Weak aging properties for coherent systems with statistically dependent component lifetimes

As a relevant topic in reliability theory, the preservation of aging properties under the formation of various coherent structures contributes to improving system performance through better structure design and more effective system maintenance. The classical research in this line usually focuses upon coherent systems with independent component lifetimes. Recently, some authors discussed the preservation of IFR, NBU, and DMRL in the setting of dependent component lifetimes. This paper further investigates sufficient conditions for coherent systems with dependent component lifetimes to preserve aging properties including NBUC, NBU (2), DMRL, and their dual versions. Some examples are presented to illustrate coherent structures and typical copula functions fulfilling the present sufficient conditions as well.     

结合全局与局部信息的主动轮廓分割模型

针对传统的基于区域的主动轮廓模型在分割灰度不均匀图像和噪声图像存在效果不佳的问题,提出结合全局项与局部项的主动轮廓分割模型。全局项由CV(Chan-Vese)模型的保真项构成,局部项的构建考虑局部区域信息的同时引入反映图像灰度特性的局部熵信息。依据图像灰度的特点,选择合理的全局项和局部项参数,并加入正则项保证曲线在演化过程中保持平滑,保障分割结果的可靠性。通过变分水平集方法最小化能量泛函,依据梯度下降流迭代更新水平集,完成曲线演化。采用模拟图像和实际图像进行实验分析,结果表明,所提出的结合全局项和局部项的主动轮廓模型可以高效地分割噪声严重以及灰度分布不均匀的图像。

粗糙集理论作为一种新的处理含糊和不确定性问题的数学工具,已成为国际学术界的一个前沿的研究领域.传统的粗糙集理论只能对数据库中的离散属性进行处理,而绝大多数现实的数据库既包含了离散属性,又包含了连续属性.针对传统粗糙集理论的这一缺陷,提出了一种改进的基于断点重要性的属性离散化方法.最后,通过实例分析说明该方法是有效的.     

A partial characterization of the optimal ordering/rationing policy for a periodic review system with two demand classes and backordering

We consider a finite horizon periodic review, single product inventory system with a fixed setup cost and two stochastic demand classes that differ in their backordering costs. In each period, one must decide whether and how much to order, and how much demand of the lower class should be satisfied. We show that the optimal ordering policy can be characterized as a state dependent (s,S) policy, and the rationing structure is partially obtained based on the subconvexity of the cost function. We then propose a simple heuristic rationing policy, which is easy to implement and close to optimal for intensive numerical examples. We further study the case when the first demand class is deterministic and must be satisfied immediately. We show the optimality of the state dependent (s,S) ordering policy, and obtain additional rationing structural properties. Based on these properties, the optimal ordering and rationing policy for any state can be generated by finding the optimal policy of only a finite set of states, and for each state in this set, the optimal policy is obtained simply by choosing a policy from at most two alternatives. An efficient algorithm is then proposed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2010     

基于条件熵的不完备信息系统属性约简算法

在相容关系下定义了三种不完备条件熵——H′条件熵、E′条件熵和I′条件熵,并对它们的性质进行了分析比较,研究发现,H′条件熵和I′条件熵不适用于相容关系下信息观点的约简。利用E′条件熵刻画信息系统中属性的相对重要性,设计了一种新的基于信息论观点的启发式约简算法,它统一了完备信息系统与非完备信息系统中的约简方法。通过实例说明,该算法能得到决策表的相对约简。     

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.     

无线认知网络中一种分布式最大频谱分配算法

无线认知网络被认为是下一代无线网络的核心架构之一。该网络能解决日益增长的频谱使用需求和低下的频谱使用率之间的矛盾。通过伺机接入临时可用频谱资源,其频谱利用率能得到大幅的提高。由于频谱资源分配是影响频谱资源利用率的关键,因此如何对频谱资源进行高效的分配一直是无线认知网络的重要研究领域之一。我们证明了在异构频谱使用概率条件下的最优频谱分配是NP难的问题。为了有效解决该问题,本文提出了一种基于分布式最大加权独立集的频谱分配算法——DMWIS。该算法的时间复杂度为O(V2/2)。通过大量的仿真实验,验证了在90%以上的不同随机网络环境下算法能在3轮内收敛,并且该算法一般能获得最优解90%的性能。     

Exact algorithms for scheduling multiple families of jobs on parallel machines

In many practical manufacturing environments, jobs to be processed can be divided into different families such that a setup is required whenever there is a switch from processing a job of one family to another job of a different family. The time for setup could be sequence independent or sequence dependent. We consider two particular scheduling problems relevant to such situations. In both problems, we are given a set of jobs to be processed on a set of identical parallel machines. The objective of the first problem is to minimize total weighted completion time of jobs, and that of the second problem is to minimize weighted number of tardy jobs. We propose column generation based branch and bound exact solution algorithms for the problems. Computational experiments show that the algorithms are capable of solving both problems of medium size to optimality within reasonable computational time. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

适用于认知无线传感器网络的高效频谱分配方法

广泛工作在ISM(Industrial,Scientific and Medical)频段的无线传感器网络面临严重的频谱稀缺问题。在无线通信中,动态频谱分配被认为是提高频谱效能的重要途径。针对典型集中式管理的认知无线传感器网络设计了基于图着色结合负载强度的高效频谱分配算法。首先在协议干扰模型下确保频谱资源在空间上充分利用,随后综合考虑节点负载强度与公平性建立优化模型并按照乘子法加拟牛顿法框架求解最优值。仿真实验表明算法与固定频谱分配方式和传统自适应频谱分配算法相比,在系统吞吐量和节点缓冲区队列长度两个关键性能指标上具有显著优势。
