Computer-aided spillway design using the boundary element method and non-linear programming

The general context of this paper is to support the design of spillways by a direct mathematical approach instead of trial-and-error methods. First, a two-dimensional model is formulated to determine the free surface and the discharge for a stationary, incompressible, homogeneous, non-viscous and irrotational flow over a fixed spillway. The flow satisfies the Laplace equation and the Bernoulli equation (potential flow). An important feature of the model is that it can be extended to design the spillway structure when the spillway is not fixed but the pressure on the spillway is described by a cavitation criterion. Next, the continuous model is discretized by the boundary element method (BEM). We use a non-linear programming algorithm to calculate the pressures and the shape of the spillway. A computer-aided design package is developed on a PC using the equations describing the free surface, the BEM and standard optimization techniques. The input and output of the model are realized using graphical routines. Finally, we discuss the convergence and the computation time of the algorithms.     

Optimization of the Production Medium for Biosynthesis of Antifungal Antibiotic Ak-111-81 by Phosphate-Deregulated Mutant of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces hygroscopicus</Emphasis>

Experimental mathematical designs were applied for optimization of a nutrient medium for biosynthesis of the antifungal antibiotic AK-111-81 by phosphate-deregulated mutant of Streptomyces hygroscopicus 111-81. Antifungal antibiotic AK-111-81 possesses well-expressed activity against Fusarium graminearum and other phytopathogenic fungi. The level of the production of the antibiotic AK-111-81 on this medium is more than three times higher than on the initial medium. The optimized quantitative composition of the nutrient culture media is (g/l): glucose, 20; soy meal, 18; ammonium succinate, 3; CaCO₃, 1.     

Exploiting relaxation in local search for LABS

Branch-and-bound uses relaxation to prune search trees but sometimes scales poorly to large problems. Conversely, local search often scales well but may be unable to find optimal solutions. Both phenomena occur in the construction of low-autocorrelation binary sequences (LABS), a problem arising in communication engineering. This paper proposes a hybrid approach to optimization: using relaxation to prune local search spaces. An implementation gives very competitive results, showing the feasibility of the approach.     

On a proper way to select population failure distribution and a stochastic optimization method in parameter estimation

It is widely accepted that the Weibull distribution plays an important role in reliability applications. The reliability of a product or a system is the probability that the product or the system will still function for a specified time period when operating under some confined conditions. Parameter estimation for the three parameter Weibull distribution has been studied by many researchers in the past. Maximum likelihood has traditionally been the main method of estimation for Weibull parameters along with other recently proposed hybrids of optimization methods. In this paper, we use a stochastic optimization method called the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to carry out the estimation. The method is extremely flexible and inference for any quantity of interest is easily obtained.     

可迁图的超常边连通度的最优性

图的超常边连通度是图的边连通度概念的推广,对于n阶点可迁或正则边可迁的简单连通图来说,它的h阶超常边连通度λ_h一定存在(1≤h≤n/2)。本文证明了:当d_-正则的n_-阶点可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥5时,或d_-正则的n_-阶边可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥4时,对于任何的h:1≤h≤min{g-1,n/2},λ_h达到其最大可能值,即λ_h=hd-2(h-1)。     

Optimization of separations of alkyl-substituted phenolate anions by capillary zone electrophoresis

Anions of alkylphenols have very similar electrophoretic mobilities in CZE owing to their very small differences in size and the narrow range of their pK_a values. By studying electrophoretic mobility as a function both of pH and of the amount of acetonitrile in the electrolyte solution, optimum separation conditions were determined. It was possible to separate a group of methyl-substituted phenols, including several positional isomers. Mixtures containing n-propyl and isopropyl phenols and 1°, 2°, and 3° butylphenols could be resolved.     

Model and extended Kuhn–Tucker approach for bilevel multi-follower decision making in a referential-uncooperative situation

When multiple followers are involved in a bilevel decision problem, the leader’s decision will be affected, not only by the reactions of these followers, but also by the relationships among these followers. One of the popular situations within this bilevel multi-follower issue is where these followers are uncooperatively making their decisions while having cross reference to decision information of the other followers. This situation is called a referential-uncooperative situation in this paper. The well-known Kuhn–Tucker approach has been previously successfully applied to a one-leader-and-one-follower linear bilevel decision problem. This paper extends this approach to deal with the above-mentioned linear referential-uncooperative bilevel multi-follower decision problem. The paper first presents a decision model for this problem. It then proposes an extended Kuhn–Tucker approach to solve this problem. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the application of the extended Kuhn–Tucker approach.
