According to the wear detection history for the steam generator tubes in the nuclear power plant, the outer tubes inside the steam generator have more problems on the flow-induced vibration than inner tubes. Many researchers and engineers have used a specified added mass coefficient for a given tube array during the design stage of the steam generator even though the coefficient is not constant for entire tube in cylindrical shell. The aim of this study is to find out the distribution of added mass coefficients for each tube along the radial location. When numbers of tubes inside a cylindrical shell are increased, values of added mass coefficients are also increased. Added mass coefficients at outer tubes are less than those of inner tubes and they are decreased with increasing the gap between the outermost tube and the cylindrical shell. It also turns out when the gap between the outermost tube and the cylindrical shell approaches infinite value, the added mass coefficient converges to an asymptotic value of given tube array in a free fluid field.

This paper presents a portfolio model for a long-term power generation mix problem. The proposed portfolio model evaluates generation mix by considering the tradeoffs between the expected cost for power generation and its variability. Unlike conventional portfolio models measuring variance, we introduce Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in designing the variability with aims to considering events that are enormously expensive but are rare such as nuclear power plant accidents. Further, we consider uncertainties associated with future electricity demand, fuel prices and their correlations, and capital costs for power plant investments. To obtain an objective generation by each energy source, we employ the sample average approximation method that approximates the stochastic objective function by taking the average of large sample values so that provides asymptotic convergence of optimal solutions. In addition, the method includes Monte Carlo simulation techniques in generating random samples from multivariate distributions. Applications of the proposed model and method are demonstrated through a case study of an electricity industry with nuclear, coal, oil (OCGT), and LNG (CCGT) in South Korea.

For a positive integer k and an arbitrary integer h, the classical Dedekind sums s(h,k) is defined by $$S(h,\;k)=\sum\limits_{j=1}^k\(\(\frac{j}{k}\)\)\(\(\frac{hj}{k}\)\),$$ where $$((x))=\{{x-[x]-\frac{1}{2},\;if\;x\;is\;not\;an\;integer; \atop \;0,\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;if\;x\;is\;an\;integer.}\$$ J. B. Conrey et al proved that $$\sum\limits_{{h=1}\atop {(h,k)=1}}^k\;s^{2m}(h,\;k)=fm(k)\;\(\frac{k}{12}\)^{2m}+O\(\(k^{\frac{9}{5}}+k^{{2m-1}+\frac{1}{m+1}}\)\;\log^3k\).$$ For $m\;{\geq}\;2$, C. Jia reduced the error terms to $O(k^{2m-1})$. While for m = 1, W. Zhang showed $$\sum\limits_{{h=1}\atop {(h,k)=1}}^k\;s^2(h,\;k)=\frac{5}{144}k{\phi}(k)\prod_{p^{\alpha}{\parallel}k}\[\frac{\(1+\frac{1}{p}\)^2-\frac{1}{p^{3\alpha+1}}}{1+\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{p^2}}\]\;+\;O\(k\;{\exp}\;\(\frac{4{\log}k}{\log\log{k}}\)\).$$. In this paper we give some formulae on the mean value of the Dedekind sums and and Hardy sums, and generalize the above results.

Runge-Kutta-Nystr$\"{o}$m (RKN) methods provide a popular way to solve the initial value problem (IVP) for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Users of software are typically asked to specify a tolerance ${\delta}$, that indicates in somewhat vague sense, the level of accuracy required. It is clearly important to understand the precise effect of changing ${\delta}$, and to derive the strongest possible results about the behaviour of the global error that will not have regular behaviour unless an appropriate stepsize selection formula and standard error control policy are used. Faced with this situation sufficient conditions on an algorithm that guarantee such behaviour for the global error to be asympotatically linear in ${\delta}$ as ${\delta}{\rightarrow}0$, that were first derived by Stetter. Here we extend the analysis to cover a certain class of ODEs with low-order derivative discontinuities, and the class of ODEs with constant delays. We show that standard error control techniques will be successful if discontinuities are handled correctly and delay terms are calculated with sufficient accurate interpolants. It is perhaps surprising that several delay ODE algorithms that have been proposed do not use sufficiently accurate interpolants to guarantee asymptotic proportionality. Our theoretical results are illustrated numerically.

An asymptotic solution of electro-magnetic waves diffracted by a dielectric wedge of the angle larger than $180^{\circ}$ is obtained in case of the incidence of a E-polarized plane wave. Based on the dual integral equation in the spectral domain, physical optics approximation is supplemented by correction currents distributed along the interfaces. Those currents are expanded in a series of Bessel functions, known as Neumann's expansion of which fractional order is chosen to satisfy the static edge condition as the limiting value of dynamic case. Numerical results of edge diffraction patterns and field patterns are presented for some typical cases.

In analyzing bivariate date the sample correlation coefficient is often used, and it is quite sensitive to one or few isolated cases. In this article we derive a formula for the effect of $textsc{k}$ observations on the samples correlation coefficient by the deletion method. To give a reference value for the isolated cases the asymptotic distribution fo the formula is derived. Also, we give some interpretations on several types of isolated cases and an example based on a real data set.

Yates' continuity correction of the chi-squared test for testing the homogeneity of two binomial proportions in $2{\times}2$ contingency tables is developed to lower the value of the test statistic slightly. The effect of continuity correction is expected to decrease as the sample size increases. However, in extremely unbalanced $2{\times}2$ contingency tables, we find some cases where the effect of continuity correction is eccentric and is larger than expected. In such cases, we conclude that the chi-squared test with continuity correction should not be employed as a test statistic in both asymptotic tests and exact tests.

This paper presents accelerated degradation test plans considering adoption of tightened critical values. Under arandom coefficient degradation rate and log-linear acceleration models, the asymptotic variance of an estimatorfor a lifetime quantile at the use condition as the optimization criterion is derived where the degradation ratefollows a lognormal and Reciprocal Weibull distributions, respectively and then the low stress level andproportions ofunits allocated to each stress level are determined. We also show that the developed test plans canbe applied to the multiplicative model with measurement error.

In this paper, we investigate cooperative diversity in a spectrum sharing environment where secondary users utilize primary users' spectrum only if the interference power received at the primary users is maintained below a predetermined level. The outage probability of a selective decode-and-forward (DF) based cooperative diversity scheme in the secondary network is derived to analyze the effects of spectrum sharing on cooperative diversity. Our analytical and simulation results show that the outage probability is saturated at a certain level of transmit power of secondary users due to interference regulation, and, hence, cooperative diversity gains are lost. Through asymptotic analysis, we also identify the critical value of transmit SNR beyond which the outage probability is saturated.

In this paper, a predator-prey model with stage structure and distributed delay is investigated. Mathematical analyses of the model equation with regard to boundedness of solutions, nature of equilibria, permanence, extinction and stability are performed. By the comparison theorem, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are obtained for the global asymptotic stability of nonnegative equilibria of the model. Taking the product of the per-capita rate of predation and the rate of conversing prey into predator as the bifurcating parameter, we prove that there exists a threshold value beyond which the positive equilibrium bifurcates towards a periodic solution.
