A Tutorial Exposition of Various Methods for Analyzing Capacitated Networks

In order to assess the performance indexes of some practical systems having fixed channel capacities, such as telecommunication networks, power transmission systems or commodity pipeline systems, we propose various types of techniques for analyzing a capacitated network. These include Karnaugh maps, capacity-preserving network reduction rules associated with delta-star transformations, and a generalization of the max-flow min-cut theorem. All methods rely on recognizing the network capacity function as a random pseudo-Boolean function of link successes; a fact that allows the expected value of this function to be easily obtainable from its sum-of-products expression. This network capacity has certain advantages for representation of nonbinary discrete random functions, mostly employed in the analysis of flow networks. Five tutorial examples demonstrate the afore-mentioned methods and illustrate their computational advantages over the exhaustive state enumeration method.

In the present work, the equations of motion of the solar sail are derived in the restricted three–body system. The dimensionless coordinates are used to obtain the solution of the problem. The Laplace transformations are used to solve these systems of equations to obtain the components of the solar sail acceleration. The motion about L2, L4 and its stability are studied under obalteness effects. The results obtained are in good agreement with previous results in this field. It is remarked that this model has special importance in space-dynamics to enabling spacecraft to do some maneuvers depends on the solar sail acceleration.
