Recently, Gu et al. showed that the problem is NP-hard even for star graphs restricted with unique destination, and gave a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem for paths restricted with unique destination and zero detour. In this paper we will give a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the problem in polynomial time for trees restricted with unique destination and zero detour. In our best knowledge it is a first polynomial-time algorithm for trees.展开更多

Dynamic load balancing is a technique for the parallel implementation of problems, which generate unpredictable workloads by migration work units from heavily loaded processor to lightly loaded processors at run time. This paper proposed an efficient load balancing method in which parallel tree computations depth first search (DFS) generates unpredictable, highly imbalance workloads and moves through different phases detectable at run time, where dynamic load balancing strategy is applicable in each phase running under the MPI(message passing interface) and Unix operating system on cluster of workstations parallel platform computing.展开更多

In recent years, data-driven approaches have been proposed and implemented to tackle the problem, e.g., neural networks, fuzzy and neurofuzzy approaches, support vector machine, K-nearest neighbor classifiers and inference methodologies. Among these methods, dynamic uncertain causality graph(DUCG)has been proved effective in many practical cases. However, the causal graph construction behind the DUCG is complicate and, in many cases, results redundant on the symptoms needed to correctly classify the fault. In this paper, we propose a method to simplify causal graph construction in an automatic way. The method consists in transforming the expert knowledge-based DCUG into a fuzzy decision tree(FDT) by extracting from the DUCG a fuzzy rule base that resumes the used symptoms at the basis of the FDT. Genetic algorithm(GA) is, then, used for the optimization of the FDT, by performing a wrapper search around the FDT: the set of symptoms selected during the iterative search are taken as the best set of symptoms for the diagnosis of the faults that can occur in the system. The effectiveness of the approach is shown with respect to a DUCG model initially built to diagnose 23 faults originally using 262 symptoms of Unit-1 in the Ningde NPP of the China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation. The results show that the FDT, with GA-optimized symptoms and diagnosis strategy, can drive the construction of DUCG and lower the computational burden without loss of accuracy in diagnosis.展开更多
