Scheduling sensors to prolong the lifetime of covering targets in the field is one of the central problems in wireless sensor networks. This problem, called the maximum lifetime coverage problem (MLCP), can be formulated as a linear programming problem with exponential size, and has a constant-factor approximation algorithm. In reality, however, batteries of sensors have recovery effects, which is a phenomenon that the deliverable energy in batteries can be replenished by itself if it is left idling for sufficient duration. Thanks to that effects, we can obtain much longer lifetime of sensors if each sensor is forced to take a sleep at some interval. In this paper, we introduce two models that extend the MLCP, incorporating battery recovery effects. The first model represents battery recovery effects in a deterministic way, while the second one uses a probabilistic model to imitate the effects. We then propose efficient algorithms that work for both models by extending approximation algorithms for the original MLCP. Numerical experiments show that the lifetime of our schedule is 10-40% longer than one without battery recovery effects.

In this paper, we propose a simple variant of the Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector algorithm for linearprogramming. Our variant employs a simple and a natural scaling-invariant search direction aiming at finite-termination, and, even if finite-termination fails, the same direction is occasionally used instead of the ordinary predictor step. Our algorithm is scaling-invariant, is easy to implement, and enjoys an objective-function-free polynomial-time complexity for a linear program with bounded feasible region.

In this paper, the optimal allocation of mega-solar is examined using data envelopment analysis (DEA). A great deal of attention is paid to photovoltaic power generation in Japan. Because such power generation can be freely used, it is attractive in Japan, which has few natural resources. The allocation of mega-solar, a large-scale photovoltaic power generation method, is an important problem for meeting the hope of efficient operation. We tried to apply DEA in Shizuoka Prefecture and to solve this issue. In this type of DEA application, some analyses often result in zero weighting factors in the parameters of some items to be studied, which implies that the corresponding items are not appropriately evaluated. The existing studies do not give special consideration to this situation. In this study, a new calculation scheme is proposed, the above-stated problems are successfully resolved, and the optimal candidate sites have been selected for the mega-solar allocation.

In this paper we introduce the concept of s-monotone index selection rule for linear programming problems. We show that several known anti-cycling pivot rules like the minimal index, Last-In-First-Out and the most-often-selected-variable pivot rules are s-monotone index selection rules. Furthermore, we show a possible way to define new s-monotone pivot rules. We prove that several known algorithms like the primal (dual) simplex, MBU-simplex algorithms and criss-cross algorithm with s-monotone pivot rules are finite methods. We implemented primal simplex and primal MBU-simplex algorithms, in MATLAB, using three s-monotone index selection rules, the minimal-index, the Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) and the Most-Often-Selected-Variable (MOSV) index selection rule. Numerical results demonstrate the viability of the above listed s-monotone index selection rules in the framework of pivot algorithms (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In recent years, dealing with uncertainty using interval probabilities, such as combination, marginalization, condition, Bayesian inferences, has received considerable attention. However, how to elicit interval probabilities from subjective judgment is still a fundamental problem in applications of interval probabilities. In this paper, interval-valued pairwise comparisons of events are used to characterize the judgment of a person about which one is more likely to occur between each pair of events. From the interval comparison matrix, we elicit the dual interval probabilities by linear programming problems. The ratios of the estimated interval probabilities are used to approximate the interval comparison values from the outside and the inside of them. In other words, the inclusion relations between the interval comparison values and the ratios of the obtained interval probabilities hold. A numerical example concerning a new product development is presented to illustrate how to estimate dual interval probabilities and use interval probabilities to make a decision.

Light trail architecture is attracting attention as a new optical wavelength-division multiplexing network architecture that can be built with currently available devices and can achieve bandwidth allocation with granularity finer than a wavelength. Because a light trail is a shared medium, we need a medium access control (MAC) protocol to prevent collisions. Although MAC protocols using token passing can prevent collisions, the bandwidths of links that are located upstream of the token holding node are kept idle. We first propose a dynamic light trail splitting method for increasing throughput of a light trail by using such idle bandwidths. Our method splits a trail into upstream and downstream trails at the token holding node, and independent data transmission on the two trails are permitted. As a result, we expect that the split trail architecture will achieve higher throughput than the original non-split trail architecture. The degree of performance improvement with the split trail architecture depends on how appropriately we determine the upstream and downstream token holding times of every transmission node. Thus, we formulate a problem in which we optimize the token holding times to accommodate requested traffic volume as a linear programming problem. We then derive the throughput of the split trail architecture by solving the problem using the NUOPT solver and investigate the degree of improvement over the original architecture. In addition, we evaluate the end-to-end delay of the split trail architecture by simulation. According to numerical examples, the split trail architecture achieves 1) almost the same throughput as the original one for the worst-case traffic pattern where every transmission node sends data to the terminating node of the trail only, 2) about 1.6 times higher throughput for a uniform traffic pattern where every node pair requests the same traffic volume and an extremely unbalanced traffic pattern where only a few node pairs request huge

In this paper, we use He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving linearprogramming ( LP) problems. By applying HPM for this class of problems, optimal solutions of a primal LP problem and its corresponding dual problem can be obtained at the same time. The efficiency of the method is shown by solving some examples.

Background: Flux coupling analysis (FCA) has become a useful tool in the constraint-based analysis of genome-scale metabolic networks. FCA allows detecting dependencies between reaction fluxes of metabolic networks at steady-state. On the one hand, this can help in the curation of reconstructed metabolic networks by verifying whether the coupling between reactions is in agreement with the experimental findings. On the other hand, FCA can aid in defining intervention strategies to knock out target reactions. Results: We present a new method F2C2 for FCA, which is orders of magnitude faster than previous approaches. As a consequence, FCA of genome-scale metabolic networks can now be performed in a routine manner. Conclusions: We propose F2C2 as a fast tool for the computation of flux coupling in genome-scale metabolic networks. F2C2 is freely available for non-commercial use at https://***/projects/f2c2/files/.

Overcurrent relays (OCR) are the major protection devices in a distribution system. To reduce the power outages, mal-operation of the backup relays should be avoided, and therefore. OCR time coordination in power distribution network is a major concern of protection engineer. The OCR time coordination in ring fed distribution networks is a highly constrained optimization problem. The purpose is to find an optimum relay setting to minimize the time of operation of relays and at the same time, to avoid the mal-operation of relays. This paper presents continuous genetic algorithm (CGA) technique for optimum coordination of OCR in a ring fed distribution system. Constraints are incorporated in the fitness function making use of the penalty method. The CGA is inherently faster than binary genetic algorithm (GA) because the chromosomes do not have to be decoded. Also the CGA gives an advantage of requiring less storage than binary GA.
