Synchronization criteria in complex dynamical networks with nonsymmetric coupling and multiple time-varying delays

In this article, we consider a generalized complex dynamical network model with nonsymmetric coupling, and the dynamics of each node has a different time-varying delay. Criteria of exponential synchronization are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the model by constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals. The obtained outcomes are different from those in the current literature, in which the complex dynamical networks are coupling symmetrically and delays are fixed constants. Moreover, the given sufficient conditions extend current available results and are verifiable. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the efficiency of the derived outcome.     

非时齐扩散模型中时变参数的局部线性估计

本文主要研究非时齐扩散模型中时变的漂移参数和扩散参数的局部线性估计。基于非时齐扩散模型的离散观测样本,首先得到了漂移参数的局部线性估计及其标准误差。然后,考虑到扩散参数的非负性,本文利用局部对数线性拟合的方法得到了扩散参数的核函数加权估计,并讨论了扩散项估计的渐近偏差、渐近方差和渐近正态性。最后,通过模拟研究表明所得局部估计有很好的拟合效果。     

Synchronization of networks with time-varying couplings

In this paper, we present a review of our recent works on complete synchro-nization analyses of networks of the coupled dynamical systems with time-varying cou-plings. The main approach is composed of algebraic graph theory and dynamic system method. More precisely, the Hajnal diameter of matrix sequence plays a key role in in-vestigating synchronization dynamics and the joint graph across time periods possessing spanning tree is a doorsill for time-varying topologies to reach synchronization. These techniques with proper modification count for diverse models of networks of the cou-pled systems, including discrete-time and continuous-time models, linear and nonlinear models, deterministic and stochastic time-variations. Alternatively, transverse stability analysis of general time-varying dynamic systems can be employed for synchronization study as a special case and proved to be equivalent to Hajnal diameter.     

Robust reward–risk ratio optimization with application in allocation of generation asset

In this article, we study reward–risk ratio models under partially known message of random variables, which is called robust (worst-case) performance ratio problem. Based on the positive homogenous and concave/convex measures of reward and risk, respectively, the new robust ratio model is reduced equivalently to convex optimization problems with a min–max optimization framework. Under some specially partial distribution situation, the convex optimization problem is converted into simple framework involving the expectation reward measure and conditional value-at-risk measure. Compared with the existing reward–risk portfolio research, the proposed ratio model has two characteristics. First, the addressed problem combines with two different aspects. One is to consider an incomplete information case in real-life uncertainty. The other is to focus on the performance ratio optimization problem, which can realize the best balance between the reward and risk. Second, the complicated optimization model is transferred into a simple convex optimization problem by the optimal dual theorem. This indeed improves the usability of models. The generation asset allocation in power systems is presented to validate the new models.     

Lyapunov-Like Solutions to Stability Problems for Discrete-Time Systems on Asymptotically Contractive Sets

This paper presents new criteria for stability properties of discrete-time non-stationary systems. The criteria are based on the concept of asymptotically contractive sets. As a result, general necessary conditions are established for asymptotic stability of the zero equilibrium state, the instantaneous asymptotic stability domain of which can be either time-invariant or time-varying and then possibly asymptotically contractive. It is shown that the classical Lyapunov stability conditions including the invariance principle by LaSalle cannot be applied to the stability test as soon as the system instantaneous domain of asymptotic stability is asymptotically contractive. In order to investigate asymptotic stability of the zero state in such a case novel criteria are established. Under the criteria the total first time difference of a system Lyapunov function may be non-positive only and still can guarantee asymptotic stability of the zero state. The results are illustrated by examples.

Exponential stability and applications of switched positive linear impulsive systems with time-varying delays and all unstable subsystems

The global uniform exponential stability of switched positive linear impulsive systems with time-varying delays and all unstable subsystems is studied in this paper, which includes two types of distributed time-varying delays and discrete time-varying delays. Switching behaviors dominating the switched systems can be either stabilizing and destabilizing in the new designed switching sequence. We design new linear programming algorithm process to find the feasible ratio of stabilizing switching behaviors, which can be compensated by unstable subsystems, destabilizing switching behaviors, and impulses. Specically, we add a kind of nonnegative impulses which is consistent with the switching behaviors for the systems. Employing a multiple co-positive Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we present several new sufficient stability criteria and design new switching sequence. Then, we apply the obtained stability criteria to the exponential consensus of linear delayed multi-agent systems, and obtain the new exponential consensus criteria. Three simulations are provided to demonstrate the proposed stability criteria.     

具变时滞的非线性退化微分系统的渐近稳定性判据

In this paper, the asymptotic stability for singular differential nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays is considered. The V-functional method for general singular differential delay system is investigated. The asymptotic stability criteria for singular differential nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays are derived based on V-functional method and some analytical techniques, which are described as matrix equations or matrix inequalities. The results obtained are computationally flexible and efficient.     

基于Copula的供应链金融质物组合价格风险测度研究

本文选取白银、铝和铜三种供应链金融质物作为研究对象,在分析三种质物收益率统计特征的基础上,引入Copula模型刻画供应链金融业务中质物收益率的“尖峰厚尾”特征以及质物收益率之间的非线性相关结构;采用Monte Carlo模拟方法测度考虑到极端情况下的质物组合价格风险值CVaR;利用时间平方根法则测度长周期视角下质物组合的价格风险。将CVaR与VaR测度结果进行对比,比较分析短期价格风险与长期价格风险,将Copula模型与传统风险测度方法下计算出的风险值进行对比,以期选取最优测度供应链金融质物组合长期价格风险模型。研究结果表明:从单一质物价格波动特征来看,三种单一质物的收益率均存在非正态分布和“尖峰厚尾”特征,具有一般金融资产收益率分布的特点。从模型的有效性来看,第一,CVaR比VaR能够更好地、全面地测度供应链金融质物组合的价格风险;第二,基于Copula模型的风险测度结果比传统集成风险测度结果的准确性高;第三,平方欧式距离法结果表明在五种Copula模型中,t-Copula是最优刻画供应链金融质物组合收益率间的相依关系的模型。从长短期风险测度结果来看,随着风险期限的增加,质物组合的价格风险值随之增大,以往研究中用短期风险测度往往会低估商业银行所面临的价格风险,不利于商业银行资金信贷的优化配置。得到的结论对我国商业银行开展供应链金融业务防范价格风险提供了量化支持。     

CVaR准则下两条供应链的促销努力竞争与链内协调研究

研究两条供应链相互竞争下决策者风险厌恶程度的影响和链内协调问题。针对两条分别由风险中性制造商和风险厌恶零售商组成、进行订货与促销竞争的可替代产品供应链,假定需求随机且依赖于促销努力水平与产品合格率,利用条件风险值(CVaR)方法和博弈理论建立了对应两条供应链均为分散式供应链(DD模式)、均为集中式供应链(II模式)、一条为分散式供应链一条为集中式供应链(DI模式)的EPEC、Nash和MPEC竞争决策模型,给出了三种模式下的竞争均衡决策、以及零售商为风险厌恶者时可实现链内协调的回购加促销补贴契约。进一步分析了零售商风险中性情况。最后的算例验证了模型的合理性和协调契约的有效性。研究表明,零售商越厌恶风险,其订货量越低;产品合格率越高,零售商的促销努力水平越大;供应链协调是供应链竞争下的占优策略。
