    • Derivative-free trust region optimization for robust well control under geological uncertainty 

      Silva, Thiago Lima; Bellout, Mathias; Giuliani, Caio M.; Camponogara, Eduardo; Pavlov, Alexey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      A Derivative-Free Trust-Region (DFTR) algorithm is proposed to solve the robust well control optimization problem under geological uncertainty. Derivative-Free (DF) methods are often a practical alternative when gradients ...
    • Nondisturbing extremum seeking control for multi-agent industrial systems 

      Haring, Mark A. M.; Fossøy, Synne; Silva, Thiago Lima; Pavlov, Alexey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Industrial applications of extremum seeking control (ESC) can be a hit and miss affair. Although a gain in performance can be achieved, the dither applied to excite the system causes unwanted fluctuations in the performance ...
