Generalized expression of exergy in the thermodynamics

Exergy is the ability of the maximum work done to the objective (relative) outside when the system changes from any state to its dead state. Exergy stems from the gaps of intensive properties between its present state and its dead state. Generalized differential expression of exergy is advanced without any premise conditions, which is composed of generalized intensive and extensive (additive) properties. Any form of exergy can be deduced out from this generalized expression, only if its characteristic intensive and extensive parameters are known. That the exergy of any closed system is never below zero has been proved.     

The effect of transformations on the approximation of univariate (convex) functions with applications to Pareto curves

In the literature, methods for the construction of piecewise linear upper and lower bounds for the approximation of univariate convex functions have been proposed. We study the effect of the use of transformations on the approximation of univariate (convex) functions. In this paper, we show that these transformations can be used to construct upper and lower bounds for nonconvex functions. Moreover, we show that by using such transformations of the input variable or the output variable, we obtain tighter upper and lower bounds for the approximation of convex functions than without these approximations. We show that these transformations can be applied to the approximation of a (convex) Pareto curve that is associated with a (convex) bi-objective optimization problem.     

Hölder continuity and upper estimates of solutions to vector quasiequilibrium problems

In this paper, we establish the Hölder continuity of solution mappings to parametric vector quasiequilibrium problems in metric spaces under the case that solution mappings are set-valued. Our main assumptions are weaker than those in the literature, and the results extend and improve the recent ones. Furthermore, as an application of Hölder continuity, we derive upper bounds for the distance between an approximate solution and a solution set of a vector quasiequilibrium problem with fixed parameters.     

Resource allocation in dynamic PERT networks with finite capacity

This article models the resource allocation problem in dynamic PERT networks with finite capacity of concurrent projects (COnstant Number of Projects In Process (CONPIP)), where activity durations are independent random variables with exponential distributions, and the new projects are generated according to a Poisson process. The system is represented as a queuing network with finite concurrent projects, where each activity of a project is performed at a devoted service station with one server located in a node of the network. For modeling dynamic PERT networks with CONPIP, we first convert the network of queues into a stochastic network. Then, by constructing a proper finite-state continuous-time Markov model, a system of differential equations is created to solve and find the completion time distribution for any particular project. Finally, we propose a multi-objective model with three conflict objectives to optimally control the resources allocated to the servers, and apply the goal attainment method to solve a discrete-time approximation of the original multi-objective problem.     

决策者具有(严格)凸性偏好结构下的一类交互式多目标决策方法

为了更好地解决决策者具有(严格)凸性偏好结构下的多目标决策问题,一般目标空间为有界凸域的情形常常可以转化为目标空间为有界闭凸区域的情形,首先分析了切割平面及该平面上偏好最优点与被切割平面分割成的为有界闭凸区域的目标空间或目标空间的子集的两个部分之间的关系;然后分析并指出了对于包含全局偏好最优目标方案点的为有界闭凸域的目标空间及其子集(准最优目标集),在确定了切割平面上的偏好最优点后,通过适当地选取供决策者与切割平面的偏好最优点进行比较判断的目标方案点,经过一次比较就可以确定一个新的范围更小的包含全局偏好最优目标方案点的目标空间的有界闭凸子区域(准最优目标集).为获取切割平面上的偏好最优点,提出了改进的坐标轮换法.在这些结论和方法的基础上,提出了决策者具有(严格)凸性偏好结构下的一类交互式多目标决策方法,要求决策者提供较易的偏好性息,决策效能较好.

Saddle Points and Pareto Points in Multiple Objective Programming

In this paper relationships between Pareto points and saddle points are studied in convex and nonconvex multiple objective programming. The analysis is based on partitioning the index sets of objectives and constraints and splitting the original problem into subproblems having a special structure. The results are based on scalarizations of multiple objective programs and related linear and augmented Lagrangian functions. In the nonconvex case, a saddle point characterization of Pareto points is possible under assumptions that guarantee existence of Pareto points and stability conditions of single objective problems. Essentially, these conditions are not stronger than those in analogous results for single objective programming.This research was partially supported by ONR Grant N00014-97-1-784AMS Subject Classification: 90C29, 90C26
