A Hybrid Algorithm for Processor Scheduling Using Game Theory Variants
Abstract: This study proposes a novel hybrid algorithm for processor scheduling in modern operating systems, integrating the strengths of traditional scheduling methods with game theory variants. Traditional schedulers often struggle to adapt to dynamic workload changes, leading to suboptimal performance. Our hybrid approach addresses this by treating processes as "players" in a game, where the "payoff" is CPU time. A base scheduler (e.g., Weighted Fair Queuing, Earliest Deadline First) provides a …

Representation-Theoretic Symmetry Reduction and Fuzzy-Grey Optimization of Modular Vibration Systems
Abstract: This paper presents a representation-theoretic framework for symmetry-aware vibration control in modular structural systems. Exploiting cyclic symmetry, the mass, damping, and stiffness operators are block-diagonalised into irreducible representations, reducing the full structural dynamics to a collection of lower-dimensional modal subsystems. This decomposition provides both computational efficiency and a rigorous mathematical description of symmetry-preserving dynamic behaviour. To account for imperfections arising in practical implementations, near-symmetry defects in stiffness and damping are …
