Recursive Algorithms for Stock Liquidation: A Stochastic Optimization Approach
Authors: G. Yin, R. H. Liu, Q. Zhang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

This work develops stochastic optimization algorithms for a class of stock liquidation problems. The stock liquidation rules are based on hybrid geometric Brownian motion models allowing regime changes that are modulated by a continuous-time finite-state Markov chain. The optimal selling policy is of threshold type and can be obtained by solving a set of two-point boundary value problems. The total number of equations to be solved is the same as the number of states of the underlying Markov chain. To reduce the computational burden, using a stochastic optimization approach, recursive algorithms are constructed to approximate the optimal threshold values. Convergence and rates of convergence of the algorithm are studied. Simulation examples are presented, and the computation results are compared with the analytic solutions. Finally, the algorithms are tested using real market data.

GYO reductions, canonical connections, tree and cyclic schemas and tree projections
Authors: Nathan Goodman, Oded Shmueli, Y. C. Tay
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

Database schemas may be partitioned into two sub-classes tree schemas and cyclic schemas. The analysis of tree vs cyclic schemas introduced the concepts of GYO reductions, canonical connections and tree projections. This paper investigates the intricate relationships among these concepts in the context of universal relation databases.
Smaller solutions for the firing squad
Authors: Amber Settle, Janos Simon
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper we improve the bounds on the complexity of solutions to the firing squad problem, also known as the firing synchronization problem. In the firing synchronization problem we consider a one-dimensional array of n identical finite automata. Initially all automata are in the same state except for one automaton designated as the initiator for the synchronization. Our results hold for the original problem, where the initiator may be located at either endpoint, and for the variant where any one of the automata may be the initiator, called the generalized problem. In both cases, the goal is to define the set of states and transition rules for the automata so that all machines enter a special fire state simultaneously and for the first time during the final round of the computation. In our work we improve the construction for the best known minimal-time solution to the generalized problem by reducing the number of states needed and give non-minimal-time solutions to the original and generalized problem that use fewer states than the corresponding minimal-time solutions.

Hopf bifurcation and stability analysis in a harvested one-predator--two-prey model
Authors: S. Kumar, S. K. Srivastava, P. Chingakham
Venue: Applied Mathematics and Computation (2002)

In this paper, Hopf bifurcation is demonstrated in an interacting one-predator-two-prey model with harvesting of the predator at a constant rate. Here harvest rate is used as a control parameter. It is found that periodic solutions arise from stable stationary states when the harvest rate exceeds a certain limit. The stability of these periodic solutions is investigated with the variation of this control parameter. The approach is analytic in nature and the normal form analysis of the model is performed.

On the Global Convergence of Derivative-Free Methods for Unconstrained Optimization
Authors: Stefano Lucidi, Marco Sciandrone
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

In this paper, starting from the study of the common elements that some globally convergent direct search methods share, a general convergence theory is established for unconstrained minimization methods employing only function values. The introduced convergence conditions are useful for developing and analyzing new derivative-free algorithms with guaranteed global convergence. As examples, we describe three new algorithms which combine pattern and line search approaches.

Information Society: A Retrospective View
Authors: Herbert S. Dordick, Georgette Wang
Venue:  (1993)

:We are told that the industrial age is declining and the information age is emerging. In this new age our lives will be cleaner, greener, more pleasant, more intellectual, and perhaps even less manic because we will value ideas rather than things. In the cusp of this new era are we better off today than we were yesterday? Why has information, information technology, and the information economy and society become so visible and assumed so much importance in our daily lives? To answer these and other questions, The Information Society examines 19 countries, which are categorized as high-, middle-, and low-income nations by their Gross Domestic Product per capita, to define "Informatization" along three primary dimensions: infrastructure, economic, and social. Dordick and Wang take a retrospective look at the information explosion of the past 20 years to see where we have been, what have been the consequences, and where we are now based on the forecasts and predictions made over the past two decades. This in-depth study will be of special interest to students and scholars in communication studies, technology/information systems, political science, sociology, and management and organization studies. The Information Society will also be of value to development planners and decision makers.

Local Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for the Stokes System
Authors: Bernardo Cockburn, Guido Kanschat, Dominik Schötzau, Christoph Schwab
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

In this paper, we introduce and analyze local discontinuous Galerkin methods for the Stokes system. For a class of shape regular meshes with hanging nodes we derive a priori estimates for the L2-norm of the errors in the velocities and the pressure. We show that optimal-order estimates are obtained when polynomials of degree k are used for each component of the velocity and polynomials of degree k-1 for the pressure, for any $k\ge1$. We also consider the case in which all the unknowns are approximated with polynomials of degree k and show that, although the orders of convergence remain the same, the method is more efficient. Numerical experiments verifying these facts are displayed.
Hamilton--Jacobi Equations on a Manifold and Applications to Grid Generation or Refinement
Authors: Ph. Hoch, M. Rascle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper, we consider Hamilton--Jacobi equations on a manifold, typically on the graph of some previously computed function z(x,y), and we show how the corresponding level set method allows us to generate and/or to refine a mesh in regions where this function z has large derivatives. Such as it is, the method needs to be strongly improved and accelerated, but the principle is awfully natural, and in principle the method is fully automatic. Similar ideas are also useful in image processing, in particular for the active contours method.
Vi iMproved
Authors: Steven Oualline
Venue:  (2001)

:Real Linux users don't use GUIs. No matter how popular, slick and sophisticated the interfaces become for Linux and UNIX, you'll always need to be able to navigate in a text editor. The vi editor is the original standard UNIX full screen editor. It's been around almost since UNIX began and it has changed very little. To get around the limitations of vi the people at Bram Moolenaar created the vim editor (the name stand for VI iMproved). It contains many more features than the old vi editor including: help, multiple windows, syntax highlighting, programmer support, and HTML support. All of the books published to date focus on vi alone not the expanded vim shipping with every major Linux distribution. In true New Riders' form, the vim reference will be a definitive, concise reference for the professional Linux user and developer. This tutorial takes a task oriented approach allowing you to learn only the commands that make your job easier.

Hierarchical approach to term suggestion device
Authors: Hideo Joho, Mark Sanderson, Micheline Beaulieu
Venue: Proceedings of the 25th annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval (2002)

Our demonstration shows the hierarchy system working on a locally run search engine. Hierarchies are dynamically generated from the retrieved documents, and visualised on the menus. When a user selects a term from the hierarchy, the documents linked to the term are listed, and the term is then added to the initial query to rerun a search. Through the demonstration we illustrate how hierarchical presentation of expansion terms is achieved, and how our approach supports users to articulate their information needs using the hierarchy.
