Balance of Datum Land Prices Among Cities Based on the City Gravitation Model and Stochastic Diffusion Equation

A balance of urban datum land prices is achieved to harmonize regional land prices and make the prices truly reflect different economic development levels and land prices among cities. The current piecewise linear interpolation balance method widely used has two drawbacks that always lead to an unsatisfactory balance among some cities. When the excess of land price in the central city to the surrounding zone reaches a certain degree, land price in the circumjacent city is not only consistent with the local land grade and land use level, but also influenced by the diffusion of land price in the central city. Thus, a new balanced scheme of datum land prices based on the city gravitation model and stochastic diffusion equation is brought forward. Finally, the new method is examined in the practice of datum land price balance in Hubei Province, China.

Solving the Euclidean Steiner Minimum Tree Using Cellular Stochastic Diffusion Search Algorithm

The Euclidean Steiner minimum tree problem is a classical NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem.Because of the intrinsic characteristic of the hard computability,this problem cannot be solved accurately by efficient algorithms up to now.Due to the extensive applications in real world,it is quite important to find some heuristics for it.The stochastic diffusion search algorithm is a newly population-based algorithm whose operating mechanism is quite different from ordinary intelligent algorithms,so this algorithm has its own advantage in solving some optimization problems.This paper has carefully studied the stochastic diffusion search algorithm and designed a cellular automata stochastic diffusion search algorithm for the Euclidean Steiner minimum tree problem which has low time complexity.Practical results show that the proposed algorithm can find approving results in short time even for the large scale size,while exact algorithms need to cost several hours.

A Specification Test of Stochastic Diffusion Models

In this paper, we propose a hypothesis testing approach to checking model mis-specification in continuous-time stochastic diffusion model. The key idea behind the development of our test statistic is rooted in the generalized information equality in the context of martingale estimating equations. We propose a bootstrap resampling method to implement numerically the proposed diagnostic procedure. Through intensive simulation studies, we show that our approach is well performed in the aspects of type I error control, power improvement as well as computational efficiency.

Meshfree Finite Volume Element Method for Constrained Optimal Control Problem Governed by Random Convection Diffusion Equations

In this paper,we investigate a stochastic meshfree finite volume element method for an optimal control problem governed by the convection diffusion equations with random coefficients.There are two contributions of this paper.Firstly,we establish a scheme to approximate the optimality system by using the finite volume element method in the physical space and the meshfree method in the probability space,which is competitive for high-dimensional random inputs.Secondly,the a priori error estimates are derived for the state,the co-state and the control variables.Some numerical tests are carried out to confirm the theoretical results and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

Applications of Dynamic-Equilibrium Continuous Markov Stochastic Processes to Elements of Survival Analysis

In this article, we summarize some results on invariant non-homogeneous and dynamic-equilibrium (DE) continuous Markov stochastic processes. Moreover, we discuss a few examples and consider a new application of DE processes to elements of survival analysis. These elements concern the stochastic quadratic-hazard-rate model, for which our work 1) generalizes the reading of its It? stochastic ordinary differential equation (ISODE) for the hazard-rate-driving independent (HRDI) variables, 2) specifies key properties of the hazard-rate function, and in particular, reveals that the baseline value of the HRDI variables is the expectation of the DE solution of the ISODE, 3) suggests practical settings for obtaining multi-dimensional probability densities necessary for consistent and systematic reconstruction of missing data by Gibbs sampling and 4) further develops the corresponding line of modeling. The resulting advantages are emphasized in connection with the framework of clinical trials of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where we propose the use of an endpoint reflecting the narrowing of airways. This endpoint is based on a fairly compact geometric model that quantifies the course of the obstruction, shows how it is associated with the hazard rate, and clarifies why it is life-threatening. The work also suggests a few directions for future research.

Hybridized Artificial Neural Network for Automated Software Test Oracle

Software testing is the methodology of analyzing the nature of software to test if it works as anticipated so as to boost its reliability and quality.These two characteristics are very critical in the software applications of present times.When testers want to perform scenario evaluations,test oracles are generally employed in the third phase.Upon test case execution and test outcome generation,it is essential to validate the results so as to establish the software behavior’s correctness.By choosing a feasible technique for the test case optimization and prioritization as along with an appropriate assessment of the application,leads to a reduction in the fault detection work with minimal loss of information and would also greatly reduce the cost for clearing up.A hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)with Stochastic Diffusion Search(PSO-SDS)based Neural Network,and a hybrid Harmony Search with Stochastic Diffusion Search(HS-SDS)based Neural Network has been proposed in this work.Further to evaluate the performance,it is compared with PSO-SDS based artificial Neural Network(PSO-SDS ANN)and Artificial Neural Network(ANN).The Misclassification of correction output(MCO)of HS-SDS Neural Network is 6.37 for 5 iterations and is well suited for automated testing.

Theory and application of stability for stochastic reaction diffusion systems

So far, the Lyapunov direct method is still the most effective technique in the study of stability for ordinary differential equations and stochastic differential equations. Due to the shortage of the corresponding It6 formula, this useful method has not been popularized in stochastic partial differential equations. The aim of this work is to try to extend the Lyapunov direct method to the It6 stochastic reaction diffusion systems and to establish the corresponding Lyapunov stability theory, including stability in probablity, asymptotic stability in probablity, and exponential stability in mean square. As the application of the obtained theorems, this paper addresses the stability of the Hopfield neural network and points out that the main results ob- tained by Holden Helge and Liao Xiaoxin et al. can be all regarded as the corollaries of the theorems presented in this paper.

Random Attractor for the Nonclassical Diffusion Equation with Fading Memory

In this paper, we consider the stochastic nonclassical diffusion equation with fading memory on a bounded domain. By decomposition of the solution operator, we give the necessary condition of asymptotic smoothness of the solution to the initial boundary value problem, and then we prove the existence of a random attractor in the space M1=D（A2^-1）×Lu^2（R＋（A2^-1））,where A = --A with Dirichlet boundary condition.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS FOR STOCHASTIC TIME-SPACE FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION EQUATION DRIVEN BY FRACTIONAL GAUSSIAN NOISE

In this paper,we consider the strong convergence of the time-space fractional diffusion equation driven by fractional Gaussian noise with Hurst index H∈(1/2,1).A sharp regularity estimate of the mild solution and the numerical scheme constructed by finite element method for integral fractional Laplacian and backward Euler convolution quadrature for Riemann-Liouville time fractional derivative are proposed.With the help of inverse Laplace transform and fractional Ritz projection,we obtain the accurate error estimates in time and space.Finally,our theoretical results are accompanied by numerical experiments.

A critical transition rule for broadening exponent of fluctuation and its effect on dissipation in chemical reaction-heat conduction coupling systems

A stochastic model of chemical reaction-heat conduction-diffusion for a one-dimensional gaseous system under Dirichlet or zero-fluxes boundary conditions is proposed in this paper. Based on this model,we extend the theory of the broadening exponent of critical fluctuations to cover the chemical reaction-heat conduction coupling systems as an asymptotic property of the corresponding Markovian master equation (ME),and establish a valid stochastic thermodynamics for such systems. As an illustration,the non-isothermal and inhomogeneous Schl-gl model is explicitly studied. Through an order analysis of the contributions from both the drift and diffusion to the evolution of the probability distribution in the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation(FPE) in the approach to bifurcation,we have identified the critical transition rule for the broadening exponent of the fluctuations due to the coupling between chemical reaction and heat conduction. It turns out that the dissipation induced by the critical fluctuations reaches a deterministic level,leading to a thermodynamic effect on the nonequilibrium physico-chemical processes.
