置信分布的贝塔分布近似及其在可靠性统计中的应用

在复杂系统可靠性综合评估方法研究中,利用β分布来近似区间[0,1]上的各种概率分布是一种常用的工程方法,并被许多系统可靠性综合评估方法所采用。工程中常用的β分布近似方法有二阶矩法和点估计下限法。为了减少近似误差,本文在文献[1]的基础上,对文献[1]中提出的β分布近似的两点法进行了深入研究,证明了两点法解的存在性和唯一性,并在这一结果的基础上设计出有效的算法。通过模拟计算可以看出,两点法与目前普遍使用的二阶矩法和点估计下限法相比,近似的精确性明显提高,尤其在小子样情形下效果更为显著。     

Reachable set estimation for spacecraft relative motion based on bang-bang principle

For spacecraft formation flight, the information of relative motion reachable set is very important, which can be used to predict the operating boundary of adjacent spacecraft and thus to ensure the safety of spacecraft operation. In this paper, we aim at developing a numerical method to approximate the reachable set for spacecraft relative motion. In particular, we focus on the quality of the approximation and the computational cost. Based on the bang-bang control principle, a polyhedral approximation algorithm is proposed to compute the reachable set of a relative motion spacecraft system. An inner approximation and an outer approximation of the reachable set for the system can be obtained. We prove that the approximation quality measured in Hausdorff distance can be guaranteed. The method is easy to implement and has low computational cost. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated by experimental simulation.     

Stark broadening parameters of the singly ionized sulfur: S II

Stark broadening parameters are useful in solving various problems e.g., in astrophysics, opacity calculations, design of lasers, laser-produced plasma and for the evaluation of the physical conditions in stellar atmospheres. Our objectives in this research work are to obtain, for electron collisions, new atomic data for Stark broadening of astrophysically important S II lines using semi-classical perturbation (SCP) and modified semi-empirical (MSE) theory with the needed energy levels and oscillator strengths from NIST database. After calculating the Stark broadening data, we compared them with experimental and theoretical data.
