Application of Optimal Control and Fuzzy Theory for Dynamic Groundwater Remediation Design

Abstract

Obtaining optimal solutions for time-varying groundwater remediation design is a challenging task. A novel procedure first employs input/output data sets obtained by constrained differential dynamic programming (CDDP). Then the Adaptive-Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which is a fuzzy inference system (FIS) implemented in the adaptive network framework, is applied to acquire time-varying pumping rates. Results demonstrate that the FIS is an efficient way of groundwater remediation design.
