A new estimator of covariance matrix via partial Iwasawa coordinates

This paper is concerned with the problem of improving the estimator of covariance matrix under Stein’s loss. By the partial Iwasawa coordinates of covariance matrix, the corresponding risk can be split into three parts. One can use the information in the weighted matrix of weighted quadratic loss to improve one part of risk. However, this paper indirectly takes advantage of the information in the sample mean and reuses Iwasawa coordinates to improve the rest of risk. It is worth mentioning that the process above can be repeated. Finally, a Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to verify the theoretical results.     

Ruin probabilities with pairwise quasi-asymptotically independent and dominatedly-varying tailed claims

This paper considers the nonstandard renewal risk model in which a part of surplus is invested into a Black-Scholes market whose price process is modelled by a geometric Brownian motion, claim sizes form a sequence of not necessarily identically distributed and pairwise quasi-asymptotically independent random variables with dominatedly-varying tails.The authors obtain a weakly asymptotic formula for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities.In particular,if the claims are identically distributed and consistently-varying tailed,then an asymptotic formula is presented.     

Characterization of microbe cementitious materials

A new generation of cement, microbe cement, has been developed in response to the ever increasing awareness of environmental protection. Microbe cement is a new strengthening material based on microbiologically induced precipitation of calcium carbonate. This paper confirms the feasibility of binding loose sand particles using microbe cement and details the cementation mechanism of microbe cement. We have also prepared microbe cementitious materials (biosandstones). The compressive strength of the bio-sandstone, which depends on the content of calcium carbonate produced by microbially induced precipitation and the bio-mediated calcite crystal size, could be up to 12 MPa at an age of 20 days. By increasing the precipitated calcite content, the compressive strength and microstructure of bio-sandstone could be improved.     

Initializing K-means Batch Clustering: A Critical Evaluation of Several Techniques

K-means clustering is arguably the most popular technique for partitioning data. Unfortunately, K-means suffers from the well-known problem of locally optimal solutions. Furthermore, the final partition is dependent upon the initial configuration, making the choice of starting partitions all the more important. This paper evaluates 12 procedures proposed in the literature and provides recommendations for best practices.     

基于拍卖的多Agent协商系统的研究

在多Agent系统中经常相互协作的Agent会结成具有相对稳定的合作领域和共同的交易理念,从而形成一定的公共知识,可以协作完成子任务,而多Agent协商系统中的成员既有合作性又有自利性,只有将二者有机结合起来才能保证高效地完成任务。文章在分析拍卖方式网络化、自动化、竞争化的基础上,从拍卖请求方和能力竞争方的角度,引入拍卖过程中的超时思想和Agent合作的历史信息对拍卖任务得不到及时的处理和由于拍卖方和竞买方的信息不对称,没有考虑历史信息的情况下成交效率太低进行分析、研究,提出一种多Agent拍卖流程框架和协商算法,从而使得在拍卖中各响应者都以积极并诚实的姿态参与协商,以致大大地提高了协商效率,且增加了响应者之间的透明性。     

A fast pseudorandom number generator with BLAKE hash function

This paper presents a fast pseudorandom generation algorithm, which is based on the BLAKE hash function and can pass the random test of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Statistical Test Suite. Through theoretical analysis and experimental imitation, our new algorithm is proven to be more secure and efficient than G-SHA1. Simultaneously, we introduce and discuss the BLAKE in detail. Its security shows that can be utilized to generate pseudorandom bit sequences, which the experimental results show the BLAKE hash function has excellent pseudorandomness. Therefore, we believe the BLAKE is one of the most potential candidate algorithms of SHA-3 program.     

NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITION FOR GLOBAL CONTROLLABILITY OF A CLASS OF AFFINE NONLINEAR SYSTEMS

In this paper, we investigate the global controllability of a class of n-dimensional affine nonlinear systems with n- 1 controls and constant control matrix. A necessary and sufficient condition for its global controllability has been obtained by using the methods recently developed. Furthermore, we generalize the above result to a class of affine nonlinear systems with a block-triangular-like structure. Finally, we will give three examples to show the applications of our results.

Hurst’s analysis to detect fluctuation of the jet in a two-dimensional fluidized bed

The experimental study of vertical jet in a two-dimensional fluidized bed is presented. The time series of vertical jet penetration depth are acquired by image processing. The fluctuation of jet which is studied by means of Hurst’s analysis becomes weaker with increase in jet velocity, fluidization number, particle diameter and static bed height. They are found that the signal is persistent and the fractal dimensional of vertical jet is between 1. 19 and 1. 64.

On functional decomposition of multivariate polynomials with differentiation and homogenization

This paper gives a theoretical analysis for the algorithms to compute functional decomposition for multivariate polynomials based on differentiation and homogenization which were proposed by Ye,Dai,and Lam(1999) and were developed by Faugere,Perret(2006,2008,2009).The authors show that a degree proper functional decomposition for a set of randomly decomposable quartic homogenous polynomials can be computed using the algorithm with high probability.This solves a conjecture proposed by Ye,Dai,and Lam(1999).The authors also propose a conjecture which asserts that the decomposition for a set of polynomials can be computed from that of its homogenization and show that the conjecture is valid with high probability for quartic polynomials.Finally,the authors prove that the right decomposition factors for a set of polynomials can be computed from its right decomposition factor space.
