This study proposes a comprehensive strategy to optimize the operation of real-world gas pipeline networks and support decision-making. The goal is to improve environmental sustainability by ...

Strut-and-tie models for linear and nonlinear behavior of concrete based on topological evolutionary structure optimization (ESO) Modelo de bielas e tirantes para comportamentos linear e não linear do ...

We propose a new dimension reduction method for matrix-valued data called Matrix Non-linear PCA (MNPCA), which is a non-linear generalization of (2D) 2 PCA. MNPCA is based on optimizing over separate ...

Regarding models’ EP, given the nonlinear nature of the PCA algorithm and environmental data, the study highlighted the superiority of the GAM over linear-based models. However, incorporating ...
