ON FORMULATION AND SOLUTION OF A CONTROL PROBLEM FOR MINE VENTILATION NETWORKS
Andrey Valuev
The practical problem of effective ventilation in underground
mines meeting requirements of production leads to optimization
problems having specific features. Recent experience concerned,
however, only problems with fixed air flow in branches-consumers
and a limited dimension. In the paper a combined method having
features of feasible directions and gradient-restoration methods
is proposed to overcome these deficiencies. The principal
algorithm is formulated and substantiated, some details of its
implementation are discussed. Experience of the method application
is presented showing its usefulness to meet practical
requirements.
