Application of RQMC for CDO Pricing with Stochastic Correlations under Nonhomogeneous Assumptions by Shuanghong Qu, Lingxian Meng, Hua Li

“…In consideration of that the correlation between any two assets of the asset pool is always stochastic in the actual market and that collateralized debt obligation (CDO) pricing models under nonhomogeneous assumptions have no semianalytic solutions, we designed a numerical algorithm based on randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) simulation method for CDO pricing with stochastic correlations under nonhomogeneous assumptions and took Gaussian factor copula model as an example to conduct experiments. …”

Research on elite hierarchical task offloading strategy based on reinforcement learning in edge-cloud collaboration scenario by Juan FANG, Zhiyuan YE, Mengyuan ZHANG, Jiamei SHI, Ziyi TENG

“…With the development of 5G and the enrichment of application functions, applications have put forward higher requirements on the computing capabilities of terminal devices.In order to improve the computing capabilities of terminal devices on applications and reduce the processing time of tasks, it is aimed at mobile edge computing environments, a task offloading method for edge-cloud collaboration was proposed，and an elite hierarchical evolutionary algorithm combined with reinforcement learning (RL-EHEA) was designed to perform offloading decisions, so that multiple tasks with dependencies and deadlines compete for computing resources.The simulation experiment results show that, compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and elite genetic algorithm (EGA), RL-EHEA can shorten task processing time and obtain better resource allocation strategy.…”

Bruxelles, une « ville inclusive », mais pour qui ? by Alexandre Donnen

“…However, the implementation of the “inclusive city” produces hierarchies between minorized groups, depending on who is designated as a value producer. Thus, the article underlines how the implementation of the “inclusive city” builds “winning” and “losing” communities, inscribed in class, gender and race relations.…”

Efficient signcryption scheme based on Cocks’ identity cryptosystem by Changgen PENG, Xiaoyu ZHANG, Hongfa DING, Shanhui YANG

“…Most of the existing identity-based signcryption schemes are based on bilinear or multilinear pairing operations construction.To solve the problem of low efficiency caused by complex pair operation, a new efficient signcryption scheme based on the identity cryptosystem of Cocks was proposed.Firstly, the security model of the proposed scheme was formalized, and the definition of confidentiality and unforgeability was given.Secondly, the quadratic residue problem was used to realize the concrete construction of the proposed scheme, and the signature algorithm was designed in a logical step by combining Jacobi symbol operation.Finally, the security proofed that the scheme satisfied the confidentiality and unforgeability was given under the random prediction model.The efficiency analysis shows that compared with the existing identity-based signcryption scheme, the proposed scheme greatly improves the computing efficiency and has good characteristics of identity-based cryptosystem.…”

Intelligent transmit power control algorithm for the multi-user interference of wireless network by Xianchao ZHANG, Yao ZHAO, Haijun YE, Rui FAN

“…To deal with the inter-user interference problem in wireless networks, an intelligent transmit power control scheme was proposed to manage the inter-user interference and guarantee multiple users' quality of service.Firstly, considering the complex dynamic wireless channel environment, a transmit power control model that aims to maximize the weighted sum-rate of the wireless communication system was established.Then, an intelligent power control algorithm based on the actor-critic framework in deep reinforcement learning was designed to shorten the power control decision time.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm converges quickly, and when there are 10 pairs transceivers, the computation time consumed by the intelligent power control method is only a quarter of the time consumed by the traditional optimal algorithm.…”

Improved large data spectral clustering algorithm based on sampling subspace constraint by Ru NIE

“…On the basis of analyzing the equivalent function of the objective function of classical spectral clustering algorithm and the weighted kernel k-means objective function,an improved large-scale data spectrum clustring algorithm based on sampling subspace constraint was designed,the weighted kernel k-means iterative optimization was used to avoid the large resource consumption of Laplacian matrix feature decomposition,and by using data sampling and constraining the cluster center to the subspace generated by the sampling points,the use of all kernel matrices was avoided,thereby reducing the time-space complexity of classical algorithms.Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the improved algorithm can greatly improve the clustering efficiency on the basis of maintaining similar clustering accuracy with the classic algorithm and verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.…”
