Distributed Flow Scheduling in an Unknown Environment
Flow scheduling tends to be one of the oldest and most stubborn problems in
networking. It becomes more crucial in the next generation network, due to fast
changing link states and tremendous cost to explore the global structure. In
such situation, distributed algorithms often dominate. In this paper, we design
a distributed virtual game to solve the flow scheduling problem and then
generalize it to situations of unknown environment, where online learning
schemes are utilized. In the virtual game, we use incentives to stimulate
selfish users to reach a Nash Equilibrium Point which is valid based on the
analysis of the `Price of Anarchy'. In the unknown-environment generalization,
our ultimate goal is the minimization of cost in the long run. In order to
achieve balance between exploration of routing cost and exploitation based on
limited information, we model this problem based on Multi-armed Bandit Scenario
and combined newly proposed DSEE with the virtual game design. Armed with these
powerful tools, we find a totally distributed algorithm to ensure the
logarithmic growing of regret with time, which is optimum in classic
Multi-armed Bandit Problem. Theoretical proof and simulation results both
affirm this claim. To our knowledge, this is the first research to combine
multi-armed bandit with distributed flow scheduling.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, conferenc
Dynamics of glass phases in the two-dimensional gauge glass model
Large-scale simulations have been performed on the current-driven
two-dimensional XY gauge glass model with resistively-shunted-junction
dynamics. It is observed that the linear resistivity at low temperatures tends
to zero, providing strong evidence of glass transition at finite temperature.
Dynamic scaling analysis demonstrates that perfect collapses of current-voltage
data can be achieved with the glass transition temperature , the
correlation length critical exponent , and the dynamic critical
exponent . A genuine continuous depinning transition is found at zero
temperature. For creeping at low temperatures, critical exponents are evaluated
and a non-Arrhenius creep motion is observed in the glass phase.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Solutions to the Jaynes-Cummings model without the rotating-wave approximation
By using extended bosonic coherent states, the solution to the
Jaynes-Cummings model without the rotating-wave approximation can be mapped to
that of a polynomial equation with a single variable. The solutions to this
polynomial equation can give all eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this model
with all values of the coupling strength and the detuning exactly, which can be
readily applied to recent circuit quantum electrodynamic systems operating in
the ultra-strong coupling regime.Comment: 6 pages,3 figure
Possible Way to Synthesize Superheavy Element Z=117
Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the production of
superheavy element Z=117 in possible projectile-target combinations is analyzed
systematically. The calculated results show that the production cross sections
are strongly dependent on the reaction systems. Optimal combinations,
corresponding excitation energies and evaporation channels are proposed in this
letter, such as the isotopes ^{248,249}Bk in ^{48}Ca induced reactions in 3n
evaporation channels and the reactions ^{45}Sc+^{246,248}Cm in 3n and 4n
channels, and the system ^{51}V+^{244}Pu in 3n channel.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Hyperon polarization in e^-p --> e^-HK with polarized electron beams
We apply the picture proposed in a recent Letter for transverse hyperon
polarization in unpolarized hadron-hadron collisions to the exclusive process
e^-p --> e^-HK such as e^-p-->e^-\Lambda K^+, e^-p --> e^-\Sigma^+ K^0, or
e^-p--> e^-\Sigma^0 K^+, or the similar process e^-p\to e^-n\pi^+ with
longitudinally polarized electron beams. We present the predictions for the
longitudinal polarizations of the hyperons or neutron in these reactions, which
can be used as further tests of the picture.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures. submitted to Phys. Rev.
The Calculation of the Perturbative Expansion of Wilson Loops on Lattice
We introduce an approach to expand gauge-invariant Wilson operators on
lattice. This approach is based on non-abelian Stokes theorem and overcomes
some shortage of some former methods. It is also suitable for expanding any
Wilson operators on lattice.Comment: 9 pages and 4 figure
