Diagonally Implicit RungeKutta (DIRK) methods are developedand applied to differentialalgebraic systems arisingfrom dynamic process simulation. In particular, an embeddedfamily of DIRK methods is developed for implementation as avariable-step variable-order algorithm. The methods developedallow easy assessment of local solution error as well as theability to change the order of approximation. The stabilityproperties of the methods are chosen to make them suitable foruse on stiff systems. Some important aspects of implementation of DIRK methods arediscussed within the context of the solution of differentialalgebraicsystems. The performance of this algorithm is compared withan alternative variable-order approach based on "triples" whichallows the patching together of several fixed-order formulae.The results indicate that the fully embedded DIRK algorithmis generally more efficient than the algorithm based on "triples".Areas of further investigation in the context of differentialalgebraicsystems are outlined. 相似文献

A finite-element front-tracking method, which avoids explicittreatment of the jump condition on the phase boundary, is proposed.This method is based on the discretization of a weak enthalpyformulation with isoparametric spacetime finite elements.A one-dimensional two-phase problem and a two-dimensional one-phaseproblem are solved by this method. Then the method is appliedto a generalized Stefan problemthe spot-welding problemand extended to the alloy-solidification problem. Numerical experiments show that this method is convergent andunconditionally stable and that second-order convergence canbe expected if the biquadratic elements are used for one-dimensionalproblems. The effectiveness of this method is, in particular,shown in solving the last two problems. 相似文献

Exact and approximate solutions of the initialboundaryvalue problem for the Kortewegde Vries equation on thesemi-infinite line are found. These solutions are found forboth constant and time-dependent boundary values. The form ofthe solution is found to depend markedly on the specific boundaryand initial value. In particular, multiple solutions and nonsteadysolutions are possible. The analytical solutions are comparedwith numerical solutions of the Kortewegde Vries equationand are found to be in good agreement. 相似文献

The paper presents an approach based on the principles of immune systems applied to the anomaly detection problem. Flexibility
and efficiency of the anomaly detection system are achieved by building a model of the network behavior based on the self–nonself
space paradigm. Covering both self and nonself spaces by hyperrectangular structures is proposed. The structures corresponding
to self-space are built using a training set from this space. The hyperrectangular detectors covering nonself space are created
using a niching genetic algorithm. A coevolutionary algorithm is proposed to enhance this process. The results of experiments
show a high quality of intrusion detection, which outperform the quality of the recently proposed approach based on a hypersphere
representation of the self-space.

** Email: m.wright{at}lancaster.ac.uk This paper describes the problem faced every year by New ZealandCricket in scheduling the principal inter-regional fixtures.This is a combinatorial optimization problem with few constraintsbut many objectives, which are described in detail. A techniqueknown as Subcost-Guided Simulated Annealing is used to solvethis problem, producing one or more schedules of high quality.One particular feature of the problem requires great carethedetermination of adequate neighbourhoods for such a tightlyconstrained problem, where most simple changes lead to infeasibility.The approach adopted is to use a complex and unorthodox definitionof a perturbation, each one leading to several possible neighbouringsolutions which are generated by means of a tree search procedure.The system will be used in practice for the 20032004cricket season and beyond. 相似文献

In this article, we discuss whiteboard math movies (a.k.a. mathcasts)and their applications to mathematics education. A whiteboardmath (wbm) movie is a screen recording of writing plus voiceand/or text explaining a mathematical concept or solving a problem.The movie is then produced to Flash movie format and distributedvia CD or Internet. The wbm movies are the ultimate in asynchronouslearningproviding a simple and inexpensive means of interactionat the teacherstudent, teacherteacher, studentteacherand studentstudent level. With wbm movies both the creatorand the viewer get to see and hear the mathematical thinkingstep-by-step. They get the process and not just the result andthey can have it when and as many times as they want. We talkabout how Tim Fahlberg came up with this idea over 8 years agoand describe the developments in technologythat are atleast partially the result of our team's workthat nowmake wbm movie making a cost-efficient, effective and even afun way of truly learning mathematics. 相似文献

A Genetic Programming based approach for solving classification problems is presented in this paper. Classification is understood
as the act of placing an object into a set of categories, based on the object’s properties; classification algorithms are
designed to learn a function which maps a vector of object features into one of several classes. This is done by analyzing
a set of input-output examples (“training samples”) of the function. Here we present a method based on the theory of Genetic
Algorithms and Genetic Programming that interprets classification problems as optimization problems: Each presented instance
of the classification problem is interpreted as an instance of an optimization problem, and a solution is found by a heuristic
optimization algorithm. The major new aspects presented in this paper are advanced algorithmic concepts as well as suitable
genetic operators for this problem class (mainly the creation of new hypotheses by merging already existing ones and their
detailed evaluation). The experimental part of the paper documents the results produced using new hybrid variants of Genetic
Algorithms as well as investigated parameter settings. Graphical analysis is done using a novel multiclass classifier analysis
concept based on the theory of Receiver Operating Characteristic curves.

The curse of dimensionality means that, though many stochasticsequential decision problems can be modelled as dynamic-programmingproblems, their memory requirements and large solution timesmake them impracticable to solve on most serial computers. Thispaper looks at an example of such a problemthe optimalportfolio of purchase contractswhichwas solved usinga parallel computer and a LAN of workstations. It concentrateson two questions related to the solution of this problem. 相似文献

The paper investigates model reduction techniques that are based on a nonlocal quasi-continuum-like approach. These techniques
reduce a large optimization problem to either a system of nonlinear equations or another optimization problem that are expressed
in a smaller number of degrees of freedom. The reduction is based on the observation that many of the components of the solution
of the original optimization problem are well approximated by certain interpolation operators with respect to a restricted
set of representative components. Under certain assumptions, the “optimize and interpolate” and the “interpolate and optimize”
approaches result in a regular nonlinear equation and an optimization problem whose solutions are close to the solution of
the original problem, respectively. The validity of these assumptions is investigated by using examples from potential-based
and electronic structure-based calculations in Materials Science models. A methodology is presented for using quasi-continuum-like
model reduction for real-space DFT computations in the absence of periodic boundary conditions. The methodology is illustrated
using a basic Thomas–Fermi–Dirac case study. 相似文献

Haplotype Inference is a challenging problem in bioinformatics that consists in inferring the basic genetic constitution of diploid organisms on the basis of their genotype. This information allows researchers to perform association studies for the genetic variants involved in diseases and the individual responses to therapeutic agents. A notable approach to the problem is to encode it as a combinatorial problem (under certain hypotheses, such as the pure parsimony criterion) and to solve it using off-the-shelf combinatorial optimization techniques. The main methods applied to Haplotype Inference are either simple greedy heuristic or exact methods (Integer Linear Programming, Semidefinite Programming, SAT and pseudo-boolean encoding) that, at present, are adequate only for moderate size instances. In this paper, we present and discuss an approach based on the combination of local search metaheuristics and a reduction procedure based on an analysis of the problem structure. Some relevant design issues are first described, then a family of local search metaheuristics is defined to tackle the Haplotype Inference. Results on common Haplotype Inference benchmarks show that the approach achieves a good trade-off between solution quality and execution time. 相似文献

Motivated by models which have been proposed for some problemsin mathematical biology and fisheries management and elsewhere,we consider a nonlinear periodic parabolic problem and an associatedcost functional J. A key feature of our problem is the presenceof a nonlocal term whichas we show by direct examplerendersthe standard mono-tonicity methods invalid. We therefore employtopological methods to deal both with existence of solutionsand of minima of J over the Control set. Some considerationsare also presented on related systems and on the question ofuniqueness. 相似文献

The problem of covering a compact polygonal region, called target region, with a finite family of rectangles is considered.
Tools for mathematical modeling of the problem are provided. Especially, a function, called Γ-function, is introduced which
indicates whether the rectangles with respect to their configuration form a cover of the target region or not. The construction
of the Γ-function is similar to that of Φ-functions which have been proved to be an efficient tool for packing problems. A
mathematical model of the covering problem based on the Γ-function is proposed as well as a solution strategy. The approach
is illustrated by an example and some computational results are presented. 相似文献

An automatic assembly systema key tool for mass productionisgenerally composed of a number of workstations and a transportsystem. One common problem associated with automatic assemblysystems is that some assembly operations may have relativelylong cycle times. As a consequence, productivity, which is determinedby the operations with the longest cycle time, can be reducedsignificantly. Therefore a special form of parallel workstationknown as an in-line parallel (tandem-gated) station was developedto improve the performance of an automatic assembly system.In this design, stations working in parallel are installed ina serial structure and perform identical operations. Thus, morethan one assembly may be processed simultaneouslya typeof design especially beneficial when a stage requires a longoperation cycle time. A typical example is a computer assemblysystem which performs long inspection operations to ensure thatthe quality level of each product is up to the acceptance level. In this paper, we describe a simulation study of the performancecharacteristics of this type of system, with a statistical analysisof each decision factor. Phenomena affecting the performanceof in-line parallel stations, identified by the assistance ofthe computer graphical display, will then be discussed. An analyticalmodel based on these phenomena identified is then developed.The results generated by the analytical model developed arevalidated by comparisons with the simulation results. Finally,guidelines for optimization of buffer size are presented. 相似文献

An analysis of global error estimation for RungeKuttasolutions of ordinary differential equations is presented. Thebasic technique is that of Zadunaisky in which the global erroris computed from a numerical solution of a neighbouring problemrelated to the main problem by some method of interpolation.It is shown that RungeKutta formulae which permit validglobal error estimation using low-degree interpolation can bedeveloped, thus leading to more accurate and computationallyconvenient algorithms than was hitherto expected. Some specialRungeKutta processes up to order 4 are presented togetherwith numerical results. 相似文献

Integrated production–distribution planning is one of the most important issues in supply chain management (SCM). We consider
a supply chain (SC) network to consist of a manufacturer, with multiple plants, products, distribution centers (DCs), retailers
and customers. A multi-objective linear programming problem for integrating production–distribution, which considers various
simultaneously conflicting objectives, is developed. The decision maker’s imprecise aspiration levels of goals are incorporated
into the model using a fuzzy goal programming approach. Due to complexity of the considered problem we propose three meta-heuristics
to tackle the problem. A simple genetic algorithm and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a new fitness function,
and an improved hybrid genetic algorithm are developed. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed methods, two classes
of problems are considered and their instances are solved using all methods. The obtained results show that the improved hybrid
genetic algorithm gives us the best solutions in a reasonable computational time. 相似文献

We develop a numerical method of analyzing the dispersion of electroelastic waves in a hollow circular cylinder. The method
is based on the reduction of the wave problem to a spectral problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. This
system is solved numerically. The roots of the dispersion equation are determined by the method of bisection. The practical
convergence of the algorithm is shown using a specific example.

We study a vendor selection problem in which the buyer allocates an order quantity for an item among a set of suppliers such
that the required aggregate quality, service, and lead time requirements are achieved at minimum cost. Some or all of these
characteristics can be stochastic and hence, we treat the aggregate quality and service as uncertain. We develop a class of
special chance-constrained programming models and a genetic algorithm is designed for the vendor selection problem. The solution
procedure is tested on randomly generated problems and our computational experience is reported. The results demonstrate that
the suggested approach could provide managers a promising way for studying the stochastic vendor selection problem.

The complete topology design problem of survivable mesh-based transport networks is to address simultaneously design of network
topology, working path routing, and spare capacity allocation based on span-restoration. Each constituent problem in the complete
design problem could be formulated as an Integer Programming (IP) and is proved to be
NP\mathcal{NP}
-hard. Due to a large amount of decision variables and constraints involved in the IP formulation, to solve the problem directly
by exact algorithms (e.g. branch-and-bound) would be impractical if not impossible. In this paper, we present a two-level
evolutionary approach to address the complete topology design problem. In the low-level, two parameterized greedy heuristics
are developed to jointly construct feasible solutions (i.e., closed graph topologies satisfying all the mesh-based network
survivable constraints) of the complete problem. Unlike existing “zoom-in”-based heuristics in which subsets of the constraints
are considered, the proposed heuristics take all constraints into account. An estimation of distribution algorithm works on
the top of the heuristics to tune the control parameters. As a result, optimal solution to the considered problem is more
likely to be constructed from the heuristics with the optimal control parameters. The proposed algorithm is evaluated experimentally
in comparison with the latest heuristics based on the IP software CPLEX, and the “zoom-in”-based approach on 28 test networks
problems. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more effective in finding high-quality topologies
than the IP-based heuristic algorithm in 21 out of 28 test instances with much less computational costs, and performs significantly
better than the “zoom-in”-based approach in 19 instances with the same computational costs. 相似文献

Multi-item inventory models with two storage facility and bulk release pattern are developed with linearly time dependent
demand in a finite time horizon under crisp, stochastic and fuzzy-stochastic environments. Here different inventory parameters—holding
costs, ordering costs, purchase costs, etc.—are assumed as probabilistic or fuzzy in nature. In particular cases stochastic
and crisp models are derived. Models are formulated as profit maximization principle and three different approaches are proposed
for solution. In the first approach, fuzzy extension principle is used to find membership function of the objective function
and then it’s Graded Mean Integration Value (GMIV) for different optimistic levels are taken as equivalent stochastic objectives.
Then the stochastic model is transformed to a constraint multi-objective programming problem using Stochastic Non-linear Programming
(SNLP) technique. The multi-objective problems are transferred to single objective problems using Interactive Fuzzy Satisfising
(IFS) technique. Finally, a Region Reducing Genetic Algorithm (RRGA) based on entropy has been developed and implemented to
solve the single objective problems. In the second approach, the above GMIV (which is stochastic in nature) is optimized with
some degree of probability and using SNLP technique model is transferred to an equivalent single objective crisp problem and
solved using RRGA. In the third approach, objective function is optimized with some degree of possibility/necessity and following
this approach model is transformed to an equivalent constrained stochastic programming problem. Then it is transformed to
an equivalent single objective crisp problem using SNLP technique and solved via RRGA. The models are illustrated with some
numerical examples and some sensitivity analyses have been presented. 相似文献

The fully subjective, or fully Bayesian approach discussed in this paper provides straightforward means of presenting uncertainty related to future events to decision makers. This approach is described in the context of an inspection maintenance decision problem, and is contrasted with the classical probabilistic approach that assumes the existence of true probabilities and probability distributions which have to be estimated. Key features of the fully subjective approach are discussed, including integration of engineering judgements, uncertainty treatment and type of performance measures to be used. An example related to the problem of identifying “optimal” inspection intervals for an extrusion press is used to illustrate the principles described. 相似文献
