The paper proposes a two-level decomposition method for shape optimization of structures. The optimization problem is divided into two subproblems on the basis of the different effects on structural behaviour of different kinds of design variables. A minimum mass subproblem is solved to determine th

Two H optimization problems of a nonlinear tracking control system: the problem of a nonlinear controller and the problem of a nonlinear plant are considered in the paper. The describing function method is used for linearization of a feedback control system. Theorems, which enable one to replace the
Three metabolic models for the production of ethanol, glycerol, and carbohydrates in yeast are optimized with respect to different production rates. While originally nonlinear, all three optimization problems are reduced in such a way that methods of linear programming can be used. The optimizations
In this article, we report two sets of finite difference methods of order two and four over a rectangular domain for the efficient numerical integration of the system of two-dimensional nonlinear elliptic biharmonic problems of the second kind. Second-order derivatives of the solutions are obtained
