When a network is modeled as a graph,diameter is a measurement for maximum transmission delay. The k-diameter dk(G) of a graph G, which deals with k internally disjoint paths between pairs of vertices of G, is a extension of the diameter of G. It has widely studied in graph theory and computer science. The circulant graph is a group-theoretic model of a class of symmetric interconnection network. Let Cn(i, n / 2) be a circulant graph of order n whose spanning elements are i and n / 2, where n≥4 and n is even. In this paper, the diameter, 2-diameter and 3-diameter of the Cn(i, n / 2) are all obtained if gcd(n,i)=1, where the symbol gcd(n,i) denotes the maximum common divisor of n and i.展开更多

It raises well-control risks and production expenses. This research utilizes the H oilfield as an example, employs seismic features to analyze mud loss prediction, and produces a complete set of pre-drilling mud loss prediction solutions. Firstly, 16seismic attributes are calculated based on the post-stack seismic data, and the mud loss rate per unit footage is specified. The sample set is constructed by extracting each attribute from the seismic trace surrounding 15 typical wells, with a ratio of 8:2 between the training set and the test set. With the calibration results for mud loss rate per unit footage, the nonlinear mapping relationship between seismic attributes and mud loss rate per unit size is established using the mixed density network model.Then, the influence of the number of sub-Gausses and the uncertainty coefficient on the model's prediction is evaluated. Finally, the model is used in conjunction with downhole drilling conditions to assess the risk of mud loss in various layers and along the wellbore trajectory. The study demonstrates that the mean relative errors of the model for training data and test data are 6.9% and 7.5%, respectively, and that R2is 90% and 88%, respectively, for training data and test data. The accuracy and efficacy of mud loss prediction may be greatly enhanced by combining 16 seismic attributes with the mud loss rate per unit footage and applying machine learning methods. The mud loss prediction model based on the MDN model can not only predict the mud loss rate but also objectively evaluate the prediction based on the quality of the data and the model.展开更多

文摘The research progress of deep and ultra-deep drilling fluid technology systematically reviewed,the key problems existing are analyzed,and the future development direction is proposed.In view of the high temperature,high pressure and high stress,fracture development,wellbore instability,drilling fluid lost circulation and other problems faced in the process of deep and ultra-deep complex oil and gas drilling,scholars have developed deep and ultra-deep high-temperature and high-salt resistant water-based drilling fluid technology,high-temperature resistant oil-based/synthetic drilling fluid technology,drilling fluid technology for reservoir protection and drilling fluid lost circulation control technology.However,there are still some key problems such as insufficient resistance to high temperature,high pressure and high stress,wellbore instability and serious lost circulation.Therefore,the development direction of deep and ultra-deep drilling fluid technology in the future is proposed:(1)The technology of high-temperature and high-salt resistant water-based drilling fluid should focus on improving high temperature stability,improving rheological properties,strengthening filtration control and improving compatibility with formation.(2)The technology of oil-based/synthetic drilling fluid resistant to high temperature should further study in the aspects of easily degradable environmental protection additives with low toxicity such as high temperature stabilizer,rheological regulator and related supporting technologies.(3)The drilling fluid technology for reservoir protection should be devoted to the development of new high-performance additives and materials,and further improve the real-time monitoring technology by introducing advanced sensor networks and artificial intelligence algorithms.(4)The lost circulation control of drilling fluid should pay more attention to the integration and application of intelligent technology,the research and application of high-performance plugging materials,the exploration of diversified plugging techniques and methods,and the improvement of environmental protection and production safety awareness.

文摘In this paper, we propose the approach of employing circulant permutation matrices to construct quantum quasicyclic （QC） low-density parity-check （LDPC） codes. Using the proposed approach one may construct some new quantum codes with various lengths and rates of no cycles-length 4 in their Tanner graphs. In addition, these constructed codes have the advantages of simple implementation and low-complexity encoding. Finally, the decoding approach for the proposed quantum QC LDPC is investigated.
文摘The circulation contr ol tail boom is a new technology used as an anti-torque system for the no tail rotor helicopter. In order to study the effect of the different parameters on th e circulation control tail boom, two models with the different circulation contr ol tail booms are designed and constructed. The experiments are introduced in th is paper by measuring the pressure distribution on the models in wind tunnel and under main rotor, respectively. By analyzing and discussing the experimental re sults, the effects of the momentum coefficient, the slot′s geometry parameters and the freestream velocity on the aerodynamic forces of the circulation control tail boom have been expounded, and the reasonable explanations about the test r esult have been given in theory.

文摘Abraham Lempel et al made a connection between linear codes and systems of bilinear forms over finite fields. In this correspondence, a new simple proof of a theorem in [1] is presented; in addition, the encoding process and the decoding procedure of RS codes are simplified via circulant matrices. Finally, the results show that the correspondence between bilinear forms and linear codes is not unique.

文摘Toeplitz matrix-vector multiplication is widely used in various fields,including optimal control,systolic finite field multipliers,multidimensional convolution,etc.In this paper,we first present a non-asymptotic quantum algorithm for Toeplitz matrix-vector multiplication with time complexity O(κpolylogn),whereκand 2n are the condition number and the dimension of the circulant matrix extended from the Toeplitz matrix,respectively.For the case with an unknown generating function,we also give a corresponding non-asymptotic quantum version that eliminates the dependency on the L_(1)-normρof the displacement of the structured matrices.Due to the good use of the special properties of Toeplitz matrices,the proposed quantum algorithms are sufficiently accurate and efficient compared to the existing quantum algorithms under certain circumstances.
