A parallel algorithm of ICSYM for complex symmetric linear systems in quantum chemistry
Computational effort is a common issue for solving large-scale complex symmetric linear systems, particularly in quantum chemistry applications. In order to alleviate this problem, we propose a parallel algorithm of improved conjugate gradient-type iterative (CSYM). Using three-term recurrence relation and orthogonal properties of residual vectors to replace the tridiagonalization process of classical CSYM, which allows to decrease the degree of the reduce-operator from two to one communication at each iteration and to reduce the amount of vector updates and vector multiplications. Several numerical examples are implemented to show that high performance of proposed improved version is obtained both in convergent rate and in parallel efficiency

A Parallel Preconditioned Modified Conjugate Gradient Method for Large Sylvester Matrix Equation
Computational effort of solving large-scale Sylvester equations AX+XB+F=O is frequently hindered in dealing with many complex control problems. In this work, a parallel preconditioned algorithm for solving it is proposed based on combination of a parameter iterative preconditioned method and modified form of conjugate gradient (MCG) method. Furthermore, Schur’s inequality and modified conjugate gradient method are employed to overcome the involved difficulties such as determination of parameter and calculation of inverse matrix. Several numerical results finally show that high performance of proposed parallel algorithm is obtained both in convergent rate and in parallel efficiency
A Parallel Two-Stage Iteration Method for Solving Continuous Sylvester Equations
In this paper we propose a parallel two-stage iteration algorithm for solving large-scale continuous Sylvester equations. By splitting the coefficient matrices, the original linear system is transformed into a symmetric linear system which is then solved by using the SYMMLQ algorithm. In order to improve the relative parallel efficiency, an adjusting strategy is explored during the iteration calculation of the SYMMLQ algorithm to decrease the degree of the reduce-operator from two to one communications at each step. Moreover, the convergence of the iteration scheme is discussed, and finally numerical results are reported showing that the proposed method is an efficient and robust algorithm for this class of continuous Sylvester equations on a parallel machine
Study on Comprehensive Risk Assessment of Marine Environment Safety Based on Public Safety Triangle Theory
With the continuous improvement of marine strategic status, the degree of emphasis on marine environmental security incidents has increased. In order to effectively prevent and manage marine environmental events, we need to work through risk assessments to prevent the occurrence of events or reduce the impact of events. Based on the theory of public safety triangle, this paper studies and analyzes the comprehensive risk assessment of marine environmental safety. Based on the historical disaster situation investigation and the existing disaster risk assessment research results, a comprehensive risk assessment framework was established. According to the development process of the marine environmental safety incident and the influence of the incident, the comprehensive risk evaluation index system is constructed from three aspects: event risk, disaster tolerance and emergency management. According to the expert experience and judgment matrix, considering the acceptable level of risk, the risk assessment grading standard is established, which provides theoretical support for the comprehensive risk assessment of marine environmental safety
Study on Deformation Characteristics of Low-Highway Subgrade under Traffic Load
Highway subgrade bears millions of traffic loads over the years, and its strength, stiffness, and long-term stability gradually decline. In this paper, dynamic triaxial tests were carried out to study the time evolution and spatial distribution of strain and pore pressure of highway-subgrade soil under the action of traffic load. The influence of traffic load on subgrade deformation was analyzed. Furthermore, a numerical-calculation model of the subgrade was established. The deformation characteristics of subgrade under driving load were analyzed. The main conclusions can be drawn as follows: (1) With the increase in loading times, the cumulative strain and pore pressure can be roughly divided into three stages: rapid-growth stage, slow-growth stage, and equilibrium stage. (2) The influence of traffic load on the cumulative strain and pore-water pressure of subgrade soil decreases rapidly with the increase in depth. (3) The amplitude of traffic load has a tremendous influence on the strain and pore pressure of subgrade soil, especially for shallow subgrade. (4) As the distance from the subgrade surface increases, the maximum deformation appears at the edge of the subgrade
