One of the most important factors that bring success in modern warfare is to show air superiority. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have now become an essential component of military air operations. UAVs can be operated in two ways: by pilots from remote control stations or by flying autonomously. Under the condition of disconnection from the control station, UAVs have trouble maintaining navigation and maneuverability. By applying multisensor data fusion, an escape path prediction algorithm was developed and presented as an engagement escape method in this study. To develop the algorithm for prediction of the optimal escape route, data from various sensors are collected and processed under the influence of noise. The data from the distance and angle sensors are interpreted in the Extended Kalman Filter and estimations are made. The instant optimal escape route is created by applying the constrained optimization method on the estimations made. The main motivation of this study is developing a deterministic-based method to get the certification of it in aviation. Therefore, instead of stochastic-based learning approaches, a deterministic approach is preferred. Nonlinear programming is used as the constraint optimization method because the constraints and objective function are nonlinear. In the selected scenarios, it can be seen in the simulation results that the proposed method shows a promising result in terms of escape from engagement.

The paper presents an algorithm of automatic search for the optimal values of the operating parameters of the natural gas compressor station. It has been assumed that natural gas can be supplied with two types of compressors: centrifugal compressors and motor-compressors. The nonlinear programming problem with continuous and discrete variables was solved to evaluate the number of simultaneously operating compressors and their operating parameters. The total fuel consumption in each time interval is minimized subject to the constraints imposed.

A method has been suggested which solves a multiobjective stochastic linear programming problem with normal multivariate distributions in accordance with the minimum-risk criterion. The approach to the problem uses the concept of satisfaction functions for the explicit integration of the preferences of the decision-maker for different achievement level of each objective. Thereafter, a nonlinear deterministic equivalent problem is formulated and solved by the bisection method. Numerical examples with two and three objectives are given for illustration. The solutions obtained by this method are compared with the solutions given by other approaches.
An optimization model for the cost–revenue study at the stage of system analysis and preliminary designs of storage objects such as warehouses, containers, packs and similar objects are developed. Our assumptions motivated by warehouses design lead us to a nonlinear integer optimization problem with the only basic constraint. We present algorithmic methods for obtaining the exact solution to the general problem with emphasizing the special case when both the objective and the constraint functions are increasing. The results of the paper may be used in developing software tools intended for supporting designers.
Ship collision-avoidance trajectory planning aims at searching for a theoretical safe-critical trajectory in accordance with COLREGs and good seamanship. In this paper, a novel optimal trajectory planning based on hybrid genetic algorithm is presented for ship collision avoidance in the open sea. The proposed formulation is established based on the theory of the Multiple Genetic Algorithm (MPGA) and Nonlinear Programming, which not only overcomes the inherent deficiency of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for premature convergence, but also guarantees the practicality and consistency of the optimal trajectory. Meanwhile, the encounter type as well as the obligation of collision avoidance is determined according to COLREGs, which is then considered as the restricted condition for the operation of population initialization. Finally, this trajectory planning model is evaluated with a set of test cases simulating various traffic scenarios to demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of the optimal trajectory.
A fixed-point algorithm is presented for a class of singly constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) problems with bounds. Setting the gradient of the Lagrangian equal to zero yields a set of optimality conditions. However, a direct solution on general problems may yield non-KKT points. Under the assumption that the gradient of the objective function is negative while the gradient of the constraint function is positive, and that the variables are positive, it is shown that the fixed-point iterations can converge to a KKT point. An active set strategy is used to handle lower and upper bounds. While fixed-point iteration algorithms can be found in the structural optimization literature, these are presented without clearly stating assumptions under which convergence may be achieved. They are also problem specific as opposed to working with general functions f, g. Here, the algorithm targets general functions which satisfy the stated assumptions. Further, within this general context, the fixed-point variable update formula is given physical significance. Unlike NLP descent methods, no line search is involved to determine step size which involves many function calls or simulations. Thus, the resulting algorithm is vastly superior for the subclass of problems considered. Moreover, the number of function evaluations remains independent of the number of variables allowing the efficient solution of problems with a large number of variables. Applications and numerical examples are presented.

Warehouses are essential components of any supply chain in terms of customer service and cost levels. Warehouses are one of the important players in the success or failure of businesses from not only the customer service levels perspective but also the cost perspective. Warehouses, as one of the important components of supply networks, should be continually improved from design and operation perspectives to increase the performance. All efforts and solutions regarding the performance improvement are important and complex. In other words, warehouses should operate effectively in terms of the costs and technical performance that are determined during the design phase of warehouses. There are a few studies in the literature regarding the calculations of the optimum dimensions of a warehouse along the x, y, and z directions. In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to achieve the optimum warehouse dimensions in terms of the number of stocking zones along each of three dimensional axes directions: the x-, y-, and z-axes as non-linear mathematical modelling is developed to ensure the optimality. The warehouse dimensions (length, width, and height under the rafter of the building) are then calculated according to the results obtained from the model to minimise the average travel time.

The issues of copper production strategy for the Polish copper industry are presented in the article. The problem is considered within the scope of the ore extraction, ore concentration and metallurgical processing of the copper concentrate and the main aim is to produce the specific amount of copper, which generates maximum technological and economic benefits. In order to determine the strategy of production for a company an optimisation approach may be applied with the target function defined as either the maximization of metal recovery or the maximization of profit. The real operating conditions are implemented into the model, together with existing limitation resulting from the concentration technology and metallurgical treatment. The problem verification was possible with using of non-linear programming theory. Two variants were considered: the first for lower production costs, and the second for low stock market prices. The presented optimal strategies determine the copper grades of concentrates as well as the system of concentrates distribution between three smelters. Generally smelters should receive concentrates with higher copper grades for low stock market metal prices and for low processing costs the mass of concentrates delivered to smelters should be higher together with decreased the copper grades.

W pracy przedstawiono zagadnienia dotyczące strategii produkcji miedzi elektrolitycznej dla polskich warunków produkcji miedzi w układzie kopalnia-zakład przeróbczy-huta miedzi. Problem jest rozpatrywany głównie z punktu widzenia hut miedzi, ale determinowany jest jakością i ilością koncentratów miedziowych wyprodukowanych przez zakłady przeróbcze. Celem jest osiągniecie maksymalnych efektów technologicznych i ekonomicznych. Podejście optymalizacyjne zakłada zbudowanie odpowiedniego modelu ekonometrycznego z funkcja celu zdefiniowaną jako maksymalny odzysk metalu oraz uwzględnieniem istniejących realnych ograniczeń technologicznych Weryfikacja modelu jest możliwa z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania działającego w oparciu o teorię programowania nielinowego. W artykule przedstawiono analizę dla dwóch wariantów produkcji miedzi: niskich kosztów produkcyjnych oraz niskich cen giełdowych miedzi. Aby maksymalizować funkcję celu w zaprezentowanym modelu, w okresie niskich cen produkcji huty powinny otrzymywać mniej koncentratów o wyższej zawartości miedzi, natomiast przy niskich giełdowych cenach miedzi, huty powinny przerabiać większe ilości koncentratu o zmniejszonej zawartości miedzi.
