We subsequently established from the previous set the set of non-prime numbers (the set of numbers belonging to this set and which are not prime) denoted E<sub>np</sub>. We then extracted from the set of supposedly prime numbers the numbers which are not prime and the set of remaining number constitutes the set of prime numbers denoted E<sub>p</sub>. We have deduced from the previous set, the set of prime numbers between two natural numbers. We have explained during our demonstrations the origin of the twin prime numbers and the structure of the chain of prime numbers.展开更多

The ill-conditioning of the normal matrix can be improved by the regularized matrix. The relative floating ambiguity can be computed only by using the data of several epochs. Combined with the LAMBDA method, the new approach can correctly and quickly fix the integer ambiguity and the success rate is 100% in experiments. Through using measured data sets from four mediumlong baselines, the new method can obtain exact ambiguities only by the Ll-frequency data of three epochs. Compared with the existing methods, the improved method can solve the ambiguities of the medium-long baseline GPS network RTK only using L1-frequency GPS data.展开更多

When the integer overflow refers to the size of the buffer allocated dynamically, this kind of integer overflow is most likely to trigger buffer overflow. Based on this discovery, through lightly static program analysis, the solution traces the key variables referring to the size of a buffer allocated dynamically and it maintains the upper bound and lower bound of these variables. After the constraint information of these traced variables is inserted into the original program, this method tests the program with test cases through path relaxation, which means that it not only reports the errors revealed by the current runtime value of traced variables contained in the test case, but it also examines the errors possibly occurring under the same execution path with all the possible values of the traced variables. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated in a case study. Compared with the traditional buffer overflow detection methods, this method reduces the burden of detection and improves efficiency.展开更多

The homogeneity of polynomials provides several simplifications: reduction of system of equations and elimination of necessity to evaluate polynomials in points with larger coordinates. It is demonstrated that a two-stage implementation of the proposed and Toom-Cook algorithms asymptotically require twice as many standard multiplications than their direct implementation. A multistage implementation of these algorithms is also less efficient than their direct implementation. Although the proposed algorithms as well as the corresponding Toom-Cook algorithms require numerous algebraic additions, the Generalized Horner rule for evaluation of homogeneous polynomials, provided in the paper, decrease this number twice.展开更多

Virtual network embedding(VNE) is a key issue in network virtualization. VNE is NP-hard and former VNE algorithms are mostly heuristic in the literature.VNE exact algorithms have been developed in recent years. However, the constraints of exact VNE are only node capacity and link bandwidth.Based on these, this paper presents an exact VNE algorithm, ILP-LC, which is based on Integer Linear Programming(ILP), for embedding virtual network request with location constraints. This novel algorithm is aiming at mapping virtual network request(VNR) successfully as many as possible and consuming less substrate resources.The topology of each VNR is randomly generated by Waxman model. Simulation results show that the proposed ILP-LC algorithm outperforms the typical heuristic algorithms in terms of the VNR acceptance ratio, at least 15%.展开更多

Recently, scheduling problems with deteriorating jobs have attracted increasing attentions from researchers. In many practical situations,it is found that some jobs fail to be processed prior to the pre-specified thresholds,and they often consume extra deteriorating time for successful accomplishment. Their processing times can be characterized by a step-wise function. Such kinds of jobs are called step-deteriorating jobs. In this paper,parallel machine scheduling problem with stepdeteriorating jobs( PMSD) is considered. Due to its intractability,four different mixed integer programming( MIP) models are formulated for solving the problem under consideration. The study aims to investigate the performance of these models and find promising optimization formulation to solve the largest possible problem instances. The proposed four models are solved by commercial software CPLEX. Moreover,the near-optimal solutions can be obtained by black-box local-search solver LocalS olver with the fourth one. The computational results show that the efficiencies of different MIP models depend on the distribution intervals of deteriorating thresholds, and the performance of LocalS olver is clearly better than that of CPLEX in terms of the quality of the solutions and the computational time.展开更多
