Route choice is often modelled as a two-step procedure in which travellers choose their routes from small sets of promising candidates. Many methods developed to identify such choice sets rely on assumptions about the mechanisms behind the route choice and require corresponding data sets. Furthermore, existing approaches often involve considerable complexity or perform many repeated shortest path queries. This makes it difficult to apply these methods in comprehensive models with numerous origin-destination pairs. In this paper, we address these issues by developing an algorithm that efficiently identifies locally optimal routes. Such paths arise from travellers acting rationally on local scales, whereas unknown factors may affect the routes on larger scales. Though methods identifying locally optimal routes are available already, these algorithms rely on approximations and return only few, heuristically chosen paths for specific origin-destination pairs. This conflicts with the demands of route choice models, where an exhaustive search for many origins and destinations would be necessary. We therefore extend existing algorithms to return (almost) all admissible paths between a large number of origin-destination pairs. We test our algorithm and its applicability in route choice models on the road network of the Canadian province British Columbia and empirical data collected in this province. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

We develop a technique for establishing statistical tests with precise confidence levels for upper bounds on the critical probability in oriented percolation. We use it to give p(c) < 0.647 with a 99.999967% confidence. As Monte Carlo simulations suggest that p(c) approximate to 0.6445, this bound is fairly tight.

Graph-theoretical approaches have been widely applied in many disciplines, however, their implementation in power electronics converters and systems is still in the exploring stage. In this overview, we summarize the milestones and general applications of this powerful mathematical tool and illustrate its unique benefits in some emerging/challenging power electronics research topics, for example, systematic converter derivation and modeling, advanced control, and so on. Given the multidiscipline nature of power electronics, graph theory can serve as a bridge for experts in different disciplines with a universal framework for complex problems. With solid mathematical foundations, it can stimulate research of topological aspects in both converter and systematic levels, fits well for nowadays power electronics converter. It is hoped that this article can serve as a timely and handy summary for engineers/students who want to enter the field and promote the innovation of power-electronics-enabled applications.

We develop algorithmic techniques for the Coxeter spectral analysis of the class UBigr(n) of connected loop-free positive edge-bipartite graphs Delta with n >= 2 vertices (i.e., signed graphs). In particular, we present numerical and graphical algorithms allowing us a computer search in the study of such graphs Delta by means of their Gram matrix G(Delta), the (complex) spectrum specc(Delta) subset of C of the Coxeter matrix Cox(Delta) := -G(Delta) . G(Delta)(-tr) and the geometry of Weyl orbits in the set Mor(D Delta) of matrix morsifications A is an element of M-n(Z) of a simply laced Dynkin diagram D Delta is an element of {A(n), D-n, E-6, E-7, E-8} associated with Delta and mesh root systems of type D Delta. Our algorithms construct the Coxeter-Gram polynomials cox(Delta)(t) is an element of 7 vertical bar t vertical bar and mesh geometries of root orbits of small connected loop-free positive edge-bipartite graphs Delta. We apply them to the study of the following Coxeter spectral analysis problem: Does the Z-congruence Delta approximate to(Z) Delta' hold (i.e., the matrices G(Delta), and G(Delta'), are Z-congruent), for any pair of connected positive loop-free edge-bipartite graphs Delta, Delta' in UBigr(n), such that specc(Delta) = specc(Delta')? The problem if any square integer matrix A is an element of M-n(Z) is Z-congruent with its transpose A(tr) is also discussed. We present a solution for graphs in UBigr(n), with n <= 6.

At this stage, due to the continuous development of computer technology, whether in the online shopping or a variety of commercial exchanges with a use of the network, Internet of things is one of the most important operating intermediaries. But as people become more and more enthusiastic about online shopping, it is more and more difficult for the traditional Internet of things to meet the needs. In this paper, a scheme of Internet of things based on two-level supply chain dynamics was established to deal with these problems. In this paper, a rigorous computer algorithm was used to make analysis and summarizing, so that a new Internet of things based on two-level supply chain dynamics was established. Through our tests, the algorithm calculates the data correctly, which can meet the requirements on use.

This paper presents an innovative method for minimizing the vibration of structures with time-variant boundary conditions (supports). The elastic body is modeled in two ways: 1) the first model is a letter seven type beam with a movable mass not to exceed the lower tip;2) the second model has an arm that is a hollow beam with an inside mass with adjustable position. The complete solutions to both problems are carried out where the body is undergoing large rotation. The quasistatic procedure is used for the time-variant boundary conditions. The method developed employs partial differential equations governing the motion of the beam, including the effects of rigid-body motion, time-variant boundary conditions, and calculus of variations. The analytical solution is developed using Laplace and Fourier transforms. Examples of elastic robotic arms are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the methods developed.

Dynamic programming problem for discrete-time fractional order systems with quadratic performance index has been formulated and solved. A new method for numerical computation of optimal dynamic programming problem has been presented. The efficiency of the method has been demonstrated on numerical example and illustrated by graphs. Graphs also show the differences between the fractional and classical (standard) systems theory. Results for other cases of the coefficient , and not illustrated with numerical examples, have been obtained through a computer algorithm written for this purpose.

In many situations, it is difficult to measure strong currents directly, so the currents are measured by their magnetic fields (e.g. by sensors glued onto the cable surface). If we have only one cable, then it is easy to reconstruct the current from the magnetic field. But in many real-life situations, there is a neighboring cable whose current is also unknown. Moreover, the cables are hanging freely, so their distance is not precisely known. We show that in such situations, it is sufficient to have two pairs of sensors that measure magnetic field;the unknown current can be uniquely reconstructed from the corresponding measurement results by applying a simple computer algorithm.

A new scheme, called "list of nonredundant bonds", is presented to record the number of bonds and their positions for the atoms involved in Kekule valence structures of (poly)cyclic conjugated systems. Based on this scheme, a recursive algorithm for generating Kekule valence structures has been developed and implemented. The method is general and applicable for all kinds of (poly)cyclic conjugated systems including fullerenes. The application of the algorithm in generating Valence Bond (VB) wave functions, in terms of Kekule valence structures, is discussed and illustrated in actual VB calculations. Two types of VBSCF calculations, one involving Kekule valence structures only and the second one involving all covalent VB structures, were performed for benzene, pentalene, benzocyclobutadiene, and naphthalene. Both strictly local and delocalised p-orbitals were used in these calculations. Our results show that, when the orbitals are restricted to their own atoms, other VB structures (Dewar structures) also have a significant contribution in the VB wave function. When removing this restriction, the other VB structures (Dewar and also the ionic structures) are accommodated in the Kekule valence structures, automatically. Therefore, at VBSCF delocal level, the ground states of these systems can be described almost quantitatively by considering Kekule valence structures only at a considerable saving of time.
