Algorithms for Finite and Semi-Infinite Min–Max–Min Problems Using Adaptive Smoothing Techniques

We develop two implementable algorithms, the first for the solution of finite and the second for the solution of semi-infinite min-max-min problems. A smoothing technique (together with discretization for the semi-infinite case) is used to construct a sequence of approximating finite min-max problems, which are solved with increasing precision. The smoothing and discretization approximations are initially coarse, but are made progressively finer as the number of iterations is increased. This reduces the potential ill-conditioning due to high smoothing precision parameter values and computational cost due to high levels of discretization. The behavior of the algorithms is illustrated with three semi-infinite numerical examples.     

A queueing system with linear repeated attempts,bernoulli schedule and feedback

We analyse a single-server retrial queueing system with infinite buffer, Poisson arrivals, general distribution of service time and linear retrial policy. If an arriving customer finds the server occupied, he joins with probabilityp a retrial group (called orbit) and with complementary probabilityq a priority queue in order to be served. After the customer is served completely, he will decide either to return to the priority queue for another service with probability ϑ or to leave the system forever with probability =1−ϑ, where 0≤ϑ<1. We study the ergodicity of the embedded Markov chain, its stationary distribution function and the joint generating function of the number of customers in both groups in the steady-state regime. Moreover, we obtain the generating function of system size distribution, which generalizes the well-knownPollaczek-Khinchin formula. Also we obtain a stochastic decomposition law for our queueing system and as an application we study the asymptotic behaviour under high rate of retrials. The results agree with known special cases. Finally, we give numerical examples to illustrate the effect of the parameters on several performance characteristics.

基于EKF的水下LD通信精对准控制算法

高速激光通信中接收机与光斑中心很难处于精对准状态,导致水下光通信链路难以稳定建立.首先采用蒙特卡洛仿真统计法分析激光光子在海水中传输的接收光强分布规律,再通过实验对接收端的光斑图像进行采样分析,利用曲线拟合得到接收器位置与接收光强的关系.仿真与实验结果表明:光束经过25 m的水下传输,接收光强分布仍近似为高斯分布.采用非线性估计算法(扩展卡尔曼滤波)与基本状态控制反馈理论,根据接收光强度估计接收器当前位置与最大光强处的距离,通过反馈算法实现接收端与光斑中心的主动跟踪对准.算法仿真结果显示,接收端对准误差在2 mm以下,稳定后接收效率超过98%.

Study on a broad-area laser diode with external cavity feedback

The external cavity feedback of a broad-area laser diode is investigated. In Fourier optic methods, the inserted prism in an external cavity can be interpreted as a spatial filter in the Fourier plane of the laser diode. The transverse mode can be selected by changing the position of the filter. As the result of a self-consistency theoretical analysis, the output beam of the external cavity has a single-lobed far-field profile. It agrees well with the experiment result. The beam times-diffraction-limit-factor M² is measured to be 1.16.     

The design and artificial realization of a controller of pulse coupling feedback

In this paper a controller of pulse coupling feedback (PCF) is designed to control chaotic systems. Control principles and the technique to select the feedback coefficients are introduced. This controller is theoretically studied with a three dimensional (3D) chaotic system. The artificial simulation results show that the chaotic system can be stabilized to different periodic orbits by using the PCF method, and the number of the periodic orbits are 2ⁿ× 3^mp (n and m are integers). Therefore, this control method is effective and practical.     

Feedback control of quantum system

Feedback is a significant strategy for the control of quantum system. Information acquisition is the greatest difficulty in quantum feedback applications. After discussing several basic methods for information acquisition, we review three kinds of quantum feedback control strategies: quantum feedback control with measurement, coherent quantum feedback, and quantum feedback control based on cloning and recognition. The first feedback strategy can effectively acquire information, but it destroys the coherence in feedback loop. On the contrary, coherent quantum feedback does not destroy the coherence, but the capability of information acquisition is limited. However, the third feedback scheme gives a compromise between information acquisition and measurement disturbance.     

The role of duct thickness on the quenching process of premixed flame propagation

The propagation of premixed laminar flame in ducts of circular cross-section considering a thermal-diffusive model is investigated numerically. Heat losses by conduction to the channels walls are taken into account using the thermally thin wall regime. The effects and the relationship between thickness and diameter of the tube with the flame speed propagation are studied and the quenching condition is obtained as a function of the heat-loss parameter. The mathematical model employs the axisymmetric energy and species equations. The calculations are based on a two-step chemistry, with an Arrhenius, energetically neutral, radical production reaction followed by an exothermic radical recombination reaction. For large values of the heat-loss parameter, the wall temperature is close to the free stream temperature and all the heat losses through the wall are convected away. No heat feedback occurs. On the other hand, for small values of the heat-loss parameter, a feedback mechanism occurs by transferring heat from the burned gas to the fresh mixture along the tube wall. For values of the heat-loss parameter of order unity, the heat feedback mechanism is able to sustain the flame propagation and the quenching condition disappears, producing an almost planar flame front as the propagation velocity reduces. For this two-step reaction mechanism, the radical species behaviour at the duct walls seems to have negligible effect on the quenching process.
