Derivative-free augmented Lagrangian for global optimization: cost minimization in a simplified activated sludge system model

A methodology for finding the optimal values of the decision variables from an efficient simplified mathematical model of an activated sludge system is addressed in this paper. The work herein presented arises in a wastewater treatment plant design context, where investment and operational costs are...
