Advance selling in the presence of product diffusion effect

Product diffusion refers to the phenomenon that the later demand is dependent on the early sales. To investigate how a firm’s advance selling strategy is affected by the effect of product diffusion, we consider a monopolist seller who sells a fashionable product in a market that comprises of myopic and strategic consumers over two periods (i.e., the advance selling season and the regular selling season). For a linear product diffusion effect we find that, when the effect of product diffusion is positive, the seller may set an extremely high advance selling price to induce the strategic consumers to purchase in the regular selling season, which is counter-intuitive. Moreover, the optimal procurement quantity for the seller may increase in the negative effect of product diffusion and decrease in the amount of strategic consumers. When we extend our model to consider a concave quadratic product diffusion effect, however, the optimal procurement quantity is concave in the amount of strategic consumers. Numerical studies are further presented to discuss the managerial insights.     

Dual hesitant fuzzy information aggregation with Einstein t-conorm and t-norm

Dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) is a new generalization of fuzzy set (FS) consisting of two parts (i.e., the membership hesitancy function and the non-membership hesitancy function), which confronts several different possible values indicating the epistemic degrees whether certainty or uncertainty. It encompasses fuzzy set (FS), intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) so that it can handle uncertain information more flexibly in the process of decision making. In this paper, we propose some new operations on dual hesitant fuzzy sets based on Einstein t-conorm and t-norm, study their properties and relationships and then give some dual hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators, which can be considered as the generalizations of some existing ones under fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy and hesitant fuzzy environments. Finally, a decision making algorithm under dual hesitant fuzzy environment is given based on the proposed aggregation operators and a numerical example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

CONSTRUCTIVE KISSING NUMBERS IN HIGH-DIMENSIONAL SPACES

In the present paper, we focus on constructive spherical codes. By employing algebraic geometry codes, we give an explicit construction of spherical code sequences. By making use of the idea involved in the proof of the Gilbert-Varshamov bound in coding theory, we construct a spherical code sequence in exponential time which meets the best-known asymptotic bound by Shamsiev and Wyner.     

Discovering non-terminating inputs for multi-path polynomial programs

This paper investigates the termination problems of multi-path polynomial programs （MPPs） with equational loop guards. To establish sufficient conditions for termination and nontermination simultaneously, the authors propose the notion of strong/weak non-termination which under/over- approximates non-termination. Based on polynomial ideal theory, the authors show that the set of all strong non-terminating inputs （SNTI） and weak non-terminating inputs （WNTI） both correspond to tile real varieties of certain polynomial ideals. Furthermore, the authors prove that the variety of SNTI is computable, and under some sufficient conditions the variety of WNTI is also computable. Then by checking the computed SNTI and WNTI varieties in parallel, termination properties of a consid- ered MPP can be asserted. As a consequence, the authors establish a new framework for termination analysis of MPPs.     

Polynomial-rooting based fourth-order MUSIC for direction-of-arrival estimation of noncircular signals

A polynomial-rooting based fourth-order cumulant algorithm is presented for direction-of-arrival（DOA） estimation of second-order fully noncircular source signals, using a uniform linear array（ULA）. This algorithm inherits all merits of its spectralsearching counterpart except for the applicability to arbitrary array geometry, while reducing considerably the computation cost.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the previously developed closed-form second-order noncircular ESPRIT method, in terms of processing capacity and DOA estimation accuracy, especially in the presence of spatially colored noise.

基于GIS和USLE模型的巢湖流域土壤侵蚀评价

土壤侵蚀是全世界都关心的土地资源与环境保护问题。巢湖作为中国第五大淡水湖,近年来由于水体富营养化产生的水华现象引起多方重视,对巢湖流域土壤侵蚀评估对于环境保护战略与土地规划政策具有重要的意义。基于GIS平台,采用通用土壤流失方程(USLE)来评估巢湖流域14县/区2000年到2010年土壤侵蚀空间分布变化趋势。研究表明:(1)巢湖流域土壤侵蚀严重区域主要分布在金安区、舒城县、居巢区以及含山县的丘陵地区,即杭埠河-丰乐河流域、裕溪河流域与柘皋河流域的上游地区;(2)从2000年到2010年,土壤微度侵蚀、强度侵蚀、极强度侵蚀和剧烈侵蚀区域占巢湖流域总面积比例分别减少了0.5%、0.05%、0.21%和0.23%,而轻度侵蚀、中度侵蚀区域所占比例分别增加了0.98%和0.01%,总体呈现土壤强度侵蚀、极强度侵蚀与剧烈侵蚀区域向轻、中度侵蚀转移的趋势。(3)植被覆盖度变化是巢湖流域土壤侵蚀分级发生变化的主要原因,总体上,2000~2010年研究区由于植被覆盖度的波动性增加呈现土壤侵蚀分级波动性降低的趋势。
