General splitting methods with linearization for the split feasibility problem

Abstract: In this article, we introduce a general splitting method with linearization to solve the split feasibility problem and propose a way of selecting the stepsizes such that the implementation of the method does not need any prior information about the operator norm. We present the constant and adaptive relaxation parameters, and the latter is “optimal” in theory. These ways of selecting stepsizes and relaxation parameters are also practised to the relaxed splitting method with linearization where the two closed convex sets are both level sets of convex functions. The weak convergence of two proposed methods is established under standard conditions and the linear convergence of the general splitting method with linearization is analyzed. The numerical examples are presented to illustrate the advantage of our methods by comparing with other methods.

Design by Analogy: Achieving More Patentable Ideas from One Creative Design

Abstract: A patent is a kind of technical document to protect intellectual property for individuals or enterprises. Patentable idea generation is a crucial step for patent application and analogy is confirmed to be an effective technique to inspire creative ideas. Analogy-based design usually starts from representation of an analogy source and is followed by the retrieval of appropriate analogs, mapping of design knowledge and adaptation of target solution. To diffuse one core idea into other new contexts and achieve more patentable ideas, this paper mainly centered on the first two stages of analogy-based design and proposed a patentable ideation framework. The analogical information of the source system, including source design problems and solution, was mined comprehensively through International Patent Classification analysis and represented in the form of function, behavior and structure. Three heuristics were suggested for searching the set of candidate target systems with a similar design problem, where the source design could be transferred. To systematize the process of source representation, analogs retrieval, idea transfer, and solution generation, an ideation model was put forward. Finally, the bladeless fan was selected as a source design to illustrate the application of this work. The design output shows that the representation and heuristics are beneficial, and this systematic ideation method can help the engineer or designer enhance creativity and discover more patentable opportunities.
