Semi-Smooth Newton Methods for the Time Optimal Control of Nonautonomous Ordinary Differential Equations
AMS Subj. Classification: 49J15, 49M15The control problem of minimal time transition between two stationary points are
formulated in a framework of an indirect numerical method. The problem is regularized and
the monotone behavior of the regularisation procedure is investigated. Semi-smooth Newton
method applied on the regularized problems converge superlinearly and usually produce a very
accurate solution. Differently from other methods, this one does not need a-priory knowledge of
the control switching structure. A code was developed in the C++ language and the NVIDIA
CUDA technology made it even faster.* This work was completed with the support of project NAWI Graz
A Knowledge Graph-Based Data Integration Framework Applied to Battery Data Management
Today, the automotive and transportation sector is undergoing a transformation process to meet the requirements of sustainable and efficient operations. This transformation mainly reveals itself by electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicle sharing. One significant, and the most expensive, component in electric vehicles is the batteries, and the management of batteries is crucial. It is essential to perform constant monitoring of behavior changes for operational purposes and quickly adjust components and operations to these changes. Thus, to address these challenges, we propose a knowledge graph-based data integration framework for simplifying access and analysis of data accumulated through the operations of vehicles and related transportation systems. The proposed framework aims to enable the effortless analysis and navigation of integrated knowledge and the creation of additional data sets from this knowledge to use during the application of data analysis and machine learning. The knowledge graph serves as a significant component to simplify the extraction, enrichment, exploration, and generation of data in this framework. We have developed it according to the human-centered design, and various roles of the data science and machine learning life cycle can use it. Its main objective is to streamline the exploration and interaction with the integrated data to maximize human productivity. Finally, we present a battery use case to show the feasibility and benefits of the proposed framework. The use case illustrates the usage of the framework to extract knowledge from raw data, navigate and enrich it with additional knowledge, and generate data sets
