Military expenditure and income distribution in South Korea

This paper attempts to investigate the long-run and the causal relationship between military expenditure and income distribution in South Korea for the period 1965–2011. Applying the bounds test approach to cointegration, we found a long-run relationship between military expenditure and the Gini coefficient with military expenditure having a positive and a statistically significant impact on income inequality. A 1% rise in military expenditure increased the Gini coefficient by 0.38%. Application of the lag-augmented causality test also reveals a unidirectional causality running from military expenditure to income inequality. The evidence seems to suggest that devoting more resources to the military sector may further worsen income inequality in South Korea.     

基于MC-CNN网络的磁性舰船目标运动参数估计

传统磁性目标运动估计效果依赖于目标的初始状态信息,为克服这一缺陷,建立了磁性运动目标三分量投影模型,并据此生成了磁性舰船运动目标在运动速度、航向、信噪比等参数变化情况下的10类目标的训练数据集、验证数据集以及测试数据集。进一步,设计了多通道卷积神经网络（MC-CNN）对目标的正横距离和运动速度进行了估计,并比较和分析了不同的学习方式和激活函数对网络性能的影响,结果表明Adam+tanh的组合方式的估计性能要优于其它的组合方式,而且对磁性目标运动参数的估计效果比较精确,此方法相较于卡尔曼滤波、粒子滤波等估计算法的优越性在于运算复杂度低以及参数估计不需要目标初始状态信息。     

面向癫痫脑电的简化深度学习模型

针对脑电信号随机性强、动态变化迅速等特点,提出了一种简化深度学习模型研究癫痫脑电识别问题。提出的模型以一维卷积神经网络为基础,在结构方面简化了卷积层、池化层等以提高模型效率,在整体框架方面应用了Keras框架,在训练优化算法方面采用RMSProp算法作为模型优化算法,通过预定义的目标函数来进行损失估计,模型设计上加入了批标准化层和全局均值池化层。基于所提模型,从三个方面研究了癫痫脑电识别问题,即:利用经验模态分解,分别选取前三阶、前五阶、前七阶、前八阶的本征模态函数分量,在简化模型上进行对比分析;利用提出模型所具备的深度学习特点,直接识别原始脑电信号而无须特征提取环节;增加了三种不同方法分别提取7类特征,对相同的脑电数据进行对比分析。性能分析结果表明:对于五类不同的脑电信号,前三阶的本征模态函数分量的识别率达到92.1%,比其他几种处理方式识别率高;前八阶的本征模态分量识别率不及原始信号,表明人工数据处理时会给数据带来噪声; 所提出的简化深度学习模型能高效处理癫痫脑电识别问题,具备较高效率和较好性能。     

An integer decomposition algorithm for solving a two‐stage facility location problem with second‐stage activation costs

We study a stochastic scenario‐based facility location problem arising in situations when facilities must first be located, then activated in a particular scenario before they can be used to satisfy scenario demands. Unlike typical facility location problems, fixed charges arise in the initial location of the facilities, and then in the activation of located facilities. The first‐stage variables in our problem are the traditional binary facility‐location variables, whereas the second‐stage variables involve a mix of binary facility‐activation variables and continuous flow variables. Benders decomposition is not applicable for these problems due to the presence of the second‐stage integer activation variables. Instead, we derive cutting planes tailored to the problem under investigation from recourse solution data. These cutting planes are derived by solving a series of specialized shortest path problems based on a modified residual graph from the recourse solution, and are tighter than the general cuts established by Laporte and Louveaux for two‐stage binary programming problems. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of our approach on a variety of randomly generated test problems. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2010

Energy‐efficient scheduling for sustainable manufacturing systems with renewable energy resources

Environmentally friendly energy resources open a new opportunity to tackle the problem of energy security and climate change arising from wide use of fossil fuels. This paper focuses on optimizing the allocation of the energy generated by the renewable energy system to minimize the total electricity cost for sustainable manufacturing systems under time‐of‐use tariff by clipping the peak demand. A rolling horizon approach is adopted to handle the uncertainty caused by the weather change. A nonlinear mathematical programming model is established for each decision epoch based on the predicted energy generation and the probability distribution of power demand in the manufacturing plant. The objective function of the model is shown to be convex, Lipchitz‐continuous, and subdifferentiable. A generalized benders decomposition method based on the primal‐dual subgradient descent algorithm is proposed to solve the model. A series of numerical experiments is conducted to show the effectiveness of the solution approach and the significant benefits of using the renewable energy resources.     

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.
