Ambiguous Discrimination of General Quantum Operations

We consider the problem of discriminating general quantum operations. Using the definition of mapping operator to vector, and by some calculating skills, we derive an explicit formulation as a new bound on the minimum-error probability for ambiguous discrimination between arbitrary m quantum operations. This formulation consists only of Kraus-operators, the dimension, and the priori probabilities of the discriminated quantum operations, and is independent of input states. To some extent, we further generalize the bounds on the minimum-error probability for discriminating mixed states to quantum operations.

Approximate dynamic programming for capacity allocation in the service industry

We consider a problem where different classes of customers can book different types of service in advance and the service company has to respond immediately to the booking request confirming or rejecting it. The objective of the service company is to maximize profit made of class-type specific revenues, refunds for cancellations or no-shows as well as cost of overtime. For the calculation of the latter, information on the underlying appointment schedule is required. In contrast to most models in the literature we assume that the service time of clients is stochastic and that clients might be unpunctual. Throughout the paper we will relate the problem to capacity allocation in radiology services. The problem is modeled as a continuous-time Markov decision process and solved using simulation-based approximate dynamic programming (ADP) combined with a discrete event simulation of the service period. We employ an adapted heuristic ADP algorithm from the literature and investigate on the benefits of applying ADP to this type of problem. First, we study a simplified problem with deterministic service times and punctual arrival of clients and compare the solution from the ADP algorithm to the optimal solution. We find that the heuristic ADP algorithm performs very well in terms of objective function value, solution time, and memory requirements. Second, we study the problem with stochastic service times and unpunctuality. It is then shown that the resulting policy constitutes a large improvement over an “optimal” policy that is deduced using restrictive, simplifying assumptions.

“运价”为负的运输模型计算机求解问题的处理

为解决一些计算机软件求解"运价"既有正值又有负值运输模型时"不可求解"的问题,本文采用"运价同额增减法"决策模型转换的方法,将原模型的"运价"全部转换为正值后再用计算机软件求解,并分别编写了EXCEL求解模板和求解程序对该方法的计算加以印证。结果表明,采用该方法求解得出的最优解(最优决策方案)与原模型求得的最优解完全一样,而最优值(最优决策效果)减去虚增(或加上虚减)的部分就是原模型的最优值。采用这种方法能成功地解决一些计算机软件"不可求解"的问题。     

A damage accumulation model for complex strain paths: Prediction of ductile failure in metals

The characterisation of strain path with respect to the directionality of defect formation is discussed. The criterion of non-monotonic strain path is used in the scalar and tensor models for damage accumulation and recovery. Comparable analysis of models and their verification has been obtained by simulation of crack initiation in a two-stage metal forming operation consisting of wire drawing followed by constrained upsetting.     

Deterministic Quantum Secure Direct Communication with Dense Coding and Continuous Variable Operations

We propose a deterministic quantum secure direct two check photon sequences are used to check the securities of the communication protocol by using dense coding. The channels between the message sender and the receiver. The continuous variable operations instead of the usual discrete unitary operations are performed on the travel photons so that the security of the present protocol can be enhanced. Therefore some specific attacks such as denial-of-service attack, intercept-measure-resend attack and invisible photon attack can be prevented in ideal quantum channel. In addition, the scheme is still secure in noise channel. Furthurmore, this protocol has the advantage of high capacity and can be realized in the experiment.     

Long-term optimal operation of series parallel reservoirs for critical period with specified monthly generation and average monthly storage

We present in this paper an efficient approach for solving the problem of planning the long-term (multiyear) operation of a multireservoir hydroelectric power system for the critical period with a monthly variable load. This load is equal to a certain percentage of the total generation at the end of the year, subject to satisfying a number of constraints on the hydrosystem, using the minimum norm formulation.The proposed method is efficient in computing time and in calculating the total expected benefits from the system during the critical period. Numerical results are reported for a real system in operation consisting of two rivers. Each river has two series reservoirs.This work was supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Grant No. A4146.
