AHP中专家判断信息的提取及一致性调整的方法

本探讨了层次分析法中专家判断信息的提取以及判断矩阵一致性调整的一种方法，其主要思想是通过提取专家判断矩阵中具有相关逻辑关系的信息进行比较，从而推断出专家自身较为集中的判断结果，并在此基础上对专家判断矩阵进行一致性调整。该方法既能够对不满足一致性要求的专家判断矩阵进行调整，又保证了调整后的专家矩阵所包含的是专家主要的判断信息。最后以一个算例说明方法的实施过程。     

Fermionic construction of the partition function for multimatrix models and the multicomponent Toda lattice hierarchy

We use p-component fermions, p = 2, 3,..., to represent (2p−2)N-fold integrals as a fermionic vacuum expectation. This yields a fermionic representation for various (2p−2)-matrix models. We discuss links with the p-component Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy and also with the p-component Toda lattice hierarchy. We show that the set of all but two flows of the p-component Toda lattice hierarchy changes standard matrix models to new ones.

Means of unitaries, conjugations, and the Friedrichs operator

If C is a conjugation (an isometric, conjugate-linear involution) on a separable complex Hilbert space H, then T∈B(H) is called C-symmetric if T=CT^∗C. In this note we prove that each C-symmetric contraction T is the mean of two C-symmetric unitary operators. We discuss several corollaries and an application to the Friedrichs operator of a planar domain.

Failed disk recovery in double erasure RAID arrays

Reliability is a major concern in the design of large disk arrays. In this paper, we examine the effect of encountering more failures than that for which the RAID array was initially designed. Erasure codes are incorporated to enable system recovery from a specified number of disk erasures, and strive beyond that threshold to recover the system as frequently, and as thoroughly, as is possible. Erasure codes for tolerating two disk failures are examined. For these double erasure codes, we establish a correspondence between system operation and acyclicity of its graph model. For the most compact double erasure code, the full 2-code, this underlies an efficient algorithm for the computation of system operation probability (all disks operating or recoverable).When the system has failed, some disks are nonetheless recoverable. We extend the graph model to determine the probability that d disks have failed, a of which are recoverable by solving one linear equation, b of which are further recoverable by solving systems of linear equations, and d−a−b of which cannot be recovered. These statistics are efficiently calculated for the full 2-code by developing a three variable ordinary generating function whose coefficients give the specified values. Finally, examples are given to illustrate the probability that an individual disk can be recovered, even when the system is in a failed state.     

Combinatorial data analysis: Confirmatory comparisons between sets of matrices

The task of assessing the similarity of pattern between the entries of two square matrices has been discussed extensively over the last decade, as a unifying strategy for approaching a variety of seemingly disparate statistical problems. As typically defined, the comparison depends on a measure of matrix correspondence, usually a normalized cross-product measure of some form, that is evaluated for relative size by the use of a reference distribution constructed through an equally likely permutation hypothesis defined at the level of the objects corresponding to the rows and columns of the two matrices. The extreme generality provided by this very simple framework subsumes a variety of different statistical problems, ranging from the study of spatial autocorrelation for variables observed over a set of geographic locations, to the topics of analysis of variance, the measurement of rank correlation, and confirmation techniques concerned with various conjectures of combinatorial structure that might be posited for an empirically determined measure of relationship between pairs of a given set of objects. The comparison strategies extant always assume that both matrices are fixed, and in those cases where one of the matrices codifies a given theoretical structure to be evaluated according to a second, this assumption can lead to substantial arbitrariness in how matrix similarity might be indexed, and thus, in how the comparison is implemented. As developed in this paper, exactly the same principles appropriate for use in the fixed comparison context can be extended to include matrices constructed through optimally weighted linear combinations of other sets of matrices. This generalization provides one mechanism for developing comparison strategies that allow assessment against very broad classes of matrices, which in turn serve to represent very general conjectures of possible combinatorial structure. This paper reviews some of these extensions in detail, with a particular emphasis on categorical and ordered categorical variables and whether they may reflect an empirically generated measure of object relationship.     

A reciprocity theorem for certain q-series found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook

Three proofs are given for a reciprocity theorem for a certain q-series found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook. The first proof uses Ramanujan’s ₁ψ₁ summation theorem, the second employs an identity of N. J. Fine, and the third is combinatorial. Next, we show that the reciprocity theorem leads to a two variable generalization of the quintuple product identity. The paper concludes with an application to sums of three squares.

Butyltin speciation in sediments and biological samples by hydride generation gas chromatography quartz furnace atomic absorption spectrometry; a study of acid leaching procedures and hydride generation

The efficiency of the extraction of butyltin compounds from sediments and biological matter by acid leaching procedures has been evaluated on real samples using the hydride generation gas chromatography quartz furnace atomic absorption (GC AA) speciation method. The most efficient method uses cold pure acetic acid over a period of four hours. Hydride generation using sodium tetrahydroborate (NaBH₄) is dependent on matrix composition and care must be taken to adapt the amount of reactant to the organic content of the sample.
