...Andrzej Zawadzki Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to aim to an application of element of the theory of differential geometry for building the state space transformation, linearizing nonlinear dynamic system into a linear form. Design/methodology/approach – It is assumed...

... constraints are met. In contrast, if a reactive constraint is met, node type switching occurs and the algorithm proceeds along a modified search direction given by a different ΔV . The result is a piecewise linear trajectory of the V variables, reminiscent of the projection methods used in optimization...

... defines the design space by 12 variables which have the largest influence on the goal function. The design space is constrained by a number of linear and nonlinear constraints. The optimization process is based on successive linearizations of the goal function and the nonlinear constraints followed...
