An impulse control approach to dike height optimization

This paper determines the optimal timing of dike heightenings as well as the corresponding optimal dike heightenings to protect against floods. To derive the optimal policy, we design an algorithm based on the Impulse Control Maximum Principle. In this way, this paper presents one of the first real-life applications of the Impulse Control Maximum Principle developed by Blaquière. We show that the proposed impulse control (IC) approach performs better than dynamic programming with respect to computational time. This is caused by the fact that IC does not need discretization in time.     

Robust Saturated PI Joint Velocity Control for Robot Manipulators

It is well known that many industrial manipulators use an embedded linear proportional‐integral (PI) joint velocity controller to guarantee motion control through proper velocity commands. However, although this control scheme has been very successful in practice, not much attention has been paid to designing new PI velocity control structures. The problem of analyzing a saturated PI velocity joint velocity controller is addressed in this paper. By using the theory of singularly perturbed systems, the closed‐loop system is studied. The robot dynamics assumed in this paper take into account bounded time–varying disturbances which may include the friction at the joints. An experimental study in a planar two degrees‐of‐freedom direct‐drive robot is also presented, confirming the advantage of the new saturated PI joint velocity controller.     

恒定应力加速寿命试验算法探讨

恒定应力加速寿命试验具有试验方法简单、理论成熟、得到信息多、试验结果较为准确等优点。本文利用三种被广泛运用的统计推断方法对同一恒定应力加速寿命试验结果进行推断,分析比较算法的优劣：在样本量较小的情况下极大似然估计优于线性无偏估计,但是当各应力水平下的样品失效数较大时,极大似然估计与线性无偏估计几乎等效,而线性回归的方法计算较为简单,但是在应力水平较少的情况下误差较大。

基于震动信号HHT的车辆分类

震动传感器是智能监控传感器系统的重要组成部分。震动信号是一种非线性非平稳信号。相比于传统的时频分析方法,对希尔伯特-黄变换是一种更有效地处理非平稳信号的时频分析方法。将希尔伯特-黄变换引入到车辆分类中,提取震动信号特征信息,利用经验模态分解(EMD)获得车辆行驶引起的地面震动信号的固有模态函数(IMF),通过选取的固有模态函数得到相应的希尔伯特谱,然后在希尔伯特谱的基础上根据谱峰对车辆进行分类。仿真测试结果表明方法具有很高的正确率。     

Retrieving ocean surface current by 4-D variational assimilation of sea surface temperature images

In this article we propose a new method to estimate ocean mesoscale structures of the surface current velocity by processing sea surface satellite images. Assuming that the intensity level can be described by a transport-diffusion equation, the proposed approach is based on variational assimilation of image observations within a simple transport-diffusion model. This approach permits to retrieve the current velocity field from a sequence of satellite images. Results of processing synthetic data and real NOAA-AVHRR satellite images are presented and commented.     

Faster ARMA maximum likelihood estimation

A new likelihood based AR approximation is given for ARMA models. The usual algorithms for the computation of the likelihood of an ARMA model require O(n) flops per function evaluation. Using our new approximation, an algorithm is developed which requires only O(1) flops in repeated likelihood evaluations. In most cases, the new algorithm gives results identical to or very close to the exact maximum likelihood estimate (MLE). This algorithm is easily implemented in high level quantitative programming environments (QPEs) such as Mathematica, MatLab and R. In order to obtain reasonable speed, previous ARMA maximum likelihood algorithms are usually implemented in C or some other machine efficient language. With our algorithm it is easy to do maximum likelihood estimation for long time series directly in the QPE of your choice. The new algorithm is extended to obtain the MLE for the mean parameter. Simulation experiments which illustrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm are discussed. Mathematica and R packages which implement the algorithm discussed in this paper are available [McLeod, A.I., Zhang, Y., 2007. Online supplements to “Faster ARMA Maximum Likelihood Estimation”, 〈http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/aim/2007/faster/〉]. Based on these package implementations, it is expected that the interested researcher would be able to implement this algorithm in other QPEs.     

From Constrained to Unconstrained Maximum Agreement Subtree in Linear Time

We propose and study the Maximum Constrained Agreement Subtree (MCAST) problem, which is a variant of the classical Maximum Agreement Subtree (MAST) problem. Our problem allows users to apply their domain knowledge to control the construction of the agreement subtrees in order to get better results. We show that the MCAST problem can be reduced to the MAST problem in linear time and thus we have algorithms for MCAST with running times matching the fastest known algorithms for MAST. A preliminary version of this paper appears in the Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2005). Research of H.F.
