Firstly, according to the concurrent characteristics of Petri net model, we analyze the parallelism of Petri net system; then, by giving the solving process of place invariants and the function partitioning of Petri net, we propose the function partitioning conditions and determination theorem of Petri net parallelization, and conduct its theoretical proof and practical verification. On this basis, we conduct the theoretical study and analysis on the situation that Petri net system has several kinds of parallel function partitioning, propose the completeness theorem of parallelism function partitioning in Petri net system, and verify it. Finally, we give the algorithms, application examples and simulation experiment results of parallel function partitioning of Petri net systems based on place invariant. The theoretical proof and experimental results show that the function partitioning conditions and completeness theory of Petri net parallelization based on place invariant are correct, and the parallel algorithms under such theoretical basis are also correct and effective.展开更多

A new constrained VA is proposed by adding con- straint bits directly for conventional codec. Compared with the conventional VA, under the bad channel condi- tion, the proposed scheme can improve the peak signal to noise ratio （PSNR） of the decoding image 2--10 dB by changing the number of constrained bits. Experimental results show that it is an efficient error-controlling way for the transmission of set partitioning in hierarchical trees （SPIHT） coded image.展开更多

Optimi...Early water breakthrough and a rapid increase in water cut are always observed in high- permeability completion intervals when perforations are uniformly distributed in the wellbore in heterogeneous reservoirs. Optimization of perforating parameters in partitioned sections in horizontal intervals helps homogenize the inflow from the reservoir and thus is critically important for enhanced oil recovery. This paper derives a coupled reservoir-wellbore flow model based on inflow controlling theory. Genetic algorithms are applied to solving the model as they excel in obtaining the global optimum of discrete functions. The optimized perforating strategy applies a low perforation density in high- permeability intervals and a high perforation density in low-permeability intervals. As a result, the inflow profile is homogenized and idealized.展开更多
