On regional nonlinear H-filtering

The structure of the nonlinear H^∞-filter in the neighborhood of the estimated trajectory is investigated and a bound on the size of the neighborhood that allows this structure is determined, both for finite and infinite horizons. Riccati inequalities that depend on the estimated trajectory are derived for finding the filter gain matrix and an algorithm for calculating the bound on the size of the above neighborhood is presented. Explicit formulas are obtained in the infinite horizon case for the minimum achievable disturbance attenuation level, the size of the neighborhood, and the corresponding filter gain.     

羊二庄油田-断块明Ⅲ5层系开发效果分析

由于底水正韵律油藏的特殊性，在油藏开发后期，实施提高采收率的常规方法难以达到预期效果，油藏挖潜困难。在对羊二庄油田-断块Ⅲ5油藏地质特点分析的基础上。对开发历史上采用的各种治理手段，对断块油藏开发效果进行评价。并利用油藏数值模拟、精细油藏描述等技术，通过对油藏进行油水运移规律、底水油藏数值模拟等研究，得出油藏剩余油分布结论，进一步制定了符合油藏实际情况并在目前技术条件下可以实施的治理方法，目前已实施并取得成功。     

Mining evolving data streams for frequent patterns

A data stream is a potentially uninterrupted flow of data. Mining this flow makes it necessary to cope with uncertainty, as only a part of the stream can be stored. In this paper, we evaluate a statistical technique which biases the estimation of the support of patterns, so as to maximize either the precision or the recall, as chosen by the user, and limit the degradation of the other criterion. Theoretical results show that the technique is not far from the optimum, from the statistical standpoint. Experiments performed tend to demonstrate its potential, as it remains robust even under significant distribution drifts.     

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions of Existence of Extreme Distributions F 5 – F 7 in the Generalized Chebyshev Inequalities Problem. Part II

The optimization problem for a linear functional on the set of distribution functions with two fixed power moments is considered. New criteria are proposed for the existence of the extreme distributions, on which a linear functional may take on the extremum value.     

Valid parameter range analyses for chemical reaction kinetic models

The present work quantifies the relations between the structure of a chemical reaction kinetic model, its valid parameter range, and the truncation error tolerance of the model. General methods are presented to solve the three important problems of valid parameter range analysis: (1) identification of the valid parameter range of a kinetic model, (2) estimation of the error tolerance required when applying a kinetic model over a specified parameter range, and (3) improvement of existing model generation algorithms to construct more robust models. Finally, the relationship between a model's structure, its valid parameter range, and the truncation error tolerance are illustrated by the flexibility-tolerance-model graph. The new methods are applied to pyrolysis of methane/ethane mixtures.

A method to find all solutions of a system of multivariate polynomial equalities and inequalities in the max algebra

In this paper we show that finding solutions of a system of multivariate polynomial equalities and inequalities in the max algebra is equivalent to solving an Extended Linear Complementarity Problem. This allows us to find all solutions of such a system of multivariate polynomial equalities and inequalities and provides a geometrical insight in the structure of the solution set. We also demonstrate that this enables us to solve many important problems in the max algebra and the max-min-plus algebra such as matrix decompositions, construction of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial, state space transformations and the (minimal) state space realization problem.Research assistant with the N.F.W.O.
