  2. 1. Positioning Algorithms for Surveillance Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    Author : Per-Magnus Olsson; Patrick Doherty; Lars Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Unmanned aerial vehicles; surveillance; communication relay; label- correcting; dual ascent; Steiner trees; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Surveillance is an important application for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The sensed information often has high priority and it must be made available to human operators as quickly as possible. Due to obstacles and limited communication range, it is not always possible to transmit the information directly to the base station. READ MORE

  4. 2. Contributions to dual subgradient optimization and maintenance scheduling

    Author : Emil Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Subgradient optimization; Lagrangian duality; convex programming; maintenance scheduling; integer optimization; Lagrangian duality;

    Abstract : This thesis analyses two topics within the area of mathematical optimization; dual subgradient methods and maintenance optimization. The first two papers consider dual subgradient methods, and the third paper considers maintenance optimization. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects of Duality in Integer Programming

    Author : Tuomo Takkula; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with various problems arising when dualizing integer programs and combinatorial optimization problems. On the one hand, the corresponding dual functions are piecewise linear, calling for approaches from nondifferentiable optimization; on the other hand, the problems have special structures which can be exploited.

  6. 4. Convex multicommodity flow problems : a bidual approach

    Author : Kristoffer Hägglöf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : The topic of this dissertation, within the subfield of mathematics known as optimization, is the development of a new dual ascent method for convex multicommodity flow problems. Convex multicommodity flow problems arize in many different routing problems such as the design of packet switched computer networks and the computation of traffic network equilibria. READ MORE
