On the Integral Type Crouzeix-Raviart NonconformingFinite ElementsA. Andreev, M. RachevaWe analyze some approximation properties of nonconforming piecewise linear finiteelements. These elements use integral degrees of freedom which yield supercloseproperties and that is why they are more appropriate for postprocessing procedures.The approximate eigenvalues obtained with this method dive asymptotically lowerbounds of the exact eigenvalues. Finally, computational aspects are discussed andnumerical examples are presented.Postprocessing Techniques Using a Linear NonconformingFinite ElementsA. Andreev, M. RachevaTwo different a-posteriori techniques which improve the order of convergence of finiteelement solutions are presented. These methods are realized by means of an integraltype Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming finite element. Superconvergence rate is established to a second order elliptic problem by introducing nonstandard interpolatedelements. We also analyze a simple postprocessing method applied to second ordereigenvalue problems. Both approaches are illustrated and discussed by appropriatenumerical examples.Genetic Algorithms Based Parameter Identification of YeastFed-Batch CultivationM. Angelova, S. Tzonkov, T. PenchevaDifferent kinds of genetic algorithms have been investigated for a parameter identification of a fermentation process. Altogether eight realizations of genetic algorithmshave been presented four of simple genetic algorithms and four of multi-populationones. Each of them is characterized with a different sequence of implementation ofmain genetic operators, namely selection, crossover and mutation. A comparison ofconsidered eight types of genetic algorithms is presented for a parameter identificationof a fed-batch cultivation of S. cerevisiae. All kinds of multi-population algorithmslead to considerable improvement of the optimization criterion value but for morecomputational time. Among the considered multi-population algorithms the best onehas an operators sequence of crossover, mutation and selection. Different kinds ofconsidered simple genetic algorithms lead to similar values of the optimization criterion but the genetic algorithm with an operators sequence of mutation, crossover andselection is significantly faster than the others.B-1
