Einführung in die Optimierung: Konzepte, Methoden und Anwendungen
by Christian Grimme Jakob BossekDieses Lehrbuch vermittelt einen breiten und grundlegenden Einblick in die Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung. Im Fokus stehen Algorithmen, verschiedene Optimierungsprobleme und ihre Komplexität sowie nützliche Lösungsmethoden. Dabei haben die Autoren, Informatiker und Optimierungsexperten der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster, die Konzepte ausführlich und leicht verständlich dargestellt und außerdem viel Wert auf die Anwendung der Problemstellungen und Lösungsverfahren auf Beispielfälle gelegt. Denn ob Bauteile passend gemacht, Personaleinsatz effizient geplant oder Transportnetzwerke effektiv gestaltet werden sollen – immer geht es um die Verbesserung von Systemen und die strukturierte Durchführung dieser Optimierung. Das Fachgebiet der mathematischen Optimierung wird daher auch häufig als Operations Research oder Unternehmensforschung bezeichnet.Das Buch beginnt mit einer Einführung in die Grundbegriffe der Optimierung und die Graphentheorie und erläutert zunächst lineare Problemformulierungen sowie den Simplex-Algorithmus als zentrales Lösungsverfahren. Anschließend werden nichtlineare Problemstellungen und zumeist heuristische Verfahren beschrieben. Hier liegt der Schwerpunkt auf Evolutionären Algorithmen, einer Klasse von randomisierten Optimierungsverfahren, die bei der Lösung komplizierter ingenieurtechnischer Probleme immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnen.Am Schluss des Buchs betrachten die Autoren das Thema aus der Perspektive der Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie. Denn die Optimierung, wie sie in den vorangehenden Kapiteln betrachtet wird, ist genau genommen ein Spezialfall der Entscheidungstheorie. Der Band enthält zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben mit Lösungen, die die Autoren in ihren Vorlesungen erprobt haben. Alle praktischen Problemstellungen werden durch Lösungsimplementierungen in der Programmiersprache Python (ab Version 3) und, wo möglich, mit realen Datensätzen ergänzt. Zahlreiche praktische Beispiele und Anwendungsfälle, auch aus der aktuellen Forschung, stehen als vertiefendes Begleitmaterial online zur Verfügung.

Electricity Markets with Increasing Levels of Renewable Generation: Structure, Operation, Agent-based Simulation, and Emerging Designs
by Fernando Lopes Helder CoelhoThis book describes the common ground between electricity markets (EMs) and software agents (or artificial intelligence generally). It presents an up-to-date introduction to EMs and intelligent agents, and offers a comprehensive description of the research advances and key achievements related to existing and emerging market designs to reliably and efficiently manage the potential challenges of variable generation (VG). Most EMs are unique in their complex relationships between economics and the physics of energy, but were created without the notion that large penetrations of variable generation (VG) would be part of the supply mix. An advanced multi-agent approach simulates the behavior of power markets over time, particularly markets with large-scale penetrations of renewable resources. It is intended as a reference book for researchers, academics and industry practitioners, but given the scope of the chapters and the highly accessible style, the book also provides a coherent foundation for several different graduate courses.
Electronic and Magnetic Excitations in Correlated and Topological Materials (Springer Theses)
by John S. Van DykeThis thesis reports a major breakthrough in discovering the superconducting mechanism in CeCoIn5, the “hydrogen atom” among heavy fermion compounds. By developing a novel theoretical formalism, the study described herein succeeded in extracting the crucial missing element of superconducting pairing interaction from scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments. This breakthrough provides a theoretical explanation for a series of puzzling experimental observations, demonstrating that strong magnetic interactions provide the quantum glue for unconventional superconductivity. Additional insight into the complex properties of strongly correlated and topological materials was provided by investigating their non-equilibrium charge and spin transport properties. The findings demonstrate that the interplay of magnetism and disorder with strong correlations or topology leads to complex and novel behavior that can be exploited to create the next generation of spin electronics and quantum computing devices.

Electronic Nose: Algorithmic Challenges
by David Zhang Fengchun Tian Lei ZhangThis book presents the key technology of electronic noses, and systematically describes how e-noses can be used to automatically analyse odours. Appealing to readers from the fields of artificial intelligence, computer science, electrical engineering, electronics, and instrumentation science, it addresses three main areas: First, readers will learn how to apply machine learning, pattern recognition and signal processing algorithms to real perception tasks. Second, they will be shown how to make their algorithms match their systems once the algorithms don’t work because of the limitation of hardware resources. Third, readers will learn how to make schemes and solutions when the acquired data from their systems is not stable due to the fundamental issues affecting perceptron devices (e.g. sensors). In brief, the book presents and discusses the key technologies and new algorithmic challenges in electronic noses and artificial olfaction. The goal is to promote the industrial application of electronic nose technology in environmental detection, medical diagnosis, food quality control, explosive detection, etc. and to highlight the scientific advances in artificial olfaction and artificial intelligence. The book offers a good reference guide for newcomers to the topic of electronic noses, because it refers to the basic principles and algorithms. At the same time, it clearly presents the key challenges – such as long-term drift, signal uniqueness, and disturbance – and effective and efficient solutions, making it equally valuable for researchers engaged in the science and engineering of sensors, instruments, chemometrics, etc.

Elements of Copula Modeling with R (Use R!)
by Marius Hofert Ivan Kojadinovic Martin Mächler Jun YanThis book introduces the main theoretical findings related to copulas and shows how statistical modeling of multivariate continuous distributions using copulas can be carried out in the R statistical environment with the package copula (among others). Copulas are multivariate distribution functions with standard uniform univariate margins. They are increasingly applied to modeling dependence among random variables in fields such as risk management, actuarial science, insurance, finance, engineering, hydrology, climatology, and meteorology, to name a few. In the spirit of the Use R! series, each chapter combines key theoretical definitions or results with illustrations in R. Aimed at statisticians, actuaries, risk managers, engineers and environmental scientists wanting to learn about the theory and practice of copula modeling using R without an overwhelming amount of mathematics, the book can also be used for teaching a course on copula modeling.
Elicitation
by Luis C. Dias Alec Morton John QuigleyThis book is about elicitation: the facilitation of the quantitative expression of subjective judgement about matters of fact, interacting with subject experts, or about matters of value, interacting with decision makers or stakeholders. It offers an integrated presentation of procedures and processes that allow analysts and experts to think clearly about numbers, particularly the inputs for decision support systems and models. This presentation encompasses research originating in the communities of structured probability elicitation/calibration and multi-criteria decision analysis, often unaware of each other's developments. Chapters 2 through 9 focus on processes to elicit uncertainty from experts, including the Classical Method for aggregating judgements from multiple experts concerning probability distributions; the issue of validation in the Classical Method; the Sheffield elicitation framework; the IDEA protocol; approaches following the Bayesian perspective; the main elements of structured expert processes for dependence elicitation; and how mathematical methods can incorporate correlations between experts. Chapters 10 through 14 focus on processes to elicit preferences from stakeholders or decision makers, including two chapters on problems under uncertainty (utility functions), and three chapters that address elicitation of preferences independently of, or in absence of, any uncertainty elicitation (value functions and ELECTRE). Two chapters then focus on cross-cutting issues for elicitation of uncertainties and elicitation of preferences: biases and selection of experts. Finally, the last group of chapters illustrates how some of the presented approaches are applied in practice, including a food security case in the UK; expert elicitation in health care decision making; an expert judgement based method to elicit nuclear threat risks in US ports; risk assessment in a pulp and paper manufacturer in the Nordic countries; and elicitation of preferences for crop planning in a Greek region.
