An algorithm for ordinal sorting based on ELECTRE with categories defined by examples

This work proposes a Progressive Assisted Sorting Algorithm (PASA) based on a multicriteria evaluation ELECTRE-type method. The purpose of the PASA is to aid a decision maker to progressively sort a set of alternatives into a set of categories, which we considered are ordered (ordinal sorting), following a consistency principle. We consider the principle that if an alternative outranks (is as good as) a second one, then it must belong to the same category or to a better category. The set of alternatives already sorted by the decision maker will implicitly define the categories, and will constrain the range of categories where other alternatives may be sorted. We show how the same idea may be used in an aggregation/disaggregation approach, considering some parameters of ELECTRE are not fixed a priori, but are constrained only by the examples provided. In this context, we establish a “convex-shape property” stating that the range of possible categories for an alternative is always an interval of categories. A discussion contrasting this approach with ELECTRE TRI is included in the conclusions.     

Asymmetric solution-phase mixture aldol reaction using oligomeric ethylene glycol tagged chiral oxazolidinones

Sorting tags are oligomeric structures that can be used as protecting groups or chiral auxiliaries enabling solution-phase mixture syntheses of multiple tagged compounds in one pot and allowing for facile and predictable chromatographic separation of products at the end of synthetic sequences. Perfluorinated hydrocarbon and oligomeric ethylene glycol (OEG) derivatives are known classes of sorting tags. Herein we describe the preparation of OEGylated chiral oxazolidinones and their use in asymmetric solution-phase mixture aldol reactions. Through the use of such oxazolidinones based on tyrosine four different individually tagged aldol adducts were obtained as a mixture, chromatographically demixed, detagged, and it was shown that these processes gave the desired aldol products in good yield and enantioselectivity.

Multiobjective optimization scheme for industrial synthesis gas sweetening plant in GTL process

In industrial amine plants the optimized operating conditions are obtained from the conclusion of occurred events and challenges that are normal in the working units. For the sake of reducing the costs, time consuming, and preventing unsuitable accidents, the optimization could be performed by a computer program. In this paper, simulation and parameter analysis of amine plant is performed at first. The optimization of this unit is studied using Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II in order to produce sweet gas with CO 2 mole percentage less than 2.0% and H 2 S concentration less than 10 ppm for application in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The simulation of the plant in HYSYS v.3.1 software has been linked with MATLAB code for real-parameter NSGA-II to simulate and optimize the amine process. Three scenarios are selected to cover the effect of (DEA/MDEA) mass composition percent ratio at amine solution on objective functions. Results show that sour gas temperature and pressure of 33.98 ? C and 14.96 bar, DEA/CO 2 molar flow ratio of 12.58, regeneration gas temperature and pressure of 94.92 ? C and 3.0 bar, regenerator pressure of 1.53 bar, and ratio of DEA/MDEA = 20%/10% are the best values for minimizing plant energy consumption, amine circulation rate, and carbon dioxide recovery.     

一种改进的雷达脉冲信号分选算法

重频分选方法中,由于序列差值直方图法(SDIF)对PRI抖动的雷达脉冲信号的分选能力差,而PRI变换法可以分选PRI抖动的雷达脉冲信号,但是运算量太大,难以实现实时分选。对SDIF算法进行了改进,采用交叠PRI箱的方法进行直方图的统计,使得改进后的SDIF在运算量增加不多的情况下,可以实时较好地分选PRI抖动量在10%以内的雷达脉冲信号。

一种新的按位块分段快速排序算法

针对分段快速排序法因分段映射策略不理想而造成算法复杂度显著增加之问题，文章提出了一种由按位块分段、分段映射和局部快速排序所组成的新排序算法——按位块分段快速排序法（以下简称为“按位块分段快速排序”）。算法分析和实验结果都表明：在待排序数据均匀分布或正态分布的情况下，按位块分段快速排序法的时间复杂度可以达到O（N），而附加存储空间开销却仅仅为N＋M（M为分段数目，1≤M≤N），同时排序速度明显优于Quick Sort、分段快速排序、分“档”统计插入排序和Proponion Split Sort等算法。     

A flexible approach to ranking with an application to MBA Programs

We develop a model for flexibly ranking multi-dimensional alternatives/units into preference classes via Mixed Integer Programming. We consider a linear aggregation model, but allow the criterion weights to vary within pre-specified ranges. This allows the individual alternatives/units to play to their strengths. We illustrate the use of the model by considering the Financial Times Global MBA Program rankings and discuss the implications. We argue that in many applications neither the data nor the weights or the aggregation model itself is precise enough to warrant a complete ranking, providing an argument for sorting or what we call flexible ranking.     

Sorting with networks of data structures

We consider the problem of sorting a permutation using a network of data structures as introduced by Knuth and Tarjan. In general the model as considered previously was restricted to networks that are directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of stacks and/or queues. In this paper we study the question of which are the smallest general graphs that can sort an arbitrary permutation and what is their efficiency. We show that certain two-node graphs can sort in time Θ(n²) and no simpler graph can sort all permutations. We then show that certain three-node graphs sort in time Ω(n^3/2), and that there exist graphs of k nodes which can sort in time Θ(nlog_kn), which is optimal.
