Novel cued search strategy based on information gain for phased array radar

A search strategy based on the maximal information gain principle is presented for the cued search of phased array radars. First, the method for the determination of the cued search region, arrangement of beam positions, and the calculation of the prior probability distribution of each beam position is discussed. And then, two search algorithms based on information gain are proposed using Shannon entropy and Kullback-Leibler entropy, respectively. With the proposed strategy, the information gain of each beam position is predicted before the radar detection, and the observation is made in the beam position with the maximal information gain. Compared with the conventional method of sequential search and confirm search, simulation results show that the proposed search strategy can distinctly improve the search performance and save radar time resources with the same given detection probability.     

Cluster Synchronization in a Complex Dynamical Network with Two Nonidentical Clusters

This paper further investigates cluster synchronization in a complex dynamical network with two-cluster. Each cluster contains a number of identical dynamical systems, however, the subsystems composing the two clusters can be different, i.e., the individual dynamical system in one cluster can differ from that in the other cluster. Complete synchronization within each cluster is possible only if each node from one cluster receives the same input from nodes in other cluster. In this case, the stability condition of one-cluster synchronization is known to contain two terms： the first accounts for the contribution of the inner-cluster coupling structure while the second is simply an extra linear term, which can be deduced by the ＂same-input＂ condition. Applying the connection graph stability method, the authors obtain an upper bound of input strength for one cluster if the first account is known, by which the synchronizability of cluster can be scaled. For different clusters, there are different upper bound of input strength by virtue of different dynamics and the corresponding cluster structure. Moreover, two illustrative examples are presented and the numerical simulations coincide with the theoretical analysis.     

要加强对复杂适应性系统的研究——对自组织理论的反思

简单回顾了自组织理论的发展历史、内容和采用的方法,重点分析了自组织理论的研究对象和研究范围;指出自组织理论在研究复杂系统上的局限性——只适于研究简单巨系统,它研究的是系统演化的结果而非过程;自组织理论使用微分方程作为数学工具,要求子系统之间的相互作用要满足叠加原理而不考虑涌现的情况。在此基础上,本文提出要加强复杂适应性系统的研究,具体有两方面的工作：首先要加强计算机作为数学工具的应用,扩展对系统状态描述的范围;另外要加强对层次性的研究,重点是对涌现问题的分析。最后提出现在加强复杂系统的研究应从实际的具体系统入手。     

连续竞价市场中格式化特征形成机理的仿真研究

现有的研究一般将金融市场中的胖尾分布、波动聚集、长期记忆等格式化特征的形成机理归于交易者的行为.为了研究市场交易机制对这些特征有何影响,以我国证券市场交易制度为蓝本,建立了一个连续竞价市场的基于Agent的仿真模型.仿真结果表明:在连续竞价机制下,即使Agent是理性的基本分析者或简单的随机交易者,模型仍然能够再现上述特征.这一结果说明,交易机制也是导致格式化特征的重要原因.     

风险管理中的风险分配问题

为了进一步明晰风险管理实践中选择风险分配函数的问题,通过引入风险度量定义,分析了无组合效应风险与可互换风险这两种具有特殊性质的个体风险特征,并在此基础上讨论了风险分配应该满足的原则,继而证明并比较了标准差风险度量下,协方差风险分配函数与相对风险分配函数性质上的差异,并得到如下结论:1)风险预算也是一种特殊形式的风险分配函数;2)在标准差风险度量下,协方差风险分配函数是可行的风险分配函数;3)在标准差风险度量下,相对风险分配函数不是可行的风险分配函数;4)在一定条件下,风险分配函数之间具有等价性.     

一种时空联合约束的多源航迹相似性度量模型

针对传统方法无法有效度量多源异步航迹时空相似性的问题,该文提出了一种适用于多源异步航迹的相似性度量模型。基于时间和空间联合约束下寻找近似时空特征匹配点的思想,通过设置时间和空间阈值上寻找符合要求的匹配点,并通过空间相似函数度量匹配点的相似性,确定最优匹配点并计算多源航迹间的航迹时空相似度。实测数据表明,该模型可以有效度量异类传感器航迹的相似性,且时间性能较优。基于该模型的航迹关联算法在仿真的复杂多目标环境中的关联准确性优于现有算法,且在对海雷达误差估计中得到了应用。     

公司超额银行借款与诉讼风险

公司诉讼风险的影响因素已得到学术界的广泛关注,但目前的研究较少从公司融资行为角度探讨,本文以2003-2015年中国A股上市公司为研究对象,探讨超额银行借款与公司诉讼风险之间的关系.实证研究发现,公司超额银行借款与诉讼风险存在显著正相关关系,公司内部控制水平的提高以及地区法律环境的改善可以显著弱化二者的正相关关系,并且公司内部控制与地区法律环境在弱化公司超额银行借款引起的诉讼风险过程中存在相互替代的关系.本文从公司超额银行借款行为出发,拓展了公司诉讼风险影响因素的研究视角;同时结合内部控制和地区法律环境,丰富了宏观环境对公司微观主体行为影响的研究.     

Supply chain performance for deteriorating items with cooperative advertising

To study the effect of cooperative advertising on the supply chain of deteriorating items, this paper establishes a Stackelberg game model for a two-echelon deteriorating items supply chain composed of one manufacturer and one retailer under a given support program with an exogenous participation rate. The manufacturer as the leader determines the wholesale price and production rate, and the retailer as the follower determines the retail price and advertising strategies. The strategies of the players under the decentralized scenario and the centralized scenario are respectively characterized. Numerical simulations and sensitivity analysis are conducted to gain some managerial insights. It is shown that the pricing, advertising and production strategies are negatively correlated to deteriorating coefficient, and both the profit and the channel efficiency decrease with deteriorating coefficient; The interaction between price, advertising investment and production rate results in a higher retail price of the centralized channel compared to that of the decentralized channel; Implementing the cooperative advertising program does improve the performance of the supply chain in some cases and the participation rate roughly at 0.5 is most preferable, but it is also possible to distort incentive and damage the channel performance when the participation rate reaches a relatively high level.     

Design of radiation hard phase-locked loop at 2.5 GHz using SOS-CMOS

Abstract: A radiation hard phase-locked loop (PLL) is designed at 2.5 GHz using silicon on sapphire complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. Radiation hardness is achieved through improving circuit design without sacrificing real estate. Stability is guaranteed by a fully self-bias architecture. The lock time of PLL is minimized by maximizing the loop bandwidth. Frequency tuning range of voltage controlled oscillator is significantly enhanced by a novel load configuration. In addition, multiple bias stages, asynchronous frequency divider, and silicon on sapphire process jointly make the proposed PLL more radiation hard. Layout of this PLL is simulated by Cadence Spectre RF under both single event effect and total induced dose effect. Simulation results demonstrate excellent stability, lock time < 600 ns, frequency tuning range [1.57 GHz, 3.46 GHz], and jitter < 12 ps. Through comparison with PLLs in literatures, the PLL is especially superior in terms of lock time and frequency tuning range performances.
