On Incorporating Linear Constraints into H-Matrix Calculations

چکیده

Some years ago Kriese and Siewert [1] used an idea of Pahor [2], and Pahor and Larson [3], which can be seen to be closely related to the computational scheme suggested by Shure and Natelson [4], to incorporate the linear constraint into the calculation of the H matrix applicable to the scattering of polarized light. It was found [ 1 ] that for weakly absorbing media, co ~ 1, the developed equation for the A matrix converged by iteration much more quickly than the usual H equation, which as discussed by Lenoble [5] appeared, from a numerical point-of-view, not to converge at all. This same approach of developing an equation for a function simply related to the H matrix was also used in neutron-transport studies by Kriese et al. [6] whose L equation is very similar to the mentioned A equation. In a work devoted to the scalar version of the L equation [7], it was shown that the non-linear L equation had a unique solution that yielded the correct H function. The question of how to improve the calculation of the H matrix has recently been discussed by Mullikin [8]. In addition to the fact that the L equation has led to a more expedient method for computing H matrices, we note that Bowden and Zweifel [9] were able to use the L equation for one-speed theory to prove, from the functional analysis approach, the existence and uniqueness of the scalar H function, as defined by the non-linear H equation and one linear constraint, for multiplying media, c > 1. Thus, since to date only the singular integral equation approach [10] has been able to deal with factorizations of dispersion matrices for multiplying media, the utility of the L equation appears to be greater than one only of computational merit. Here we wish to discuss the general case for H matrices when there may be more than one linear constraint and to show that the developed L equation has a unique solution that yields the desired H matrix. We consider first that the dispersion matrix can be written as

Coordination of market decisions with other aspects of operations management such as production and inventory decisions has long been a meticulous research issue in supply chain management. Generally, changes to the original lot-sizing policy stimulated by market prices may impose remarkable deviation revenue throughout the supply and demand chain system. This paper examines how to set the chan...

Linear plus fractional multiobjective programming problem with homogeneous constraints using fuzzy approach

  We develop an algorithm for the solution of multiobjective linear plus fractional programming problem (MOL+FPP) when some of the constraints are homogeneous in nature. Using homogeneous constraints, first we construct a transformation matrix T which transforms the given problem into another MOL+FPP with fewer constraints. Then, a relationship between these two problems, ensuring that the solu...

Using an Efficient Penalty Method for Solving Linear Least Square Problem with Nonlinear Constraints

In this paper, we use a penalty method for solving the linear least squares problem with nonlinear constraints. In each iteration of penalty methods for solving the problem, the calculation of projected Hessian matrix is required. Given that the objective function is linear least squares, projected Hessian matrix of the penalty function consists of two parts that the exact amount of a part of i...

A retiming algorithm is presented which includes the effects of variable register, clock distribution, and interconnect delays. These delay components are incorporated into the retiming process by assigning register electrical characteristics (REC’s) to each edge in the graph representation of a synchronous circuit. A matrix, called the sequential adjacency matrix (SAM), is presented that conta...
