On k‐connectivity for a geometric random graph

For n points uniformly randomly distributed on the unit cube in d dimensions, with d≥2, let ρ_n (respectively, σ_n) denote the minimum r at which the graph, obtained by adding an edge between each pair of points distant at most r apart, is k‐connected (respectively, has minimum degree k). Then P[ρ_n=σ_n]→1 as n→∞. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 15, 145–164, 1999

On some applications of a discrete-time model of failure and repair

Research on a discrete-time model of failure and repair studied by Rocha-Martinez and Shaked (1995) is continued in this paper. Among various related results, we prove that if for one point x∈]0,1[ the probability generating function of a non-negative integer valued random variable S satisfies Φ_S(x)⩽x^m for some integer m⩾0, then E(S)⩾m. We use these results to show that for any M (the ‘input’ lifetime of a unit in the model) the R_m's (the allowed number of repairs on the unit at time m, m⩾0) can be chosen such that M_u (the ‘output’ lifetime of the unit through the model) is in hazard rate ordering (therefore in stochastic ordering) arbitrarily large and such that E(R_m) is a minimum in some sense. As a first application, we see how a low-quality item (car, computer, washing machine, etc.) might fulfil strict durability regulations under an appropriate imperfect repair strategy (and be able to compete against the existing leading brand in the market) in such a way that the mean number of repairs be a minimum in some sense. As a second application we show how it can be easily proven that if M is of class: NBU, NWE, DMRL, IMRL, NBUE or NWUE, then M_u is not necessarily of the same class. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Inference and prediction in bulk arrival queues and queues with service in stages

This paper deals with the statistical analysis from a Bayesian point of view, of bulk arrival queues where the batch size is considered as a fixed constant. The focus is on prediction of the usual measures of performance of the system in the steady state. The probability generating function of the posterior predictive distribution of the number of customers in the system and the Laplace transform of the posterior predictive distribution of the waiting time in the system are obtained. Numerical inversion of these transforms is considered. Inference and prediction of its equivalent single queue with service in stages is also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

随机激励下考虑SSI效应的TMD-结构控制参数优化设计

TMD是高层建筑结构抗震和抗风等减震控制的主要方法,结构体系频率和TMD参数的适配性对控制效果起决定性作用。现有规范中忽略土对上部结的构的影响,使得TMD-结构振动控制与实际工程情况存在脱节。本文以结构的最大层间位移为控制指标,将优化算法与概率密度理论方法结合,以十层混凝土框架TMD-结构参数优化为例,研究了SSI对TMD结构控制效果的影响,并实现了随机激励下TMD建筑结构参数的优化设计。为TMD建筑结构最优化设计提供了新的思路和方法。     

Application of shooting methods for two-point boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations with parameters in hydrodynamics

In this paper. first we introduce the shooting method (including the method of adjoints and the method of quasilinearization) for two-point boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations with parameters, and give out an example of solving hydrodynamic lubrication equation by using the shooting method. The calculated results are satisfactory.     

Characterisation of Grinding‐Relevant Particle Properties by Inverting a Population Balance Model

An approach for the quantitative characterisation of feed materials in impact grinding is presented. With the help of dimensional reasoning and a fracture mechanic model two material parameters can be derived which describe the breakage probability quantitatively. The influence of stress intensity (impact energy), stress number, initial particle size and material are separated clearly. The two derived material parameters can be determined by single particle impact experiments with narrow size fractions of the feed material. A single mastercurve for the selection function of five different polymers, limestone and glass describes the breakage behaviour for two decades of initial particle size. The procedure using narrow feed size fractions can be simplified by using feed material with a broad particle size distribution. Then the appropriate population balance has to be inverted in order to determine the particle properties. Both, the population balance and the inversion are presented and validated with experimental results.     

Classical Description of Intense Field Stabilization Dynamics of 1D Model Atom

Abstract In this paper classical nonlinear dynamics approaches are used to study the intense field stabilization (IFS) for ID model atom according to differential equation (DE) and map approximation (MA). The exact stability boundary and region of I-period fixed points in the parameter space of field strength and frequency are obtained, and the results of MA are in excellent agreement with those of DE. The electrons dynamical behavior in phase space is investigated and the IFS mainly occurring in high frequency regime is confirmed. The stabilization phenomenon connected with the stable fixed points is also examined. In particular it is shown that this phenomenon depends on tightly the KAM tori. It can be predicted that the stabilization probability is just the fraction of initial electrons confined by the KAM tori.     

Probability and Joint Probability Distributions for Systems Driven by Correlated Colored Noises

This paper deals with systems driven by correlated colored noises. The evolution equations for both the single and joint probability distribution functions are derived. It is shown that both the stationary and dynamical properties of the systems are affected by correlated colored noises. These results are obtained by means of the systematic use of the ordered cumulant-expansion technique.
