MCTC algorithm employs a one-hop Maximum Energy & Minimum Distance (MEMD) clustering algorithm to decide clustering status. Each cluster exchanges information between its own Cluster Members (CMs) locally and then deliveries information to the Cluster Head (CH). Moreover, CHs exchange information between CH and CH and afterwards transmits aggregated in- formation to the base station finally. The intra-cluster topology control scheme uses MST to decide CMs' transmission radius, similarly, the inter-cluster topology control scheme applies MST to decide CHs' transmission radius. Since the intra-cluster topology control is a full distributed approach and the inter-cluster topology control is a pure centralized approach performed by the base station, therefore, MCTC algorithm belongs to one kind of hybrid clustering topology control algorithms and can obtain scalability topology and strong connectivity guarantees simultaneously. As a result, the network topology will be reduced by MCTC algorithm so that network energy efficiency will be improved. The simulation results verify that MCTC outperforms traditional topology control schemes such as LMST, DRNG and MEMD at the aspects of average node's degree, average node's power radius and network lifetime, respectively.展开更多

A filtering algorithm based on minimum spanning tree （MST） is proposed. Daily data of the 30 stocks of the Hang Seng Index （HSI） and Dow Jones Index （DJI） from 2004 to 2009 are selected as the base dataset. The proposed algorithm is compared with the Markowitz method in terms of risk, reliability, and effective size of the portfolio. Results show that （1） although the predicted risk of portfolio built with the MST is slightly higher than that of Markowitz, the realized risk of MST filtering algorithm is much smaller; and （2） the reliability and the effective size of filtering algorithm based on MST is apparently better than that of the Markowitz portfolio. Therefore, conclusion is that filtering algorithm based on MST improves the mean-variance model of Markowitz.展开更多
