Effect of Modeling Uncertainty on Some Routing Problems

In this paper, we consider the routing problem described in Mohanty and Cassandras (Ref. 1). As in Ref. 1, we show that the optimal Bernoulli split to minimize mean time in the system is asymptotically independent of the variance of the service time. We give simple proofs of the results in that paper. We exploit the fact that the optimal split to minimize the mean queueing time is variance independent and the special structure of the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker optimality conditions to derive the optimal solution. Apart from being very straightforward, the proofs also give insight into the reason for the existence of the variance-independent asymptotically optimal routing policy.     

A transformed random effects model with applications

This paper proposes a transformed random effects model for analyzing non-normal panel data where both the response and (some of) the covariates are subject to transformations for inducing flexible functional form, normality, homoscedasticity, and simple model structure. We develop a maximum likelihood procedure for model estimation and inference, along with a computational device which makes the estimation procedure feasible in cases of large panels. We provide model specification tests that take into account the fact that parameter values for error components cannot be negative. We illustrate the model and methods with two applications: state production and wage distribution. The empirical results strongly favor the new model to the standard ones where either linear or log-linear functional form is employed. Monte Carlo simulation shows that maximum likelihood inference is quite robust against mild departure from normality. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Noise in a Small Genetic Circuit that Undergoes Bifurcation

Based on the consideration of Boolean dynamics, it has been hypothesized that cell types may correspond to alternative attractors of a gene regulatory network. Recent stochastic Boolean network analysis, however, raised the important question concerning the stability of such attractors. In this paper a detailed numerical analysis is performed within the framework of Langevin dynamics. While the present results confirm that the noise is indeed an important dynamical element, the cell type as represented by attractors can still be a viable hypothesis. It is found that the stability of an attractor depends on the strength of noise related to the distance of the system to the bifurcation point and it can be exponentially stable depending on biological parameters.

基于可调负载重分配的无标度网络连锁效应分析

为了深入研究复杂网络抵制连锁故障的全局鲁棒性,针对现实网络上的负载重分配规则常常是介于全局分配与最近邻分配、均匀分配与非均匀分配的特点,围绕负荷这一影响连锁故障发生和传播最重要的物理量以及节点崩溃后的动力学过程,提出了一种可调负载重分配范围与负载重分配异质性的复杂网络连锁故障模型,并分析了该模型在无标度网络上的连锁故障条件.数值模拟获得了复杂网络抵制连锁故障的鲁棒性与模型中参数的关系.此外,基于网络负载分配规则的分析以及理论解析的推导,验证了数值模拟结论,也证明在最近邻与全局分配两种规则下都存在负载分配均匀性参数等于初始负荷强度参数即β=τ使得网络抵御连锁故障的能力最强.     

Linear response of tripartite entanglement to infinitesimal noise

Recent experimental progress in prolonging the coherence time of a quantum system prompts us to explore the behavior of quantum entanglement at the beginning of the decoherence process. The response of the entanglement under an infinitesimal noise can serve as a signature of the robustness of entangled states. A crucial problem of this topic in multipartite systems is to compute the degree of entanglement in a mixed state. We find a family of global noise in three-qubit systems, which is composed of four W states. Under its influence, the linear response of the tripartite entanglement of a symmetrical three-qubit pure state is studied. A lower bound of the linear response is found to depend completely on the initial tripartite and bipartite entanglement. This result shows that the decay of tripartite entanglement is hastened by the bipartite one.
