二维曲线的求交是CAD&CG中的一个基本问题,论文提出了一种由圆弧和直线段组成的二维曲线快速求交方法。首先选择一个最优方向,根据最优方向把封闭曲线分割为一系列单调链,然后通过拓展Bentley-Ottman的扫描线算法对单调链进行求交。算法时间复杂度为O((n+k)logm),其中n为顶点个数,k为交点的个数,m为划分的单调链的个数。

On the Optimality of Randomized Deadlock Avoidance Policies

This paper revisits the problem of selecting an optimal deadlock resolution strategy, when the selection criterion is the maximization of the system throughput, and the system is Markovian in terms of its timing and routing characteristics. This problem was recently addressed in some of our previous work, that (i) provided an analytical formulation for it, (ii) introduced the notion of randomized deadlock avoidance as a generalization of the more traditional approaches of deadlock prevention/avoidance, and detection and recovery, and (iii) provided a methodology for selecting the optimal randomized deadlock avoidance policy for a given resource allocation system (RAS) configuration. An issue that remained open in the problem treatment of that past work, was whether the proposed policy randomization is essential, i.e., whether there exist any RAS configurations for which a randomized deadlock avoidance policy is superior to any other policy that does not employ randomization. The work presented in this paper establishes that for the basic problem formulation where the only concern is the (unconstrained) maximization of the system throughput—or the other typical performance objectives of minimizing the system work-in-process and mean sojourn time—randomization of the deadlock resolution strategy is not essential. However, it is also shown that, sometimes, it can offer an effective mechanism for accommodating additional operational constraints, like the requirement for production according to a specified product mix. Furthermore, the undertaken analysis provides an analytical characterization of the dependence of the aforementioned performance measures on the transition rates relating to the various events of the underlying state space, which can be useful for the broader problem of synthesizing efficient scheduling policies for the considered class of resource allocation systems.

Unsupervised segmentation of hidden semi-Markov non-stationary chains

The Bayesian segmentation using Hidden Markov Chains (HMC) is widely used in various domains such as speech recognition, acoustics, biosciences, climatology, text recognition, automatic translation and image processing. On the one hand, hidden semi-Markov chains (HSMC), which extend HMC, have turned out to be of interest in many situations and have improved HMC-based results. On the other hand, the case of non-stationary data can pose an important problem in real-life situations, especially when the model parameters have to be estimated. The aim of this paper is to consider these two extensions simultaneously: we propose using a particular triplet Markov chain (TMC) to deal with non-stationary hidden semi-Markov chains. In addition, we consider a recent particular HSMC having the same computation complexity as the classical HMC. We propose a related parameter estimation method and the resulting unsupervised Bayesian segmentation is validated through experiments; in particular, a real radar image segmentations are provided.     

Closed-loop stability analysis of a gantry crane with heavy chain and payload

In this paper, we analyse a systematically designed and easily tunable backstepping-based boundary control concept for a gantry crane with heavy chain and payload. The corresponding closed-loop system is formulated as an abstract evolution equation in an appropriate Hilbert space. Non-restrictive conditions for the controller coefficients are derived, under which the solutions are described by a C₀-semi-group of contractions, and are asymptotically stable. Moreover, by applying Huang's theorem we can finally even show that under these conditions the controller renders the closed-loop system exponentially stable.     

Probabilistic performance prediction model for Austrian torrent control infrastructure

Due to the growing stock of torrent control structures and decreasing investments, the protection level can be reduced in the long term. Therefore, the focus of the future investments has been shifted on efficiency improvement and maintenance of existing structures. The maintenance of the existing structures is necessary to ensure safety from natural hazards, which are increasing as a consequence of the climate change. Due to the increasing number of structures, there is a strong need to develop a good maintenance management for these infrastructure works. This study is based on data from the condition rating programme of the Austrian Service for Torrent and Avalanche Control. For the structures relevant in this work, 75,343 records were available. The data were examined for different construction type and construction materials. The reliability of the structures was determined by means of the Markov chain. The study describes a homogeneous Markov chain model formed by the data of the condition rating. The result of this study is a proposal for a time to failure (TTF) and a time to repair (TTR) for several construction types with different construction materials as well as the time-dependent use of construction materials in the sector of the Austrian torrent control infrastructure.     

Alkylated indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazoles as new building blocks for solution processable organic electronics

A facile strategy for the introduction of tert-butyl and hexyl chains to the indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole scaffold is presented. With these building blocks six materials based on three different 4,4′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1-biphenyl derivatives with varying degree of planarization were prepared. Characterization of the materials showed that the alkyl chains have only minor effects on the photophysical properties of the compounds. In contrast, thermal robustness towards decomposition and electrochemical stability are increased by the introduced alkyl chains. Detailed investigation of the solubility in five different solvents revealed that the incorporation of the alkyl chains increases the solubility significantly. The increased solubility of the materials allowed the application as host materials in red, green and sky-blue solution processed phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. Hence, this work presents the first solution processed light emitting devices based on the indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole scaffold.
