  2. Motivation: Why Inversion? Data available: Chemical Reactor: (at specific locations) Characteristics:- Partial information available- The system cannot be studied as a whole To determine: Reaction: • Kinetic constants: • Rate of the reaction (k1) • Other constants • Thermal constants: • Thermal conductivity (k) • Porosity (ε) • Diffusivity (D) Microbial growth: Heat transfer: What are the values of k1, μmax, Ks and S0 ?

Data available: Drug distribution in the human brain : Characteristics:- Partial information available- Biological system cannot be decomposed into parts To determine: • Kinetic constants: • Metabolic rates of the reaction • Porosity (ε) • Diffusivity (D)

  8. Problem inversion-parameter estimation- finite volume discretization- trust region methods Challenges:1) How to handle PDE constraints ?2) Large state variable space3) Efficient algorithmic procedure for inversion

  9. Mathematical Problem Formulation for Inversion Given: Temperature/Concentration Field (from experimental data e.g. MRI) Find: s.t.

  10. Previous studies in inversion: Computational methods • Methods to handle optimization problems with PDE and/or algebraic constraints (Caracotsios and Stewart, 1995)- Least squares optimization problem with PDE constraints (Biegler et al, 2003) Applications • Reaction mechanisms in vapor decomposition processes (Hwang et al, 2005 ) • Inversion in Convective-Diffusive transport problems (Akcelika et al, 2003)- Data assimilation for air-pollution models (Hakami et al, 2003)- Shape optimization (Borgaard and Burns, 1997 )- Reconstruction of tissue-optical property maps (Roy and SevickMuraca, 1999)

  11. Shortcomings of previous methods: 1) They used lumped models Lumped models Distributed models • State variables (e.g. Temperature and concentration) vary spatially and temporally • Did NOT allow the system constants to vary spatially • Scale-up using lumped models is unreliable

  12. Shortcomings of previous methods (cont’d): • 2) No developed theory to quantify coupled transport and reaction • phenomena in distributed systems • 3) No mathematically rigorous method that accounts for the uncertainty • in distributed model parameters and uses confidence interval • information. • 4) There is a lack of efficient algorithmic approaches to quantify the capacity of distributed system design to avoid the violation of constraints (e.g. the safety-critical constraints, the maximum Ph in the bioreactor).

  13. Transport and Kinetic Inversion (Proposed methodology) Initialize parameters, θ Step-1: Discretize PDE constraints • Finite volume methods Step-2: Reduced-space Trust Region Method: (parameters only) • Avoids update of state variables • Robust: Steepest descent • Fast: Quadratic convergence of the Newton • Globally convergent • Robust to ill-conditioning Solvediscretized transport and kinetic constraints (Finite Volume Method). Calculate Newton, ΔθN, and Steepest descent direction, Δθsd Update parameters θnew = θold+ ΔθTR Convergence ? Best fit parameter set, θopt

  14. Finite volume discretization: Transport Model Integrating over a control volume N n e w P E W s y - direction S x- direction Discretization Model (algebraic equations)

  15. True error surface Starting point  p1 p2 Trust Region Method: Powell Dogleg Method The dogleg direction combines the Gauss-Newton direction with Steepest descent direction

  16. Parametric uncertainty-Covariance matrix- Individual confidence regions (ICR) - Joint confidence regions (JCR) Challenges:1) How to quantify uncertainty ?2) How to handle parameter correlation ?

  17. Parameter value P(), Probability function   = observations - * + Confidence Interval B) Parametric Uncertainty: • How good are the parameter estimates ?- Relax the assumption that parameters are point values- Instead, they are the mean values of a probability distribution function Covariance matrix: The covariance matrix of the parameters contains information regarding the accuracy of their estimates. (Donaldson and Schnabel, 1987)

  18. Obtaining sensitivity information: Transport equations: Implicit differentiation: N is the number of control volumes Linear algebraic system:

  19. 2 P(), Probability function Nominal point 2+   2* 2- 1 1- 1* 1+ = observations 2 2 2 - * + 1 1 Parameter value 1 Confidence Interval ij > 0 ij  0 ij < 0 : Parametric Uncertainty (cont’d): Individual confidence regions (ICR) Joint confidence regions (JCR) Individual confidence regions (ICR) Joint confidence regions (JCR)

  20. Risk analysis-Feasibility test/Flexibility index- Worst case scenario analysis

  21. Design performance evaluation Given the design (d), is its performance feasible even when parameters are varying ? Mathematical representation: Does the rectangle lie wholly inside the feasible region ? Design constraints

  22. Various approaches to quantify design flexibility • Flexibility Analysis (Halemane and Grossmann, 1983, Swaney and Grossmann, 1985): Considers the problem of uncertainty with mathematical rigor - Feasibility Test - Flexibility Index • Optimal Retrofit Design (Pistikopolous and Grossmann, 1988): Optimally redesigning an ‘existing’ process design. • Resilience index (Saboo et al, 1983) • Design reliability (Kubic and Stein, 1988) • Stochastic Flexibility index (Straub and Grossmann, 1983, Pistikopoulos and Mazucchi, 1990) • Convex Hull methods (Ierapetritou et al, 2001)

  23. Feasibility Test * x(d)  0 => feasibility ensured q  T * x(d) > 0 => design infeasible for at least one value of q Flexibility Index • F 1 => Flexibility target (F = 1) satisfied • F< 1 => Target (F = 1) not achieved. Fractional F quantifies the maximum tolerable deviation from qN

  24. Approaches to solve flexibility index/ feasibility test problem • Exhaustive enumeration (Swaney and Grossmann, 1985a) - Enumerate all the vertices of the uncertain hyper cube • Implicit vertex enumeration and heuristic vertex search (Swaney and Grossmann, 1985b) - Informed enumeration of vertices of uncertain hyper cube • Active constraint formulation (Grossmann and Floudas, 1987) - Use of KKT conditions to solve a single-level optimization problem by infeasible path methods • Convex Hull methods (Ierapetritou et al, 2001) - Inscription of a convex hull in the feasible region using chosen boundary points • Deterministic global optimization methods – a-BB algorithm (Floudas et al, 2001) - Relaxation of feasible region based on convexification of constraints

  25. Shortcomings of previous approaches: Three important shortcomings of existing methods: • Feasibility test/ flexibility index problems involve non- differentiabilities (e.g. min, max functions) - Gradient based methods not well-suited! (2) Feasibility test/ flexibility index are deterministic global concepts. - A majority of existing gradient based methods evaluate the local optima barring a few exceptions (a-BB, BARON) (3) Not suited for solving (Non) linear infinite programs (NLIP’s) - Cannot handle the infinite space dimensionality in the parameter domain
