This paper analyzes global convergence of the univariate dynamic encoding algorithm for searches (uDEAS) and provides an application result to function optimization. uDEAS is a more advanced optimization method than its predecessor in terms of the number of neighborhood points. This improvement should be validated through mathematical analysis for further research and application. Since uDEAS can be categorized into the generating set search method also established recently, the global convergence property of uDEAS is proved in the context of the direct search method. To show the strong performance of uDEAS, the global minima of four 30 dimensional benchmark functions are attempted to be located by uDEAS and the other direct search methods. The proof of global convergence and the successful optimization result guarantee that uDEAS is a reliable and effective global optimization method.

This paper proposes a new multi-start scheme that generates guided random bits in selecting initial search points for global optimization with univariate dynamic encoding algorithm for searches (uDEAS). The proposed method counts the number of 1 in each bit position from all the previously generated initial search matrices and, based on this information, generates 0 in proportion with the probability of selecting 1. This rule is simple and effective for improving diversity of initial search points. The performance improvement of the proposed multi-start is validated through implementation in uDEAS and function optimization experiments.

This paper proposes two optimal path planning methods of a mobile robot using uDEAS (univariate Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches). Before start of autonomous traveling, a self-controlled mobile robot must generate an optimal global path as soon as possible. To this end, numerical optimization method is applied to real time path generation of a mobile robot with an obstacle avoidance scheme and the basic path generation method based on the concept of knot and node points between start and goal points. The first improvement in the present work is to generate diagonal paths using three node points in the basic path. The second innovation is to make a smooth path plotted with the blending polynomial using uDEAS. Effectiveness of the proposed schemes are validated for several environments through simulation.

This paper newly proposes a modular type dynamic encoding algorithm for searches (DEAS) which partitions the whole parameters into several modules and carries out exhaustive DEAS for each module. uDEAS is used to measure parameter sensitivities to the cost function, and the variables whose sensitivities are similar are grouped to make a module. The proposed optimization method is applied to optimal trajectory generation for biped walking of a humanoid. and the optimization result is compared with those of the former versions of DEAS.

This paper deals with the precise temperature control of the heater used at a weaving thread or a drawn process. For precise temperature control, we suggest a design method that is auto-tuning IMC-PID controller using an optimization method uDEAS. For this method, we model the roll heater from the measurement data and we automatically tune the low pass filter value of IMC-PID controller that satisfies stability and conrol performance. Finally, we implement the designed controller using DSP kit.

Reheating furnace is an essential facility of a rod mill plant where a billet is heated to the required rolling temperature so that it can be milled to produce wire. Sometimes, it is also necessary to control a transient billet temperature pattern according to the material characteristics to prevent a wire from breaking. Though it is very important objective to obtain a correct information of a billet temperature during furnace operation. Consequently, a billet temperature profile must be estimated. In this paper, a billet heat transfer model based on FEM (Finite Element Method) with spatially distributed emission factors is proposed and a measurement is also carried out for two different furnace operation conditions. Finally, the difference between the model outputs and the measurements is minimized by using the new optimization algorithm named uDEAS(Univariate Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches) with multi-step tuning strategy. Hence, the information of billet temperatures can be obtained by using proposed model on various furnace operation conditions.

Reheating furnace is an essential facility of a rod mill plant where a billet is heated to the required rolling temperature so that it can be milled to produce wire. Although it is very important to obtain information on billet temperatures, it is not feasible during furnace operation. Consequently, a billet temperature profile should be estimated. Moreover, this estimation should be done within an appropriate time interval for an on-line application. In this paper, a billet heat transfer model based on 2D FEM(Finite Element Method) with spatially distributed emission factors is proposed for an on-line billet temperature estimation and also a measurement is carried out for two extremely different furnace operation patterns. Finally, the difference between the model outputs and the measurements is minimized by using a new optimization algorithm named uDEAS(Univariate Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches) with multi-step tuning strategy. The obtained emission factors are applied to a simulation for the data which are not used in the model tuning for validation.
