This section demonstrates and validates the proposed distributed multi-agent area coverage control reinforcement learning algorithm (MAACC-RL) via numerical simulations. The approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm implemented for MAACC-RL uses a recursive least-squares solution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MAACC algorithm, a MATLAB simulation is conducted on a group of five agents placed on a 2D convex workspace Ω⊂R^2 with its boundary vertices at (1.0,0.05)…

Math was first put into practice by industry leaders, George Dantzig and Harold Kuhn, in the 1950’s. Business Mathematics is important in everyday life because not only does it help companies and organizations record and manage business related operations but it is also helpful for companies and organizations to make data driven decisions that ultimately relate to logistics, supply chains and warehousing. Business math differs from other types of math’s because it consists of more advanced…

2.3 Computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics or commonly abbreviated as CFD is the branch of fluid dynamics which is applied to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated phenomena such as chemical reactions by the numerical solution of the governing equations to analyze complex flows system such as complex turbulent flow (Versteeg and Malalasekera, 1995). Therefore, CFD has often been provided as the tool for testing of conditions which are not possible or difficult…

In the architectural, engineering and construction industry there is a growing awareness that the effective design of sustainable buildings results from an accurate optimization process of all the variables that are involved and interrelated in meeting the various sustainability goals in the field of energy, indoor environmental quality, water management, and sustainable materials [1][2]. For that reason, current frameworks for the building design process rely on a high degree of…

the distribution system. Shunt compensation is necessary to use so as to bring the voltage within acceptable limits. Initially base case of two bus radial distribution system is analyzed and same is tested for the IEEE-33 bus system to prove our research work. There is immense work which can be done on wind energy distribution and optimization in future. Other renewable technology can be analyzed for the same system and cost comparison is one of the best work that can be done in view of…

There were so many attractive theoretical subjects such as Project and Operation Management, Production Planning and Control, Operations and Research, Supply Chain Management, Quality Management. In fact, I also went through several practical subjects too. For instance C++, Industrial Simulation, MATLAB, Mechanical Drawing, Product Design and Development were…

Operations research is a field of study that utilizes sophisticated and forward-thinking analytic systems to drive better decision making by managers. The focus is on improving outcomes, performance and effective decision making. A byproduct of this work is increased efficiency. Processes are broken down into many layers within the system; analyzing behaviors to have an authentic sense of where opportunities for improvements may lie. Managers develop strategies and commit to financial…

Police operation have many jobs one of their jobs is to make sure civilians are safe. Their laws are to make sure arrest suspects who do not wish to follow the laws. Their jobs can range from traffic violation to call for homicide, robbery, drug bust, or child abduction. Police operations also deal with a serious side which is the dangers associated with policing like the fear of getting shot and not coming back home to their families. The police are in charge of different organization and…

History of Operation Research According to the history of Operations Research it is said that Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is the father of Operational Research. The name of Operations Research evolved in 1940 during the World War II. This was established in Great Britain with the establishment of groups of scientists to analyze the strategic and tactical problems associated with military operations. The main objective of Operations Research was to find the most efficient usage of limited…

Introduction Nowadays it is essential to achieve corporate excellence. Each business concerns despite its nature, needs and size funds to manage the operations of the business. Each business has to do everyday expenses such as purchasing raw material, wages payment, and others. Business has to have proper inventory level. Inventory management is an essential business part that requires great consideration and attention (Kieso, Warfield & Weygandt, 2007). Inventory management is the business…
