Optimization Algorithms Levenberg-Marquardt

The rapid development of computer technology has yielded powerful tools that make it possible for modem EIS analysis software not only to optimize an equivalent circuit, but also to produce much more reliable system parameters. For most EIS data analysis software, a non-linear least squares fitting method, developed by Marquardt and Levenberg, is commonly used. The NLLS Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has become the basic engine of several data analysis programs. 

To solve the equations of problem P ), the optimization algorithms used are Levenberg-Marquardt and Trust-Region procedures. These methods enable computation of the solution by using the Jacobian matrix and the Hessian matrix (or its approximation) related to the objective function E(Y) [57]. 

This paper presents the application of a model based predictive control strategy for the primary stage of the freeze drying process, which has not been tackled until now. A model predictive control framework is provided to minimize the sublimation time. The problem is directly addressed for the non linear distributed parameters system that describes the dynamic of the process. The mathematical model takes in account the main phenomena, including the heat and mass transfer in both the dried and frozen layers, and the moving sublimation front. The obtained results show the efficiency of the control software developed (MPC CB) under Matlab. The MPC( CB based on a modified levenberg-marquardt algorithm allows to control a continuous process in the open or closed loop and to find the optimal constrained control. 

The performance of an ANN is measured by the root-mean-square error (RMSE) which is also the function to be minimised. The Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm (Marquardt, 1963) and resilient propagation algorithm (RPROP) (Riedmiller Braun, 1993) were used to train the neural networks in this study. 

There are several alternatives. For example, it is possible to perform a onedimensional search along the gradient direction. Better still, the two methods may be coupled as happens with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm or the dogleg method. Another choice is to perform a two-dimensional optimization on the plane defined by both the search directions. 

A history matching package consisting of a one-dimensional, two-phase, finite difference simulator and Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm was developed. The capillary end effect is considered in the simulator. 

The inverse of the Hessian matrix is approximated by a symmetric positive definite matrix that is constructed iteratively. To that end, the Scilab function optim () [10] uses the Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno (BFGS) update [11], Alternatively, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm implemented in the Scilab function IsqrsolveO may be used. 

An iterative algorithm, e.g. Newton-Raphson or Levenberg-Marquardt, can then be used for finding the optimal deformation parameter optimizing the correlation coefficient [48, 51],... 

The last example of solve blocks that is demonstrated here is optimization. Mathcad has four primary functions that are used in the context of optimization. The general format follows that of a solve block. Specifics for the function syntax are outlined in Table 5.4. Please note that the difference between Find and Minerr is that Find selects a suitable algorithm for the problem and Minerr returns an error message if the system does not converge. By default, both use Levenberg-Marquardt, but KNITRO is also available. Please see Figure 5.11 for an example of the implementation of Find. 

All nonlinear regression approaches use numerical methods, such as the Gauss-Newton or Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm optimisaticai algorithms, to search for the optimal point. 

Commercially available software developed to process individual impedance spectra use few general algorithms such as Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, the Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method or genetic algorithms [3-7]. The software is optimized to process only... 

The calculation algorithm, used by genfit, was also changed significantly (Fig. 4.17). One can now choose between options Levenb e r g Mar guar dt and Optimized Levenberg Marquardt (the latter is recommended when the function vector is absent). 

A quadratic approximation to the convolution integral has proved to be the best method for optimizing the results. A Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm performing a least-squares minimization is used.
