    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on numerical algorithms for efficient solution of QTL analysis problem in genetics.Firstly, we consider QTL mapping problems where a standard least-squares model is used for computing the model fit. READ MORE

  4. 17. Topology optimization of antennas and waveguide transitions

    Author : Emadeldeen Hassan; Martin Berggren; Daniel Noreland; Eddie Wadbro; Mats Gustafsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maxwell s equations; topology optimization; antennas; waveguide transition; finite-difference time-domain; gradient-based optimization; adjoint-field problem; microwave devices.; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces a topology optimization approach to design, from scratch, efficient microwave devices, such as antennas and waveguide transitions. The design of these devices is formulated as a general optimization problem that aims to build the whole layout of the device in order to extremize a chosen objective function. READ MORE

  5. 18. Stochastic Modeling and Operational Optimization in District Heating Systems

    Author : Lars Arvastson; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistik; actuarial mathematics; programming; operations research; Statistics; Matematik; optimization; Mathematics; simulation; prediction; District heating; grey-box modeling; operationsanalys; programmering; aktuariematematik; Systems engineering; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Operation of a district heating system is accomplished via a sequence of decisions by the operators controlling the system. These decisions are based on expectations of conditions in the system that are not known at decision time. READ MORE

  6. 19. Architectures and Algorithms for Future Wireless Local Area Networks

    Author : Peter Dely; Andreas Kassler; Vasilios Siris; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; WLAN; IEEE 802.11; network management; software defined networking; OpenFlow; optimization; handover; mobility; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Future Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with high carrier frequencies and wide channels need a dense deployment of Access Points (APs) to provide good performance. In densely deployed WLANs associations of stations and handovers need to be managed more intelligently than today. READ MORE

  7. 20. On Models and Methods for Global Optimization of Structural Topology

    Author : Mathias Stolpe; KTH; []
    Keywords : topology optimization; global optimization; stress constraints; linear programming; mixed integer programming; branch-and-bound;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and sevenindependent, but closely related, papers which all deal withproblems in structural optimization. In particular, we considermodels and methods for global optimization of problems intopology design of discrete and continuum structures. READ MORE
