态势估计中一种基于贝叶斯估计的统计时间推理方法

统计时间推理是态势估计中的一个重要组成部分。Ｋｉｒｉｌｏｖ的基于极大似然估计（Ｍａｘｉ－ｍｕｍＬｉｋｅｌｉｈｏｏｄＥｓｔｉｍａｔｉｏｎ,ＭＬＥ）的推理方法将未知时间变量看作常数,估计方差较大。文中建立的已知时间信息和未知时间变量之间的关系模型,将未知时间变量扩展为随机变量,将贝叶斯估计（ＢａｙｅｓＥｓｔｉｍａｔｉｏｎ,ＢＥ）引入时间推理。经过对两种推理算法的性能进行分析和比较,发现在一定范围内,基于ＢＥ的方法性能优于基于ＭＬＥ的方法。

Cyclic best first search: Using contours to guide branch‐and‐bound algorithms

The cyclic best‐first search (CBFS) strategy is a recent search strategy that has been successfully applied to branch‐and‐bound algorithms in a number of different settings. CBFS is a modification of best‐first search (BFS) that places search tree subproblems into contours which are collections of subproblems grouped in some way, and repeatedly cycles through all non‐empty contours, selecting one subproblem to explore from each. In this article, the theoretical properties of CBFS are analyzed for the first time. CBFS is proved to be a generalization of all other search strategies by using a contour definition that explores the same sequence of subproblems as any other search strategy. Further, a bound is proved between the number of subproblems explored by BFS and the number of children generated by CBFS, given a fixed branching strategy and set of pruning rules. Finally, a discussion of heuristic contour‐labeling functions is provided, and proof‐of‐concept computational results for mixed‐integer programming problems from the MIPLIB 2010 database are shown. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To catch an intruder: Part A—uncluttered scenario

We analyze an interdiction scenario where an interceptor attempts to catch an intruder as the intruder moves through the area of interest. A motivating example is the detection and interdiction of drug smuggling vessels in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean. We study two models in this article. The first considers a nonstrategic target that moves through the area without taking evasive action to avoid the interdictor. We determine the optimal location the interceptor should position itself to best respond when a target arrives. The second model analyzes the strategic interaction between the interceptor and intruder using a Blotto approach. The intruder chooses a route to travel on and the interceptor chooses a route to patrol. We model the interaction as a two‐player game with a bilinear payoff function. We compute the optimal strategy for both players and examine several extensions. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 64: 29–40, 2017     

Augmented nested sampling for stochastic programs with recourse and endogenous uncertainty

We propose a novel simulation‐based approach for solving two‐stage stochastic programs with recourse and endogenous (decision dependent) uncertainty. The proposed augmented nested sampling approach recasts the stochastic optimization problem as a simulation problem by treating the decision variables as random. The optimal decision is obtained via the mode of the augmented probability model. We illustrate our methodology on a newsvendor problem with stock‐dependent uncertain demand both in single and multi‐item (news‐stand) cases. We provide performance comparisons with Markov chain Monte Carlo and traditional Monte Carlo simulation‐based optimization schemes. Finally, we conclude with directions for future research.     

Satellite constellation design for forest fire monitoring via a stochastic programing approach

There is significant value in the data collected by satellites during and after a natural disaster. The current operating paradigm in practice is for satellites to passively collect data when they happen to fly over a disaster location. Conversely, this article considers the alternative approach of actively maneuvering satellites to fly directly overhead of the disaster site on a routine basis. Toward this end, we seek to compute a satellite constellation design that minimizes the expected maneuver costs for monitoring an unknown forest fire. In this article, we present a 2‐stage stochastic programing model for this problem as well as a accelerated L‐shaped decomposition approach. A comparison between our approach and the current operating paradigm indicates that our solution provides longer duration data collections and a greater number of data collections. Analysis also shows that our proposed solution is robust over a wide array of scenarios.     

多机吊放声纳对潜警戒扇面动态计算方法

针对多架反潜直升机使用吊放声纳搜索时的对潜警戒扇面动态计算问题,根据搜索方法建立多机悬停点坐标解算模型;采用等效的方法,将当前悬停点吊放声纳的探测区域与所有已完成探测的悬停点不存在潜艇的区域等效为对潜警戒范围进行计算;建立了各悬停点探测区域相对舰艇编队舷角的动态计算模型;给出了动态计算多机对潜警戒扇面起始、终止舷角的计算方法。最后仿真计算了对潜警戒扇面随搜索时间、间距系数的动态变化关系。结果显示:对潜警戒扇面将在一定范围内周期性动态变化;且受间距系数的影响较大。
