含有偏好的DEA-BWM评价方法研究

针对传统的DEA模型在评估过程中并未考虑决策者对相关指标权重的偏好,将最优最差方法(BWM)嵌入到传统DEA模型中,基于决策者偏好排序的判断矩阵,构建一种含有偏好的DEA-BWM评价方法。首先在保持传统DEA方法的优势基础上,构建了CCR-BWM评价模型对各DMU进行评价。同时考虑为了便于各决策单元在统一权重基础上相互比较,构建了CSW-BWM公共权重模型。另外考虑决策单元自评和互评,构建了NCE-BWM中立型交叉效率。然后采用min-max方法分别将上述三种多目标评价模型转换为单目标线性规划进行求解。最后,选择一组算例对三种模型的有效性与合理性进行验证。     

The asymptotic behavior of queueing systems: Large deviations theory and dominant pole approximation

This paper presents the exact asymptotics of the steady state behavior of a broad class of single-node queueing systems. First we show that the asymptotic probability functions derived using large deviations theory are consistent (in a certain sense) with the result using dominant pole approximations. Then we present an exact asymptotic formula for the cumulative probability function of the queue occupancy and relate it to the cell loss ratio, an important performance measure for service systems such as ATM networks. The analysis relies on a new generalization of the Taylor coefficients of a complex function which we call characteristic coefficients. Finally we apply our framework to obtain new results for the M/D/1 system and for a more intricate multiclass M/D/n system.     

A -functional and the rate of convergence of some linear polynomial operators

We show that the -functional

where , is equivalent to the rate of convergence of a certain linear polynomial operator. This operator stems from a Riesz-type summability process of expansion by Legendre polynomials. We use the operator above to obtain a linear polynomial approximation operator with a rate comparable to that of the best polynomial approximation.

     

Glass capillary gas chromatography of amino acid enantiomers

Glass capillaries coated with Chirasil-Val, a chirally functionalised polysiloxane, are capable in principle of resolving all protein amino-acid enantiomers in a single run and within a short analysis time, thus allowing for example the quantitative amino acid determination by enantiomer labelling. The elution characteristics of the individual amino acids however are also dependent upon the chemical nature of the capillary wall surface, and a surface pretreatment is found to be necessary if all protein amino acids are to be analysed. Of the various methods of pretreatment tested, etching of borosilicate glass with gaseous HCl followed by deposition of colloidal silicic acid is considered to be the most suitable.     

Generalizations of Slater's constraint qualification for infinite convex programs

In this paper we study constraint qualifications and duality results for infinite convex programs (P) = inf{f(x): g(x) – S, x C}, whereg = (g ₁,g ₂) andS = S ₁ ×S ₂,S _i are convex cones,i = 1, 2,C is a convex subset of a vector spaceX, andf andg _i are, respectively, convex andS _i -convex,i = 1, 2. In particular, we consider the special case whenS ₂ is in afinite dimensional space,g ₂ is affine andS ₂ is polyhedral. We show that a recently introduced simple constraint qualification, and the so-called quasi relative interior constraint qualification both extend to (P), from the special case thatg = g ₂ is affine andS = S ₂ is polyhedral in a finite dimensional space (the so-called partially finite program). This provides generalized Slater type conditions for (P) which are much weaker than the standard Slater condition. We exhibit the relationship between these two constraint qualifications and show how to replace the affine assumption ong ₂ and the finite dimensionality assumption onS ₂, by a local compactness assumption. We then introduce the notion of strong quasi relative interior to get parallel results for more general infinite dimensional programs without the local compactness assumption. Our basic tool reduces to guaranteeing the closure of the sum of two closed convex cones.     

水面舰艇编队的最佳防空队形探讨

最佳防御队形以编队对来袭导弹的可探测面积尽可能大为前提,并以"抗饱和攻击能力"为衡量标准.各方向的可拦截批次受两方面因素限制:一是来袭导弹被发现时其与指挥舰的距离,一般距离越大,防御准备就越充分,可拦截批次就越大;二是护卫舰到来袭导弹轨迹的距离,一般距离越小,单次拦截时间就越短,可拦截批次就越大.定义以概率1可拦截批次最小的方向为最危险方向,经计算初始队形各方向可拦截的批次不等,通过"削峰补谷"的方式予以均衡和优化.若以拦截批次的期望为标准,最危险方向与以概率1可拦截的批次为标准的结果相同.如果得到空中预警机的信息支援,在最危险方向上编队就可更早地对距离指挥舰148.4km远的导弹发起拦截,增大编队的抗饱和攻击能力,但由于防空导弹射程限制,预警机提供的信,息支援无法得到充分利用,此时限制编队抗饱和攻击能力的主要矛盾转向防空导弹的射程.     

On the numerical feasibility of continuation methods for nonlinear programming problems

In the present paper the radius of convergence of a class of locally convergent nonlinear programming algorithms (containing Robinson's and Wilson's methods) applied to a parametric nonlinear programming problem is estimated. A consequence is the numerical feasibility of globalizations of Robinson's and Wilson's methods by means of continuation techniques.     

Efficient computation of operator‐type response sensitivities for uncertainty quantification and predictive modeling: illustrative application to a spent nuclear fuel dissolver model

This work honors the 75th birthday of Professor Ionel Michael Navon by presenting original results highlighting the computational efficiency of the adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology for function‐valued operator responses by means of an illustrative paradigm dissolver model. The dissolver model analyzed in this work has been selected because of its applicability to material separations and its potential role in diversion activities associated with proliferation and international safeguards. This dissolver model comprises eight active compartments in which the 16 time‐dependent nonlinear differential equations modeling the physical and chemical processes comprise 619 scalar and time‐dependent model parameters, related to the model's equation of state and inflow conditions. The most important response for the dissolver model is the time‐dependent nitric acid in the compartment furthest away from the inlet, where measurements are available at 307 time instances over the transient's duration of 10.5 h. The sensitivities to all model parameters of the acid concentrations at each of these instances in time are computed efficiently by applying the adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology for operator‐valued responses. The uncertainties in the model parameters are propagated using the above‐mentioned sensitivities to compute the uncertainties in the computed responses. A predictive modeling formalism is subsequently used to combine the computational results with the experimental information measured in the compartment furthest from the inlet and then predict optimal values and uncertainties throughout the dissolver. This predictive modeling methodology uses the maximum entropy principle to construct an optimal approximation of the unknown a priori distribution for the a priori known mean values and uncertainties characterizing the model parameters and the computed and experimentally measured model responses. This approximate a priori distribution is subsequently combined using Bayes' theorem with the “likelihood” provided by the multi‐physics computational models. Finally, the posterior distribution is evaluated using the saddle‐point method to obtain analytical expressions for the optimally predicted values for the parameters and responses of both multi‐physics models, along with corresponding reduced uncertainties. This work shows that even though the experimental data pertains solely to the compartment furthest from the inlet (where the data were measured), the predictive modeling procedure used herein actually improves the predictions and reduces the predicted uncertainties for the entire dissolver, including the compartment furthest from the measurements, because this predictive modeling methodology combines and transmits information simultaneously over the entire phase‐space, comprising all time steps and spatial locations.
