Characteristic polynomial theory of two-stage phase shifting algorithms

Two-stage phase shifting algorithms make possible to directly recover the sum or the difference of the optical phase of two different fringe patterns. These algorithms can be built by combining the known phase shifting algorithms in a non-linear way. In this work, we associate a two-dimensional characteristic polynomial to each two-stage phase shifting algorithm. This enables us to qualitatively compare their behaviour against the main systematic error sources, by means of an analysis protocol like that used for phase shifting algorithms. We show that this tool allows to understand the propagation of properties from precursor phase shifting algorithms to new evaluation algorithms built from them. As an experimental application, a wavefront distortion evaluation in differential phase-shifting interferometry is presented.     

An optimal service rate in a Poisson arrival queue with two-stage service policy*

We consider a two-stage service policy for a Poisson arrival queueing system. The idle server starts to work with ordinary service rate when a customer arrives. If the number of customers in the system reaches N, the service rate gets faster and continues until the system becomes empty. Otherwise, the server finishes the busy period with ordinary service rate. After assigning various operating costs to the system, we show that there exists a unique fast service rate minimizing the long-run average cost per unit time.This work was supported by Korea Research Foundation Grant(KRF-2002-070-C00021).     

Fabrication and optical properties of 3D composite photonic crystals of core-shell structures

Three-dimensional (3D) composite colloidal photonic crystals with SiO₂ core and ZnO shell were fabricated on borosilicate glass (BSG) substrate by a two-stage deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements show that both the pre-deposited SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZnO core-shell structures are oriented with their (1 1 1) axes parallel to the substrates. Optical measurement reveals that the periodic arrays exhibit a photonic band gap in the (1 1 1) direction. The optical properties of SiO₂/ZnO core-shell structures strongly depend on the size dispersions of colloidal spheres and the intrinsic defects in the sample.     

A general model of parameterized OWA aggregation with given orness level

The paper proposes a general optimization model with separable strictly convex objective function to obtain the consistent OWA (ordered weighted averaging) operator family. The consistency means that the aggregation value of the operator monotonically changes with the given orness level. Some properties of the problem are discussed with its analytical solution. The model includes the two most commonly used maximum entropy OWA operator and minimum variance OWA operator determination methods as its special cases. The solution equivalence to the general minimax problem is proved. Then, with the conclusion that the RIM (regular increasing monotone quantifier) can be seen as the continuous case of OWA operator with infinite dimension, the paper further proposes a general RIM quantifier determination model, and analytically solves it with the optimal control technique. Some properties of the optimal solution and the solution equivalence to the minimax problem for RIM quantifier are also proved. Comparing with that of the OWA operator problem, the RIM quantifier solutions are usually more simple, intuitive, dimension free and can be connected to the linguistic terms in natural language. With the solutions of these general problems, we not only can use the OWA operator or RIM quantifier to obtain aggregation value that monotonically changes with the orness level for any aggregated set, but also can obtain the parameterized OWA or RIM quantifier families in some specific function forms, which can incorporate the background knowledge or the required characteristic of the aggregation problems.     

Optimal control of heterogeneous systems: Basic theory

A general model of a heterogeneous control system is introduced in the form of a first order distributed system with nonlocal dynamics and exogenous side-conditions. The heterogeneity is represented by a parameter taking values in an abstract measurable space, so that both continuous and discrete heterogeneity, as well as probabilistic heterogeneity without density, are included. A distributed and a lumped controls are involved, the latter appearing also in the side conditions. An existence theorem is proved for the uncontrolled system, and the sensitivity of the solution with respect to the control variables is estimated. The main result is an optimality condition in the form of the Pontryagin local maximum principle. A global maximum principle holds for the distributed control under an additional condition that rules out discrete measurable heterogeneity spaces. A number of possible applications are outlined: age-structured systems, size-structured systems, (nonlocal) advection-reaction equations, static parametric heterogeneity in epidemiology, and two-stage control systems with uncertain switching time.     

A complex multi-attribute large-group PLS decision-making method in the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment

In the complex multi-attribute large-group decision-making (CMALGDM) problems in interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment, attributes of the alternatives are often stratified and correlated. This paper proposes a decision-making method for these problems based on partial least squares (PLS) path modelling, which not only fully exploits the decision information of decision makers (DMs), but also effectively addresses the relativity problem in the decision attributes and objectively assigned weights to the primary decision attributes (i.e., “latent variables for decision making”). The method can be outlined in three steps. First, a two-stage method is proposed to transform the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (IVIFN) samples into single-valued samples. In this step, an improved C-OWA operator is first given to transform the IVIFN samples into intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN) samples, which makes the preference information of the DMs more objectively aggregated. Then a proposed membership-based method is applied to reduce the information loss and transform the IFN samples into single-valued samples. Second, the estimated values and weights of the “latent variables for decision-making” are obtained by means of the PLS path modelling algorithm. Finally, a multi-alternative sorting method is devised in accordance with the estimated values and weights. An example is provided to illustrate the proposed technique and evaluate its feasibility and validity.     

A general framework for cooperation under uncertainty

In this paper, we introduce a general framework for situations with decision making under uncertainty and cooperation possibilities. This framework is based upon a two stage stochastic programming approach. We show that under relatively mild assumptions the associated cooperative games are totally balanced. Finally, we consider several example situations.     

Simultaneous testing for the successive differences of exponential location parameters under heteroscedasticity

In this paper, the design-oriented two-stage and data-analysis one-stage multiple comparison procedures for successive comparisons of exponential location parameters under heteroscedasticity are proposed. One-sided and two-sided simultaneous confidence intervals are also given. We also extend these simultaneous confidence intervals for successive differences to a larger class of contrasts of the location parameters. Upper limits of critical values are obtained using the recent techniques given in Lam [Lam, K., 1987. Subset selection of normal populations under heteroscedasticity. In: Proceedings of the Second International Advanced Seminar/Workshop on Inference Procedures Associated with Statistical Ranking and Selection, Sydney, Australia; Lam, K., 1988. An improved two-stage selection procedure. Communications in Statistics Simulation and Computation. 17 (3), 995-1006]. These approximate critical values are shown to have better results than the approximate critical values using the Bonferroni inequality developed in this paper. Finally, the application of the proposed procedures is illustrated with an example.
