Abstract: In this paper, a special nonlinear bilevel programming problem (nonlinear BLPP) is transformed into an equivalent single objective ... The new constraint-handling scheme can make the ...

Our focus of this study is on optimizing the schedule for unit and pump operations with the aim of minimizing the number of switches over a time horizon under consideration, taking various operating ...

The objective is to achieve state consensus and minimize the sum of local time-varying objective functions in a distributed manner, while considering the constraints on inputs ... a scalar example, a ...
