Technical note: Finite-time regret analysis of Kiefer-Wolfowitz stochastic approximation algorithm and nonparametric multi-product dynamic pricing with unknown demand

We consider the problem of nonparametric multi-product dynamic pricing with unknown demand and show that the problem may be formulated as an online model-free stochastic program, which can be solved by the classical Kiefer-Wolfowitz stochastic approximation (KWSA) algorithm. We prove that the expected cumulative regret of the KWSA algorithm is bounded above by where κ₁, κ₂ are positive constants and T is the number of periods for any T = 1, 2, … . Therefore, the regret of the KWSA algorithm grows in the order of , which achieves the lower bounds known for parametric dynamic pricing problems and shows that the nonparametric problems are not necessarily more difficult to solve than the parametric ones. Numerical experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed KW pricing policy by comparing with some pricing policies in the literature.

The People’s Liberation Army and China’s Smart Power Quandary in Southeast Asia

Abstract

China has a strong interest in pursuing a smart power strategy towards Southeast Asia and has worked laboriously to engage with regional countries economically, socially, and politically. But China has been only partially successful in achieving its goals in the region. This paper argues that China’s security policy towards Southeast Asia significantly contradicts many other objectives that Beijing wishes to accomplish. Given the deep-seated, narrowly-defined national interests of the Chinese military in the South China Sea disputes, it is likely that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will continue to pose the main obstacle to the effective implementation of a Chinese smart strategy in Southeast Asia.

Irreversible demagnetization mechanism of permanent magnets during electromagnetic buffering

The permanent magnets will be irreversibly demagnetized under high temperature and high velocity during the electromagnetic buffering. In this study, the magnetic field induced by eddy currents and the self-demagnetizing field of permanent magnet are taken into consideration together for demagnetiza-tion analyse. The magnetic Reynolds number is used to express the eddy currents demagnetization. The correction coefficient being expressed as the index of the air-gap width, the inner cylinder thickness, iron pole axial length and the permanent magnet demagnetization coefficient is introduced by magnetic path analysis to represent the self-demagnetization effect and the demagnetization extent. The electromag-netic buffer (EMB) prototype is tested under intensive impact loads of different strengths at room temperature. The accuracy of the nonlinear irreversible demagnetization finite element model is verified by demagnetization on damping force, velocity and displacement. Finally, high-velocity demagnetization and high-temperature demagnetization are analysed in order to obtain the distribution law of irre-versible demagnetization.
