Quantum complexity of time evolution with chaotic Hamiltonians by Vijay Balasubramanian, Matthew DeCross, Arjun Kar, Onkar Parrikar

“…Using the Euler-Arnold formalism, we demonstrate that there is always a geodesic between the identity and the time evolution operator e−iHt whose length grows linearly with time. This geodesic is minimal until there is an obstruction to its minimality, after which it can fail to be a minimum either locally or globally. …”

Approximate Method to Evaluate Reliability of Complex Networks by Petru Caşcaval

“…This paper deals with the issue of reliability evaluation in complex networks, in which both link and node failures are considered, and proposes an approximate method based on the minimal paths between two specified nodes. The method requires an algorithm for transforming the set of minimal paths into a sum of disjoint products (SDP). …”

Resource allocation algorithm for downlink multiuser CoMP system by Yong-hong KUO, Ren-yong WAN, Jian CHEN, Jian WANG

“…For downlink multiuser coordinated multi-point transmission (MU-CoMP) system,a fast resource allocation algorithm was proposed to solve the margin adaptive (MA) problem.Firstly the algorithm estimated the number of sub-carriers for each user based on its average channel gain and minimal-rate requirement,and then an efficient algorithm was designed to complement subcarrier allocation.At last,fast bit-loading was achieved through pre-determining and remov-ing the inefficient spatial subchannels.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm decreases the total transmit power with both the minimal-rate and bit error rate requirements satisfied,and obtains near-optimal performance with less complexity,compared with the optimal algorithm.…”

Discrete particle swarm optimization based multi-objective service path constructing algorithm by Ding MA, Lei ZHUANG, Ju-long LAN

“…Aiming at previous research primarily focused on constructing service paths with a single objective,for exam-ple,latency minimization,cost minimization or load balance,which ignored the overall performance of constructed ser-vice paths,a multi-objective service path constructing algorithm based on discrete particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) was proposed.To promote the convergence rate and improve constructing performance,the criterions for selecting can-didate physical nodes and paths were explored,and a particle position initialization and update strategy (PIFC) was de-signed.Simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithms can improve the overall quality of service paths and increase the success rate and long-term average revenue.…”
