Multi-documents summarization is an important research area of NLP. Most methods or techniques of multidocument summarization either consider the documents collection as single-topic or treat every sentence as single-topic only, but lack of a systematic analysis of the subtopic semantics hiding inside the documents. This paper presents a Subtopic-based Multi-documents Summarization (SubTMS) method. It adopts probabilistic topic model to discover the subtopic information inside every sentence and uses a suitable hierarchical subtopic structure to describe both the whole documents collection and all sentences in it. With the sentences represented as subtopic vectors, it assesses the semantic distances of sentences from the documents collection’s main subtopics and chooses sentences which have short distance as the final summary of the documents collection. In the experiments on DUC 2007 dataset, we have found that: when training a topic’s documents collection with some other topics’ documents collections as background knowledge, our approach can achieve fairly better ROUGE scores compared to other peer systems.

The non destructive testing system of the reinforcement corrosion is employed to observe the temperature on the concrete surface. This system is useful in case that the position of the corrosion region is investigated. However, the shape of the reinforcement corrosion can not be numerically measured, even if this system is applied. Therefore, we develop the numerical shape estimation system of the reinforcement corrosion in the concrete using the temperature on the concrete surface observed by the non destructive testing system. In addition, if the corrosion partially occurs on the reinforcement bar in the concrete, it is necessary to examine the shape of the reinforcement corrosion by using the 3D model. Therefore, the numerical shape estimation system of the reinforcement corrosion is developed for the 3D model, and the results of the numerical experiment are shown in this paper.

In this paper, we develop an option valuation model in the context of a discrete-time multivariate Markov chain model using the Esscher transform. The multivariate Markov chain provides a flexible way to incorporate the dependency of the underlying asset price processes and price multi-state options written on several dependent underlying assets. In our model, the price of an individual asset can take finitely many values. The market described by our model is incomplete in general, hence there are more than one equivalent martingale pricing measures. We adopt conditional Esscher transform to determine an equivalent martingale measure for option valuation. We also document consequences for option prices of the dependency of the underlying asset prices described by the multivariate Markov chain model.

A new method for structural static reanalysis of topological modifications with Added Degrees of Freedom is presented. The proposed procedure is easy to implement and suit for the case of modifications with the number of DOFs is increased. According to the analysis result of original system, the suitable preconditioner is selected and the response of modified structure is gained by Lanczos algorithm. Both the present method and the Lanczos algorithm without preconditioning are applied to numerical example, respectively. The Convergence of the two methods are compared. The computational cost is significantly reduced by the proposed method. The numerical results show the exactitude and effectiveness of the reanalysis algorithm.

Conjugate gradient methods are widely used for large scale unconstrained optimization. A new class of conjugate gradient trust region method is proposed, in which trust egion technique is used for guaranteeing the global convergence of the algorithm, and more utilizable information on conjugate gradient vectors is used for accelerating convergence of the algorithm. The global convergence, super linear convergence and quadratic convergence properties of the algorithm are proved under favorable conditions, respectively. Numerical experiments show that the new algorithm is robust and effective.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for unconstrained optimization that employs both adaptive trust region techniques with line searchs. Unlike traditional adaptive trust region methods, our algorithm does not resolve the sub problem if the trial step isn’t accepted, but instead performs the Wolfe line search at each iteration. Under mild conditions, the global convergence is proved and the super linear convergence of the new algorithm is shown without the condition that the Hessian of the objective function at the solution be positive definite. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the performance of the new method is very efficient.

Sequential systems of linear equations methods(SSLE) are proposed mainly to solve the inconsistency and computation problems existed in the classical SQP method. In this paper, a new algorithm for inequality constrained optimization problems is presented. The attractive feature of the new algorithm is that only one system of linear equations is required to obtain the revised feasible descent direction. In order to void the Maratos effect, combined the generalized projection technique, a height-order correction direction is computed by an explicit formula, and it plays a important role in avoiding the strict complementarity. Furthermore, its global and superlinear convergence rate are obtained under some suitable conditions.
