Identifying strategies for mitigating the global warming impact of the EU-25 economy using a multi-objective input–output approach

Cortés-Borda, D.; Ruiz-Hernández, A.; … - In: Energy Policy 77 (2015) C, pp. 21-30

Global warming mitigation has recently become a priority worldwide. A large body of literature dealing with energy related problems has focused on reducing greenhouse gases emissions at an engineering scale. In contrast, the minimization of climate change at a wider macroeconomic level has so...

Optimal design of the heat pipe using TLBO (teaching–learning-based optimization) algorithm

Rao, R.V.; More, K.C. - In: Energy 80 (2015) C, pp. 535-544

Heat pipe is a highly efficient and reliable heat transfer component. It is a closed container designed to transfer a large amount of heat in system. Since the heat pipe operates on a closed two-phase cycle, the heat transfer capacity is greater than for solid conductors. Also, the thermal...

A multi-objective interactive system for adaptive traffic control

Dujardin, Yann; Vanderpooten, Daniel; Boillot, Florence - In: European Journal of Operational Research 244 (2015) 2, pp. 601-610

In this paper, we consider the problem of adaptive traffic control on single junctions with the three following objectives to be minimized: the total waiting time and the number of stops for private vehicles, and a public transport criterion. This problem being modeled as a multi-objective mixed...

Quantifying uncertainty on Pareto fronts with Gaussian process conditional simulations

Binois, M.; Ginsbourger, D.; Roustant, O. - In: European Journal of Operational Research 243 (2015) 2, pp. 386-394

Multi-objective optimization algorithms aim at finding Pareto-optimal solutions. Recovering Pareto fronts or Pareto …-to-evaluate functions is to appeal to metamodels. Kriging has been shown efficient as a base for sequential multi-objective optimization … and quantifying how much uncertainty remains on it at any stage of Kriging-based multi-objective optimization algorithms …
