Some results on underground structures obtained by Kazakh mechanicians are reviewed. The review covers a period of the last forty years. Also results on the mechanics of special objects are discussed.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 3–36, October 2004.     

带惩罚项与随机输入的BP神经网络在线梯度学习算法的收敛性

本文对三层BP神经网络中带有惩罚项的在线梯度学习算法的收敛性问题进行了研究,在网络训练每一轮开始执行之前,对训练样本随机进行重排,以使网络学习更容易跳出局部极小,文中给出了误差函数的单调性定理以及该算法的弱收敛和强收敛性定理。     

具有控制系数的高阶线性微分方程复振荡的一个结果

该文考虑具有控制系数 A\-0 和系数仅有有限个极点的高阶线性齐次微分方程（1.1）。得到了一个复振荡结果，该结果是J. K. Langley［11］等作者在整系数下相应结果的推广。     

ON THE RATE OF WEIGHTED Lp CONVERGENCE BY THE GRUENWALD INTERPOLATORY OPERATORS

This paper gives the weighted Lp convergence rate estimations of the Gruenwald interpolatory polynomials based on the zeros of Chebyshev polymomials of the first kind,and proves that the order of the estimations is optimal for p≥1.     

Probability Inequalities and Limit Theorems for Generalized L-Statistics

We obtain exponential upper bounds for tails of distributions of generalized L-statistics based on a sample from an exponential distribution. We prove the asymptotic normality of generalized L-statistics based on a sample from the uniform distribution on [0,1] and of L-statistics with decomposed kernels (without any restrictions on the sample distribution type).     

Fractional Brownian Heavy Traffic Approximations of Multiclass Feedforward Queueing Networks

We consider multiclass feedforward queueing networks under first in first out and priority service disciplines driven by long-range dependent arrival and service time processes. We show that in critical loading the normalized workload, queue length and sojourn time processes can converge to a multi-dimensional reflected fractional Brownian motion. This weak heavy traffic approximation is deduced from a deterministic pathwise approximation of the network behavior close to constant critical load in terms of the solution of a Skorokhod problem. Since we model the doubly infinite time interval, our results directly cover the stationary case.AMS subject classification: primary 90B15, secondary 60K25, 68M20     

NCD系统的数学理论

无索赔折扣系统(No Claim Discount system,简记为NCD系统)是世界各国机动车辆险中广泛采用的一种经验费率厘定机制.本文尝试建立了NCD系统严谨的数学理论, 重点讨论了NCD系统的数学建模和稳态分析.此外,作为本文必要的数学前提,首先在第2节着重探讨了随机矩阵间的随机优序关系,并将所得结论运用至齐次不可约且遍历的马尔科夫链的研究中,这些内容也有其独立的数学上的兴趣.     

线性均衡约束最优化的一个广义投影强次可行方向法

本文讨论带线性均衡约束最优化问题,首先利用摄动技术和一个互补函数将问题等价转化为一般约束最优化问题,然后结合广义投影技术和强次可行方向法思想,建立了问题的一个新算法.算法在迭代过程中保证搜索方向不为零,从而使得每次迭代只需计算一次广义投影.在适当的条件下,证明了算法的全局收敛性,并对算法进行了初步的数值试验.     

OSCILLATION RESULTS FOR A SECOND ORDER NEUTRAL DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Some new oscillation criteria are established for a second order neutral delay differential equations. These results improve oscillation results of Y.V. Rogo-vchenko for the retarded delay differential equations. The relevance of our theorems is illustrated with two carefully selected examples.     

Multiple Window and Cluster Size Scan Procedures

Researchers apply scan statistics to test for unusually large clusters of events within a time window of specified length w, or alternatively an unusually small window w that contains a specified number of events. In some cases, the researcher is interested in testing for a range of specified window lengths, or a set of several specified number of events k (cluster sizes). In this paper, we derive accurate approximations for the joint distributions of scan statistics for a range of values of w, or of k, that can be used to set an experiment-wide level of significance that takes into account the multiple comparisons involved. We use these methods to compare different ways of choosing the window sizes for the different cluster sizes. One special case is a multiple comparison procedure based on a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) for a range of window sizes. We compare the power of the GLRT with another method for allocating the window sizes. We find that the GLRT is sensitive for very small window sizes at the expense of moderate and larger window sizes. We illustrate these results on two examples, one involving clustering of translocation breakpoints in DNA, and the other involving disease clusters.
