A slacks-based measure of efficiency in data envelopment analysis

In this paper, we will propose a slacks-based measure (SBM) of efficiency in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This scalar measure deals directly with the input excesses and the output shortfalls of the decision making unit (DMU) concerned. It is units invariant and monotone decreasing with respect to input excess and output shortfall. Furthermore, this measure is determined only by consulting the reference-set of the DMU and is not affected by statistics over the whole data set. The new measure has a close connection with other measures proposed so far, e.g., Charnes–Cooper–Rhodes (CCR), Banker–Charnes–Cooper (BCC) and the Russell measure of efficiency. The dual side of this model can be interpreted as profit maximization, in contrast to the ratio maximization of the CCR model. Numerical experiments show its validity as an efficiency measurement tool and its compatibility with other measures of efficiency.     

On the invariant translation approximation property for discrete groups

Recently J.Roe considered the question of whether for a discrete group the reduced group -algebra is the fixed point algebra of Ad acting on the uniform Roe algebra . is said to have the invariant translation approximation property in this case. We consider a slight generalization of this property which, for exact , is equivalent to the operator space approximation property of . We also give a new characterization of exactness and a short proof of the equivalence of exactness of and exactness of for discrete groups.

     

逆极限的不变测度和一致正熵性质

In this paper, the interconnection of some ergodic properties between a continuous selfmap and its inverse limit is studied. It has been proved that (1) their invariant Borel probability measures are identical up to homeomorphism and (2) they preserve uniform positive entropy property simuitaneously. As applications, it is also proved that the upper semi-continu-ous properties of their entropy maps are restricted each other, and the entropy map of the asymptotically h-expansive continuous map is upper semi-contlnuous, at the same time a continuous map having u, p.e. is topological weakmixing.     

Nodal Solutions of a p-Laplacian Equation

We prove that the p-Laplacian problem –_p u = f(x, u),with u on a bounded domain R^N, with p > 1 arbitrary, has a nodal solution providedthat f : x R R is subcritical, and f(x, t) / |t|^p –² is superlinear. Infinitely many nodal solutions are obtainedif, in addition, f(x, –t) = –f(x, t). 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 35J20, 35J65, 58E05.

Derivation of baroclinic Ertel–Rossby invariant-based thermally-coupled vorticity equation in moist flow

For the potential vorticity （PV） invariant, there is a PV-based complete-form vorticity equation, which we use heuris- tically in the present paper to answer the following question： for the Ertel-Rossby invariant （ERI）, is there a corresponding vorticity tendency equation？ Such an ERI-based thermally-coupled vorticity equation is derived and discussed in detail in this study. From the obtained new vorticity equation, the vertical vorticity change is constrained by the vertical velocity term, the term associated with the slope of the generalized momentum surface, the term related to the horizontal vorticity change, and the baroclinic or solenoid term. It explicitly includes both the dynamical and thermodynamic factors＇ influence on the vorticity change. For the ERI itself, besides the traditional PV term, the ERI also includes the moisture factor, which is excluded in dry ERI, and the term related to the gradients of pressure, kinetic energy, and potential energy that reflects the fast-manifold property. Therefore, it is more complete to describe the fast motions off the slow manifold for severe weather than the PV term. These advantages are naturally handed on and inherited by the ERI-based thermally-coupled vorticity equation. Then the ERI-based thermally-coupled vorticity equation is further transformed and compared with the traditional vorticity equation. The main difference between the two equations is the term which describes the contribution of the solenoid term to the vertical vorticity development. In a barotropic flow, the solenoid term disappears, then the ERI-based thermally-coupled vorticity equation can regress to the traditional vorticity equation.
