Inventory control of by-products

The system to be controlled produces n products simultaneously in fixed proportions every time it is activated. Demands for the products in any period are components of an n dimensional vector random variable with known distribution function. Cases of excess demands backlogged and excess demands lost are considered. In the former the notion of k convexity can be generalized to guarantee relatively simple form for the optimal policy in an n decision problem. In the latter, this generalization was not successful although when there is no setup cost, a convexity argument can be used to show that the optimal policy has a simple form.

Stochastic control of queueing systems

Suppose that the state of a queueing system is described by a Markov process { Y_t, t ≥ 0}, and the profit from operating it up to a time t is given by the function f(Y_t). We operate the system up to a time T, where the random variable T is a stopping time for the process Yt. Optimal stochastic control is achieved by choosing the stopping time T that maximizes Ef(Y_T) over a given class of stopping times. In this paper a theory of stochastic control is developed for a single server queue with Poisson arrivals and general service times.

模糊-专家控制在智能消磁中的应用研究

综合消磁是处理舰船固定磁性的重要手段.长期以来,由于综合消磁工艺的复杂性,使得这项工作在很大程度上依赖人工.实现消磁自动化,就是要将工作人员从繁重的脑体劳动中解放出来,提高工作效率.目前的新型消磁站已经实现了数据采集、统计自动化,不仅基本免除了工作人员的体力劳动,也从一定程度上减轻了消磁技师的脑力劳动.然而由于需要人工参与决策,综合消磁的效果和效率仍然十分依赖于人的因素.所以,实现综合消磁工作的完全自动化,补偿电流值组合的智能化决策是关键问题.本文在分析以前所做工作的基础上,运用模糊控制理论构造模糊-专家控制器,替代人工决策过程以实现自动化消磁.     

亚轨道飞行器试验运载火箭的射程控制

运载火箭试验靶场就是用于火箭发射试验的专门场区,包括陆域、海域、空域等。靶场安全问题比较复杂、涉及范围广,火箭进入外层空间前不允许穿越外国领域或必须保证距国境线有一定的安全距离,其残骸落区不允许在外国领域。在我国,受到国土范围限制,又要实现洲际运载火箭全程飞行试验的要求,实际中通常采取"高弹道"、"低弹道"等特殊弹道的飞行试验来代替全程飞行试验的策略。通过对两类特殊亚轨道飞行器的飞行试验火箭的弹道特点描述,开展射程控制分析,研究基于我国国境进行亚轨道飞行试验的靶场安全控制方法。射程控制,对于低弹道可以采用控制俯仰程序角速度方法,而对于高弹道可以采用控制俯仰程序角方法。

Formulation as a dynamic programming problem is given and proofs for existence are presented for finite horizon, infinite horizon and average cost criteria.     

From control to parasitism

This article sets out to investigate the current paradoxical roles of border control agencies in order to contribute to the theoretical debate on border porosity and related security issues in West Africa. The colonial demarcation of African borders accounts for their porous nature initially, as borderland populations challenged the unjust scission of their cultural, economic, geographical and geopolitical spaces. However, new forms of porosity also evolved over time, masterminded by new actors. Drawing on the Ghana–Togo border case, and through interviews, observation and documentary analysis, this article argues that border control agencies are partly responsible for the current border porosity and attendant security problems as their jurisdiction has shifted to a multi-layered border parasitism. The article is not, however, an attack on border law enforcement agencies; rather it attempts to explore their roles in shielding the region, already exposed to terrorism and piracy, from further security threats.     

A nonlinear continuous time optimal control model of dynamic pricing and inventory control with no backorders

In this paper, we present a continuous time optimal control model for studying a dynamic pricing and inventory control problem for a make‐to‐stock manufacturing system. We consider a multiproduct capacitated, dynamic setting. We introduce a demand‐based model where the demand is a linear function of the price, the inventory cost is linear, the production cost is an increasing strictly convex function of the production rate, and all coefficients are time‐dependent. A key part of the model is that no backorders are allowed. We introduce and study an algorithm that computes the optimal production and pricing policy as a function of the time on a finite time horizon, and discuss some insights. Our results illustrate the role of capacity and the effects of the dynamic nature of demand in the model. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2007
