The building evacuation problem with shared information

In this article, the Building Evacuation Problem with Shared Information (BEPSI) is formulated as a mixed integer linear program, where the objective is to determine the set of routes along which to send evacuees (supply) from multiple locations throughout a building (sources) to the exits (sinks) such that the total time until all evacuees reach the exits is minimized. The formulation explicitly incorporates the constraints of shared information in providing online instructions to evacuees, ensuring that evacuees departing from an intermediate or source location at a mutual point in time receive common instructions. Arc travel time and capacity, as well as supply at the nodes, are permitted to vary with time and capacity is assumed to be recaptured over time. The BEPSI is shown to be NP‐hard. An exact technique based on Benders decomposition is proposed for its solution. Computational results from numerical experiments on a real‐world network representing a four‐story building are given. Results of experiments employing Benders cuts generated in solving a given problem instance as initial cuts in addressing an updated problem instance are also provided. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

高精度有限体积格式在三维曲线坐标系下的应用

为了构造在光滑区具有较高分辨率并且可以无振荡捕捉激波的高精度有限体积格式,同时降低格式在模板选择上遇到的困难,基于逐维重构方法,发展了结构网格下的高精度有限体积格式,并将这一格式推广到三维曲线坐标系下,从而可以适应相对复杂外形下的计算。为充分验证格式的有效性,选取一系列典型算例进行计算:在等熵涡输运和二维喷管流动中验证了格式的精度可以达到设计精度;在双马赫反射问题中格式也表现出良好的捕捉激波的能力。数值计算表明,上述格式在曲线网格上具有较高的数值精度和鲁棒的激波捕捉能力,适用于流体力学方程的计算。     

Estimating failure time distribution and its parameters based on intermediate data from a Wiener degradation model

Instead of measuring a Wiener degradation or performance process at predetermined time points to track degradation or performance of a product for estimating its lifetime, we propose to obtain the first‐passage times of the process over certain nonfailure thresholds. Based on only these intermediate data, we obtain the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator and uniformly most accurate confidence interval for the mean lifetime. For estimating the lifetime distribution function, we propose a modified maximum likelihood estimator and a new estimator and prove that, by increasing the sample size of the intermediate data, these estimators and the above‐mentioned estimator of the mean lifetime can achieve the same levels of accuracy as the estimators assuming one has failure times. Thus, our method of using only intermediate data is useful for highly reliable products when their failure times are difficult to obtain. Furthermore, we show that the proposed new estimator of the lifetime distribution function is more accurate than the standard and modified maximum likelihood estimators. We also obtain approximate confidence intervals for the lifetime distribution function and its percentiles. Finally, we use light‐emitting diodes as an example to illustrate our method and demonstrate how to validate the Wiener assumption during the testing. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

内置频率对Duffing振子微弱二进制相移键控信号盲检测影响

采用Duffing振子实现对微弱二进制相移键控（Binary Phase Shift Keying, BPSK）信号的盲检测时，Duffing系统输出的周期态和混沌态转换之间存在过渡带。针对这一问题，推导出过渡带时长和Duffing系统内置频率之间的关系表达式；指出内置频率越高，过渡带时间越短；仿真实验给出时间频率响应曲线。内置频率的提高，会降低系统检测微弱信号的灵敏度。针对这一问题，推导出周期态下Duffing系统输出幅度作为因变量、内置频率作为自变量的表达式；仿真实验给出幅频响应曲线。针对微弱BPSK信号盲检测，建立变尺度方法和检测阵列相结合的基于S变换提取Duffing系统输出幅度包络的微弱BPSK信号盲检测模型，仿真实验验证了模型方法的有效性。
