Talk:Auto-zero/Auto-calibration

From Wikimization

I have been working on creating a robust design structure for the design of Auto-Zero/Auto-calibration implementations. I have a lot of moving parts in my head; but I believe I need outside viewpoints and knowledge in order to construct a general approach. If anybody is interested please respond here. It is a bit more complicated than it would seem on the surface IMHO. I somewhat think it falls within convex optimization. On the other hand I sometimes think it doesn't. I do have a particular example that illustrates the various problems that can arise. Although the ideas should be applicable to Scientific measurements; the applications I have in mind relate to autonomous embedded software and hardware implementations.

Note on the examples: I think that due to the physically meaningful restrictions, R>0 and errors less than 100%, on the problem; a conversion process using logs and affine transforms will generate posynomial equations for optimization and constraints. I tried Geometric programing before but didn't put the proper (I hope) restrictions in place. Perhaps I gave up too early? They might not exactly fit geometric programing but they might fit convex programing. Ray
