A cubic regularization algorithm for unconstrained optimization using line search and nonmonotone techniques

In recent years, cubic regularization algorithms for unconstrained optimization have been defined as alternatives to trust-region and line search schemes. These regularization techniques are based on the strategy of computing an (approximate) global minimizer of a cubic overestimator of the objective function. In this work we focus on the adaptive regularization algorithm using cubics (ARC) proposed in Cartis et al. [Adaptive cubic regularisation methods for unconstrained optimization. Part I: motivation, convergence and numerical results, Mathematical Programming A 127 (2011), pp. 245–295]. Our purpose is to design a modified version of ARC in order to improve the computational efficiency preserving global convergence properties. The basic idea is to suitably combine a Goldstein-type line search and a nonmonotone accepting criterion with the aim of advantageously exploiting the possible good descent properties of the trial step computed as (approximate) minimizer of the cubic model. Global convergence properties of the proposed nonmonotone ARC algorithm are proved. Numerical experiments are performed and the obtained results clearly show satisfactory performance of the new algorithm when compared to the basic ARC algorithm.     

Gain‐scheduled filtering for linear parameter‐varying systems using inexact scheduling parameters with bounded variation rates

This paper is concerned with the problem of full‐order H₂ linear parameter‐varying filter design for continuous‐time systems with bounded rate of variations under the condition that the scheduling parameters do not exactly fit the real ones. The scheduling parameters and their derivatives are supposed to belong to polytopes with known vertices. The synthesis conditions are formulated in terms of parameter‐dependent bilinear matrix inequalities by means of parameter‐dependent Lyapunov function and introducing some extra variables for the filter design. An iterative procedure is presented to cast the bilinear matrix inequalities problem into a linear matrix inequality optimization problem. The design of robust filters for both time‐varying and time‐invariant systems can be viewed as particular cases of the proposed method. The merit of the method presented in this paper lies in two fields. The first pertains to dealing with the measurement uncertainty in a less conservative manner than available approaches in the gain‐scheduled filtering problem. The second is to provide more efficient methods than the existing ones in the literature for the robust filter design. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

山西省近50年风速变化及突变特征分析

利用线性拟合、M-K方法对山西省22个气象观测站1960—2010年的逐日风速资料进行了倾向、突变、逐年代变化等特征分析。研究表明,近50年来山西省平均风速存在明显的下降趋势,平均风速由20世纪60年代的2.16 m/s下降到21世纪初的1.86 m/s;不同时间段呈现不同的变化特征,1979—1989年风速出现显著下降,年均递减率达到0.046 m/s,变率远超出其他时段;对近50年山西省平均风速进行M-K检验后发现,在1982年出现明显的突变点。山西省四季平均风速均呈下降趋势,四季风速下降速率最快的为春季,冬季次之,夏季风速下降速率最慢。同样,四季风速均发生突变,突变时间点分布在1980—1985年间。除8月外,山西省各个月份风速也呈下降趋势,且均出现突变现象。     

Calculation of film stress from pitch measurements in LCD panel manufacturing

A method based on inverting a finite element model is presented for determining film stress from pitch changes before and after a film deposition step in liquid‐crystal display panel manufacturing. It differs from the conventional methods by making use of in‐plane deformation rather than out‐of‐plane measurements to calculate film stress. The resulting film stress is confounded with glass structural relaxation. Measurements of out‐of‐plane deformation at the edge of the sheet can be used with the pitch measurements to separate the effects of glass structural relaxation and film stress.

针对季节性河流流量具有周期性变化的特点,采用季节性污水排放计划(SDP)的季节划分方法,提出季节性河流水环境容量计算方法。以渭河干流关中段为例,将一年划分为旱雨两季,利用一维水质模型计算8个季节划分方案和1个对照方案在50%、75%和90%保证率下的水环境容量。研究结果表明:在相同保证率下,分季节计算的渭河干流关中段COD和NH3-N环境容量分别是传统环境容量计算方法的1.17~1.59倍和1.25~1.79倍,表明分季节计算的河流水环境容量明显大于以年为单位计算的河流水环境容量。     

基于总入流概念的鄱阳湖设计洪水计算

由于受到江河湖槽自然演变和人类活动的影响,鄱阳湖出湖控制站实测资料无法满足一致性和可靠性要求,再加上湖区水情复杂、观测资料匮乏,导致设计洪水计算面临较大困难。基于入库洪水理论,引入了总入流的计算方法,对于湖区各支流控制站和无控区间来水的流量过程,只考虑传播时间的叠加,避免了对各种自然、人为因素影响的定量计算,计算结果真实反映了洪水量级与时程分配过程,满足设计洪水计算规范要求。计算成果可为鄱阳湖区综合规划、水利枢纽设计提供依据。     

E-ARK: Harmony of Social/Cultural Records Across Europe

E-ARK (European Archiving of Records and Knowledge Preservation) is currently introducing standardization, new tools, and infrastructure into pan-European digital archival systems. The results of this pilot project can be applied to higher education where research data centers are required to preserve data for re-use in accordance with new open policies.

We elucidate how the E-ARK best practice survey has informed the development of new information packages for ingest, preservation, and re-use, and show how these can be applied to the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences with practical exemplars such as census data.     

Optimal Control of Switching Times in Switched Stochastic Systems

In this paper, we solve an optimal control problem for switched stochastic systems using calculus of variations, where the objective is to minimize a cost functional defined on the state and the switching times are the sole control variables. In particular, we focus on the problem in which a pre‐specified sequence of active subsystems is given. For one switching time case, the derivative of the cost functional with respect to the switching time is derived, which has an especially simple form and can be directly used in gradient descent algorithms to locate the optimal switching instant. Then, we propose an approach to deal with the problem with multi‐switching times case. Finally, two numerical examples are given, highlighting the viability and advantages of the proposed methodology.     

Mbius-invariant curve and surface energies and their applications

Curvature-based surface energies are frequently used in mathematics, physics, thin plate and shell engineering, and membrane chemistry and biology studies. Invariance under rotations and shifts makes curvature-based energies very attractive for modeling various phenomena. In computer-aided geometric design, the Willmore surfaces and the so-called minimum variation surfaces （MVS） are widely used for shape modeling purposes. The Willmore surfaces are invariant w.r.t conformal transformations （Mbius or conformal invariance）, and studied thoroughly in differential geometry and related disciplines. In contrast, the minimum variation surfaces are not conformal invariant. In this paper, we suggest a simple modification of the minimum variation energy and demonstrate that the resulting modified MVS enjoy Mbius invariance （so we call them conformal-invariant MVS or, shortly, CI-MVS）. We also study connections of CI-MVS with the cyclides of Dupin. In addition, we consider several other conformal-invariant curve and surface energies involving curvatures and curvature derivatives. In particular, we show how filtering with a conformal-invariant curve energy can be used for detecting salient subsets of the principal curvature extremum curves used by Hosaka and co-workers for shape quality inspection purposes.
