This paper proposes a mathematical framework for finding the optimal energy trading policy with battery energy storage (BES) under a dynamic pricing environment. We have previously shown that finding the arbitrage value of BES with known historical price data can be solved by iterative linear programming. The objective of the present paper is to show that, when the price information remains unknown, finding the optimal economic value of lifetime-constrained BES falls within the purview of stochastic shortest path problems, and the optimal policy presents the property of a threshold structure. To overcome the dimensionality difficulty, we propose a structure-based aggregation method, i.e., Layer and Group, to construct optimal trading policies. The elegance of this approach lies in its circumventing of the need for exhausted value iteration over the entire state space. Instead, the approach works in a hierarchical and parallel fashion, thus significantly speeding up the convergence to the optimality. Extensive experimental results show that this approach can dramatically reduce the computational complexity, thus contributing to the computationally tractable optimality without requiring any approximation. Numerical simulation also demonstrates the validity of the proposed framework, and various trading insights for practical BES systems have been formed.

Due to the presence of intermodulation products, a nonlinear system driven by a band pass signal will generate at its output a set of undesired signal bands. When detecting such signals using subsampling, one has to take into consideration these distortions in order to successfully down convert the signal of interest. Even though we are only interested in one band, the available spectrum configuration requires the use of multiband subsampling theory which leads to very tight constraint on the possible subsampling frequency ranges. In this paper a modified version of the multiband subsampling algorithm is presented. This proposed solution is more adapted to nonlinear systems and helps relax the constraints on sampling frequency.

Networking technologies have been widely applied in education nowadays. Consider a school building with multiple classrooms. Each classroom establishes a LAN using one router for teachers and students inside it. When several routers are close to each other, if they use the same channel, they can interfere with each other. In order to avoid interference, these routers can determine their ranges through an auction. In this paper, we present a mechanism for such wireless range auctions. Our mechanism is truthful in that, under our mechanism, each wireless router has incentives to reveal its true valuation function.

In this paper we conduct a tentative study on the requirements and the structure for a quantum computer at the software level. From the software point of view, we describe the methodology used to minimize the decoherence. We con- struct the quantum instruction set for the higher-level computation. We also study the criteria for designing the quantum programming languages.
