for filtering digital signals of LCR waves propagating in an oil pipe fabricated with API 5L X70 steel. We analyzed the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of digitalized acquired signals in four circumstances: without treatment; signals treated with successive averages; treated with FIR (Finite Impulse Response) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) digital filters, and with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The results show that the signals treated with DWT present better SNR compared to the other techniques.
