基于信用监管与防范的战略联盟演化博弈

为研究联盟成员信用与自身防范对联盟稳定性的影响,基于对专有性资源的攫取是机会主义行为的动机这一前提,建立战略联盟演化博弈模型,从理论上分析了信用惩罚额度和防范成本对战略联盟稳定性的影响.研究认为,通过进行信用监管,以及联盟成员自身实施一定的防范措施,有助于实现联盟稳定.过高或过低的惩罚额度与防范成本,将不利于联盟稳定.     

基于Hotelling模型促销活动策略采取的进化博弈分析

传统的Hotelling模型中,交通成本用于比拟消费者购物时发生的负效用.在现实经济生活中,商家会采取促销活动策略,以增强自家商品对他家商品的替代性,抵消消费者购物时发生的负效用.构造了一个可以由商家选择支付交通成本、商品降价空间受指导价约束的Hotelling模型,以商家提供免费购物车的方式,比拟现实生活中商家采取的多种促销活动,研究了原有的交通成本转移到商家后,对商家的销量、价格和利润的影响,以及竞争商家可能的应对.进而以进化博弈论为工具,研究了商家采用各项策略的进化稳定性.结果表明:为获取长远利益,商家采取促销活动策略,以及竞争商家的应对策略,都应结合需求、竞争、指导价水平、商品价格、促销成本等多种因素综合考虑.     

Participatory Sustainability Impact Assessment: Scientific Policy Advice as a Social Learning Process

This paper deals with the development of scientific policy advice by providing a methodology to foster a social learning process. The methodology, called participatory Sustainability Impact Assessment (pSIA), aims to structure complex problem situations, to clarify interests and basic assumptions, to interpret scientific studies, to develop impact assessment, and to explore sensitivity of uncertainty and lack of information. In pSIA workshops the participants are supposed to build conceptual models with different modelling methods, like System Dynamics, Value Chain Analysis, and Morphological Analysis. A case study is presented that describes a workshop series with political as well as academic actors, applying the pSIA approach to an impact assessment of Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union and the Eastern and Southern Africa Region.

Conflict Pattern Analysis: Preparing the Ground for Participation in Policy Implementation

The participation of non-state actors in implementation processes is often understood as a means to increase compliance efficiency. But the implementation of spatial policies frequently focuses on pre-established goals, processes and instruments and thus renders difficult open discourse and shared decision-making. This paper introduces conflict pattern analysis (CPA) as a tool that supports the analysis of the actual actor constellation in order to define efficient approaches that avoid common problems of participatory processes. CPA is a semi-formalised method that helps to identify key-actors, their relations and interaction amongst each other as well as their core beliefs, interests and resources. It aggregates this information to interaction patterns that can be compared, classified and linked to different participatory methods on a theoretically informed basis. Particularly on the local and regional level, this could be the first step for successful (participatory) implementation strategies.     

Tax Evasion: Models with Self-Audit

Different from traditional tax audit, supervision with self-audit is a combination of audit by the taxpayer himself and audit by the tax authority. This paper mainly studies a taxpayer＇s optimal policy of tax evasion under supervision with self-audit and its related properties, in order to deduce some effective suggestions and theoretical bases to restrain tax evasion. Assuming that only a certain proportion of evaded tax can be discovered when the audit is executed, the authors first formulate a static model with self-audit. This model is divided into two stages. At the first stage, taxpayers declare their taxes, then the tax authority chooses audit objects, based on a known probability, and announces the result; if the taxpayer is chosen, he will enter the second stage, during which he has a chance to pay the evaded tax and the corresponding late fees and then is audited by the tax authority. The authors show the existence and uniqueness of the optimal amount of tax evasion at the first stage and the optimal proportion to self-expose at the second stage. The authors also discuss the related properties of the interior solution, and do elasticity analyses on some parameters. Besides, the authors extend the static model into the corresponding two-period model, and study the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the extended model. Finally, under the assumption that tax evasion can only be discovered with a certain probability when the audit is executed, the authors formulate another static model with self-audit and investigate its properties.     

宽带波束空间恒模阵列

针对期望信号假设来向与实际来向存在误差时,传统的宽带波束空间自适应阵列有较大的性能损失,提出了一种对信号来向误差具有稳健性的算法。该方法利用信号的恒模特性,在期望信号来向未知的情况下,实现了对宽带信号的无失真接收。首先利用扇形滤波器,形成一组具有频率不变性的正交波束,然后基于恒模准则对各波束的输出进行处理得到最优权值。该方法对信号来向具有很强的稳健性,同时具有收敛速度快等优点。通过计算机仿真验证了所提方法的有效性与优越性。     

基于自组装DNA计算的RSA密码系统破译方案

自组装DNA计算在解决NP问题,尤其是破译密码系统方面,具有传统计算机无法比拟的优势。采用DNA分子瓦编码信息,借助于分子瓦之间的粘性末端进行自组装,给出了乘法运算的实现方案。在此基础上,通过引入非确定性的指派分子瓦,提出了一种用自组装DNA计算破译RSA公钥密码系统的非确定性算法。通过创建数以亿计的参与计算的DNA分子瓦,在DNA计算能力允许的范围内,该算法可以并行地测试每个可能的因子,以高概率地分解整数。该方法最大的优点是充分利用了DNA分子瓦具有的海量存储能力、生化反应的巨大并行性以及组装的自发有序性。     

Process capability analysis and estimation scheme for autocorrelated data

<正>Autocorrelation is prevalent in continuous production processes,such as the processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.With the development of measurement technology and data acquisition technology,sampling frequency is getting higher and the existence of autocorrelation cannot be ignored.This paper analyzes five estimation schemes of process capability for autocorrelated data.Comparisons among these schemes are discussed for small sample and large sample.In conclusion,this paper gives a procedure of process capability analysis for autocorrelated data.     

Clustering patents using non-exhaustive overlaps

Patent documents are unique external sources of information that reveal the core technology underlying new inventions.Patents also serve as a strategic data source that can be mined to discover state-of-the-art technical development and subsequently help guide R&D investments.This research incorporates an ontology schema to extract and represent patent concepts.A clustering algorithm with non-exhaustive overlaps is proposed to overcome deficiencies with exhaustive clustering methods used in patent mining and technology discovery.The non-exhaustive clustering approach allows for the clustering of patent documents with overlapping technical findings and claims,a feature that enables the grouping of patents that define related key innovations.Legal advisors can use this approach to study potential cases of patent infringement or devise strategies to avoid litigation.The case study demonstrates the use of non-exhaustive overlaps algorithm by clustering US and Japan radio frequency identification (RFID) patents and by analyzing the legal implications of automated discovery of patent infringement.     

Connecting informal networks to management of tacit knowledge

The relationship between tacit knowledge and informal networks has not been fully explored.Tacit knowledge cannot be well managed directly,because it is deeply embedded in individual actions and experiences.This study proposes an approach to managing informal networks as a new middle way to facilitate the sharing and transferring of tacit knowledge,owing to the fact that tacit knowledge is mostly shared and transferred through informal networks.To support the idea of the approach,an empirical case study of applying the approach to management of a large scientific project is also included.Our findings suggest that informal networks play essential roles for management of tacit knowledge,and thus good management of informal networks can lead to efficient sharing and transferring of tacit knowledge.
