Ticket Fare Optimization for China’s High-Speed Railway Based on Passenger Choice Behavior by Jinzi Zheng, Jun Liu, David B. Clarke

“…Although China’s high-speed railway (HSR) is maturing after more than ten years of construction and development, the load factor and revenue of HSR could still be improved by optimizing the ticket fare structure. Different from the present unitary and changeless fare structure, this paper explores the application of multigrade fares to China’s HSR. …”

Rising and falling diphthongs in Romance languages: A study of the phonological string by Leonardo M. Savoia, Benedetta Baldi

“…We examine the nature of rising diphthongs and their distribution in relation to syllabic structure. Structural approaches, such as GP, admit only falling diphthongs, insofar as only these respect the governing relation within the nucleus or rhyme, which requires the head to be on the left. …”

Link-disjoint routing algorithm under multiple additive QoS constraints by XIONG Ke1, QIU Zheng-ding1, ZHANG Yu1, ZHANG Hong-ke3

“…The problem of finding link-disjoint paths under multiple additive QoS constraints was studied.Since the existing algorithms depended on network’s structure and could not guarantee to find feasible solutions for arbitrary net-works,a novel algorithm called multiple constrained link-disjoint path routing algorithm（MCLPRA） was proposed.MCLPRA was based on SAMCRA and didn’t rely on the network’s structure.By introducing the parameter to control its search depth,dividing the solution space into different classes and performing searching according to the classes respectively,MCLPRA was able to obtain the feasible solutions for arbitrary networks.Theoretic analysis shows that MCLPRA can get the feasible and optimal solutions when traditional schemes can not.Comprehensive simulations also show that MCLPRA has better performances than existing algorithms in terms of higher average successful rate of getting feasible solutions with shorter average total length of the obtained path pair.…”
