不确定环境下基于时间、费用及鲁棒性权衡的多目标项目调度优化

项目调度中的时间和费用是两个重要的指标,而在不确定环境下进度计划的鲁棒性则是保证项目平稳实施的关键。本文研究不确定环境下的多目标项目调度优化问题,以优化项目的工期、鲁棒值和成本为目标安排各活动的开始时间。基于此,作者构建多目标项目调度优化模型,将模型分解为三个子模型分析目标间的权衡关系,然后设计非劣排序遗传算法进行求解,应用精英保留策略和基于子模型权衡关系的优化策略优化算法,进行算法测试和算例参数敏感性分析。最后,应用上述方法研究一个项目实例,计算得到非劣解集,实例的敏感性分析结果进一步验证了三个目标间的权衡关系,据此提出资源的有效利用策略。本文的研究可以为多目标项目调度制定进度计划提供定量化决策支持。

A coefficient identification problem for a mathematical model related to ductal carcinoma in situ

We consider a coefficient identification problem for a mathematical model with free boundary related to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This inverse problem aims to determine the nutrient consumption rate from additional measurement data at a boundary point. We first obtain a global‐in‐time uniqueness of our inverse problem. Then based on the optimization method, we present a regularization algorithm to recover the nutrient consumption rate. Finally, our numerical experiment shows the effectiveness of the proposed numerical method.     

Identifying mutated driver pathways in cancer by integrating multi-omics data

Since the driver pathway in cancer plays a crucial role in the formation and progression of cancer, it is very imperative to identify driver pathways, which will offer important information for precision medicine or personalized medicine. In this paper, an improved maximum weight submatrix problem model is proposed by integrating such three kinds of omics data as somatic mutations, copy number variations, and gene expressions. The model tries to adjust coverage and mutual exclusivity with the average weight of genes in a pathway, and simultaneously considers the correlation among genes, so that the pathway having high coverage but moderate mutual exclusivity can be identified. By introducing a kind of short chromosome code and a greedy based recombination operator, a parthenogenetic algorithm PGA-MWS is presented to solve the model. Experimental comparisons among algorithms GA, MOGA, iMCMC and PGA-MWS were performed on biological and simulated data sets. The experimental results show that, compared with the other three algorithms, the PGA-MWS one based on the improved model can identify the gene sets with high coverage but moderate mutual exclusivity and scales well. Many of the identified gene sets are involved in known signaling pathways, most of the implicated genes are oncogenes or tumor suppressors previously reported in literatures. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach may become a useful complementary tool for detecting cancer pathways.     

Entropic effect implication for change in polymer coils swelling state in the demixing enthalpy recovery of aqueous poly(vinyl methyl ether) solutions

Time‐dependent demixing enthalpy recovery behavior of aqueous poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) solutions exhibits distinct recovery characteristics in three concentration regions. The absence of recovery behavior below a water concentration of 38.3 wt % indicates that the PVME coil is in a globular state. The typically sigmoidal recovery behavior of demixing enthalpy above 38.3 wt % is ascribed to the reswelling of the collapsed polymer coils induced by the entropic effect. The increase in difference between the upper and lower limits indicates the continued swelling of the PVME coils. Above 65 wt %, a dominant diluting effect can be observed, and a much longer phase separation time is needed to reach the expected lower limit. In contrast, the recovery of demixing enthalpy in a wide range of water concentration (from 38.3 to 90 wt %) exhibits the same feature. The infrared spectroscopy results are in agreement with the above macroscopic differential scanning calorimetry results. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

The martingale problem for a class of nonlocal operators of diagonal type

We consider systems of stochastic differential equations of the form $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill d{X}_t^i=\sum _{j=1}^d{A}_{ij}\left(X_{t?}\right)d{Z}_t^j\end{array}$$ for $i=1,?,d$ with continuous, bounded and non‐degenerate coefficients. Here $Z_t^1,?,Z_t^d$ are independent one‐dimensional stable processes with ${\alpha }_1,?,{\alpha }_d\in (0,2)$. In this article we research on uniqueness of weak solutions to such systems by studying the corresponding martingale problem. We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions in the case of diagonal coefficient matrices.
