The idea of approximation by monomials together with the collocation technique over a uniform mesh for solvingstate-space analysisandoptimal controlproblems (OCPs) has been proposed in this paper. After imposing the Pontryagins maximum principle to the main OCPs, the problems reduce to a linear or nonlinear boundary value problem. In the linear case we propose a monomial collocation matrix approach, while in the nonlinear case, the general collocation method has been applied. We also show the efficiency of the operational matrices of differentiation with respect to the operational matrices of integration in our numerical examples. These matrices of integration are related to the Bessel, Walsh, Triangular, Laguerre, and Hermite functions.

This paper outlines the increasing demands upon evaluation activity during the engineering design process. In particular, the need to address large numbers of innovative concept options during the conceptual design phase is stressed and a six-step methodology proposed. This methodology combines and integrates techniques of inexact reasoning with the need to combine two basic human approaches to evaluation, namely decomposition and holistic. The holistic evaluation elements comprise fuzzy estimates of probability of achieving Pareto optimal status combined with state-space analysis. An example demonstrates how these methods may converge to provide an appropriate support for human evaluation of emerging designs. It is concluded that the six-step methodology exhibits validity and time reduction in terms of providing an aid to the evaluation of a large number of merging designs and their associated design characteristics.
