In view of the nondifferentiability of this kind of stochastic programming modeling, an improved complex algorithm is designed and analyzed. This algorithm can effectively solve the nondifferentiable stochastic programming problem under LPI through the variable polyhedron iteration.

The first results were related to very simple algorithms, such as the （1＋1）-EA, on toy problems. These efforts produced a deeper understanding of how EAs perform on different kinds of fitness landscapes and general mathematical tools that may be extended to the analysis of more complicated EAs on more realistic problems. In fact, in recent years, it has been possible to analyze the （1＋1）-EA on combinatorial optimization problems with practical applications and more realistic population-based EAs on structured toy problems. This paper presents a survey of the results obtained in the last decade along these two research lines. The most common mathematical techniques are introduced, the basic ideas behind them are discussed and their elective applications are highlighted. Solved problems that were still open are enumerated as are those still awaiting for a solution. New questions and problems arisen in the meantime are also considered.展开更多

First, it is confirmed that earthquake process has some ordering characters, and it isshown that both the existence and their mutual arrangement of faults could obviously influence the overallcharacters of earthquake process.

Finally, earthquake sequences produced by the models are analysed interms pf algorithmic complexity and the result shows that AC-values of algorithmic complexity could be usedto study earthquake process and evolution.展开更多

The proposed algorithm is made up of two parts: the first part decomposes the network into several independent areas based on community structure and decouples the information flow and control power among areas; the second part selects the center nodes from each area with the help of the control centrality index. As long as the status of center nodes is kept on a satisfactory level in each area, the whole system is under effective control. Finally, the algorithm is applied to power grids, and the simulations prove its effectiveness.展开更多

It draws on merits of both GA and SAA ,and offsets their shortcomings.The difference from GA is that AGA takes objective function as adaptability function directly,so it cuts down some unnecessary time expense because of float-point calculation of function conversion.The difference from SAA is that AGA need not execute a very long Markov chain iteration at each point of temperature, so it speeds up the convergence of solution and makes no assumption on the search space,so it is simple and easy to be implemented.It can be applied to a wide class of problems.The optimizing principle and the implementing steps of AGA were expounded. The example of the parameter optimization of a typical complex electromechanical system named temper mill shows that AGA is effective and superior to the conventional GA and SAA.The control system of temper mill optimized by AGA has the optimal performance in the adjustable ranges of its parameters.展开更多

The obvious drawback of full detection of a received packet is the need to expend a significant amount of energy and processing complexity in order to fully decode a packet, only to discover the packet is illegible due to a collision. In this paper, we propose a suite of novel, yet simple and power-efficient algorithms to detect a collision without the need for full-decoding of the received packet. Our novel algorithms aim at detecting collision through fast examination of the signal statistics of a short snippet of the received packet via a relatively small number of computations over a small number of received IQ samples. Hence, the proposed algorithms operate directly at the output of the receiver's analog-to-digital converter and eliminate the need to pass the signal through the entire. In addition, we present a complexity and power-saving comparison between our novel algorithms and conventional full-decoding (for select coding schemes) to demonstrate the significant power and complexity saving advantage of our algorithms.展开更多

Our method is based on grouping several reductions into structures that can be encoded as directed acyclic graphs. The organized reduction pairs lead to sequences of projection maps that reduce the number of generators while preserving the homology groups of the original chain complex. This sequencing of reduction pairs allows updating the boundary information in a single step for a whole set of reductions, which shows impressive gains in computational performance compared to existing methods. In addition, our method gives the homology generators for a small additional cost.展开更多

We first slightly modify the maximum step size in the predictor step of the safeguard based Mehrotra-type algorithm for linear programming, that was proposed by Salahi et al. Then, using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan algebras, we extend the modified algorithm to symmetric cones. Based on the Nesterov-Todd direction, we obtain O（r log ε1） iteration complexity bound of this algorithm, where r is the rank of the Jordan algebras and ε is the required precision. We also present a new variant of Mehrotra-type algorithm using a new adaptive updating scheme of centering parameter and show that this algorithm enjoys the same order of complexity bound as the safeguard algorithm. We illustrate the numerical behaviour of the methods on some small examples.展开更多

In this paper, a new kernel function with simple algebraic expression is proposed. Based on this kernel function, a primal-dual interior-point methods （IPMs） for semidefinite optimization （SDO） is designed. And the iteration complexity of the algorithm as O（n^3/4 log n/ε） with large-updates is established. The resulting bound is better than the classical kernel function, with its iteration complexity O（n log n/ε） in large-updates case.展开更多

Therefore, how to effectively invert these spectral parameters has become the focused area of the complex resistivity inversion. An optimized BP neural network (BPNN) approach based on Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) algorithm was presented, which was able to improve global search ability for complex resistivity multi-parameter nonlinear inversion. In the proposed method, the nonlinear weight adjustment strategy and mutation operator were used to enhance the optimization ability of QPSO algorithm. Implementation of proposed QPSO-BPNN was given, the network had 56 hidden neurons in two hidden layers (the first hidden layer has 46 neurons and the second hidden layer has 10 neurons) and it was trained on 48 datasets and tested on another 5 synthetic datasets. The training and test results show that BP neural network optimized by the QPSO algorithm performs better than the BP neural network without initial optimization on the inversion training and test models, and the mean square error distribution is better. At the same time, a double polarized anomalous bodies model was also used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, the inversion results show that the QPSO-BP algorithm inversion clearly characterizes the anomalous boundaries and is closer to the values of the parameters.展开更多

In this paper an algorithm for modular multiplicative inverse is introduced and its computational space complexity is analyzed.

It is demonstrated that for range of numbers used in public-key encryption systems, the size of bit storage does not exceed a 2K-bit threshold in the worst-case. This feature of the Enhanced-Euclid algorithm allows designing special-purpose hardware for its implementation as a subroutine in communication-secure wireless devices.展开更多
