Differential evolution (DE) is arguably one of the most powerful stochastic real-parameter optimization algorithms in current use. DE operates through similar computational steps as employed by a standard evolutionary algorithm (EA). However, unlike traditional EAs, the DE-variants perturb the current-generation population members with the scaled differences of randomly selected and distinct population members. Therefore, no separate probability distribution has to be used for generating the offspring. Since its inception in 1995, DE has drawn the attention of many researchers all over the world resulting in a lot of variants of the basic algorithm with improved performance. This paper presents a detailed review of the basic concepts of DE and a survey of its major variants, its application to multiobjective, constrained, large scale, and uncertain optimization problems, and the theoretical studies conducted on DE so far. Also, it provides an overview of the significant engineering applications that have benefited from the powerful nature of DE.

Differential Evolution: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art

There is an increasing demand for dynamic systems to become safer and more reliable This requirement extends beyond the normally accepted safety-critical systems such as nuclear reactors and aircraft, where safety is of paramount importance, to systems such as autonomous vehicles and process control systems where the system availability is vital It is clear that fault diagnosis is becoming an important subject in modern control theory and practice Robust Model-Based Fault Diagnosis for Dynamic Systems presents the subject of model-based fault diagnosis in a unified framework It contains many important topics and methods; however, total coverage and completeness is not the primary concern The book focuses on fundamental issues such as basic definitions, residual generation methods and the importance of robustness in model-based fault diagnosis approaches In this book, fault diagnosis concepts and methods are illustrated by either simple academic examples or practical applications The first two chapters are of tutorial value and provide a starting point for newcomers to this field The rest of the book presents the state of the art in model-based fault diagnosis by discussing many important robust approaches and their applications This will certainly appeal to experts in this field Robust Model-Based Fault Diagnosis for Dynamic Systems targets both newcomers who want to get into this subject, and experts who are concerned with fundamental issues and are also looking for inspiration for future research The book is useful for both researchers in academia and professional engineers in industry because both theory and applications are discussed Although this is a research monograph, it will be an important text for postgraduate research students world-wide The largest market, however, will be academics, libraries and practicing engineers and scientists throughout the world

Robust Model-Based Fault Diagnosis for Dynamic Systems

The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 is the update of similar evidence based position papers published in 2005 and 2007 and 2012. The core objective of the EPOS2020 guideline is to provide revised, up-to-date and clear evidence-based recommendations and integrated care pathways in ARS and CRS. EPOS2020 provides an update on the literature published and studies undertaken in the eight years since the EPOS2012 position paper was published and addresses areas not extensively covered in EPOS2012 such as paediatric CRS and sinus surgery. EPOS2020 also involves new stakeholders, including pharmacists and patients, and addresses new target users who have become more involved in the management and treatment of rhinosinusitis since the publication of the last EPOS document, including pharmacists, nurses, specialised care givers and indeed patients themselves, who employ increasing self-management of their condition using over the counter treatments. The document provides suggestions for future research in this area and offers updated guidance for definitions and outcome measurements in research in different settings. EPOS2020 contains chapters on definitions and classification where we have defined a large number of terms and indicated preferred terms. A new classification of CRS into primary and secondary CRS and further division into localized and diffuse disease, based on anatomic distribution is proposed. There are extensive chapters on epidemiology and predisposing factors, inflammatory mechanisms, (differential) diagnosis of facial pain, allergic rhinitis, genetics, cystic fibrosis, aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease, immunodeficiencies, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and the relationship between upper and lower airways. The chapters on paediatric acute and chronic rhinosinusitis are totally rewritten. All available evidence for the management of acute rhinosinusitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps in adults and children is systematically reviewed and integrated care pathways based on the evidence are proposed. Despite considerable increases in the amount of quality publications in recent years, a large number of practical clinical questions remain. It was agreed that the best way to address these was to conduct a Delphi exercise . The results have been integrated into the respective sections. Last but not least, advice for patients and pharmacists and a new list of research needs are included.

A Review of Process Fault Detection and Diagnosis Part I : Quantitative Model-Based Methods

This paper presents a novel approach for the fault diagnosis of actuators in known deterministic dynamic systems by using an adaptive observer technique. Systems without model uncertainty are initially considered, followed by a discussion of a general situation where the system is subjected to either model uncertainty or external disturbance. Under the assumption that the system state observer can be designed such that the observation error is strictly positive real (SPR), an adaptive diagnostic algorithm is developed to diagnose the fault, and a modified version is proposed for the general system to improve robustness. The method is demonstrated through its application to a simulated second-order system.

A fixed-time output feedback control scheme for double integrator systems ☆

In this paper a direct adaptive neural-network control strategy for unknown nonlinear systems is presented. The system considered is described by an unknown NARMA model, and a feedforward neural network is used to learn the system. Taking the neural network as a neural model of the system, control signals are directly obtained by minimizing either the instant difference or the cumulative differences between a set point and the output of the neural model. Since the training algorithm guarantees that the output of the neural model approaches that of the actual system, it is shown that the control signals obtained can also make the real system output close to the set point. An application to a flow-rate control system is included to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method and desired results are obtained.
