On queueing systems with variable service capacities

In some queueing systems the total service capacity utilized at any given time is a variable under the control of a decision maker. Management doctrines are examined which prescribe the actual service capacity as a function of the queue length and the recent history of the system. Steady state probabilities, expected queue lengths and frequencies of change in capacity are evaluated for a wide class of possible control schemes. Optimization procedures are outlined.

系统辨识在建立舰船电力推进动态模型中的应用

舰船电力推进是一个复杂的船—机—电系统。对其动态特性的研究,利用现有的基于理论分析建立机理模型的方法,就会遇到分析过程繁杂、模型适用性差的实际困难。本文则利用系统辨识方法建立舰船电力推进系统的动态模型,通过一个具体的船模实验及辨识计算,确定模型的结构和参数。为了克服相关噪声的影响,参数估计中采用了增广矩阵法。并对模型从拟合程度和收敛性两方面进行了检验,结果表明,上述方法所得到的动态模型是适用的。
