A sequential dynamic pricing model and its applications

Consider a sequential dynamic pricing model where a seller sells a given stock to a random number of customers. Arriving one at a time, each customer will purchase one item if the product price is lower than her personal reservation price. The seller's objective is to post a potentially different price for each customer in order to maximize the expected total revenue. We formulate the seller's problem as a stochastic dynamic programming model, and develop an algorithm to compute the optimal policy. We then apply the results from this sequential dynamic pricing model to the case where customers arrive according to a continuous‐time point process. In particular, we derive tight bounds for the optimal expected revenue, and develop an asymptotically optimal heuristic policy. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004.     

Development programs for one‐shot systems using multiple‐state design reliability models

Design reliability at the beginning of a product development program is typically low, and development costs can account for a large proportion of total product cost. We consider how to conduct development programs (series of tests and redesigns) for one‐shot systems (which are destroyed at first use or during testing). In rough terms, our aim is to both achieve high final design reliability and spend as little of a fixed budget as possible on development. We employ multiple‐state reliability models. Dynamic programming is used to identify a best test‐and‐redesign strategy and is shown to be presently computationally feasible for at least 5‐state models. Our analysis is flexible enough to allow for the accelerated stress testing needed in the case of ultra‐high reliability requirements, where testing otherwise provides little information on design reliability change. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

弹道导弹防御中拦截弹最优分层配置

多层弹道导弹防御系统在助推段、飞行中段或再入段不同阶段实施拦截,可有效提高系统拦截概率,不同拦截阶段存在拦截弹最优配比问题。为了解决拦截弹道导弹过程中的最优分层配置的问题,本文分别以单层、双层、三层这三种拦截系统为例,通过公式演算和计算机仿真,得出了分段拦截弹道导弹时、不同拦截阶段的拦截弹之间的数量比与整体拦截成功率之间的关系;并提出了整体拦截成功率的概念。经仿真表明,在整体拦截成功率给定的情况下,使用本文所得出的不同拦截段之间所需拦截弹数目之间的最优比,可以最大限度地降低弹道导弹的拦截成本。

UCAV空面多目标攻击三维轨迹规划技术

研究了单架无人作战飞机(UCAV)攻击多个地面目标的三维轨迹规划问题。首先,将问题形式化为一类特殊的旅行商问题(TSP),即带动力学约束的邻域访问TSP问题(DCTSPN)。其次,针对规划空间维度过高、搜索代价过大的问题,提出了一种基于概率路标图(PRM)的方法。该方法借鉴了基于采样的运动规划方法的思想,并结合多种组合优化技术,将原本连续状态空间中的轨迹规划问题转化为离散拓扑图上的路由问题。求解过程分为离线预处理和在线查询两个阶段。离线阶段采用Halton拟随机采样算法及Noon-Bean转换方法,将原问题转化为经典的非对称旅行商问题(ATSP);在线阶段根据战场态势的实时变化,快速更新路标图,然后采用LKH算法在线求解问题的近似最优解。为了保证生成的飞行轨迹满足平台的运动学/动力学约束,算法基于Gauss伪谱法构建了局部轨迹规划器。最后,以攻击时间最短为优化指标对算法进行了仿真实验。结果表明,本文提出的方法能够以较高的精度和在线收敛速度生成真实可行的、较优的多目标攻击轨迹。

A branch and bound algorithm for sector allocation of a naval task group

A naval task group (TG) is a collection of naval combatants and auxiliaries that are grouped together for the accomplishment of one or more missions. Ships forming a TG are located in predefined sectors. We define determination of ship sector locations to provide a robust air defense formation as the sector allocation problem (SAP). A robust formation is one that is very effective against a variety of attack scenarios but not necessarily the most effective against any scenario. We propose a 0‐1 integer linear programming formulation for SAP. The model takes the size and the direction of threat into account as well as the defensive weapons of the naval TG. We develop tight lower and upper bounds by incorporating some valid inequalities and use a branch and bound algorithm to exactly solve SAP. We report computational results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution approach. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2011
