Abstract

Approximation schemes for functional optimization problems with admissible solutions dependent on a large number d of variables are investigated. Suboptimal solutions are considered, expressed as linear combinations of n-tuples from a basis set. The uses of fixed-basis and variable-basis approximation are compared. In the latter, simple computational units with adjustable parameters are exploited. Conditions are discussed, under which the number n of basis functions required to guarantee a desired accuracy does not grow “fast” with the number d of variables in admissible solutions, thus mitigating the “curse of dimensionality”. As an example of application, an optimization-based approach to fault diagnosis for nonlinear stochastic systems is presented. Numerical results for a complex instance of the fault-diagnosis problem are given.
