An augmented lagrangian pattern search method for optimal WWTP designs

This paper describes a derivative-free method to solve a non-linear constrained optimization problem that arises from the mathematical formulation of an activated sludge system of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), in which the objective is to minimize the investment and operation costs. The metho...
