Multicriteria Parametric Optimization of Nonlinear Robust Control with Two Degrees of Freedom by a Discrete-Continuous Plant by Borys I. Kuznetsov, Ihor V. Bovdui, Olena V. Voloshko, Tetyana B. Nikitina, Borys B. Kobylianskyi

“…Thanks to the synthesis of nonlinear robust control with two degrees of freedom by a discrete-continuous object, it is shown that the use of synthesized controllers made it possible to increase the accuracy of control of an electromechanical system with distributed parameters of the mechanical part to reduce the time of transient processes by 1.5–2 times, reduce dispersion of errors by 1.3 times and reduce the sensitivity of the system to changes in the plant parameters in comparison with typical controllers used in existing systems. …”

Predicting PM10 Concentrations Using Evolutionary Deep Neural Network and Satellite-Derived Aerosol Optical Depth by Yasser Ebrahimian Ghajari, Mehrdad Kaveh, Diego Martín

“…Current approaches such as gradient-based methods exhibit significant limitations, such as the risk of becoming ensnared in local minimal within multi-objective loss functions, substantial computational requirements, and the requirement for continuous objective functions. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces a novel approach that combines the binary gray wolf optimizer (BGWO) with DNN to improve the optimization of models for air pollution prediction. …”
