Their theoretical foundations provide guarantees that the global optimum solution of MINLPs involving twice-differentiable nonconvex functions in the continuous variables can be identified. The conditions imposed on the functionality of the binary variables differ for each method: linear and mixed bilinear terms can be treated with the SMIN-alpha BB; mixed nonlinear terms whose continuous relaxation is twice-differentiable are handled by the GMIN-alpha BB. While both algorithms use the concept of a branch and bound tree, they rely on fundamentally different bounding and branching strategies. In the GMIN-alpha BB algorithm, lower (upper) bounds at each node result from the solution of convex (nonconvex) MINLPs derived from the original problem. The construction of convex lower bounding MINLPs, using the techniques recently developed for the generation of valid convex underestimators for twice-differentiable functions (Adjiman et al., 1996; Adjiman and Floudas, 1996), is an essential task as it allows to solve the underestimating problems to global optimality using the GBD algorithm or the OA algorithm, provided that the binary variables participate separably and linearly. Moreover, the inherent structure of the MINLP problem can be fully exploited as branching is performed on the binary and the continuous variables. In the case of the SMIN-alpha BB algorithm, the lower and upper bounds are obtained by solving continuous relaxations of the original MINLP. Using the alpha BB algorithm, these nonconvex NLPs are solved as global optimization problems and hence valid lower bounds are generated. Since branching is performed exclusively on the binary variables, the maximum size of the branch-and-bound tree is smaller than that for the SMIN-alpha BB. The two proposed approaches are used to generate computational results on various nonconvex MINLP problems that arise in the areas of Process Synthesis and Design.

For any such problem, the ability to automatically generate progressively tighter convex lower bounding problems at each iteration guarantees the convergence of the branch-and-bound alpha BB algorithm to within epsilon of the global optimum solution. Several methods were presented for the construction of valid convex underestimators for general nonconvex functions. In this second part, the performance of the proposed algorithm and its alternative underestimators is studied through their application to a variety of problems. An implementation of the alpha BB is described and a number of rules for branching variable selection and variable bound updates are shown to enhance convergence rates. A user-friendly parser facilitates problem input and provides flexibility in the selection of an underestimating strategy. In addition, the package features both automatic differentiation and interval arithmetic capabilities. Making use of all the available options, the alpha BB algorithm successfully identifies the global optimum solution of small literature problems, of small and medium size chemical engineering problems in the areas of reactors network design, heat exchanger network design, reactor-separator network design, of generalized geometric programming problems for design and control, and of batch process design problems with uncertainty.

The general structure mixed-integer alpha BB algorithm (GMIN-alpha BB) is applicable to a very general class of problems for which the continuous relaxation is twice continuously differentiable. Both algorithms are developed using the concepts of branch-and-bound, but they differ in their approach to each of the required steps. The SMIN-alpha BB algorithm is based on the convex underestimation of the continous functions, while the GMIN-alpha BB algorithm is centered around the convex relaxation of the entire problem. Both algorithms rely on optimization or interval-based variable-bound updates to enhance efficiency. A series of medium-size engineering applications demonstrates the performance of the algorithms. Finally, a comparison of the two algorithms on the same problems highlights the value of algorithms that can handle binary or integer variables without reformulation.

This algorithm offers mathematical guarantees for convergence to a point arbitrarily close to the global minimum for the large class of twice-differentiable NLPs. The key idea is the construction of a converging sequence of upper and lower bounds on the global minimum through the convex relaxation of the original problem. This relaxation is obtained by (i) replacing all nonconvex terms of special structure (i.e., bilinear, trilinear, fractional, fractional trilinear, univariate concave) with customized tight convex lower bounding functions and (ii) by utilizing some alpha parameters as defined by Maranas and Floudas (1994b) to generate valid convex underestimators for nonconvex terms of generic structure. In most cases, the calculation of appropriate values for the alpha parameters is a challenging task. A number of approaches are proposed, which rigorously generate a set of alpha parameters for general twice-differentiable functions. A crucial phase in the design of such procedures is the use of interval arithmetic on the Hessian matrix or the characteristic polynomial of the function being investigated. Thanks to this step, the proposed schemes share the common property of computational tractability and preserve the global optimality guarantees of the algorithm. However, their accuracy and computational requirements differ so that no method can be shown to perform consistently better than others for all problems. Their use is illustrated on an unconstrained and a constrained example. The second part of this paper (Adjiman et al., 1998) is devoted to the discussion of issues related to the implementation of the alpha BB algorithm and to extensive computational studies illustrating its potential applications.

Small angle X-ray scattering has shown the formation of lamellar structures with a long period of about 25 nm. Besides the polyisoprene and polystyrene segmental relaxations and a slower process associated with the reorientation of the interface, we provide evidence for a new type of chain dynamics associated with the mobility of the junction points at the interface. From the relaxation strength of this process-which is very much reduced as compared to the chain relaxation in bulk polyisoprene-we extract a characteristic length of the end-to-end vector fluctuations in the interface in the range 4-6 nm. This value compares well with an independent estimate of the interfacial thickness based on thermodynamics. Dielectric spectroscopy can therefore be used as a dynamic probe of the interface in ordered triblock copolymers. Over the same temperature range rheology is influenced by a broad spectrum of modes related to the dynamics of tethered polyisoprene chains.

Both isochronal heating and isothermal/isochronal kinetic measurements of the complex dynamic shear modulus G* have been performed with high-frequency (ultrasonic) and conventional low-frequency rheology at frequencies of 3.5 MHz and 0.16 Hz, respectively. The different frequencies create a different viscoelastic contrast between the two phases in the two experiments. In both experiments the system can be regarded as a composite material made of spherulites within the amorphous matrix, and the increase of the shear modulus with time is attributed to the growing of spherulites at the expense of the amorphous matrix. The kinetics of crystallization are analyzed in the framework of the Avrami equation using different mechanical models that describe a two-phase composite. Although a simple parallel model composed of an amorphous and a spherulitic phase suffices to describe the ultrasonic shear experiment, a more complex model involving phase inversion is required to account for the abrupt dependence of the shear modulus on time in rheology. The effect of external shear is to speed up the kinetics. The ultrasonic shear experiments for the homopolymer crystallization are compared with those of the triblock copolymer, and it is found that the final modulus in the latter is considerably lower than that in the former experiment. This is explained by the less perfect structure of the lamellae and/or the spherulites in the copolymer and the kinetic frustration of the crystallization (for low undercooling) due to the glassy PS microphase. It is shown that the comparison of high and low-frequency rheology can provide new insights on the crystallization process and the final morphology in semicrystalline polymers.

The algorithm exploits an integral ''coarse-graining'' transformation of the objective function, U, into a smoothed function with few minima. When the coarse-graining is defined over a cubic neighborhood of length scale epsilon, the exact gradient of the smoothed function, U-epsilon, is a simple three-point finite difference of U. When epsilon is very large, the gradient of U-epsilon appears to be a ''bad derivative'' of U. Because the gradient of U-epsilon is a simple function of U, minimization on the smoothed surface requires no explicit calculation or differentiation of U-epsilon. The minimization method is ''derivative-free'' and may be applied to optimization problems involving functions that are not smooth or differentiable. Generalization to functions in high-dimensional space is straightforward. In the context of molecular conformational optimization, the method may be used to minimize the potential energy or, preferably, to maximize the Boltzmann probability function. The algorithm is applied to conformational optimization of a model potential, Lennard-Jones atomic clusters, and a tetrapeptide. (C) 1998 John Wiley and Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 19: 1445-1455, 1998.

In particular, the main focus of this paper is the study of pocket 1 of HLADR1 (DRB1*0101 allele), The determination of the minimum energy conformation is based on the ECEPP/3 potential energy model that describes the energetics of the atomic interactions, The minimization of the total potential energy is formulated on the set of peptide dihedral angles, Ruler angles, and translation variables to describe the relative position. The deterministic global optimization algorithm, alpha BB, which has been shown to be epsilon-convergent to the global minimum potential energy through the solution of a series of nonlinear convex optimization problems, is utilized. The PACK conformational energy model that utilizes the ECEPP/3 model but also allows the consideration of protein chain interactions is interfaced with alpha BB. MSEED, a program used to calculate the solvation contribution via the area accessible to the solvent, is also interfaced with alpha BB, Results are presented for the entire array of naturally occurring amino acids binding to pocket 1 of the HLA DR1 molecule and very good agreement with experimental binding assays is obtained.

The elastic scattering intensity has been monitored as a function of temperature up to 275 K and momentum transfer Q for values corresponding to the first and second sharp diffraction maxima. A small dynamic effect is observed below 235 K, i.e. below the melting temperature of PDMS. Considerable decrease of molecular mobility in the filled systems is detected above 235 K as a result of the decreased entropy of the adsorbed segments. The extent of reduced mobility is such that part of the chains no longer contributes to the quasielastic broadening but gives rise to an elastic component. At 40 wt% silica content and 250 K the fraction of immobilized segments amounts to 0.072 +/- 0.005 for the filler with 90 m(2) g(-1) surface area which corresponds to an adsorption layer of about 50 Angstrom.

With the assumption of increased processing capability of a node in the connectionist network, we show how a broader class of problems can be solved. As the proposed approach is a stochastic search technique, it avoids getting stuck in local optima. Robustness of the approach is demonstrated on several multi-modal functions with different numbers of variables. Optimization of a well-known partitional clustering criterion, the squared-error criterion (SEC), is formulated as a function optimization problem and is solved using the proposed approach. This approach is used to cluster selected data sets and the results obtained are compared with that of the K-means algorithm and a simulated annealing (SA) approach.

It turns out that there are different sources of fuzziness that must be dealt with differently. In the present paper we examine in detail two types of fuzziness, namely, the fuzziness due to classification in an under- or overdimensioned universe and the fuzziness due to the intersubject differences in opinion. For the former case the membership function is defined to be equal to the normalized distance from the point to the boundary of the set in a specific metric. It is shown that this definition of the membership function is fully consistent with the max-min operations for the union/intersection; however, the membership function of the complement is defined differently from the usual ''one minus'' rule. The fuzziness due to the intersubject differences turns out to be a simple averaging process, and the explicit formulas for this case were derived. Several examples that illustrate the notions of fuzzy intervals and fuzzy numbers are given and the interpretations of the derived membership curves are presented. The formulas for calculation of the membership function of a sum of fuzzy numbers and of a product of fuzzy numbers times a constant are derived. An extended definition of the measure of fuzziness is presented and applied to the defined membership functions.

Aggregation operators are seen as different methods to measure distances to the essential reference points of the feature space, called Ideals. It has been proved that every general aggregation operator can be associated with a corresponding metric, in which the result of its application is the distance to the Ideal. Some widely used operators correspond to familiar l - p norms, and new operators can be defined by specifying different metrics. Heterogeneous combinations of ANDs and ORs are treated in such a way that the distributivity and De Morgan's laws hold.

Vagueness and ambiguity inherent in natural language (textual) clinical guidelines makes them problematic for formulating automated alerts or advice. Fuzzy logic allows us to formalize the treatment of vagueness in a decision support architecture. In care plan on-line (CPOL), an intranet-based chronic disease care planning system for general practitioners (GPS) in use in South Australia, we formally treat fuzziness in interpretation of quantitative data, formulation of recommendations and unequal importance of clinical indicators. We use expert judgment on cases, as well as direct estimates by experts, to optimize aggregation operators and treat heterogeneous combinations of conjunction and disjunction that are present in the natural language decision rules formulated by specialist teams.

Many of the most popular methods for solving this type of problem, including many well-known interactive methods, involve searching the efficient set X-E of the problem. Generally however, X-E is a complicated, nonconvex set. As a result, concepts and methods from global optimization may be useful in searching X-E. In this paper, we will explain in theory, and show via an actual application to citrus rootstock selection in Florida, how the potential usefulness of the well-known interactive method STEM for solving problem (P) in this way, can depend crucially upon how accurately certain global optimization problems involving minimizations over X-E are solved. In particular, we will show both in theory and in practice that the choice of whether to use the popular but unreliable ''payoff table'' approach or to use one of the lesser known, more accurate global optimization methods to solve these problems can determine whether STEM succeeds or fails as a decision aid. Several lessons and conclusions of transferable value derived from this research are also given. [References: 72]}, + keywords = {Multiple objective linear programming.

The key to the algorithm lies in a formulation that generates a plane in n-dimensional space that minimizes the sum of the squares of the 2-norm distances to each of m(1) given points in the space. The plane is generated by an eigenvector corresponding to a smallest eigenvalue of an n x n simple matrix derived from the m(1) points. The algorithm was tested on the publicly available Wisconsin Breast Prognosis Cancer database to generate well separated patient survival curves. In contrast, the k-mean algorithm did not generate such well-separated survival curves. [References: 19] 19}, + keywords = {Clustering. K-mean.

The algorithm solves a series of linear underestimating subproblems over subsets of the feasible region, yielding lower and upper bounds on the optimal objective value of the original problem. The algorithm also uses a form of the Tuy cutting plane in the subproblems of the branch and bound tree. As in cone splitting algorithms for concave minimization, we construct the cutting planes such that no restrictive nondegeneracy assumptions are required and such that the hyperplanes defining the cuts do not need to be explicitly calculated, eliminating matrix inversions. An additional advantage of our algorithm is that the cuts cause the linear underestimating functions to more accurately approximate the concave objective function, yielding tighter lower bounds. Computational results with the algorithm are reported. [References: 46] 46}, + keywords = {Integer programming-problems. Outer approximation. Global optimization. +Linear constraints.

For a multilayer perceptron (MLP) trained with back-propagation (BP), this means finding appropiate layer size and initial weights. This paper proposes a method (G-Prop, genetic backpropagation) that attempts to solve that problem by combining a genetic algorithm (GA) and BP to train MLPs with a single hidden layer. The GA selects the initial weights and changes the number of neurons in the hidden layer through the application of specific genetic operators. G-Prop combines the advantages of the global search performed by the GA over the MLP parameter space and the local search of the BP algorithm. The application of the G-Prop algorithm to several real-world and benchmark problems shows that MLPs evolved using G-Prop are smaller and achieve a higher level of generalization than other perceptron training algorithms, such as Quick-Propagation or RPROP, and other evolutive algorithms, such as G-LVQ.

A significant property of TCNN's and DRNN's is that their attracting sets are generated by a bounded fixed point, which is the unique repeller when absolute values of the self-feedback connection weights in TCNN and the difference time in DRNN are sufficiently large. We provide sufficient conditions under which the neural networks have a trapping region where the global unstable set of the fixed point actually evolves into a global attracting set. We also prove the coexistence of an attracting set and a transversal homoclinic orbit in the same region, which may result in complicated chaotic dynamics. For combinatorial optimization with neural networks, this paper shows that TCNN's and DRNN's do have global searching ability and their attracting set encloses not only local minima, but also global minima for the commonly used objective functions. To demonstrate the theoretical results of this paper, several numerical simulations are provided as illustrative examples. +Index Terms - Attracting set, chaos, chaotic simulated annealing, global optimization, global search, homoclinic orbit, neural network, snap-back repeller, strange attractor.}, + keywords = {Neural networks Research +Chaos theory Usage +Simulated annealing (Mathematics) Usage +Mathematical optimization Technique +Database searching Technique}, + year = {1999} +} + +@book{Chen1992_book, + author = {Chen, S.-J. and Hwang, C.-L.}, + title = {Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making: Methods and Applications}, + publisher = {Springer}, + address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, + year = {1992} +} + +@article{Chen2001_FSS, + author = {Chen, T.-Y. and Wang, J.-C. }, + title = {Identification of [lambda]-fuzzy measures using sampling design and genetic algorithms}, + journal = {Fuzzy Sets and Systems}, + volume = {123 }, + pages = {321-341}, + year = {2001} +} + +@article{Chen2000_TMSS, + author = {Chen, T.-Y. and Wang, J.-C. and Tzeng, G.H.}, + title = { Identification of general fuzzy measures by genetic algorithms based on partial information}, + journal = {IEEE Trans. on Syst., Man and Cybernetics, B}, + volume = {30}, + pages = {517 - 528}, + year = {2000 } +} + + author = {Chen, Y.-P.

As a consequence, the expert systems oriented to these domains must have specific tools to deal with the uncertainty. A commonly used approach is to equip the expert system with a computational capability to analyze the transmission of uncertainty from the premises to the conclusion. The theory of fuzzy sets provides a systematic framework for dealing with fuzzy quantifiers, such as many, few, and most, and linguistic variables like normal, increased, tall, small, and old. In this framework the results of laboratory tests (we refer to the area of medical diagnostics) that are precise may be interpreted in the terms of fuzzy propositions by means of membership functions. This approach permits the expert system to employ the same inference engine used to deal with the imprecise information provided by physicians. In this paper we describe a method for the construction of the membership functions using the statistical data and the range of normal values. This information induces a specific metric and the value of the membership function is defined as the normalized distance from the point to the margin of the corresponding crisp set. We show how to build the membership function for the intersubject fuzziness and present a method for interactive refinement of the obtained curves.}, + keywords = {Ai, robotics and automatic control. +Reprint available from: Beliakov G.

It allows one to analyze the expression of certain parameters in the population of healthy persons, in order to compare it to the expression of these parameters in the persons with a specific disease. If a parameter is expressed differently in ill and healthy persons, then this parameter may serve as a pointer to the disease, especially in its earlier stages. While the analysis of given parameters in people with the established diagnosis does not represent many difficulties, the analysis of the general population is not easily carried out. The problem is that the general population contains both ill and healthy people. The population of healthy people is said to be 'contaminated' by the noise-subpopulation of ill people. The resulting statistical parameters are, therefore, biased and in order to find their correct values one needs to cancel out the input of the noise. In this paper we propose a new method to cancel out the noise, based on the theory of fuzzy sets. We assume that an auxiliary parameter is measured simultaneously and it is used to separate the subpopulations. If two subpopulations (the data and the noise) form clearly distinguished clusters in respect to this auxiliary parameter, one creates a gate and throws out the events outside the gate assuming that they are noise. However, when the clusters overlap, this procedure is no longer useful, and it is this particular situation for which we have developed fuzzy gating. In addition to the fact that the gate is fuzzified, a specifically designed algorithm is applied to compute the probability density functions for both subpopulations. Our algorithm gives a very high precision and is very robust as to the level of noise and the type of distributions. [References: 7] 7}, + keywords = {Fuzzy gating. Fuzzy sets. Robust statistics.

One of these difficulties is related to a large amount of conditional probabilities to be assessed and in many cases this task was recognised to be practically insoluble. The MYCIN certainty factors model is a widely distributed pragmatical approach for modeling reasoning under uncertainty that substantially simplifies the problem, at the sacrifice of theoretical soundness. One can determine certainty factors as a function of prior and posterior probability. However, this approach is only consistent with the modularity axiom for certainty factors for tree-structure inference networks, which is rarely true for practical applications. In this paper we abandon the requirement of a direct probabilistic interpretation of certainty factors and build a model of propagation of uncertainty in terms of absolute belief and belief updates. We describe our model for propagating uncertainty in terms of matrix multiplication with specifically defined addition and multiplication which correspond to parallel and sequential combinations of certainty factors. It is possible to define these operations in such a manner that they form a field, and therefore to obtain some useful properties. Finally we present a method of determining certainty factors from statistical data using nonlinear regression and illustrate it with a leukemia diagnostics problem.

They propose so-called one-step maximum likelihood estimators, i.e., they robustly estimate the minimum volume ellipsoid $A$ of the underlying distribution and then maximize a log-likelihood that is obtained from the original density, either by censoring or truncation, or a combination of the two, with respect to estimated $A_n$. Identifiability of the model is discussed, existence and uniqueness of the estimators is established, and the information matrix is provided. Furthermore, it is proven that the breakdown point of the one-step estimators preserves that of the robust estimator used to compute $A_n$ and the expression of the influence function is given.

In this report, we describe a geometric build-up algorithm for solving protein structure by using only a sparse set of inter-atomic distances. Such a sparse set of distances can be obtained by combining NMR data with our knowledge on certain bond lengths and bond angles. It can also include confident estimations on some "missing" distances. Our algorithm utilizes a simple geometric relationship between coordinates and distances. The coordinates for each atom are calculated by using the coordinates of previously determined atoms and their distances. We have implemented the algorithm and tested it on several proteins. Our results showed that our algorithm successfully determined the protein structures with sparse sets of distances. Therefore, our algorithm reduces the need of estimating the "missing" distances and promises a more efficient approach to NMR structure modeling.}, + keywords = {global optimization +distance geometry +Protein structure determination +numerical linear algebra and optimization +molecular structure +distance geometry +protein structure determination +numerical linear algebra +optimization}, + year = {2003, to appear} +} + +@article{Dongarra1987_commacm, + author = {Dongarra, J.J. and Grosse, E.}, + title = {Distribution of mathematical software via electronic mail}, + journal = {Comm.

For systems which are described by a nonlinear set of differential-algebraic equations, these problems have been shown to often contain multiple local minima. Methods exist which attempt to determine the global solution of these formulations. These algorithms are stochastic in nature and can still get trapped in local minima. There is currently no deterministic method which can solve, to global optimality, the nonlinear optimal control problem. In this paper a deterministic global optimization approach based on a branch and bound framework is introduced to address the nonlinear optimal control problem to global optimality. Only mild conditions on the differentiability of the dynamic system are required. The implementation of the approach is discussed and computational studies are presented for four control problems which exhibit multiple local minima.

In many cases these models are represented by a set of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations. This introduces difficulties from both a numerical and an optimization perspective. One such difficulty, which has not been adequately addressed,is the existence of multiple local minima. In this paper, two novel global optimization methods will be presented which offer a theoretical guarantee of convergence to the global minimum for a wide range of problems. The first is based on converting the dynamic system of equations into a set of algebraic constraints through the use of collocation methods. The reformulated problem has interesting mathematical properties which allow for the development of a deterministic branch and bound global optimization approach. The second method is based on the use of integration to solve the dynamic system of equations. Both methods will be applied to the problem of estimating parameters in differential-algebraic models through the error-in-variables approach. The mathematical properties of the formulation which lead to specialization of the algorithms will be discussed. Then, the computational aspects of both approaches will be presented and compared through their application to several problems involving reaction kinetics.

Formaldehyde mass fractions of over 90% have been achieved in the simulations. The solutions obtained, although not proven to be globally optimal, are of very high quality. A fully nonlinear robustness analysis of the formaldehyde production with respect to the catalyst model variables is performed by the use of a high dimensional model representation. This representation is similar to the ANOVA decomposition used in statistics but does not require an increase in the number of data points as the dimensionality of the variable space increases. The most important variables are the catalyst surface area and the rate of formaldehyde desorption. The yield improvement from employing optimized fluxes is found to be robust to the catalytic model parameter values. [References: 36] 36}, + keywords = {Sensitivity analysis. Optimization. Oxidation.

The calculations use a detailed reaction model for the oxidative pyrolysis of methane and a model for the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and soot:particle nulceation and growth. The reactor designs show that distributed hydrogen and oxygen fluxes along the axis of the reactor improve ethylene yields to a greater extent than co-fed hydrogen and/or oxygen. The axial heat flux is shown to play a major role in the final yields of ethylene. The optimal residence times are 28-31 ms, and the optimal temperature profiles cover a range of 1200-1985 K. The simulation results show that for the conditions considered, C2H2 is formed initially and is converted to C2H4 by a controlled extraction of energy. Hydrogen addition is advantageous at both stages to reduce soot in the first half of the reactor and to shift the equilibrium toward ethylene in the second half. Oxygen aids in forming ethylene from the C2H5 and C2H3 intermediates and in the formation of hydrogen radicals. Ethylene carbon mass fractions of 0.64 have been achieved.

It traces the origins of the controversy and portrays the current dispute as the latest stage in evolution of the Macedonian Question of the past. The diplomatic strategies of the two countries involved are examined for the 1991-1995 period. In addition, the content and significance of the contentious issues of this debate are put under scrutiny. Finally, the factors which contributed to the diplomatic exacerbation of the issue (causing a failure of both parties to secure a resolution to the dispute that they would consider as ''positive'') are analyzed and the general repercussions for the Balkans' geopolitical status quo are outlined.

In addition, toluene molecules experience a greater friction than dioctylphthalate in the concentrated polystyrene solutions when compared at (low) temperatures equidistant from the solvent T-g.

The asymmetric diblock copolymers (w(PS) approximate to 30%) had a dimethylamino or zwitterion group at either end of the chain, and the molecular weights were in the range (0.62-2.44) x 10(4). Depending on the temperature, the SAXS results revealed two separate levels of microphase separation, one between the polystyrene (PS) and polyisoprene (PI) blocks forming the microdomain structure and another one between ionic and nonionic material. The latter process creates sufficient contrast notwithstanding the small fraction of the zwitterionic groups. When the zwitterion is linked to the PI chain end, aggregates are formed at low temperatures within the PI phase. These aggregates manifest themselves both in theology and in dielectric spectroscopy, respectively, with an extended rubbery plateau and with a new dielectric process associated with restricted PI segmental relaxation. When the zwitterion is located on the PS chain end, association takes place, at high temperatures, within the PS phase and acts to stabilize the new microdomain up to very high temperatures. When compared with neutral diblocks, the omega-functionalized diblock copolymers constitute a new class of materials which provide the possibility of altering the phase behavior by introducing a small amount of a polar group at one chain end.

We have studied the ordered state morphology and the order-to-disorder transition (ODT) in three model super I-I-shaped block copolymer melts of the A3BA3 type. From the three asymmetric nonlinear block copolymers (0.07 < f(B) < 0.35, B is polystyrene (PS)) one is in the homogeneous disordered phase (f(PS) = 0.072), another is in the ordered phase (f(PS) = 0.345), and the third (f(PS) = 0.118) undergoes an order-to-disorder transition in a temperature range accessible by SAXS and rheology. In the former experiment the ODT has been identified from the discontinuous changes in the peal; intensity and width, whereas in the latter it has been identified by the discontinuous drop of the storage modulus. The SAXS results have shown a peculiar T dependence of the peak position q*, which is attributed to the starlike nature of the system. TEM and SAXS identify the morphology of the f(PS) = 0.118 Sample as spheres organized in a body-centered-cubic (bcc) lattice with each domain consisting of about 40 connector blocks (PS), whereas in the fps = 0.345 sample, PS cylinders are packed in a hexagonal lattice. At some temperatures in the vicinity of the T-ODT two states with very different viscosities exist and large amplitude deformation and/or temperature results in a transformation from the high (state I) to the low viscosity state (state II). To identify the associated structural changes, we have compared the viscoelastic response of each state to the corresponding structural profiles. We found that the viscoelastic response in state I is controlled by the relaxation of grains whereas in state II it is controlled by the relaxation of individual domains in the absence of long range order. At low shear rates, below the grain relaxation, we identify a flow regime that is a consequence of the colloidal nature of these block copolymers.

Effectively, we are studying the local and global dynamics of tethered PI chains in two environments: one made by I-chains (SI2) and another by the I/B-chains(SIB). At low temperatures, the PI local segmental dynamics in SI2 and SIE are different, reflecting the modification of the local friction by introducing the faster PB chains in the latter. At higher temperatures, however, this effect diminishes due to the demixing of I and B. To explore the thermodynamic and mobility effects on the global dynamics, we have studied, respectively, a ternary blend composed of PI, PB, and PS and binary blends of SIB and SIE with short PB chains. The PI global dynamics in SI2 and SIE resemble the dynamics of PS stars with additional entanglement effects in the latter. [References: 65] 65}, + keywords = {Slow dielectric-relaxation.

Hexagonally ordered cylindrical microdomains aligned along the direction of shear and with T-ODT = 379 K have been formed for both samples studied. The SAXS profiles at temperatures well above the T-ODT have been fitted to the mean-field theory (MFT) for graft copolymers. Near the ODT deviations from the theory have been observed and the SAXS data provide unambiguous evidence for the existence of fluctuations. The T-ODT obtained from theology is in excellent agreement with the one from SAXS. Discontinuities in the SAXS peak intensity and in the storage modulus near the T-ODT are more pronounced in these systems as compared to linear diblocks. The ordering kinetics have been studied with theology and complementary with SAXS. The width of the kinetically accessible metastable region is enlarged as compared to linear diblocks. For shallow quenches the ordering proceeds by heterogeneous nucleation and growth of three-dimensional grains with-cylindrical microstructure.

We found that crystallization disrupts the amorphous ordered morphologies and imposes a layered structure (L-c). The study of the kinetics of the Hex to L-c and the Hex to Gyroid transitions is facilitated by the different viscoelastic contrast and the distinctly different scattering patterns of the three phases involved (L-c, Hex, Gyroid). Our studies show that it is possible to undercool and overheat ordered phases just as we can undercool the disordered phase. The transformation from the Hex to the L-c phase proceeds via a heterogeneous nucleation and growth process and results in the formation of a spherulitic superstructure composed from stacks of lamellar crystals. The transformation of the Hex to the Gyroid phase involves two steps. The first step-which is too fast to be picked up by rheology-involves fluctuations of the hexagonal phase. The second "slow" step involves a nucleation and growth process of elongated objects. The transformation proceeds nearly epitaxially and has an activation energy of 47 kcal/mol which is typical for a collective process. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)52001-1].

Twenty of the diblocks exhibit at least one order-to-order transition, and two show four ordered phases. The phase diagram consists of four equilibrium phases in the melt; lamellar (Lam), hexagonally packed cylinders (Hex), spheres packed in a body centered cubic lattice (bcc) and a bicontinuous cubic phase with the Ia (3) over bard space group symmetry known as the gyroid phase. The latter is formed for the range of compositions 0.4 < f(PEO) < 0.45 which are the highest ever reported for a stable gyroid phase. The high asymmetry in the present phase diagram is attributed to the high conformational asymmetry of the PEO and PI (epsilon = 2.72). At low temperatures, upon PEO crystallization, all phases revert to the crystalline lamellar structure (L-c). Within the composition range 0.66 < f(PEO) < 0.7 another intermediate phase is formed known as perforated layers (PL) which is clearly not an equilibrium phase.

It is therefore surprising how seldom it has been applied to the clustering problem. Instead, the best clustering results have been obtained by more complex techniques such as tabu search and genetic algorithms at the cost of high run time. We introduce a new randomised local search algorithm for the clustering problem. The algorithm is easy to implement, sufficiently fast, and competitive with the best clustering methods. The ease of implementation makes it possible to tailor the algorithm for various clustering application with different distance metrics and evaluation criteria.

With a number of compounds of the type [(kappa-PR2CH2CH(OH)CH2-K-PR'(2))Rh(eta(4)-COD)]+PF6- at hand, and since the solid state structures and the catalytic properties of these compounds are known, an ideal opportunity to study this topic was available. After assigning all of the important H-1, C-13, and P-31 NMR spectroscopic resonances by a combination of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic methods quantitative interpretation of the 2D NOESY/EXSY spectra was achieved for four compounds [PR2 = PMes(2); PR'(2) = PPh2 (1), DBP (2), PEt2 (3), P(o-anisyl)(2) (4)]. It is found that the conformations that these compounds adopt in solution are similar to the ones observed for them in the solid state. The conformational ensemble in solution comprises lambda twist and delta twist forms;) and 6 isomers are clearly differentiated by quantitative NOE-based structure analysis (distance geometry). Since the sense of chirality of the ligand is known, an absolute assignment of these conformations is possible. The equilibrium constants at 298 K for the delta reversible arrow lambda, isomerisation of compounds 1-4 are not very different from one another, with reaction enthalpies ranging from -8 to -2 kJ mol(-1) and the reaction entropies in the range of -10 to 8 J K-1 mol(-1). The activation barriers are again similar for 1-4 and lie at DeltaH(not equal) = 64 kJ mol(-1). It is observed that the mesityl entities at the PMes(2) donor groups behave as coupled rotors with two rotational pathways open to them during the 6 reversible arrow delta interconversion while they are rotationally fixed in the lambda and delta conformations themselves. Comparing the above results with the enantioselective discrimination found for the same compounds in hydrogenation experiments it becomes clear that there is no direct correlation between the preference of one twist form over the other in the precatalyst and its chiral performance.The Euclidean distance matrix (EDM) completion problem and the positive semidefinite (PSD) matrix completion problem are considered in this paper. Approaches to determine the location of a point in a linear manifold are studied, which are based on a referential coordinate set and a distance vector whose components indicate the distances from the point to other points in the set. For a given referential coordinate set and a corresponding distance vector, sufficient and necessary conditions are presented for the existence of such a point that the distance vector can be realized. The location of the point (if it exists) given by the approaches in a linear manifold is independent of the coordinate system, and is only related to the referential coordinate set and the corresponding distance vector. An interesting phenomenon about the complexity of the EDM completion problem is described. Some properties about the uniqueness and the rigidity of the conformation for solutions to the EDM and PSD completion problems are presented.}, + keywords = {conformational analysis +diphosphanes +rhodium +kinetics +thermodynamics +catalyzed allylic substitution +magnetic-resonance thermometer +asymmetric hydrogenation +distance geometry +relative configuration +molecular mechanics (MM) +chiral bisphosphine +chiral compound +2-dimensional nmr +conformation +complexes}, + year = {2002} +} + +@article{Frigui2008_TFS, + author = {Frigui, H. and Hwang, C.}, + title = {Fuzzy Clustering and Aggregation of Relational Data With Instance-Level Constraints}, + journal = {IEEE Trans. on Fuzzy Systems}, + volume = {16}, + pages = {1565-1581}, + year = {2008} +} + + author = {Frisch, M.J. and Trucks, G.W. and Schlegel, H.B. and Scuseria, G.E. and Robb, M.A. and Cheeseman, J.R. and Montgomery, J.A., Jr and Vreven, T. and Kudin, K.N. and Burant, J.C. and Millam, J.M. and Iyengar, S.S. and Tomasi, J. and Barone, V. and Mennucci, B. and Cossi, M. and Scalmani, G. and Rega, N. and Petersson, G.A. and Nakatsuji, H. and Hada, M. and Ehara, M. and Toyota, K. and Fukuda, R. and Hasegawa, J. and Ishida, M. and Nakajima, T. and Honda, Y. and Kitao, O. and Nakai, H. and Klene, M. and Li, X. and Knox, J.E. and Hratchian, H.P. and Cross, J.B. and Adamo, C. and Jaramillo, J. and Gomperts, R. and Stratmann, R.E. and Yazyev, O. and Austin, A.J. and Cammi, R. and Pomelli, C. and Ochterski, J.W. and Ayala, P.Y. and Morokuma, K. and Voth, G.A. and Salvador, P. and Dannenberg, J.J. and Zakrzewski, V.G. and Dapprich, S. and Daniels, A.D. and Strain, M.C. and Farkas, O. and Malick, D.K. and Rabuck, A.D. and Raghavachari, K. and Foresman, J.B. and Ortiz, J.V. and Cui, Q. and Baboul, A.G. and Clifford, S. and Cioslowski, J. and Stefanov, B.B. and Liu, G. and Liashenko, A. and Piskorz, P. and Komaromi, I. and Martin, R.L. and Fox, D.J. and Keith, T. and Al-Laham, M.A. and Peng, C.Y. and Nanayakkara, A. and Challacombe, M. and Gill, P.M.W. and Johnson, B.G. and Chen, W. and Wong, M.W. and Gonzalez, C. and Pople, J.A.}, + title = {Gaussian 03}, + publisher = {Gaussian, Inc.}, + keywords = {ab initio quantum calculations +density-functional theory +DFT +Gaussian +molecular modelling +molecular orbital (MO) theory +molecular structure +nuclear magnetic resonance +NMR +quantum chemistry +quantum mechanics +self-consistent field +SCF +Schrödinger equation}, + year = {2003} +} + +@article{Fritsch1980, + author = {Fritsch, F.N. and Carlson, R.E.}, + title = {Monotone pieceuiuse cubic interpolation}, + journal = {SIAM J.

Classif}, + abstract = {Least-squares multidimensional scaling is known to have a serious problem of local minima, especially if one dimension is chosen, or if city-block distances are involved. One particular strategy, the smoothing strategy proposed by Pliner (1986, 1996), turns out to be quite successful in these cases. Here, we propose a slightly different approach, called distance smoothing. We extend distance smoothing for any Minkowski distance. In addition, we extend the majorization approach to multidimensional scaling to have a one-step update for Minkowski parameters larger than 2 and use the results for distance smoothing. We present simple ideas for finding quadratic majorizing functions. The performance of distance smoothing is investigated in several examples, including two simulation studies.

With the program KNOWNOE we present a novel, knowledge based approach to this problem. KNOWNOE is devised to work directly with the experimental spectra without interference of an expert. Besides making use of routines already implemented in AUREMOL, it contains as a central part a knowledge driven Bayesian algorithm for solving ambiguities in the NOE assignments. These ambiguities mainly arise from chemical shift degeneration which allows multiple assignments of cross peaks. Using a set of 326 protein NMR structures, statistical tables in the form of atom-pairwise volume probability distributions (VPDs) were derived. VPDs for all assignment possibilities relevant to the assignments of interproton NOEs were calculated. With these data for a given cross peak with N possible assignments A(i) (i = 1,...,N) the conditional probabilities P(A(i), a V-0 ) can be calculated that the assignment A(i) determines essentially all (a-times) of the cross peak volume V-0. An assignment A(k) with a probability P(A(k), a V-0) higher than 0.8 is transiently considered as unambiguously assigned. With a list of unambiguously assigned peaks a set of structures is calculated. These structures are used as input for a next cycle of iteration where a distance threshold D-max is dynamically reduced. The program KNOWNOE was tested on NOESY spectra of a medium size protein, the cold shock protein (TmCsp) from Thermotoga maritima. The results show that a high quality structure of this protein can be obtained by automated assignment of NOESY spectra which is at least as good as the structure obtained from manual data evaluation.}, + keywords = {nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) +NOESY spectra +nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) +molecular structure +distance geometry +signal class recognition +protein +molecular structure +correlated spectroscopy +peak integration +Bayesian method}, + year = {2002} +} + +@article{Gulasirima2007, + author = {Gulasirima, R. and Siripanich, P.}, + title = {A Partial Robustifying Weighted Least Squares Estimator}, + journal = {Thailand Statistician}, + volume = {5}, + pages = {41-55}, + abstract = {The objective of this study is to introduce an alternative weighted least squares +estimator called a partial robustifying weighted least squares (RWLS2) estimator.

It is assumed that function evaluations are expensive and that no additional information is available. Radial basis function interpolation is used to define a utility function. The maximizer of this function is the next point where the objective function is evaluated. We show that, for most types of radial basis functions that are considered in this paper, convergence can be achieved without further assumptions on the objective function. Besides, it turns out that our method is closely related to a statistical global optimization method, the P-algorithm. A general framework for both methods is presented.

The uncertain demands may be described by any continuous/discrete probability distribution. Uncertain processing parameters are handled in a scenario-based approach. Through the relaxation of the feasibility requirement, the design problem with a fixed number of pieces of equipment per stage is formulated as a single large-scale nonconvex optimization problem. This problem is solved using a branch and bound technique in which a convex relaxation of the original nonconvex problem is solved to provide a lower bound on the global solution. Several different expressions for the tight convex lower bounding functions are proposed. Using these expressions, a tight lower bound on the global optimum solution can be obtained at each iteration. The alpha BB algorithm is subsequently employed to refine the upper and lower bounds and converge to the global solution. The tight lower bounds and the efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated in several example problems. These case studies correspond to large-scale global optimization problems with nonconvex constraints ranging in number from 25 to 3750, variables ranging from 30 to 15636 and nonconvex terms ranging from 50 to 15000. It is shown that such large-scale multiproduct and multipurpose batch design problems can be solved to global optimality with reasonable computational effort.

Methods of minimizing the Gibbs free energy provide equilibrium solutions that are candidates only for the true equilibrium solution, because the number and type of phases must be assumed before the Gibbs energy minimization problem can be formulated. The tangent plane stability criterion was used to determine the stability of a candidate equilibrium solution. The Gibbs energy minimization and tangent plane stability problems are challenging due to highly nonlinear thermodynamic functions. This work develops a global optimization approach for the tangent plane stability problem that provides a theoretical guarantee about the stability of the candidate equilibrium solution with computational efficiency. Cubic equations of state were used due to their ability to accurately predict the behavior of nonideal vapor and liquid phases across a broad range of pressures. The mathematical form of the stability problem was analyzed and nonlinear functions with special structure were identified to achieve faster convergence of the algorithm. This approach, when applied to the SRK, Peng-Robinson, and van der Waals cubic equations of state, could address a variety of mixing rules. Computational results on problems with two-eight components are presented. [References: 51] 51}, + keywords = {Differentiable constrained nlps.

The thermodynamic criteria for azeotropy are outlined, and mathematical equations for each criterion are developed. The global optimization approach is based on developing convex underestimators which are coupled with a branch and bound framework in which upper and lower bounds on the solution are refined by successively partitioning the target region into small disjoint rectangles. The objective of such an approach is to enclose all global minima since each global minimum corresponds to a homogeneous azeotrope. Because of the nature of the thermodynamic equations which describe the behavior of the liquid phase, the constraint equations are highly nonlinear and nonconvex. The success of this approach depends upon constructing valid convex lower bounds for each nonconvex function in the constraints. Four different thermodynamic models are studied, the Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, and UNIFAC equations. Tight convex lower bounding functions are found for the nonconvex terms in each model. The unique element of the proposed approach is that it offers a theoretical guarantee of enclosing all homogeneous azeotropes.

This strong restriction on the dissimilarity data renders RFCM inapplicable to most relational clustering problems. This paper substantially improves RFCM by generalizing it to the case of arbitrary (symmetric) dissimilarity data. The generalization is obtained using a computationally efficient modification of the existing algorithm that is equivalent to applying a ''spreading'' transformation to the dissimilarity data. While the method given applies specifically to dissimilarity data, a simple transformation can be used to convert similarity relations into dissimilarity data, so the method is applicable to any numerical relational data that are positive, reflexive (or anti-reflexive) and symmetric. Numerical examples illustrate and compare the present approach to problems that can be studied with alternatives such as the linkage algorithms. [References: 14] 14}, + keywords = {Cluster analysis.

Maximizing the performance of a metabolic reaction pathway is treated as a mixed-integer linear programming formulation to identify changes in regulatory structure and strength and in cellular content of pertinent enzymes which should be implemented to optimize a particular metabolic process. A regulatory superstructure proposed contains all alternative regulatory structures that can be considered for a given pathway. This is approach is followed. to find the optimal regulatory structure for maximization of phenylalanine selectivity in the microbial aromatic amino acid synthesis pathway. The solution suggests that from the eight feedback inhibitory loops in the original regulatory structure of this pathway, inactivation of at least three loops and over expression of three enzymes will increase phenylalanine selectivity by 42%. Moreover, novel regulatory structures with only two loops, none of which exists in the original pathway could result in a selectivity up to 95%.

However, the stoichiometric complexity of metabolic pathways, along with their strongly nonlinear nature and regulatory coupling, necessitates the use of structured kinetic models to direct experimental applications and aid in quantitative understanding of cellular bioprocesses. A novel optimization problem is introduced here, the objective of which is to identify changes in the regulatory characteristics of pertinent enzymes and in their cellular content which should be implemented to optimize a particular metabolic process. The mathematical representation of the metabolic reaction networks used is the S-system representation, which at steady state is characterized by linear equations. Exploiting the linearity of the representation, we formulated the optimization problem as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. This formulation allows the consideration of a regulatory superstructure that contains all alternative regulatory structures that can be considered for a given pathway. The proposed approach is developed and illustrated using a simple linear pathway. Application of the framework on a complicated pathway-namely, the xanthine monophosphate (XMP) acid guanosine monophosphate (GMP) synthesis pathway-identified the modification of the regulatory architecture that, along with changes in enzyme expression levels, can increase the XMP and GMP concentration by over 114 times the reference value, which is 50 times more than could be achieved by changes in enzyme expression levels only.

Results presented here could be used as a guideline for preparing copolymers with controlled compatibility at the synthesis level. [References: 28] 28}, + keywords = {Order-disorder transition.

The problem of selecting the optimal vertical well locations was formulated with 3-D information as a MILP problem where the binary variables correspond to the decisions of well locations and vertical well completions. A novel decomposition-based solution procedure is proposed to address real fields characterized by 60,000 grid points. The approach is based on the ideas of refining the feasible set of candidate well locations by applying quality cut constraints. For the solution of the subproblems required at each iteration, a model reformulation was then suggested that enables the efficient determination of the optimal well locations. Two industrial case studies are considered to illustrate the applicability of the proposed procedure to realistic large-scale problems.

This value, which is described as the difference between two alternative behavioural models of actions under uncertainty, the here-and-now and the wait-and-see models, is especially useful when a decision must be made in the face of uncertainty whether to expand capacities and/or to introduce new technologies.

The algorithm is a modification of the standard Lipschitzian approach that eliminates the need to specify a Lipschitz constant. This is done by carrying out simultaneous searches using all possible constants from zero to infinity. On nine standard test functions, the new algorithm converges in fewer function evaluations than most competing methods. The motivation for the new algorithm stems from a different way of looking at the Lipschitz constant. In particular, the Lipschitz constant is viewed as a weighting parameter that indicates how much emphasis to place on global versus local search. In standard Lipschitzian methods, this constant is usually large because it must equal or exceed the maximum rate of change of the objective function. As a result, these methods place a high emphasis on global search and exhibit slow convergence. In contrast, the new algorithm carries out simultaneous searches using all possible constants, and therefore operates at both the global and local level. Once the global part of the algorithm finds the basin of convergence of the optimum, the local part of the algorithm quickly and automatically exploits it. This accounts for the fast convergence of the new algorithm on the test functions. [References: 16] 16}, + keywords = {Global optimization. Lipschitzian optimization. Space covering.

This model assumes the existence of a cooperative volume, similar to that in the Adam-Gibbs picture of the glass transition, over which segments have to reorganize in a concerted fashion to facilitate stress relaxation. No molecular theory exists for the cooperative volume. Consequently, here we critically compare two alternative functional dependences for this quantity in the context of the segmental dynamics of the most extensively studied miscible polymer blend, 1,4-polyisoprene (PI) and polyvinylethylene (PVE): (a) The Donth model, which assumes the Vogel form for the temperature dependence of relaxation processes, with a relaxation time that diverges at the Vogel temperature, roughly 50 K below the glass transition, and (b) a more recent dynamic scaling model that predicts the relaxation time diverges algebraically, only about 10 K below the glass transition. We find that the dynamic scaling model provides a near-quantitative description of the segmental relaxation in PI/PVE blends. In contrast, the Donth model predicts that the relaxation time spectrum for PI, the faster relaxing component, is bimodal, in qualitative disagreement with NMR experiments and our dielectric measurements reported here. Our results therefore emphasize two findings. First, our model can describe the segmental relaxations of the components of a polymer blend in a near-quantitative manner. Second, and more fundamentally, it appears that the dynamic scaling model describes segmental dynamics of polymers near their glass transition. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.

The blends rich in PSF form miscible blends when prepared by solution casting from a common solvent. In these PSF-rich blends, the single dynamic process in rheology shifts and broadens, with composition reflecting the change in local friction and the enhancement of concentration fluctuations, respectively. Heating to temperatures above the glass transition temperature results in phase separation into PSF- and PI-rich domains. An apparent phase diagram has been constructed, and helium permeability has been measured in different regimes corresponding to miscible, partially miscible, and completely phase-separated states. We find that one component (PI) controls the permeability values and activation energies for helium permeation in the blends. Gas permeation is found to he very sensitive to local concentration fluctuations and thus can be used as a probe of the phase state in polymer blends. (C) 1999 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.

Evidence is presented of two new types of dielectrically active chain relaxations by approaching the ODT from the disordered state and in the ordered state. In the ordered state and besides the usual isoprene subchain overall orientation, a new block relaxation process appears with slow dynamics and amplitude that depends on the sample preparation. The slow process is related to the coherently ordered microstructure and is attributed to the relaxation of the conformal interfaces formed in the ordered state; this assignment is supported by computer simulation results. In the disordered state, a bifurcation of the single dielectric relaxation is observed; the total amplitude increases as the temperature approaches the ODT, whereas the high-frequency process shows an apparent weak temperature dependence. The fast process may be related to polyisoprene subchains that feel higher polyisoprene concentrations near the ODT, whereas the slow relaxation mode can be attributed to the induced orientation correlations near and above the ODT, as supported also by computer simulations.

The goal of this procedure is to identify the native conformation of a given peptide by identifying the structure possessing the global minimum potential energy. However, a rigorous conformational search should locate the structure exhibiting the global minimum free energy. In this work, novel methods are developed for locating free energy global minimum conformations and clusters of peptides. These methods are based on an harmonic approximation for entropic effects, which requires the ability to generate a dense ensemble of distinct low energy local minima. Two approaches, both based on the general concepts of the aBB branch and bound framework, are used to generate these ensembles. In performing these calculations, potential-energy contributions were modeled using an all-atom force field. In addition, hydration effects were also considered by utilizing a solvent-accessible volume of hydration shell model. The free energy analysis was applied to both the unsolvated and solvated forms of met- and leu-enkephalin. It was found that both methods produce dense, Boltzmann-type, distributions of low-energy metastable states. The inclusion of entropic effects was also found to influence the prediction of free energy global minima. In addition, a statistical treatment of the thermodynamics of folding showed that the transition temperature, which signified a collapse from high energy, extended structures to a ground-statelike ensemble, could be identified.

Comput. Chem}, + abstract = {The ability to analyze large molecular structures by NMR techniques requires efficient methods for structure calculation. Currently, there are several widely available methods for tackling these problems, which, in general, rely on the optimization of penalty-type target functions to satisfy the conformational restraints. Typically, these methods combine simulated annealing protocols with molecular dynamics and local minimization, either in distance or torsional angle space. In this work, both a novel formulation and algorithmic procedure for the solution of the NMR structure prediction problem is outlined. First, the unconstrained, penalty-type structure prediction problem is reformulated using nonlinear constraints, which can be individually enumerated for all, or subsets, of the distance restraints. In this way, the violation can be controlled as a constraint, in contrast to the usual penalty-type restraints. In addition, the customary simplified objective function is replaced by a full atom force field in the torsional angle space. This guarantees a better description of atomic interactions, which dictate the native structure of the molecule along with the distance restraints. The second novel portion of this work involves the solution method. Rather than pursue the typical simulated annealing procedure, this work relies on a deterministic method, which theoretically guarantees that the global solution can be located. This branch and bound technique, based on the alpha BB algorithm, has already been successfully applied to the identification of global minimum energy structures of peptides modeled by full atom force fields. Finally, the approach is applied to the Compstatin structure prediction, and it is found to possess some important merits when compared to existing techniques. (C) 1999 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.

In the protein folding problem, the ultimate goal involves predicting the native protein conformation. A common approach,based on the thermodynamic hypothesis, assumes that this conformation corresponds to the structure exhibiting the global minimum free energy. However, molecular modeling of these systems results in highly nonconvex energy hypersurfaces. In order to locate the global minimum energy structure on this surface, a powerful global optimization method, alpha BB, is applied. The approach is shown to be extremely effective in locating global minimum energy structures of solvated oligopeptides. A challenging problem related to protein folding is peptide docking. In addressing the peptide docking problem, the task is not only to predict a macromolecular-ligand structure but to also rank the binding; affinities of a set of potential ligands. Many methods have used qualitative descriptions of the macromolecular-ligand complexes in order to avoid the need to perform a global search on the nonconvex energy hypersurface. In this work, a novel decomposition based approach that incorporates quantitative, atomistic-level energy modeling and global optimization is proposed. This approach employs the alpha BB global optimization method and is applied to the prediction of peptide docking to the MHC HLA-DR1 protein. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The approach is applicable to any homogeneous exothermic or endothermic complex reaction and the synthesis problem, formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, can handle both thermodynamic and economic objective functions. The solution of the resulting MINLP problem provides information about the optimal type of temperature control, the optimal temperature profile, the feeding, recycling and bypassing strategy as well as the optimal type and size of the reactor units (CSTR, PFR) to be used.

The bounds on the optimal stable solution are based on analytical expressions of bounds on the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix using the concept of the measure of the matrix. When extended to the synthesis problem of reactor networks, the approach is able to couple the optimization problem with stability issues even in cases where the number of reactors is large and the reaction mechanism is described by a general complex reaction scheme. Furthermore, since at the synthesis level the reactor network represents an exhaustive superposition of the existing structural and operational alternatives, the approach fully exploits these alternatives and coordinates a weighted optimal search that improves the objective and accommodates a stable reactor network.

We compare the resubstitution performance of the NPC on the IRIS data set, where the prototypes are either extracted by ''replacement'' (X-prototypes) or by ''selection'' (S-prototypes). Results for the R-prototypes are taken from a previous study and are contrasted with S-prototype results obtained by a genetic algorithm (GA) or by RS. The best results reached by both algorithms (GA and RS), followed by resubstitution NPC, are two errors with sets of three S-prototypes. This compares favorably to the best result found with R-prototypes, viz., three errors with five R-prototypes. Based on our results, He recommend GA selection for the NPC.

Phys. Commun}, + abstract = {Global optimization is playing an increasing role in physics, chemistry, and biophysical chemistry. One of the most important applications of global optimization is to find the global minima of the potential energy of molecules or molecular assemblies, such as crystals. The solution of this problem typically requires huge computational effort. Even the fastest processor available is not fast enough to carry out this kind of computation in real time for the problems of real interest, e.g., protein and crystal structure prediction. One way to circumvent this problem is to take advantage of massively parallel computing. In this paper, we provide several examples of parallel implementations of global optimization algorithms developed in our laboratory. All of these examples follow the master/worker approach. Most of the methods are parallelized on the algorithmic (coarse-grain) level and one example of fine-grain parallelism is given, in which the function evaluation itself is computationally expensive. All parallel algorithms were initially implemented on an IBM/SP2 (distributed-memory) machine. In all cases, however, message passing is handled through the standard Message Passing Interface (MPI); consequently the algorithms can also be implemented on any distributed- or shared-memory system that runs MPI. The efficiency of these implementations is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [References: 38] 38}, + keywords = {Crystal structure prediction. Genetic algorithms.

Thus, a clustering algorithm simulating a visual system may solve some basic problems in these areas of research. From this point of view, we propose a new approach to data clustering by modeling the blurring effect of lateral retinal interconnections based on scale space theory. In this approach, a data set is considered as an image with each light point located at a datum position. As we blur this image, smaller light blobs merge into larger ones until the whole image becomes one light blob at a low enough level of resolution. By identifying each blob with a cluster, the blurring process generates a family of clusterings along the hierarchy. The advantages of the proposed approach are: 1) The derived algorithms are computationally stable and insensitive to initialization and they are totally free from solving difficult global optimization problems. 2) It facilitates the construction of new checks on cluster validity and provides the final clustering a significant degree of robustness to noise in data and change in scale. 3) It is more robust in cases where hyperellipsoidal partitions may not be assumed. 4) It is suitable for the task of preserving the structure and integrity of the outliers in the clustering process. 5) The clustering is highly consistent with that perceived by human eyes. 6) The new approach provides a unified framework for scale-related clustering algorithms recently derived from many different fields such as estimation theory, recurrent signal processing on self-organization feature maps, information theory and statistical mechanics, and radial basis function neural networks. +Index Terms--Hierarchical clustering, scale space theory, cluster validity.}, + keywords = {Pattern recognition Research +Image processing Research +Clustering (Computers) Technique}, + year = {2000} +} + + author = {Lewis, S.W. and Francis, P.S. and Lim, K.F. and Jenkins, G.E.}, + title = {Monitoring urea levels during haemodialysis with a pulsed-flow chemiluminescence analyser}, + journal = {Analytica Chimica Acta}, + volume = {461}, + number = {1}, + pages = {131-139}, + abstract = {We have developed a rapid and robust method for the determination of urea in spent haemodialysis fluid as a measure of the efficiency of haemodialysis treatments. A novel flow analysis instrument (which generates a pulsed solution flow) was coupled with a chemiluminescence detection system, based on the oxidation of urea with hypobromite. The ‘pulsed-flow chemiluminescence analyser’ exhibited high precision (1.6% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for a 1 Â¥ 10-5M urea standard, n = 10) and good limit of detection (9 Â¥10-7 M, S/N = 3) as a result of the rapid and reproducible mixing of small volumes of reagent and sample at the point of detection. The proposed chemiluminescence technique and an established urease-based laboratory procedure were compared, and showed a very similar trend for the change in urea concentration during a typical haemodialysis treatment. The relative chemiluminescence response from the oxidation of species with similar structure has revealed the inherent selectivity of the light producing pathway, but a positive interference was obtained from protein when this technique was applied to the determination of urea in serum samples.

The instrument is also characterised by a compact size, high sampling frequency (120 to 300 samples per hour) and low reagent consumption (less than 500 ml per cycle). Other flow analysis modes (eg. flow injection, continuous flow and stopped flow) are available by simply altering software settings. The suitability of the system was shown using chemiluminescence reactions of analytical significance, namely the oxidation of luminol with hexacyanoferrate(III) in the presence of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzeneacetic acid (homovanillic acid), and the reduction of acidic potassium permanganate by morphine in the presence of polyphosphates.

This was accomplished by recording the vibrational and rotational energy of propane after each atom–atom encounter during trajectory simulations of propane + rare gas systems. This provides detailed information of the energy flow during a collision. It was found that collisions with small number of encounters transfer energy efficiently, whereas those with many encounters do not. Detailed analyses reveal that the former collisions arise from trajectories with high initial impact parameter, whereas the latter have small initial impact parameter. The reason behind this is the dependence of collision energy transfer (CET) of large polyatomic molecules on their shape.

Process synthesis usually focuses on optimizing an economic objective without consideration of controllability. This paper outlines and illustrates a systematic procedure for incorporating open-loop steady-state controllability measures within the mathematical programming approach of process synthesis. This approach translates a superstructure of design alternatives into a multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear (MINLP) optimization problem. With the flowsheet unknown a priori, the formulation requires expressions for the steady-state economic and control objectives in terms of the unknown design variables. Use of the epsilon-constraint method within the framework of the Generalized Benders Decomposition algorithm generates the noninferior solution set. A multiobjective optimization algorithm based on cutting planes determines a best-compromise solution among the various design and control objectives using as trade-off weights the partial derivative information from the noninferior set. The proposed procedure is then applied in binary distillation synthesis to consider multiple objectives for the RV control configuration, to examine different control configurations, and to deal with heat-integrated columns.

Part 2 applies this framework to study the design of a system consisting of an isothermal reactor followed by a distillation column, whose distillate stream recycles back to the reactor. For this particular flowsheet, the resulting optimization can be written as a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. A comparison of alternative designs shows that leaving the reactor and recycle stream compositions as variables in the NLP significantly reduces the cost compared with the cost of designs when these compositions are fixed. Economic considerations drive the optimal solution toward a larger reactor with lower reactant composition and toward a stripper column with lower vapor boilup. The derivation of steady-state gain expressions relating the product compositions in the column to manipulated and disturbance variables allows the incorporation of controllability measures within the NLP. Generation of the noninferior solution sets shows the quantitative trade-off between the steady-state economic and controllability objectives. In general, process controllability measures improve as the reactor holdup decreases and as the number of trays in the column increases, but the opposite changes improve the disturbance controllability measures.

The proposed branch and bound type algorithm attains finite E-convergence to the global minimum through the successive refinement of a convex relaxation of the feasible region and/or of the objective function and the subsequent solution of a series of nonlinear convex optimization problems. The efficiency of the proposed approach is enhanced by eliminating variables through monotonicity analysis, by maintaining tightly bound variables through rescaling, by further improving the supplied variable bounds through convex minimization, and finally by transforming each inequality constraint so as the concave part lower bounding is as tight as possible. The proposed approach is illustrated with a large number of test examples and robust stability analysis problems.

The global optimization approach is based on a branch and bound framework in which upper and lower bounds on the solution are refined by successively partitioning the target region into small disjoint rectangles. The objective of such an approach is to locate all global minima since each global minimum corresponds to an homogeneous azeotrope. The global optimization problem is formulated from the thermodynamic criteria for azeotropy, which involve highly nonlinear and nonconvex expressions. The success of this approach depends upon constructing valid convex lower bounds for each nonconvex function in the constraints. The convex lower bounding procedure is demonstrated with the Wilson activity coefficient equation. The global optimization approach is illustrated in an example problem.

We assume that the error model belongs to a location-scale family of distributions. Since in the asymmetric case the mean response is very often the parameter of interest and scale is a main component of mean, we do not assume that scale is a nuisance parameter. First, we show how to convert an ordinary robust estimate for the usual model with symmetric errors to an estimate for the more general model with asymmetric errors. Then, in order to improve efficiency, we introduce the truncated maximum likelihood or TML-estimator. A TML-estimate is computed in three steps: first, an initial high breakdown point estimate is computed; then, observations that are unlikely under the estimated model are rejected; finally, the maximum likelihood estimate is computed with the retained observations. The rejection rule used in the second step is based on a cut-off parameter that can be tuned to attain the desired efficiency while maintaining the breakdown point of the initial estimator (e.g., 50%). Optionally, one can use a new adaptive cut-off that, asymptotically, does not reject any observation when the data are generated according to the model. Under the model, the influence function of this adaptive TML-estimator (or ATML-estimator) coincides with the influence function of the maximum likelihood estimator. The ATML-estimator is, therefore, fully efficient at the model; nevertheless, its breakdown point is not smaller than the breakdown point of the initial estimator.

The UNIFAC and ASOG group contribution methods do not have this limitation and can predict the presence of multiple liquid phases. The most important area of application of all these equations is in the prediction of phase equilibria. The calculation of phase equilibria involves two important problems: (i) the minimization of the Gibbs free energy and (ii) the tangent plane stability criterion. Problem ii, which can be implemented as the minimization of the tangent plane distance function, has found wide application in aiding the search for the global minimum of the Gibbs free energy. However, a drawback of all previous approaches is that they could not provide theoretical guarantees that the true equilibrium solution will be obtained. The goal of this work is to find the equilibrium solution corresponding to the global minimum of the Gibbs free energy. A proof that the Wilson equation leads to a convex formulation for the minimization of the Gibbs energy is provided so that a local optimization technique will always converge to a global minimum. In addition, new expressions are derived for the molar Gibbs free energy function when the UNIFAC, ASOG, and modified Wilson equations are employed. These expressions are then transformed so that application of a branch and bound based global optimization algorithm originally due to Falk and Soland (1969) is possible. This allows global solutions to be obtained for both the minimization of the Gibbs free energy and the minimization of the tangent plane distance function. The algorithm is implemented in C as part of the package GLOPEQ, global optimization for the phase equilibrium problem (McDonald and Floudas, 1994d). Results for several examples are presented.

This work examines the problems when the liquid phase is adequately modeled by the Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient expression and the vapor phase is assumed to be ideal. The contribution of the proposed approach is two-fold. Firstly, a novel and important property of the Gibbs free energy expression involving the NRTL equation is provided. It is subsequently shown that by introducing new variables, the problem can then be transformed into one where a biconvex objective function is minimized over a set of bilinear constraints. Secondly, the Global OPtimization (GOP) algorithm is used to exploit these induced properties of the formulation to guarantee convergence to an epsilon-global solution, regardless of the starting point. A geometrical interpretation is provided for a selected smaller, but challenging, example. Numerous examples are presented which demonstrate the broad applicability of the proposed approach.

The ability to determine if a postulated solution is thermodynamically stable with respect to perturbations in any or all of the phases is very useful in the search for the title equilibrium solution. Previous approaches have focused on finding stationary points of the tangent plane distance function. Obtaining all stationary points, however cannot be guaranteed due to the complex and nonlinear nature of the models used to predict equilibrium. Simpler fomulations for the stability problem are presented for special problems where nonideal liquid phases can be adequately modeled using the NRTL and UNIQUAC activity coefficient equations. It shows how the global minimum of the tangent plane distance function can be obtained for these problems. A global optimization approach is advantageous because a nonnegative solution can be asserted to be the globally stable equilibrium one, unlike available local algorithms. For the NRTL equation, the GOP algorithm of Floudas and Visweswaran (1990, 1993) is used to guarantee obtaining epsilon-global convergence to the global minimum. For the UNIQUAC equation, a branch and bound algorithm based on that of Falk and Soland (1969) is used to guarantee convergence to the global solution. Computational results demonstrate the efficiency of both global optimization algorithms in solving various challenging problems.

The ubiquity of the flash calculation in chemical engineering is just one example of its prevalence. Process simulators need to be able to reliably and efficiently predict the correct number of phases that will exist at equilibrium, and the distribution of components within those phases. However, the equation based and local optimisation approaches which are in common use can provide no theoretical guarantee that the true equilibrium solution will be obtained. For conditions of constant temperature and pressure, a necessary and sufficient condition for the true equilibrium solution is that (i) the total Gibbs free energy of the system be at its global minimum, or (ii) the minimum of the tangent plane distance function be nonnegative for all phase models used to represent the system. In this contribution, the goal is to obtain equilibrium solutions corresponding to a global minimum of the Gibbs free energy as efficiently as possible, for cases where the liquid phase can be modeled by the NRTL UNIQUAC, UNIFAC, Wilson, modified Wilson and ASOG equations. Vapor phases whose behavior can be described as ideal can also be handled. In achieving this goal, there are two distinct problems of relevance: (i) the minimisation of the Gibbs free energy, denoted (G), and (ii) the minimisation of the tangent plane distance function, or the tangent plane stability criterion, denoted (S). The approach builds on previous contributions by the authors. McDonald and Floudas (Comput. chem. Engng., 19(11), 1995) use the Global optimization, GOP, algorithm of Floudas and Visweswaran (1990, 1993) to obtain global solutions for (G) when employing the NRTL equation. For the UNIQUAC equation, McDonald and Floudas (JOGO, 5:205, 1993) show how the Gibbs function can be transformed into the difference of two convex functions, so that a branch and bound deterministic global optimisation algorithm can be used to solve (G) globally. McDonald and Floudas (AIChE J., 41(7):1798, 1995) demonstrate how global solutions can be obtained for (S) when using the NRTL or UNIQUAC equations. McDonald and Floudas (IandEC Res., 34.1674, 1995) show how a similar branch and bound algorithm can also be applied for the UNIFAC, Wilson, modified Wilson and ASOG models to solve both (G) and (S). The key contribution is the presentation of an algorithm called GLOPEQ (Global OPtimization for the Phase and chemical EQuilibrium problem) which is theoretically guaranteed to converge to the global (sic equilibrium) solution for the activity coefficient models indicated, no matter the starting point. GLOPEQ solves (G) and (S) in tandem, using (G) to generate candidate equilibrium solutions which can then be verified for thermodynamic stability by solving (S). Two key features of the combined algorithm are that (i) as much information as is possible is obtained from local searches, and (ii) it is preferable to verify a globally stable equilibrium solution using the tangent plane criterion, as this problem contains fewer variables than the minimisation of the Gibbs free energy. Both these features improve computational performance greatly. The GLOPEQ algorithm uses the tangent plane criterion to establish if the Gibbs free energy of a current equilibrium solution can be reduced. However, the main difference is that deterministic global optimisation is used to solve the subproblems (G) and (S) as opposed to local optimisation techniques, thus allowing the above guarantees to be made, unlike all other previous approaches.

Upon crystallization the spectrum shifts to lower frequencies and broadens considerably towards the low-frequency side. There is a strong increase of pair correlations as we approach the transition from the melt state indicating pretransitional ordering. From the T and P dependence of the relative dielectric intensity the existence of the rigid amorphous phase was documented. From the T and P dependence of the relaxation times the activation energies and activation volumes were obtained and found that the crystal state possess higher activation parameters reflecting the dynamics of the restricted amorphous phase. The effect of pressure on the morphology is to increase the crystal thickness by incorporating additional methylene units to the side-chain crystals.

These liquids have a fourfold difference in T-g's, a fivefold difference in optical anisotropies gamma(eff)(2)'s, and a sevenfold difference in hydrodynamic volumes V-h's. The analysis of the distribution of relaxation times has been carried out using both the raw intensity data and the corresponding susceptibility representation of the same data. These results are combined with light scattering and dielectric data obtained at lower frequencies. Notwithstanding the great differences in T-g's, gamma(eff)(2)'s, and V-h's, the liquids show that their distributions of relaxation times from light scattering narrow with increasing temperature. In some, though not all, liquids, an unbiased analysis of the data indicates that the distribution tends to narrow towards a single exponential time (Debye) spectrum consistent with the extrapolation of the dielectric relaxation measurements from lower temperatures. The light-scattering results, consistent with dielectric and shear viscosity data, are discussed in their relation to current theoretical interpretations. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

In this study we determined the minimum set of experiments needed to generate a high quality structure bundle. Different combinations of 3D N-15-edited, C-13-edited HSQC-NOESY and 2D homonuclear H-1-H-1 NOESY spectra of the 77 amino acid protein, myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1) were used as input for NOAH/DIAMOD calculations. The quality of the assignments of NOESY cross peaks and the accuracy of the automatically generated 3D structures were compared to those obtained with a conventional manual procedure. Combining data from two types of experiments synergistically increased the number of peaks assigned unambiguously in both individual spectra. As a general trend for the accuracy of the structures we observed structural variations in the backbone fold of the final structures of about 2 Angstrom for single spectral data, of 1 Angstrom to 1.5 Angstrom for double spectral data, and of 0.6 Angstrom for triple spectral data sets. The quality of the assignments and 3D structures from the optimal data using all three spectra were similar to those obtained from traditional assignment methods with structural variations within the bundle of 0.6 Angstrom and 1.3 Angstrom for backbone and heavy atoms, respectively. Almost all constraints (97%) of the automatic NOESY cross peak assignments were cross compatible with the structures from the conventional manual assignment procedure, and an even larger proportion (99%) of the manually derived constraints were compatible with the automatically determined 3D structures. The two mean structures determined by both methods differed only by 1.3 Angstrom rmsd for the backbone atoms in the well-defined regions of the protein.

A mathematical programming approach is adopted, based on a hyperstructure representation of the mass exchange network. The synthesis problem is then formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming optimization problem (MINLP), where both network operating and investment cost are optimized simultaneously. In contrast to all previously published work that simplifies the problem by assuming decomposition based on the concept of 'pinch', this paper treats the synthesis of mass exchange networks without decomposition. In the first part, the case of a single component is examined, whereas mass exchange in multiple components can be handled in a straightforward manner. In the second part the approach is applied to reactive mass exchange networks, where chemical sorption takes place. In the third part, the mass exchange hyperstructure is extended to include regeneration of the lean streams. A number of examples illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach to several problems of waste minimization and demonstrate the impact of simultaneously minimizing operating and investment cost.

Phys. Chem. B}, + abstract = {Global energy optimization of a molecular system is difficult due to the well-known "multiple minimum" problem. The rugged potential energy surface (PES) characteristic of multidimensional systems can be transformed reversibly using potential smoothing to generate a new surface that is easier to search for favorable configurations. The diffusion equation method (DEM) is one example of a potential smoothing algorithm. Potential smoothing as implemented in DEM is intuitively appealing and has certain appropriate statistical mechanical properties, but often fails to identify the global minimum even for relatively small problems. In the present paper, extensions to DEM capable of correcting its empirical behavior are systematically investigated. Two types of local search (LS) procedures are applied during the reversing schedule from the smooth deformed PES to the undeformed surface. Changes needed to generate smoothable versions of standard molecular mechanics force fields such as AMBER/OPLS and MM2 are also described. The resulting methods are applied in an attempt to determine the global energy minimum for a variety of systems in different coordinate representations. The problems studied include argon clusters, cycloheptadecane, capped polyalanine, and the docking of a-helices. Depending on the specific problem, potential smoothing and search (PSS) is performed in Cartesian, torsional, or rigid body space. For example, PSS finds a very low energy structure for cycloheptadecane with much greater efficiency than a search restricted to the undeformed potential surface. It is shown that potential smoothing is characterized by three salient features. As the level of smoothing is increased, unique minima merge into a common basin, crossings can occur in the relative energies of a pair of minima, and the spatial locations of minima are shifted due to the averaging effects of smoothing. Local search procedures improve the ability of smoothing methods to locate global minima because they facilitate the post facto correction of errors due to energy crossings that may have occurred at higher levels of smoothing. PSS methods should serve as useful tools for global energy optimization on a variety of difficult problems of practical interest. [References: 68] 68}, + keywords = {Diffusion equation method.

In discrete (or combinatorial) optimization many approaches have been developed recently that link the discrete universe to the continuous universe through geometric, analytic, and algebraic techniques. Such techniques include global optimization formulations, semidefinite programming, and spectral theory. As a result new approximate algorithms have been discovered and many new computational approaches have been developed. Similarly, for many continuous nonconvex optimization problems, new approximate algorithms have been developed based on semidefinite programming and new randomization techniques. On the other hand, computational complexity, originating from the interactions between computer science and numerical optimization, is one of the major theories that have revolutionized the approach to solving optimization problems and to analyzing their intrinsic difficulty. The main focus of complexity is the study of whether existing algorithms are efficient for the solution of problems, and which problems are likely to be tractable. The quest for developing efficient algorithms leads also to elegant general approaches for solving optimization problems, and reveals surprising connections among problems and their solutions.

The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter of this blend is weakly negative, and the glass transitions of the pure components are quite disparate (Delta T-g = 125 K). PS/PVME blends have been found to be consistently thermorheologically complex at both the segmental and terminal levels: the empirical time-temperature superposition (tTS) principle applies to neither their oscillatory shear response nor their dielectric response. Using the tube model, we quantitatively compare dielectric and mechanical results. At low temperatures, the effective time scale for motion of a Kuhn segment (the shortest Rouse mode) is near the long-time end of the distribution of segmental relaxation times of PVME, in both the pure and blended states. The slowest relaxing segments thus control the longer-time relaxation processes of the chains. Miscible blends with weak interactions and large Delta T-g have concentration fluctuations that broaden the distribution of segmental relaxation times. This distribution narrows as the temperature is raised in the blend, leading to the failure of tTS for terminal dynamics. [References: 88] 88}, + keywords = {Time-temperature superposition.

We find that the effect of confinement on the length scale of the chain relaxation shows both in the breadth and in the dynamics. In all cases the PI normal mode within the pores is significantly broadened with respect to bulk PI. The effect on the dynamics was found to depend on the size of the chain with respect to the pore radius.

The learning system considered here is a feedforward connectionist network of generalized learning automata units. We show that REINFORCE is a gradient ascent algorithm but can exhibit unbounded behavior. A modified version of this algorithm, based on constrained optimization techniques, is suggested to overcome this disadvantage. The modified algorithm is shown to exhibit local optimization properties. A global version of the algorithm, based on constant temperature heat bath techniques, is also described and shown to converge to the global maximum. All algorithms are analyzed using weak convergence techniques.

The united-residue energy function used in this procedure includes multibody interactions from a cumulant expansion of the free energy of polypeptide chains, with their relative weights determined by Z-score optimization. The critical initial stage of the hierarchical procedure involves a search of conformational space by the conformational space annealing (CSA) method, followed by optimization of an all-atom model. The procedure was assessed in a recent blind test of protein structure prediction (CASP4). The resulting lowest-energy structures of the target proteins (ranging in size from 70 to 244 residues) agreed with the experimental structures in many respects. The entire experimental structure of a cyclic [Alpha]-helical protein of 70 residues was predicted to within 4.3 [Angstrom] [Alpha]-carbon ([C.sup.[Alpha]]) rms deviation (rmsd) whereas, for other [Alpha]-helical proteins, fragments of roughly 60 residues were predicted to within 6.0 [Angstrom] [C.sup.[Alpha]] rmsd. Whereas [Beta] structures can now be predicted with the new procedure, the success rate for [Alpha]/[Beta]- and [Beta]-proteins is lower than that for [Alpha]-proteins at present. For the [Beta] portions of [Alpha]/[Beta] structures, the [C.sup.[Alpha]] rmsd's are less than 6.0 [Angstrom] for contiguous fragments of 30-40 residues; for one target, three fragments (of length 10, 23, and 28 residues, respectively) formed a compact part of the tertiary structure with a [C.sup.[Alpha]] rmsd less than 6.0 [Angstrom].

The algorithm is iterative, a quadratic model Q˜F being required at the beginning of each iteration, which is used in a trust region procedure for adjusting the variables. When Q is revised, the new Q interpolates F at m points, the value m = 2n + 1 being recommended. The remaining freedom in the new Q is taken up by minimizing the Frobenius norm of the change to ?2Q. Only one interpolation point is altered on each iteration. Thus, except for occasional origin shifts, the amount of work per iteration is only of order (m+n)2, which allows n to be quite large. Many questions were addressed during the development of NEWUOA, for the achievement of good accuracy and robustness.

Next the concept of the stability margin is extended to a class of nonlinear systems.

Crystallization has been observed in real time by light microscopy. Detailed structural information was obtained by atomic force microscopy, mainly enabled by the large viscoelastic contrast between amorphous and crystalline regions. The behavior in thin films is compared to the bulk properties of the polymer. Crystallization started from an annealed microphase separated melt where optical microscopy indicated a lamellar orientation parallel to the substrate. A small difference in the length of the crystallizable block produced significantly different crystallization behavior, both in the bulk and in thin films. For thin films of the shortest diblock copolymer (45% PEO content) and for an undercooling larger than about 10 degrees, crystallization created vertically oriented lamellae. These vertical lamellae could be preferentially aligned over several micrometers when crystallization occurred close to a three-phase contact line. Annealing at temperatures closer to the melting point or keeping the sample at room temperature for several months allowed the formation of a lamellar structure parallel to the substrate. A tentative interpretation based on kinetically caused chain folding and relaxation within the crystalline state, with implications on general aspects of polymer crystallization, is presented.

Under this metric, protein chains naturally separate into fold clusters. We use SGM to construct an automatic classification procedure for the CATH2.4 database. The method is very fast because it requires neither alignment of the chains nor any chain-chain comparison. It also has only one adjustable parameter. We assign 95.51% of the chains into the proper C (class), A (architecture), T (topology), and H (homologous superfamily) fold, find all new folds, and detect no false geometric positives. Using the SGM, we display a "map" of the space of folds projected onto two dimensions, show the relative locations of the major structural classes, and "zoom into" the space of proteins to show architecture, topology, and fold clusters.

A chlorine-catalyzed oxidative pyrolysis mechanism is used in the calculations, in which two mechanistic pathways to the C-2 products were examined. One involves CH3Cl and/or CH2Cl, and the other involves C2H6 and/or C2H5 as reaction intermediates. Optimal control designs were performed with respect to the final mass fractions of ethylene and acetylene in a plug flow reactor using heat, oxygen, and chlorine fluxes as controls. The simulation results show that for the temperatures (1200 K < T < 1900 K) and pressure (P = 1 atm) considered, C2H4 is formed initially, which is subsequently converted to C2H2. Because of the abundant supply of H-2 formed during the reaction, it is possible to reform C2H4 from C2H2 by controlled extraction of energy. The heat flux plays the most important role in determining the final concentration of the desired C-2 products by controlling the temperature and the rate of H-atom radical generation, and thus, the interconversion between C2H2 and C2H4 through the C2H3 radical. The solutions obtained, although not proven to be globally optimal, are of very high quality. More than 40% yield of the desired C-2 products, either ethylene or acetylene, can be obtained in all cases. [References: 32] 32}, + keywords = {Reaction-mechanism. Homogeneous pyrolysis.

In this paper we consider opposite problems connected with string non-inclusion relations: find the shortest string included in no string of a given finite language and find the longest string including no string of a given finite language. The predicate ''string alpha is not included in string beta'' is interpreted either as ''alpha is not a subsequence of beta'' or as ''alpha is not a substring of beta''. The main purpose is to determine the complexity status of the non-similarity problems. Using graph approaches, we present NP-hardness proofs for the first interpretation and polynomial-time algorithms for the second one. Special cases of the problems, and related issues are discussed.

We present two global optimization 'success stories' based on the application of global optimization techniques to two design problems. The first application deals with the design of just-in-time flowshops. On a collection of nine problem instances with only four degrees of freedom, global optimization provides solutions that average 17% cost savings compared to designs identified earlier in the literature using local search techniques. The second application deals with design at the molecular level and involves a considerably larger design space for identifying a replacement of Freon. The problem is difficult and has been approached by numerous research groups in the past. Global optimization identifies many novel molecular structures. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Res}, + abstract = {The reactor network synthesis problem involves determining the type, size, and interconnections of the reactor units, optimal concentration and temperature profiles, and the heat load requirements of the process. A general framework is presented for the synthesis of optimal chemical reactor networks via an optimization approach. The possible design alternatives are represented via a process superstructure which includes continuous stirred-tank reactors and cross-flow reactors along with mixers and splitters that connect the units. The superstructure is mathematically modeled using differential and algebraic constraints, and the resulting problem is formulated as an optimal control problem. The solution methodology for addressing the optimal control formulation involves the application of a control parametrization approach where the selected control variables are discretized in terms of time-invariant parameters. The dynamic system is decoupled from the optimization and solved as a function of the time-invariant parameters. The algorithmic framework is implemented in the optimization package MINOPT, which is used as a tool for solving the reactor network synthesis problem. The proposed approach is applicable to general problem formulations, and its utility is illustrated through the application to numerous examples including both constant and variable density problems, isothermal and nonisothermal operation, and complex reaction mechanisms with the kinetic and thermodynamic data provided by Chemkin.

We have previously designed and synthesized a new family of [3]polynorbornane frameworks exhibiting conformationally preorganized (cleft-like) aromatic thiourea receptors for anion recognition. These show excellent affinity for the biologically relevant dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4-) and dihydrogen pyrophosphate (H2P2O72-) anions. Hydrogen bonding between the anion and the receptor results in changes in the 1H-NMR spectrum of the receptor and thus the extent of interaction between the two species can be monitored. This paper describes the design and synthesis of a new family of receptors, using indole, amide and thiourea moieties, linked by bridges of different lengths. Whilst examples exist where the pyrrole N-H is used for anion recogition, these are the first examples of synthetic molecules designed to employ the indole N-H for anion recognition. }, + keywords = {Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) +geometry optimization +molecular modelling +molecular structure}, + year = {2007} +} + + author = {Selim, S.

Conventional long-mixing time NOESY and H-bonding constraints have been augmented by previously reported short-mixing time NOESY, steady-state NOE, and cluster paramagnetism-induced relaxation. The family of 15 structures with inconsequential violations exhibited low rms deviations for backbone atoms for the overwhelming majority of the residues, including the cluster ligating loop with the unprecedented ligated Asp14. Larger rms deviations were observed across the disulfide bond, but closer inspection revealed that the 15 structures can be factored into 10 substructures exhibiting an "S" or right-handed disulfide orientation and 5 exhibiting an "R" or left-handed disulfide orientation. The remainder of the structure is indistinguishable for the two disulfide orientations but confirms stabilizing extensions of secondary structural elements in the lengthening of the long helix and both the lengthening and incorporation of a third strand into the beta-sheet involving the termini, with these extensions interacting strongly in a modular fashion through the rings of Tyr46 and Trp2. These extensions of stabilizing interactions in Pyrococcus furiosus Fd, however, lead to strong destabilization of the disulfide bond and destabilization of the highly conserved first and last beta-turns in the sequence. It is concluded that the structural alternations in Pyrococcus Fd relative to other hyperthermostable Fds are not to increase thermostability but to place "stress" on the disulfide bond and render it more reducible. The possible physiological implications of this unique reducible disulfide bond are discussed.}, + keywords = {iron-sulfur proteins +archaeon thermococcus-litoralis +4 redox states +secondary structure +4-iron ferredoxin +crystal-structure +Thermotoga-maritima +nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) +H-1-nmr spectroscopy +Desulfovibrio-gigas +electron transfer +nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) +NOESY spectra}, + year = {2002} +} + + author = {Shang, Y. and Wah, B.W.}, + title = {Global Optimization for Neural Network Training}, + journal = {IEEE Computer}, + volume = {29}, + pages = {45-54}, + year = {1996} +} + +@article{Shepetukha2001_MCM, + author = {Shepetukha, Y. and Olson, D.L.}, + title = {Comparative Analysis of Multiattribute Techniques Based on Cardinal and Ordinal Inputs}, + journal = {Mathematical and Computer Modelling}, + volume = {34}, + pages = {229-241}, + year = {2001} +} + + author = {Shi, Q.

Although approximation models constructed by response surface methodology can significantly reduce functional evaluations, the design accuracy may be strongly dependent on the type of activation functions and designs used. In this paper, we propose techniques to search the design space containing the global optimal design using designs by conditioned random seeds, and techniques for determining more accurate approximations by employing a sequential approach called the most probable optimal design (MPOD) method. The MPOD method is a response surface methodology based on the holographic neural network, which uses the exponential function as an activation function. In the MPOD method, extrapolation is employed to make the technique available for general application in structural optimization. The formula to estimate the necessary functional evaluations under certain conditions is expressed. Application examples show that the MPOD method is an effective methodology, which is expected to determine the optimal design with multiple local optima.

This article addresses the concept of breakdown in nonlinear regression. Because it is not invariant to nonlinear reparameterization, the usual definition of the breakdown point in linear regression is inadequate for nonlinear regression. The original definition of breakdown due to Hampel is more suitable for nonlinear problems but may indicate breakdown when the fitted values change very little. We introduce breakdown functions, which measure breakdown of the fitted values. Using the breakdown functions, we introduce a new definition of the breakdown point. For the linear regression model, our definition of the breakdown point coincides with the usual definition for linear regression as well as with Hampel's definition. For most nonlinear regression functions, we show that the breakdown point of the least squares estimator is 1/n. We prove that for a large class of unbounded regression functions, the breakdown point of the least median of squares or the least trimmed sum of squares estimator is close to 1/2. For monotonic regression functions of the type g(α + β x), where g is bounded above and/or below, we establish upper and lower bounds for the breakdown points that depend on the data.}, + year = {1992} +} + +@book{Strongin2000_book, + author = {Strongin, R.

This extension of its expressive capabilities transforms the decision tree into a powerful functional approximant that incorporates features of connectionist methods, while remaining easily interpretable. Fuzzification is achieved by superimposing a fuzzy structure over the skeleton of a CART decision tree. A training rule for fuzzy trees, similar to backpropagation in neural networks, is designed. This rule corresponds to a global optimization algorithm that fixes the parameters of the fuzzy splits. The method developed for the automatic generation of fuzzy decision trees is applied to both classification and regression problems. In regression problems, it is seen that the continuity constraint imposed by the function representation of the fuzzy tree leads to substantial improvements in the quality of the regression and limits the tendency to overfitting. In classification, fuzzification provides a means of uncovering the structure of the probability distribution for the classification errors in attribute space. This allows the identification of regions for which the error rate of the tree is significantly lower than the average error rate, sometimes even below the Bayes misclassification rate. +Index Terms--Automatic learning, decision trees, fuzzy set theory, global optimization, backpropagation, nonparametric regression, classification.}, + keywords = {Fuzzy sets Analysis +Regression analysis Models +Algorithms Usage +United States}, + year = {1999} +} + +@phdthesis{Sugeno1974, + author = {Sugeno, M.}, + title = {Theory of Fuzzy Integrals and Applications}, + university = {Tokyo Inst. of Technology}, + type = {PhD}, + year = {1974} +} + +@article{Sukharev1976, + author = {Sukharev, A.G. }, + title = {Optimal search for the roots of a function satisfying a Lipschitz condition}, + journal = {U.S.S.R.

Complete factorial design was used to investigate the effects of solvents and carrier on the oxidative chemiluminescence of phenylhydrazines in flow injection analysis. 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine gave a better analyte:blank signal than other phenylhyddrazines. Aqueous propan-2-ol was found to be the preferred solvent and aqueous formic acid containing no sensitiser the preferred carrier solution. Rhodamine B sensitiser enhanced all signals but, by it's effect on blank signals, reduced the signal to blank ratio. Simplex optimisation was carried out on six variables. The criterion was (A-B)/B where A and B are the analyte and blank signals, respectively; conditions giving analyte signals of relative standard deviation >10% were wliminated whatever the value of (A-B)/B. The optimum conditions were fine tuned by univariate exploration and emerged as 22% propan-2-ol in the sample, 0.75M formic acid carrier, 5.0x10-5M permanganate and 0.041M sulfuric acid as oxidant, 3.25 ml/min total flow rate and the water bath at 40C. These conditions can be explained in terms of a combination of flow rate and factors known to increase the rate of oxidation of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The effects of formic acid carrier andpropan-2-ol solvent are best understood in terms of their effects in enhancing the signal by energy transfer and diminishing it by competition for permanganate. The log-log calibration for 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in optimum conditions was linear (r=0.9972, n=10) from 1x10-7 to 2x10-5M; the detectivity was calculated at three standard deviations above blank was 1.1x10-7M (1.1pmol analyte). The method was found to be subject to interference from common metial ions from V to Zn in the periodic table, especially Fe(II), though EDTA largely corrected the latter effect.

Among all energy evaluation tools, only a local energy-minimization method using an accurate enough potential function is able to discriminate between native and normative structures. To meet these requirements, a Monte Carlo with energy-minimization method has been incorporated into a new ECEPP/3 docking program. The efficiency of the simulation results from the use of an energy-grid technique based on Bezier splines and from a simplification of the receptor by switching on the energy of only important residues of the active site. Simulations of a thrombin-inhibitor complex show that the global minimum of the energy function was reached in every independent run within less than 3 min of time on an IBM RX 6000 computer. For comparison, 10 standard independent Monte Carlo simulations with [10.sup.6] steps in each were carried out. Only three of them led to a conformation close to the x-ray structure. The latter simulations required an average of 24 min and about 10 hr with and without the grid, respectively. Another important result is that the Bezier spline technique not only speeds up the calculation by reducing the number of operations during the energy evaluation but also helps in reaching the global minimum by smoothing out the potential energy surface.}, + keywords = {Ligand binding (Biochemistry) Research +Thrombin Research +Monte Carlo method Usage}, + year = {1998} +} + +@article{Tsadiras1999_FSS, + author = {Tsadiras, A.K. and Margaritis, K.G. }, + title = {The MYCIN certainty factor handling function as uninorm operator and its use as a threshold function in artificial neurons}, + journal = {Fuzzy Sets and Systems}, + volume = {93}, + pages = {263--274}, + year = {1999} +} + +@book{Tsay2002_book, + author = {Tsay, R.S.}, + title = {Analysis of Financial Time Series}, + publisher = {Wiley}, + address = {New-York}, + year = {2002} +} + +@incollection{Uncu2007_inbook, + author = {Uncu, O and Elghoneimy, E. and Gruver, W.A. and Kotak, D.B. and Fleetwood, M.}, + title = {Identifying aggregation weights of decision criteria: {A}pplication of fuzzy systems to wood product manufacturing}, + booktitle = {Forging New Frontiers: Fuzzy Pioneers I}, + editor = {Nikravesh, M. and Kacprzyk, J. and Zadeh, L.}, + publisher = {Springer}, + address = {Berlin, New York}, + pages = {415-435 }, + year = {2007} +} + +@article{Uranus2001, + author = {Uranus, H.P. and Tjia, M.O.}, + title = {Refractive index profile reconstruction of planar waveguides from its mode intensity using characteristic matrix mehod}, + journal = {J.

Following a review of the recent literature on modified barrier function approaches for nonlinear optimization, the steps of a proposed algorithm are examined in full detail. The basic steps of this algorithm comprise an outer iteration, in which the Lagrange multipliers and various penalty parameters are updated, and an inner iteration, in which an unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem is solved. The algorithm presented has been implemented in a general-purpose routine which is denoted as MBFSOL. Numerical results are presented for a variety of problems, from small to very large-scale. The examples show the effectiveness of the algorithm in very large problems, particularly in bound constrained case studies of up to many thousands of variables and severe ill-conditioning.

But despite this, many of them can be inordinately influenced by two properly placed outliers. With one predictor, an estimator that appears to correct this problem to a fair degree, and simultaneously maintain good efficiency when standard assumptions are met, consists of checking for outliers using a projection-type method, removing any that are found, and applying the Theil – Sen estimator to the data that remain. When dealing with multiple predictors, there are two generalizations of the Theil – Sen estimator that might be used, but nothing is known about how their small-sample properties compare. Also, there are no results on testing the hypothesis of zero slopes, and there is no information about the effect on efficiency when outliers are removed. In terms of hypothesis testing, using the more obvious percentile bootstrap method in conjunction with a slight modification of Mahalanobis distance was found to avoid Type I error probabilities above the nominal level, but in some situations the actual Type I error probabilities can be substantially smaller than intended when the sample size is small. An alternative method is found to be more satisfactory. }, + year = {2004} +} + + author = {Wilkinson, Barry and Allen, C.

Glob. Optim}, + abstract = {Engineering design problems often involve global optimization of functions that are supplied as 'black box' functions. These functions may be nonconvex, nondifferentiable and even discontinuous. In addition, the decision variables may be a combination of discrete and continuous variables. The functions are usually computationally expensive, and may involve finite element methods. An engineering example of this type of problem is to minimize the weight of a structure, while limiting strain to be below a certain threshold. This type of global optimization problem is very difficult to solve, yet design engineers must find some solution to their problem - even if it is a suboptimal one. Sometimes the most difficult part of the problem is finding any feasible solution. Stochastic methods, including sequential random search and simulated annealing, are finding many applications to this type of practical global optimization problem. Improving Hit-and-Run (MR) is a sequential random search method that has been successfully used in several engineering design applications, such as the optimal design of composite structures. A motivation to IHR is discussed as well as several enhancements. The enhancements include allowing both continuous and discrete variables in the problem formulation. This has many practical advantages, because design variables often involve a mixture of continuous and discrete values. IHR and several variations have been applied to the composites design problem. Some of this practical experience is discussed. [References: 38] 38}, + keywords = {Adaptive search. Global optimization.

These two methods will be first analyzed in detail by using sensitivity analysis on the outputs of the OWA with respect to the optimism degree of the decision maker, and then the two methods will be compared. The fuzzy linguistic quantifiers approach gives more information about the behavior of the OWA outputs in comparison to the minimal variability method. However, in using the minimal variability method, the OWA has a linear behavior with respect to the optimism degree, and, therefore, it has better computation efficiency. Since maximizing the combined goodness measure and minimizing its sensitivity to optimism degree are conflicting objectives, a new composite measure of goodness will be defined to have more reliability in obtaining optimal solutions.

In robust regression the unusual observations should be removed from the sample in order to obtain better fitting for the rest of the observations. Based on the LTS estimate, we propose a penalized trimmed square estimator PTS, where penalty costs for discarding outliers are inserted into the loss function. We search for suitable penalty costs for multiple high-leverage outliers, which are based on robust leverage and scale. Thus, the best fit for the majority of the data is obtained after eliminating only outliers from the data set. The robust estimation is obtained by minimizing the loss function with a mathematical programming technique, computationally suitable for small sample data. The computational load and the effectiveness of the new procedure are improved by using the idea of e-insensitive tube from support vectors machine regression. The PTS loss function is transformed to an e-Insensitive, where small errors are ignored, and the mathematical formula gains the sparseness property. The good performance of the PTS estimator allows identification of multiple outliers avoiding masking or swamping effects. We conduct benchmark examples and a simulation study to investigate the procedure’s efficiency for robust estimation and power as outlier detection. As a result, the performance of both types of PTS is superior to other methods and is worth the extra computational load.}, + year = {2005} +} + + author = {Zou, Mou-Yan and Zou, Xi}, + title = {Global Optimization: An Auxiliary Cost Function Approach}, + journal = {IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics--Part A: Systems and Humans}, + volume = {30}, + number = {3}, + pages = {347}, + abstract = {An efficient and practical solution to a class of global function optimization is proposed.

Constrained splines are particularly popular because of their flexibility in modelling different geometrical shapes, sound theoretical properties and availability of numerically stable algorithms \cite{Dierckx1995_book,Schumaker1981_book,deboor2001_book}. +% It is surprising though that few parallel spline algorithms are available. +In this work we examine parallelisation and adaptation for GPUs of a few algorithms of monotone spline interpolation and data smoothing, which arose in the context of estimating probability distributions. + +Estimating cumulative probability distribution functions (cdf) from data is quite common in data analysis. In our particular case we faced this problem in the context of partitioning univariate data with the purpose of efficient sorting. It was required to partition large data sets into chunks of approximately equal size, so that these chunks could be sorted independently and subsequently concatenated. In order to do that, empirical cdf of the data was used to find the quantiles, which served to partition the data. Cdf was estimated from the data based on a number of pairs $(x_i,y_i), i=1,\ldots,n$, where $y_i$ was the proportion of data no larger than $x_i$. As data could come from a variety of distributions, a distribution-free nonparametric fitting procedure was required to interpolate the above pairs. Needless to say that the whole process was aimed at GPU, and hence the use of CPU for invoking serial algorithms had to be minimised. + +The above mentioned application is one of many examples (e.g. mass spectrography \cite{Kearsley_2006}, global warming data \cite{Yohai} and so on) where univariate data needs to be fitted by monotonicity preserving interpolants. Of course, cdf is a monotone increasing function, whose inverse, called quantile function, can be used to calculate the quantiles. Spline interpolation would be the most suitable nonparametric method to fit the cdf, except that polynomial splines do not preserve monotonicity of the data, as illustrated on Figure \ref{ch11:fig1}. + +The failure of splines to preserve monotonicity has prompted fundamental research in this area since 1960s. One of the first methods to remedy this problem were splines in tension by Schweikert \cite{Sch}, where a tension parameter controlled the shape of exponential splines \cite{Spath1969}. Later on several monotonicity preserving polynomial spline algorithms were proposed \cite{Schumaker1983,PasRoul1977,AndElf1987,Andersson1991_JAT,McAllister1981_ACM,PasRoul1977}. These algorithms typically rely on introducing additional spline knots between the abscissae of the data. Algorithmic developments are active to this day, see for example \cite{Kvasov2000_book,Abbas2011}. + +When in addition to the pairs $(x_i, y_i)$ the slopes of the function are available, i.e., the data comes in triples $(x_i, y_i, p_i)$, the interpolation problem is called Hermite, and the Hermite splines are used. However, even when the sequence $y_i$ is increasing and the slopes $p_i$ are non-negative, cubic Hermite splines may still fail to be monotone, as illustrated in Figure \ref{ch11:fig2}. Thus monotone Hermite splines are needed \cite{Gregory1982}. + +Another issue with monotone approximation is noisy data. In this case, inaccuracies in the data make the input sequence $y_i$ itself non-monotone, and hence monotone spline interpolation algorithms will fail. Monotone spline smoothing algorithms are available, e.g. \cite{Andersson1991_JAT,Elfving1989_NM}. Such algorithms are based on solving a quadratic (or another convex) programming problem numerically, and have not been yet adapted to parallel processing. + +In this work we examined several monotone spline fitting algorithms, and selected the ones that we believe are most suitable for parallelisation on GPUs. We paid attention to numerical efficiency in terms of numerical calculations and memory access pattern, and favoured one-pass algorithms. We also looked at smoothing noisy data, and developed a parallel version of the Minimum Lower Sets algorithm for isotonic regression problem \cite{Best1990, Robertson_book}. + +The rest of the chapter is organised as follows. Section \ref{ch11:splines} discusses monotone spline interpolation methods and presents two parallel algorithms. Section \ref{ch11:smoothing} deals with smoothing problem. It presents isotonic regression problem and discusses the Pool Adjacent Violators (PAV) and Minimum Lower Sets (MLS) algorithms. Combined with monotone spline interpolation, the parallel MLS method makes it possible to build a monotone spline approximation to noisy data entirely on GPU. Section \ref{ch11:conc} concludes. + +\begin{figure}[h] +\centering +\includegraphics[angle=0,width=8cm]{Chapters/chapter11/gregory1_plot1.pdf} +\caption{Cubic spline (solid) and monotone quadratic spline (dashed) interpolating monotone data from \cite{Gregory1982}.

An example of a spline is broken line interpolation. Typically polynomial splines are used, and the first (and often second) derivatives of the polynomial pieces are required to match at the knots. The knots of the splines are usually the abscissae of the input data, although this condition is not always required (e.g., splines with free knots \cite{Jupp_1978,Dierckx1995_book,Beliakov2003_amc}). + +Polynomial splines are often represented in the B-spline basis, in which case their coefficients are computed from the input data by solving a banded system of linear equations \cite{Lyche1973, Dierckx1995_book, deboor2001_book}. Tridiagonal systems arise in cubic spline interpolation, while pentadiagonal systems arise in cubic spline smoothing \cite{Lyche1973}. Spline possess important extremal properties \cite{Holladay1957,Lyche1973}, in particular splines of degree $2m-1$ are the most ``smooth" functions that interpolate (or approximate, in the least squares sense) the data. The smoothness term is Tihkonov regularisation functional, the $L_2$ norm of the $m$-th derivative of the interpolant \cite{Lyche1973}. + +When the data are known to come from a monotone function, the interpolant needs to be monotone as well. Even if the sequence of data ordinates $y_i, i=1,\ldots,n$ is non-decreasing, cubic (and higher degree) interpolating splines are not necessarily monotone, an example is shown in Figure \ref{ch11:fig1}. To deal with the problem of extraneous inflection points, Schweikert \cite{Sch} proposed splines in tension, which are piecewise exponential functions. Splines in tension were further explored in \cite{Spath1969, SapKak1988, SapKakLouk1988} and many subsequent works. + +\subsection{Monotone quadratic splines} + +For polynomial splines, monotone or otherwise constrained splines were developed in \cite{Schumaker1983,AndElf1987,Andersson1991_JAT,McAllister1981_ACM,PasRoul1977}. Two monotone quadratic spline algorithms were published in the early 1980s \cite{McAllister1981_ACM, Schumaker1983}. Both algorithms are based on introducing additional interpolation knots under certain conditions, to facilitate preservation of monotonicity of the data. McAllister and Roulier's algorithm \cite{McAllister1981_ACM} introduces at most two extra knots between two neighbouring data, while Schumaker's algorithm \cite{Schumaker1983} introduces only one extra knot. In addition, Schumaker's algorithm is one pass, which is particularly suited for parallelisation, as no system of equations needs to be solved. While parallel tridiagonal linear systems solvers have been developed for GPUs \cite{tridiag_GPU}, the obvious advantage of a one-pass algorithm is the speed. +Because of that, we chose Schumaker's algorithm for GPU parallelisation. + +Let us formally describe Schumaker's algorithm, with Butland's slopes \cite{Butland1980}. +The spline is a piecewise quadratic polynomial in the form +$$ +s(x)=\alpha_i+\beta_i(x-t_i)+\gamma_i(x-t_i)^2, \quad x \in [t_i,t_{i+1}], i=1,\ldots,T, +$$ +where the knot sequence ${t_i}$ is obtained from the data ${x_i}$ by inserting at most one additional knot per subinterval. Let $\delta_i=(y_{i+1}-y_i)/(x_{i+1}-x_i), i=1,\ldots,n-1$. We define Butland's slopes for $i=2,\ldots,n-1$ as +$$ +d_i=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} + \frac{2\delta_{i-1}\delta_i}{\delta_{i-1}+\delta_i}, & \mbox{if } \delta_{i-1}\delta_i>0, \\ + 0 & \mbox{otherwise}. + \end{array} + \right. +$$ +The first and the last Butland's slopes are +$$ +d_1=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} + 2\delta_{1}-d_2, & \mbox{if } \delta_{1}(2\delta_1-d_2)>0, \\ + 0 & \mbox{otherwise}, + \end{array} + \right. \; + d_n=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} + 2\delta_{n-1}-d_{n-1}, & \mbox{if } \delta_{n-1}(2\delta_{n-1}-d_{n-1})>0,\\ + 0 & \mbox{otherwise}. + \end{array} + \right. +$$ + +When $d_i+d_{i+1}=2\delta_i$, then a single quadratic polynomial interpolates the data on $[x_i,x_{i+1}]$ and $t_i=x_i$ $\alpha_i=y_i, \beta_i=d_i, \gamma_i=\frac{d_{i+1}-d_i}{2(x_{i+1}-x_i)}$. otherwise an additional knot $t_i$ is required, and +\begin{eqnarray*} +\alpha_{i}&=&y_{i}, \beta_{i}=d_{i}, \gamma_{i}=\frac{(\bar{d}_{i}-d_{i})}{2(t_{i}-x_{i})}, x\in\left [ x_{i},t_{i} \right ],\\ +\bar{\alpha}_{i}&=&y_{i}+d_{i}(t_{i}-x_{i})+\frac{(\bar{d}_{i}-d_{i})}{2(t_{i}-x_{i})}, \bar{\beta}_{i}=\bar{d}_{i}, \bar{\gamma}_{i}=\frac{(d_{i+1}-\bar{d}_{i})}{2(x_{i+1}-t_{i})}, x\in\left [ t_{i},x_{i+1} \right ], +\end{eqnarray*} +where +$$ +\bar{d}_{i}=(2{\delta}_{i}-d_{i+1})+\frac{(d_{i+1}-d_{i})(t_{i}-x_{i})}{(x_{i+1}-x_{i})}. +$$ + +The position of the additional knot is selected as follows +$$ +t_{i}= +\begin{cases} + x_{i+1}+\frac{(d_{i}-{\delta}_{i})(x_{i+1}-x_{i})}{(d_{i+1}-d_{i})},& \text{ if } (d_{i+1}-{\delta}_{i})(d_{i}-{\delta}_{i})< 0, \\ +\frac{1}{2}(x_{i+1}+x_{i}) & \text{ otherwise. } +\end{cases} +$$ + +It is almost straightforward to parallelise this scheme for GPUs, by processing each subinterval $[x_i,x_{i+1}]$ independently in a separate thread. However, it is not known in advance whether an extra knot $t_i$ needs to be inserted or not, and therefore calculation of the position of the knot in the output sequence of knots ${t_i}$ is problematic for parallel implementation (for a sequential algorithm no such issue arises). To avoid serialisation, we decided to insert an additional knot in every interval $[x_i,x_{i+1}]$, but set $t_i=x_i$ when the extra knot is not actually needed. This way we know in advance the position of the output knots and the length of this sequence is $2(n-1)$, and therefore all calculations can now be performed independently. The price we pay is that some of the spline knots can coincide. However, this does not affect spline evaluation, as one of the coinciding knots is simply disregarded, and the spline coefficients are replicated (so for a double knot $t_i=t_{i+1}$, we have $\alpha_i=\alpha_{i+1}$, $\beta_i=\beta_{i+1}$, $\gamma_i=\gamma_{i+1}$). Our implementation is presented in Figures \ref{ch11:algcoef}-\ref{ch11:algcoef1}. + +At the spline evaluation stage we need to compute $s(z_k)$ for a sequence of query values ${z_k}, k=1,\ldots,K$. For each $z_k$ we locate the interval $[t_i,t_{i+1}]$ containing $z_k$, using bisection algorithm presented in Figure \ref{ch11:algeval}, and then apply the appropriate coefficients of the quadratic function. This is also done in parallel. +The bisection algorithm could be implemented using texture memory (to cache the array \texttt{z}), but this is not shown in Figure \ref{ch11:algeval}. + +\begin{figure}[!hp] +\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1} + \begin{alltt} +\begin{center} +\begin{minipage}{13cm}\small + +template +\_\_global\_\_ void CalculateCoefficientsKnots( Tx *u, Ty *v, double *b, double *c, + double *t, double *alpha, double *beta, double *gamma, int N ) +\{ + int tid = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x; + int s = tid*2; + while(tid<=(N-2)) + \{ + // decide whether an additional knot is necessary + if(fabs(c[tid]+c[tid+1]- 2*b[tid])<=0.1e-5) // tolerance + \{ //no additional knot + h[s]=h[s+1]=u[tid]; + alpha[s]=alpha[s+1]=v[tid]; + beta[s]=beta[s+1]=c[tid]; + gamma[s]=gamma[s+1]=(c[tid+1]-c[tid])/(2*(fmax(1e-10,u[tid+1]-u[tid]))); + \} else \{ //adding a knot + h[s]=u[tid]; + //determine the position of the knot + if((c[tid+1] - b[tid])*(c[tid] - b[tid])<0) + h[s+1]=u[tid+1] + (c[tid] - b[tid])*(fmax(1e-10,u[tid+1]-u[tid]))/ + fmax(1e-10,(c[tid+1] - c[tid])); + else + h[s+1]=0.5*(u[tid+1] + u[tid]); + //calculate coefficients + double dtemp = (2*b[tid] - c[tid+1])+((c[tid+1] - c[tid])*(h[s+1] - u[tid]))/ + fmax(1e-10,(u[tid+1] - u[tid])); + alpha[s]=v[tid]; beta[s]=c[tid]; + gamma[s]=(dtemp - c[tid])/(2*fmax(1e-10,(h[s+1] - u[tid]))); + alpha[s+1]=v[tid] + c[tid]*(h[s+1] - u[tid]) + + (dtemp - c[tid])*(h[s+1] - u[tid])/2; + gamma[s+1]=(c[tid+1] - dtemp)/(2*fmax(1e-10,(u[tid+1] - h[s+1]))); + beta[s+1]=dtemp; + \} + tid += blockDim.x * gridDim.x; s = tid*2; + \} + \_\_syncthreads(); + // Select a single thread to perform the last operation + if((threadIdx.x ) == 0) \{ + s = (N-1) * 2; h[s]=u[N-1]; + \} + \_\_syncthreads(); +\} +\end{minipage} +\end{center} +\end{alltt} +\caption{Implementation of the kernel for calcuating spline knots and coefficients.

In our motivating application of cdf estimation, the values $p_i$ are easily obtained together with $y_i$, and their use may help to build a more accurate interpolant. +Of course, for monotone non-decreasing functions we must have $p_i\geq 0$. However this does not guarantee that the spline interpolant is monotone, as can be seen in Figure \ref{ch11:fig2}. Fritsch and Carlson \cite{Fritsch1980} show that non-negative $p_i$ is not a sufficient condition to guarantee monotonicity, and design a process for modification of derivatives, so that the necessary and sufficient conditions for monotonicity of a piecewise cubic are met. Hence the values $p_i$ are not matched exactly. In contrast, Gregory and Delbourgo \cite{Gregory1982} design piecewise rational quadratic spline, for which the non-negativity of $p_i$ is both necessary and sufficient condition. + +The rational quadratic spline in \cite{Gregory1982} is constructed as +$$ +s(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} + \frac{P_i(\theta)}{Q_i(\theta)}, & \mbox{if } \Delta_{i}\neq 0, \\ + y_i & \mbox{otherwise}, + \end{array} + \right. +$$ +where +$$ +\theta=(x-x_i)/(x_{i+1}-x_i), \quad \Delta_i=(y_{i+1}-y_i)/(x_{i+1}-x_i), +$$ +and +$$ +P_i(\theta)/Q_i(\theta)=y_i+\frac{(y_{i+1}-y_i)[\Delta_i \theta^2+p_i \theta (1-\theta)]}{\Delta_i+(p_{i+1}+p_i-2\Delta_i)\theta(1-\theta)}. +$$ + +This rational spline is continuously differentiable and interpolates both the values $y_i$ and the derivatives $p_i$. Its derivative is given by +$$ +s'(x)=\Delta_i^2[p_{i+1}\theta^2+2\Delta_i \theta(1-\theta)+p_i (1-\theta)^2]/Q_i(\theta)^2, +$$ +with +$$ +Q_i(\theta)= \Delta_i+(p_{i+1}+p_i-2\Delta_i)\theta(1-\theta), +$$ +provided $\Delta_i \neq 0$ ( $s'(x)=0$ otherwise), and this expression is non-negative. + +It is clear that Gregory and Delbourgo's Hermite interpolant is trivially parallel, and the parameters $h_i=x_{i+1}-x_i$ and $\Delta_i$ are easily computed in a simple kernel. Evaluation of the spline and its derivative is accomplished by locating the interval containing the query point $x$ using bisection, as in Figure \ref{ch11:algeval}, and applying the above mentioned formulas. + + +\section{Smoothing noisy data via parallel isotone regression} \label{ch11:smoothing} + +Inaccuracies in the data are common in practice, and need to be accounted for during spline approximation process. Smoothing polynomial splines were presented in \cite{Lyche1973}, where the data are fitted in the least squares sense while also minimising the $L_2$ norm of the $m-$th derivative of the spline. Monotone smoothing splines were dealt with in several works, in particular we mention \cite{Andersson1991_JAT,Elfving1989_NM}. The presented algorithms rely on solving quadratic programming problems. Monotone approximating splines with fixed knots distinct form the data have been presented in \cite{Beliakov2000_ata}, where an instance of a quadrating programming problem is solved as well. + +Another approach consists in monotonising the data, so that the sequence $y_i$ becomes monotone. This approach is known as isotone regression \cite{Best1990, Robertson_book}. It is different from monotone spline smoothing, as the regularisation term controlling the $L_2$ norm of the $m-$the derivative is not taken into account. Usually the data is monotonised by minimising the squared differences to the inputs. It becomes a quadratic programming problem, usually solved by active sets methods \cite{Best1990}. +A popular PAV algorithm (PAVA) is one method that provides efficient numerical solution. + + PAVA consists of the following steps. The sequence ${y_i}$ is processed form the start. If violation of monotonicity $y_i>y_{i+1}$ is found, both values $y_i$ and $y_{i+1}$ are replaced with their average $y'_i$, and both values form a block. Since the new value $y'_i$ is smaller than $y_i$, monotonicity may become violated with respect to the datum $y_{i-1}$. If this is the case, the $i-1$st, $i$th and $i+1$st data are merged into a block and their values are replaced with their average. We continue back-average as needed to get monotonicity. + +Various serial implementations of the PAVA exist. It is noted \cite{Kearsley_2006} that in PAVA, which is based on the ideas from convex analysis, a decomposition theorem holds, namely performing PAVA separately on two contiguous subsets of data, and then performing PAVA on the result produces isotonic regression on the whole data set. Thus isotonic regression is parallelisable, and divide-and-conquer approach, decomposing the original problem into two smaller subproblems, can be implemented on multiple processors. However, to our knowledge, no parallel PAVA for many-core systems such as GPUs exist. + +Another approach to isotonic regression is called the Minimum Lower Sets algorithm (MLS) \cite{Best1990, Robertson_book}. It provides the same solution as the PAVA, but works differently. For each datum (or block), MLS selects the largest contiguous block of subsequent data with the smallest average. If this average is smaller than that of the preceding block, the blocks are merged, and the data in the block are replaced with their average. MLS is also an active set method \cite{Best1990}, but its complexity is $O(n^2)$ as opposed to $O(n)$ of the PAVA, and of another active set algorithm proposed in \cite{Best1990} under the name Algorithm A. + +In terms of GPU parallelisation, neither PAVA nor Algorithm A appear to be suitable, as the techniques that achieve $O(n)$ complexity are inheritably serial. +In this work we focused on parallelising MLS. First, we precompute the values +$$ +z_i=\sum_{j=i}^n y_i +$$ +and $z_{n+1}=0$ +using parallel partial sum algorithm (\texttt{scan} algorithm from Thrust \cite{Thrust} library). +From these values we can compute the averages of the blocks of data with the indices $\{i,i+1,\ldots,j\}$ +\begin{equation} \label{ch11:eq1} +P_{ij}=\frac{1}{j-i+1}\sum_{k=i}^j y_k = \frac{1}{j-i+1} (z_i-z_{j+1}) +\end{equation} + +As per MLS algorithm, for each fixed $i$ from 1 to $n$ we compute the smallest $P_{ij}$ starting from $j=i+1$ and fix the index $j^*$. If $y_i>P_{ij^*}$, we replace the values $y_i,\ldots,y_{j^*}$ with their average $P_{ij^*}$ otherwise we keep the value $y_i$. In case of replacement, we advance $i$ to position $j^*+1$. We check the condition $y_i>P_{i,j^*}$ to form a block, which is equivalent to $y_i>P_{i+1,j^*}$ as $P_{ij}=\frac{1}{j-i+1}((j-i) P_{i+1,j}+y_i)$, from which we deduce both inequalities hold simultaneously. + +%Also we note that $y_{j^*}\leq P_{ij^*}$, which means we + +%First let us see that the above algorithm computes the same output as PAVA, and then look at its parallelisation. Note that $y_i\leq P_{ij} \leq P_{ik}, k=i+1,\ldots,n$, implies $y_i\leq y_k, k=i+1,\ldots,n$ and hence $y_i$ does not violate monotonicity with respect to neither the data $y_k$ nor their potential averages (at the back-averaging step), and hence needs no replacement. Then, consider step $j$ of the PAVA. It back-averages the values $y_k, k=j, j-1,\ldots, i$, for which $y_i>P_{i+1,j}$, and replaces them with $P_{i,j}$. This is exactly what we do in our algorithm, although we invoke this replacement from $i$, not $j$. + + + +%Finally, in PAVA the value $y_k, i \leq k\leq j$ can be replaced several times at different back-averaging steps, the latest being $P_{ij}$ corresponding to the smallest $i$ for which $y_i>P_{i+1,j}$. In our version we start with the smallest $i$, and replace $y_k$ only once, and then advance to position $j$, so they are not overwritten. Therefore, our algorithm performs the same replacements as PAVA but in a different order, and the outputs are the same. Below we show that the order does not really matter if we perform replacements with the max operation. + + +Now the presented algorithm can be parallelised for GPUs: each datum $y_i$ is treated in its own thread. Calculation of the smallest $P_{ij}$ is performed serially within the $i$-th thread, or in parallel, by starting children threads. +Replacing the values $y_i,\ldots,y_{j^*}$ with $P_{ij^*}$ leads to potential clashes, as several threads can perform this operation on the same elements $y_k$. This can be circumvented by using max operation, i.e., $y_k\leftarrow \max(y_k,P_{ij})$. Note that thread $i$ replaces the value $y_k$, $k\geq i$ if $P_{ij}10^4$. While it is possible to transfer data from GPU to CPU and run PAVA there, it is warranted only for sufficiently large data $n\geq 5 \times 10^5$ , for otherwise the data transfer overheads will dominate CPU time. For smaller $n$, isotone regression is best performed on GPU. + +We also see that the use of GPU accelerated MLS by a factor of at least 100. The cost of serial MLS is prohibitive for $n>10^6$. + +We should mention that not all isotone regression problems allow a PAV-like algorithm linear in time. When the data may contain large outliers, monotonizing the data is better done not in the least squares sense, but using other cost functionals, such as by minimizing the sum of absolute deviations \cite{Wang} or using M-estimators \cite{Yohai}, which are less sensitive to outliers. It is interesting than in all such cases the solution to isotone regression problem can be found by solving maximin problem +$$ +u_i=\max_{k\leq i} \min_{l \geq i} \hat y(k,l), +$$ +with $\hat y(k,l)$ being the unrestricted maximum likelihood estimator of $y_k\ldots,y_l$. For quadratic cost function $\hat y(k,l)$ is the mean, as in PAV and MLS algorithms, for the absolute deviations it becomes the median, and for other cost functions an M-estimator of location. The MLS algorithm can be applied to such isotone regression problems with very little modification, while linear in time algorithm may not be available. Our parallel MLS algorithm will be valuable in such cases. + +%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1} +\begin{table}[!h] +\begin{center} +\caption{The average CPU time (sec) of the serial PAVA, MLS and parallel MLS algorithms. } \label{ch11:table1} +\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|} + +Data & PAVA & MLS & GPU MLS \\ \hline + +monotone increasing $f$ & & & \\ +$n=5\times 10^4$ &0.01&5& 0.092\\ +$n=10^5$ &0.03&40& 0.35\\ +$n=5\times 10^5$ &0.4&1001&8.6 \\ +$n=10^6$ &0.8& 5000& 38 \\ +$n=2 \times 10^6$ & 1.6 &-- &152 \\ +$n=10 \times 10^6$ & 2 &-- & 3500 \\ +$n=20 \times 10^6$ & 4.5&-- & --\\ +$n=50 \times 10^6$ & 12 &-- & --\\ +\hline + +constant or decreasing $f$ & & & \\ +$n=10^6$ &0.2&0.1& 38\\ +$n=10 \times 10^6$ &1.9& 1.9& 3500 \\ +$n=20 \times 10^6$ &3.5& 4.0&-- \\ +$n=50 \times 10^6$ &11& 11& -- \\ + +\end{tabular} +\end{center} +\end{table} +%\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2} + + +\begin{figure}[!hp] + \begin{alltt} +\begin{center} +\begin{minipage}{13cm}\small +template +__device__ Tx Aver(Tx z,int i,int j, Tx *z) \{return (z-z[j+1])/(j-i+1);\} + +template +__global__ void monotonizekernel(Tx *y, Tx *z, Tx *u, int *key, int n) +\{ int i = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x; + if(icurP) \{ + smallestJ = j; + smallestP = curP; + \} + \} + curP=y[i]; + if(curP > smallestP) t=smallestP; + else smallestJ=i; + key[i]=smallestJ; + u[i]=t; + \} +\} + +template< typename Tx > +void MonotonizeData(Tx *y, int n, Tx *u) \{ + thrust::less_equal binary_pred; + thrust::maximum binary_op2; + thrust::device_vector z_d(n+1); + thrust::device_vector keys_d(n); + thrust::device_ptr y_d(y), u_d(u); + thrust::fill(u_d, u_d+n, -1e100); + thrust::fill(keys_d.begin(), keys_d.end(), 0); + + thrust::reverse_iterator< typename thrust::device_vector::iterator > + y_reverse_b(y_d+n), y_reverse_end(y_d), z_reverse_b(z_d.end()); + + thrust::inclusive_scan(y_reverse_b, y_reverse_end, z_reverse_b+1); + + monotonizekernel<<>>(y, thrust::raw_pointer_cast(&z_d[0]), + u, thrust::raw_pointer_cast(&keys_d[0]), n ); + + thrust::sort(keys_d.begin(), keys_d.end()); + thrust::inclusive_scan_by_key(keys_d.begin(), keys_d.end(), + u_d, u_d, binary_pred, binary_op2); +\} +\end{minipage} +\end{center} +\end{alltt} +\caption{Fragments of implementation of a parallel version of the MLS algorithm using Thrust library.} +\label{ch11:algMLS} +\end{figure} + +\section{Conclusion} \label{ch11:conc} + +We presented three GPU-based parallel algorithms for approximating monotone data: monotone quadratic spline, monotone Hermite rational spline and minimum lower sets algorithm for monotonizing noisy data.
