Subspace dynamic‐simplex linear interpolation search for mixed‐integer black‐box optimization problems

Design and management of complex systems with both integer and continuous decision variables can be guided using mixed‐integer optimization models and analysis. We propose a new mixed‐integer black‐box optimization (MIBO) method, subspace dynamic‐simplex linear interpolation search (SD‐SLIS), for decision making problems in which system performance can only be evaluated with a computer black‐box model. Through a sequence of gradient‐type local searches in subspaces of solution space, SD‐SLIS is particularly efficient for such MIBO problems with scaling issues. We discuss the convergence conditions and properties of SD‐SLIS algorithms for a class of MIBO problems. Under mild conditions, SD‐SLIS is proved to converge to a stationary solution asymptotically. We apply SD‐SLIS to six example problems including two MIBO problems associated with petroleum field development projects. The algorithm performance of SD‐SLIS is compared with that of a state‐of‐the‐art direct‐search method, NOMAD, and that of a full space simplex interpolation search, Full‐SLIS. The numerical results suggest that SD‐SLIS solves the example problems efficiently and outperforms the compared methods for most of the example cases. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“Effing” the military: a political misunderstanding of management

The use of commercial business management techniques is widespread in all government departments, including the Ministry of Defence. This article examines the use of popular management techniques in the Armed Forces and argues that their application is misplaced. It looks at what the “effs” – “efficiency” and “effectiveness” – mean in the business world and to the Armed Forces. It compares the definitions both in business and the Armed Forces and finds that there are few, if any, situations where the same measurements can be applied. Whilst many management techniques are suited for business, the function of the Armed Forces and its output cannot be measured in the same way, complicated by the different metrics of “efficiency” in peace and in war. This difference may not be clearly understood by some politicians, or indeed by some senior military personnel. Using examples from some of the most popular management techniques such as “Lean” and “Agile” it is possible to see that their use might actually diminish the capabilities of the Armed Forces when it comes to performing their principal role – the use of force to achieve political objectives.     

基于三对Bell态纠缠交换的QDKD方案

提出了一种基于三对Bell态纠缠交换的量子确定性密钥分发方案(Quantum Deterministic Key Distribution,QDKD),该方案充分利用量子纠缠交换的原理,通过对三对Bell态进行纠缠、测量操作,并辅以经典信息实现确定性密钥的分发,方案中任何窃听行为都会被及时发现。同基于两对Bell态纠缠交换的QDKD方案相比,协议利用三对Bell态并使用两种方法实现确定性密钥信息的分发。分析结果表明,方案仅用到两粒子纠缠态,没有涉及任何幺正操作,操作性强,密钥分发效率高。

单晶硅反射镜激光能量吸收系数与衬底表面质量的关联

高能激光系统中,单晶硅基底反射镜的能量吸收系数是影响系统性能的关键指标。衬底加工质量对镀膜后元件激光能量吸收系数影响显著。通过测试不同衬底粗糙度、划痕密度的单晶硅反射元件,分析衬底表面典型加工特征(粗糙度、划痕)对激光能量吸收系数的影响规律,认为粗糙度与吸收系数正相关,粗糙度均方根从0.668nm降低至0.345nm会使吸收系数降低28.0%。少量划痕对吸收系数的直接影响并不明显,吸收系数均值变化在3.1%以内。但表面划痕会诱发激光损伤,划痕密度较大时会引起后续能量吸收持续增大,辐照400s后,吸收系数较辐照100s时增大18.3%。
