2012年美国高中生数学建模竞赛特等奖论文
题目：How Much Gas Should I Buy This Week?题目来源：2012年第十五届美国高中生数学建模竞赛（HiMCM）B题获奖等级：特等奖，并授予INFORMS奖论文作者：深圳中学2014届毕业生李依琛、王喆沛、林桂兴、李卓尔指导老师：深圳中学张文涛AbstractGasoline is the bleed that surges incessantly within the muscular ground of city; gasoline is the feast that lures the appetite of drivers. “To fill or not fill?” That is the question flustering thousands of car owners. This paper will guide you to predict the gasoline prices of the coming week with the currently available data with respect to swift changes of oil prices. Do you hold any interest in what pattern of filling up the gas tank can lead to a lower cost in total?By applying the Time series analysis method, this paper infers the price in the imminent week. Furthermore, we innovatively utilize the average prices of the continuous two weeks to predict the next two week’s average price; similarly, employ the four-week-long average prices to forecast the average price of four weeks later. By adopting the data obtained from 2011and the comparison in different aspects, we can obtain the gas price prediction model ：G t+1=0.0398+1.6002g t+−0.7842g t−1+0.1207g t−2+ 0.4147g t−0.5107g t−1+0.1703g t−2+ε .This predicted result of 2012 according to this model is fairly ideal. Based on the prediction model,We also establish the model for how to fill gasoline. With these models, we had calculated the lowest cost of filling up in 2012 when traveling 100 miles a week is 637.24 dollars with the help of MATLAB, while the lowest cost when traveling 200 miles a week is 1283.5 dollars. These two values are very close to the ideal value of cost on the basis of the historical figure, which are 635.24 dollars and 1253.5 dollars respectively. Also, we have come up with the scheme of gas fulfillment respectively. By analyzing the schemes of gas filling, we can discover that when you predict the future gasoline price going up, the best strategy is to fill the tank as soon as possible, in order to lower the gas fare. On the contrary, when the predicted price tends to decrease, it is wiser and more economic for people to postpone the filling, which encourages people to purchase a half tank of gasoline only if the tank is almost empty.For other different pattern for every week’s “mileage driven”, we calculate the changing point of strategies-changed is 133.33 miles.Eventually, we will apply the models -to the analysis of the New York City. The result of prediction is good enough to match the actual data approximately. However, the total gas cost of New York is a little higher than that of the average cost nationally, which might be related to the higher consumer price index in the city. Due to the limit of time, we are not able to investigate further the particular factors.Keywords: gasoline price Time series analysis forecast lowest cost MATLABAbstract ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Restatement --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------21.

As the most important limited energy, oil is much accounted of cars owners and dealer. We are required to make a gas-buying plan which relates to the price of gasoline, the volume of tank, the distance that consumer drives per week, the data from EIA and the influence of other events in order to help drivers to save money.We should use the data of 2011 to build up two models that discuss two situations: 100miles/week or 200miles/week and use the data of 2012 to test the models to prove the model is applicable. In the model, consumer only has three choices to purchase gas each week, including no gas, half a tank and full tank. At the end, we should not only build two models but also write a simple but educational report that can attract consumer to follow this model.1.Assumptiona)Assume the consumer always buy gasoline according to the rule of minimumcost.b)Ignore the difference of the gasoline weight.c)Ignore the oil wear on the way to gas stations.d)Assume the tank is empty at the beginning of the following models.e)Apply the past data of crude oil price to predict the future price ofgasoline.(The crude oil price can affect the gasoline price and we ignore thehysteresis effect on prices of crude oil towards prices of gasoline.)2.Definitions of Variables and Modelst stands for the sequence number of week in any time.(t stands for the current week. (t-1) stands for the last week. (t+1) stands for the next week.c t: Price of crude oil of the current week.g t: Price of gasoline of the t th week.P t: The volume of oil of the t th week.G t+1: Predicted price of gasoline of the (t+1)th week.α,β: The coefficient of the g t and c t in the model.d: The variable of decision of buying gasoline.(d=1/2 stands for buying a half tank gasoline)2.1 Model for the prediction of gasoline price in the subsequent weekWhether to buy half a tank oil or full tank oil depends on the short-term forecast about the gasoline prices. Time series analysis is a frequently-used method to expect the gasoline price trend. It can be expressed as:G t+1=α1g t+α2g t−1+α3g t−2+α4g t−3+…αn+1g t−n+ε ----Equation ①ε is a parameter that reflects the influence towards the trend of gasoline price in relation to several aspects such as weather data, economic data, world events and so on.Due to the prices of crude oil can influence the future prices of gasoline; we will adopt the past prices of crude oil into the model for gasoline price forecast.G t+1=(α1g t+α2g t−1+α3g t−2+α4g t−3+⋯αn+1g t−n)+(β1g t+β2g t−1+β3g t−2+β4g t−3+⋯βn+1g t−n)+ε----Equation ②We will use the 2011 data set to calculate the all coefficients and the best delay periods n.2.2 The Model of oil price next two weeks and four weeksWe mainly depend on the prediction of change of gasoline price in order to make decision that the consumer should buy half a tank or full tank gas. When consumer drives 100miles/week, he can drive whether 400miles most if he buys full tank gas or 200miles most if he buys half a tank gas. When consumer drives 200miles/week, full tank gas can be used two weeks most or half a tank can be used one week most. Thus, we should consider the gasoline price trend in four weeks in future.Equation ②can also be rewritten asG t+1=(α1g t+β1g t)+(α2g t−1+β2g t−1)+(α3g t−2+β3g t−2)+⋯+(αn+1g t−n+βn+1g t−n)+ε ----Equation ③If we define y t=α1g t+β1g t,y t−1=α2g t−1+β2g t−1, y t−2=α3g t−2+β3g t−2……, and so on.Equation ③can change toG t+1=y t+y t−1+y t−2+⋯+y t−n+ε ----Equation ④We use y(t−1,t)denote the average price from week (t-1) to week (t), which is.y(t−1,t)=y t−1+y t2Accordingly, the average price from week (t-3) to week (t) isy(t−3,t)=y t−3+y t−2+y t−1+y t.4Apply Time series analysis, we can get the average price from week (t+1) to week (t+2) by Equation ④,G(t+1,t+2)=y(t−1,t)+y(t−3,t−2)+y(t−5,t−4), ----Equation ⑤As well, the average price from week (t+1) to week (t+4) isG(t+1,t+4)=y(t−3,t)+y(t−7,t−4)+y(t−11,t−8). ----Equation ⑥2.3 Model for refuel decisionBy comparing the present gasoline price with the future price, we can decide whether to fill half or full tank.The process for decision can be shown through the following flow chart.Chart 1For the consumer, the best decision is to get gasoline with the lowest prices. Because a tank of gasoline can run 2 or 4 week, so we should choose a time point that the price is lowest by comparison of the gas prices at present, 2 weeks and 4 weeks later separately. The refuel decision also depends on how many free spaces in the tank because we can only choose half or full tank each time. If the free spaces are less than 1/2, we can refuel nothing even if we think the price is the lowest at that time.2.3.1 Decision Model for consumer who drives 100 miles per week.We assume the oil tank is empty at the beginning time(t=0). There are four cases for a consumer to choose a best refuel time when the tank is empty.i.g t>G t+4and g t>G t+2, which means the present gasoline price is higherthan that either two weeks or four weeks later. It is economic to fill halftank under such condition. ii. g t <Gt +4 and g t <G t +2, which means the present gasoline price is lower than that either two weeks or four weeks later. It is economic to fill fulltank under such condition. iii. Gt +4>g t >G t +2, which means the present gasoline price is higher than that two weeks later but lower than that four weeks later. It is economic to fillhalf tank under such condition. iv. Gt +4<g t <G t +2, which means the present gasoline price is higher than that four weeks later but lower than that two weeks later. It is economic to fillfull tank under such condition.If other time, we should consider both the gasoline price and the oil volume in the tank to pick up a best refuel time. In summary, the decision model for running 100 miles a week ist 2t 4t 2t 4t 2t 4t 2t 4t 11111411111ˆˆ(1)1((1)&max(,))24442011111ˆˆˆˆ1/2((1)&G G G (&))(0(1G G )&)4424411ˆˆˆ(1)0&(G 4G G (G &)t i t i t t t t i t i t t t t t t i t t d t or d t g d d t g or d t g d t g or ++++----+++-++<--<<--<>⎧⎪=<--<<<--<<<⎨⎪⎩--=><∑∑∑∑∑t 2G ˆ)t g +<----Equation ⑦d i is the decision variable, d i =1 means we fill full tank, d i =1/2 means we fill half tank. 11(1)4t i tdt ---∑represents the residual gasoline volume in the tank. The method of prices comparison was analyzed in the beginning part of 2.3.1.2.3.2 Decision Model for consumer who drives 200 miles per week.Because even full tank can run only two weeks, the consumer must refuel during every two weeks. There are two cases to decide whether to buy half or full tank when the tank is empty. This situation is much simpler than that of 100 miles a week. The process for decision can also be shown through the following flow chart.Chart 2The two cases for deciding buy half or full tank are: i. g t >Gt +1, which means the present gasoline price is higher than the next week. We will buy half tank because we can buy the cheaper gasoline inthe next week. ii. g t <Gt +1, which means the present gasoline price is lower than the next week. To buy full tank is economic under such situation.But we should consider both gasoline prices and free tank volume to decide our refueling plan.

Train and Test Model by the 2011 datasetChart 33.1 Determine all the parameters in Equation ② from the 2011 dataset.Using the weekly gas data from the website and the weekly crude price data from , we can determine the best delay periods n and calculate all the parameters in Equation ②. For there are two crude oil price dataset (Weekly Cushing OK WTI Spot Price FOB and Weekly Europe Brent SpotPrice FOB), we use the average value as the crude oil price without loss of generality. We tried n =3, 4 and 5 respectively with 2011 dataset and received comparison graph of predicted value and actual value, including corresponding coefficient.（A ） n =3(the hysteretic period is 3)Graph 1 The fitted price and real price of gasoline in 2011(n=3)We find that the nearby effect coefficient of the price of crude oil and gasoline.

However, a serious problem should be drawn to concerns: consumers determines how to fill the tank by using the trend of oil price. If the trend prediction is wrong (like predicting oil price will rise when it actually falls), consumers will lose. We use MATLAB software to calculate the amount of error time when we use the model of Equation ⑨to predict the price of gasoline in 2012. The graph below shows the result.It’s not difficult to find the prediction effect is the best when n is 3. Therefore, we determined to use Equation ⑨as the prediction model of oil price in 2012.G t+1=0.0398+1.6002g t+−0.7842g t−1+0.1207g t−2+ 0.4147g t−0.5107g t−1+0.1703g t−2+ε3.3 Calculating εSince political occurences, economic events and climatic changes can affect gasoline price, it is undeniable that a ε exists between predicted prices and real prices. We can use Equation ②to predict gasoline prices in 2011 and then compare them with real data. Through the difference between predicted data and real data, we can estimate the value of ε .The estimating process can be shown through the following flow chartChart 4We divide the international events into three types: extra serious event, major event and ordinary event according to the criteria of influence on gas prices. Then we evaluate the value: extra serious event is 3a, major event is 2a, and ordinary event is a. With inference to the comparison of the forecast price and real price in 2011, we find that large deviation of data exists at three time points: May 16,2011, Aug 08,2011 andOct 10,2011. After searching, we find that some important international events happened nearly at the three time points. We believe that these events which occurred by chance affect the international prices of gasoline so the predicted prices deviate from the actual prices. The table of events and the calculation of the value of a areTherefore, by generalizing several sets of particular data and events, we can estimate the value of a:a=26.84 ----Equation ⑩The calculating process is shown as the following graph.Since now we have obtained the approximate value of a, we can evaluate the future prices according to currently known gasoline prices and crude oil prices. To improve our model, we can look for factors resulting in some major turning point in the graph of gasoline prices. On the ground that the most influential factors on prices in 2012 are respectively graded, the difference between fact and prediction can be calculated.3.4 Test Decision Models of buying gasoline by the dataset of 2012First, we use Equation ⑨to calculate the gasoline price of next week and use Equation ⑤and Equation ⑥to calculate the gasoline price trend of next two to four weeks. On the basis above, we calculate the total cost, and thus receive schemes of buying gasoline of 100miles per week according to Equation ⑦and Equation ⑧. Using the same method, we can easily obtain the pattern when driving 200 miles per week. The result is presented below.We collect the important events which will affect the gasoline price in 2012 as well. Therefore, we calculate and adjust the predicted price of gasoline by Equation ⑩. We calculate the scheme of buying gasoline again. The result is below:3.4.1 100 miles per weekT2012 = 637.2400 （If the consumer drives 100 miles per week, the total cost inTable 53.4.2 200 miles per weekT2012 = 1283.5 （If the consumer drives 200 miles per week, the total cost in 2012 is 1283.5 USD）. The scheme calculated by software is below：Table 6According to the result of calculating the buying-gasoline scheme from the model, we can know: when the gasoline price goes up, we should fill up the tank first and fill up again immediately after using half of gasoline. It is economical to always keep the tank full and also to fill the tank in advance in order to spend least on gasoline fee. However, when gasoline price goes down, we have to use up gasoline first and then fill up the tank. In another words, we need to delay the time of filling the tank in order to pay for the lowest price. In retrospect to our model, it is very easy to discover that the situation is consistent with life experience. However, there is a difference. The result is based on the calculation from the model, while experience is just a kind of intuition.3.4.3 Second Test for the Decision of buying gasolineSince the data in 2012 is historical data now, we use artificial calculation to get the optimal value of buying gasoline. The minimum fee of driving 100 miles per week is 635.7440 USD. The result of calculating the model is 637.44 USD. The minimum fee of driving 200 miles per week is 1253.5 USD. The result of calculating the model is 1283.5 USD. The values we calculate is close to the result of the model we build. It means our model prediction effect is good. (we mention the decision people made every week and the gas price in the future is unknown. We can only predict. It’s normal to have deviation. The buying-gasoline fee which is based on predicted calculation must be higher than the minimum buying-gasoline fee which is calculated when all the gas price data are known.)We use MATLAB again to calculate the total buying-gasoline fee when n=4 and n=5. When n=4,the total fee of driving 100 miles per week is 639.4560 USD and the total fee of driving 200 miles per week is 1285 USD. When n=5, the total fee of driving 100 miles per week is 639.5840 USD and the total fee of driving 200 miles per week is 1285.9 USD. The total fee are all higher the fee when n=3. It means it is best for us to take the average prediction model of 3 phases.4. The upper bound will change the Decision of buying gasoline.Assume the consumer has a mileage driven of x1miles per week. Then, we can use 200to indicate the period of consumption, for half of a tank can supply 200-mile x1driving. Here are two situations:<1.5①200x1>1.5②200x1In situation①, the consumer is more likely to apply the decision of 200-mile consumer’s; otherwise, it is wiser to adopt the decision of 100-mile consumer’s. Therefore, x1is a critical value that changes the decision if200=1.5x1x1=133.3.Thus, the mileage driven of 133.3 miles per week changes the buying decision.Then, we consider the full-tank buyers likewise. The 100-mile consumer buys half a tank once in four weeks; the 200-mile consumer buys half a tank once in two weeks. The midpoint of buying period is 3 weeks.Assume the consumer has a mileage driven of x2miles per week. Then, we can to illustrate the buying period, since a full tank contains 400 gallons. There use 400x2are still two situations:<3③400x2>3④400x2In situation③, the consumer needs the decision of 200-mile consumer’s to prevent the gasoline from running out; in the latter situation, it is wiser to tend to the decision of 100-mile consumer’s. Therefore, x2is a critical value that changes the decision if400=3x2x2=133.3We can find that x2=x1=133.3.To wrap up, there exists an upper bound on “mileage driven”, that 133.3 miles per week is the value to switch the decision for buying weekly gasoline. The following picture simplifies the process.Chart 45. An analysis of New Y ork City5.1 The main factors that will affect the gasoline price in New York CityBased on the models above, we decide to estimate the price of gasoline according to the data collected and real circumstances in several cities. Specifically, we choose New York City as a representative one.New York City stands in the North East in the United States, with the largest population throughout the country as 8.2 million. The total area of New York City is around 1300 km2, with the land area as 785.6 km2(303.3 mi2). One of the largest trading centers in the world, New York City has a high level of resident’s consumption. As a result, the level of the price of gasoline in New York City is higher than the average regular oil price of the United States. The price level of gasoline and its fluctuation are the main factors of buying decision.Another reasonable factor we expect is the distribution of gas stations. According to the latest report, there are approximately 1670 gas stations in the city area (However, after the impact of hurricane Sandy, about 90 gas stations have been temporarily out of use because of the devastation of Sandy, and there is still around 1580 stations remaining). From the information above, we can calculate the density of gas stations thatD(gasoline station)= t e amount of gas stationstotal land area =1670 stations303.3 mi2=5.506 stations per mi2This is a respectively high value compared with several other cities the United States. It also indicates that the average distance between gas stations is relatively small. The fact that we can neglect the distance for the cars to get to the station highlights the role of the fluctuation of the price of gasoline in New York City.Also, there are approximately 1.8 million residents of New York City hold the driving license. Because the exact amount of cars in New York City is hard to determine, we choose to analyze the distribution of possible consumers. Thus, we can directly estimate the density of consumers in New York City in a similar way as that of gas stations:D(gasoline consumers)= t e amount of consumerstotal land area = 1.8 million consumers303.3 mi2=5817consumers per mi2Chart 5In addition, we expect that the fluctuation of the price of crude oil plays a critical role of the buying decision. The media in New York City is well developed, so it is convenient for citizens to look for the data of the instant price of crude oil, then to estimate the price of gasoline for the coming week if the result of our model conforms to the assumption. We will include all of these considerations in our modification of the model, which we will discuss in the next few steps.For the analysis of New York City, we apply two different models to estimate the price and help consumers make the decision.5.2 Test Models with New York dataAmong the cities in US, we pick up New York as an typical example. The gas price data is downloaded from the website () and is used in the model described in Section 2 and 3.The gas price curves between the observed data and prediction data are compared in next Figure.Figure 6The gas price between the observed data and predicted data of New York is very similar to Figure 3 in US case.Since there is little difference between the National case and New York case, the purchase strategy is same. Following the same procedure, we can compare the gas cost between the historical result and predicted result.For the case of 100 miles per week, the total cost of observed data from Feb to Oct of 2012 in New York is 636.26USD, while the total cost of predicted data in the same period is 638.78USD, which is very close. It proves that our prediction model is good. For the case of 200 miles per week, the total cost of observed data from Feb to Oct of 2012 in New York is 1271.2USD, while the total cost of predicted data in the same period is 1277.6USD, which is very close. It proves that our prediction model is good also.5.3 The analysis of resultBy comparing, though density of gas stations and density of consumers of New York is a little higher than other places but it can’t lower the total buying-gas fee. Inanother words, density of gas stations and density of consumers are not the actual factors of affecting buying-gas fee.On the other hand, we find the gas fee in New York is a bit higher than the average fee in US. We can only analyze preliminary it is because of the higher goods price in New York. We need to add price factor into prediction model. We can’t improve deeper because of the limited time. The average CPI table of New York City and USA is below:Datas Statistics website(/xg_shells/ro2xg01.htm)6. Summery& Advantage and disadvantageTo reach the solution, we make graphs of crude oil and gasoline respectively and find the similarity between them. Since the conditions are limited that consumers can only drive 100miles per week or 200miles per week, we separate the problem into two parts according to the limitation. we use Time series analysis Method to predict the gasoline price of a future period by the data of several periods in the past. Then we take the influence of international events, economic events and weather changes and so on into consideration by adding a parameter. We give each factor a weight consequently and find the rules of the solution of 100miles per week and 200miles per week. Then we discuss the upper bound and clarify the definition of upper bound to solve the problem.According to comparison from many different aspects, we confirm that the model expressed byEquation ⑨is the best. On the basis of historical data and the decision model of buying gasoline(Equation ⑦and Equation ⑧), we calculate that the actual least cost of buying gasoline is 635.7440 USD if the consumer drives 100 miles per week (the result of our model is 637.24 USD) and the actual least cost of buying gasoline is 1253.5 USD(the result of our model is 1283.5 USD) if the consumer drives 100 miles per week. The result we predicted is similar to the actual result so the predictive validity of our model is finer.Disadvantages:1.The events which we predicted are difficult to quantize accurately. The turningpoint is difficult for us to predict accurately as well.2.We only choose two kinds of train of thought to develop models so we cannotevaluate other methods that we did not discuss in this paper. Other models which are built up by other train of thought are possible to be the optimal solution.。

《MCM》是MCM-Mathematical ContCM/ICM），是一项国际级的竞赛项目，为现今各类数学建模竞赛之鼻祖。
感谢观看
竞赛以三人（本科生）为一组，在四天时间内，就指定的问题完成从建立模型、求解、验证到论文撰写的全 部工作。竞赛每年都吸引大量著名高校参赛。2008年 MCM/ICM有超过 2000个队伍参加，遍及五大洲。MCM/ICM 已经成为最著名的国际大学生竞赛之一。
历史背景
1985年，在美国科学基金会的资助下，创办了一个名为“数学建模竞赛”（Mathematical Competition in Modeling后改名Mathematical Contest in Modeling，简称MCM）一年一度的大学水平的竞赛，MCM的宗旨是鼓 励大学师生对范围并不固定的各种实际问题予以阐明、分析并提出解法，通过这样一种结构鼓励师生积极参与并 强调实现完整的模型构造的过程。它是一种彻底公开的竞赛，每年只有若干个来自不受限制的任何领域的实际问 题，学生以三人组成一队的形式参赛，在三天（72小时）（近年改为四天，即96小时）内任选一题，完成该实际 问题的数学建模的全过程，并就问题的重述、简化和假设及其合理性的论述、数学模型的建立和求解（及软件）、 检验和改进、模型的优缺点及其可能的应用范围的自我评述等内容写出论文。由专家组成的评阅组进行评阅，评 出优秀论文，并给予某种奖励，它只有唯一的禁律，就是在竞赛期间不得与队外任何人（包括指导教师）讨论赛 题，但可以利用任何图书资料、互联网上的资料、任何类型的计算机和软件等，为充分发挥参赛学生的创造性提 供了广阔的空间。第一届MCM时，就有美国70所大学90个队参加，到1992年已经有美国及其它一些国家的189所大 学292个队参加，在某种意义下，已经成为一种国际性的竞赛，影响极其广泛。

2. MCM/ICM 题目的不同之处
• ICM问题通常是全球关注的问题，不依赖于文化背景 • 这就更有利于中国学生。因为某些MCM问题有时
偏重文化与传统的背景，如MCM 2006B，机场轮椅 问题，MCM2021A，交通灯设计，Stop sign(路口暂时 停的标记牌)，yield sign〔并道时必需看来车方向〕 在中国没有此类警示牌，MCM2021A， Ultimate Brownie Pan 等，很多中国学生无此概念。 • 参赛的学生根据自己的特长，选择不同类型的题目。

数模竞赛历史
·数模竞赛历史1、美国（MCM / ICM）竞赛1983年起，美国一些专家开始探讨组织一项应用数学方面的竞赛的可能性。
经过论证和争取资助，终于在1985年开始有了美国的第一届大学生数学建模竞赛，简称MCM（1987年前称Mathematical Competition in Modeling, 之后更名为Mathematical Contest in Modeling）。
竞赛由美国工业与应用数学学会和美国运筹学会联合主办。
从1985年起，每年举行一届，在每年二月的某个星期五到星期日举行。
到2004年已举行了20届。
MCM官方网站：Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM), challenges teams of students to clarify, analyze, and propose solutions to open-ended problems. The contest attracts diverse students and faculty advisors from over 500 institutions around the world.The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), an international contest for high school students and college undergraduates. ICM is an extension of the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). It is designed to develop and advance interdisciplinary problem-solving skills as well as competence in written communication.2、全国大学生数学建模竞赛受到美国先进教育的影响，早在1983年，我校数学系就首先开设了数学建模课程，当时仅面向数学系同学，用的是美国的教材。
2012年美赛C题论文
1.2 Methods of the Analysis
As investigators, we now know well about the 83nodes, 400 links over 21,000 words of message traffic, 15 topics (three have been deemed to be suspicious), 7 known conspirators, and 8known non-conspirators. We now call the known information about the company INTELLIGENCE. From the practice, the method which is always used in the intelligence work is a combination of qualitative reasoning and quantified reasoning, that is called Analytic Hierarchy Process (called AHP in the later part). At the same time, we also use Structural Model Analysis (SMA).
1.3 Assumptions
There is only linguistic communication between people. Body language never exists. People can talk to each other freely, without the liof known conspiractors and non-conspiractors is correct. The talk happens only between two people. Talks between 3 or over 3 members never exists.
美国大学生数学建模竞赛赛前培训心得体会
美国大学生数学建模竞赛赛前培训心得体会数学建模（Mathematical Modeding）是对现实世界的一个特定对象，为了一个特定目的，根据特有的内在规律，作出一些必要的简化假设，运用适当的数学工具，得到一个数学结构的过程[1].美国大学生数学建模竞赛（MCM/ICM），是一项国际级的竞赛项目，为现今各类数学建模竞赛之鼻祖。
MCM/ICM 是Mathematical Contest in Modeling 和InterdisciplinaryContest in Modeling 的缩写，即数学建模竞赛和交叉学科建模竞赛[2].MCM始于1985年，ICM始于2000年，由美国自然基金协会和美国数学应用协会共同主办，美国运筹学学会、工业与应用数学学会、数学学会等多家机构协办，比赛每年举办一次。
MCM/ICM着重强调研究问题、解决方案的原创性团队合作、交流以及结果的合理性。
竞赛形式为三名学生组成一队在四天内任选一题，完成该实际问题的数学建模的全过程，并就问题的重述、简化和假设及其合理性的论述、数学模型的建立和求解（及软件）、检验和改进、模型的优缺点及其可能的应用范围的自我评述等内容写出英文论文。
沈阳工业大学从2007年开始参加美国大学生数学建模竞赛，截至到2015年共参加了9届。

2012年全国大学生数学建模竞赛A题“特等奖”译文
2012年美国大学生数学建模竞赛A题题目翻译：一棵树的叶子。
一棵树的叶子有多重？怎么能估计树的叶子（或者树的任何其它部分）的实际重量？怎样对叶子进行分类？建立一个数学模型来对叶子进行描述和分类。
摘要我们构建了四个模型来研究叶的分类，叶子形状和叶片分布之间的关系，叶子的形状和树的轮廓的关联，以及一棵树的树叶总质量。
模型1处理叶的分类。
我们主要侧重于最显着的叶片的特征，即，形状。
我们创建七个几何参数以量化叶的形状。
然后，我们选择了六种常见的类型的叶子构造一个数据库。
通过计算的样品的与这些典型叶子的偏差指数，我们可以将叶子进行分类。
为了说明这个分类过程中，我们使用了枫叶作为测试。
模型2研究叶的形状和叶片分布之间的关系。
首先，我们将一棵树化为理想模型，然后介绍太阳高度的概念。
通过考虑叶片长度和节间在不同太阳高度下的关系，分析重叠的片叶阴影，我们发现树叶的形状和分布随着太阳高度进行优化以最大化接受阳光照射。
我们将该模型应用到三类试验树木。
模型3讨论树的轮廓和叶的形状之间可能存在关联。
基于叶脉和树的分支结构的相似性，我们认为，叶子的形状在二维上相似于一个树的轮廓。
采用模型1的方法，我们设置了几个参数来反映每棵树的大概形状，并通过它们的叶子将其进行比较。
在统计工具的帮助下，我们展示了一个树的轮廓与其叶子形状之间的粗略的关联。
模型4通那过给定的树的大小特征，估计了一棵树叶子的总质量。
并引入固碳率和树龄来建立叶的总质量和树的大小之间的联系。
由于单位质量的一个叶以一个恒等的速率固碳，固碳率与树龄之间是一个二次关系，并且树的年龄关系经历逻辑斯蒂增长。
介绍：我们解决四个主要子问题：•分类的叶子，•叶分布和叶片形状之间的关系，•树的轮廓和叶的形状的关系，和•一棵树叶片总质量的计算。
要解决的第一个问题，我们选择一组参数来量化叶片的形状特征和使用叶的形状作为我们的分类过程的主要标准。
对于第二个问题，由于叶子的形状影响着叶之间的重叠，我们将一片叶子直接投射到它下面的一片叶子的阴影重叠区域作为叶片分布和叶片形状之间的一个联系，我们假设叶片分布总是趋于尽量减少重叠的区域。
美赛
作为准备，你最好阅读历年竞赛的特等奖论文，这是非常重要的。这是唯一的渠道，当你阅读完一篇特等奖论文后，尝试猜猜评委们的观点，尽量与评委们保持一致！ 论文的写作工具在美赛中通常为LaTex，建议参赛的学生使用它，我们数学中国（）每年在竞赛前都会出来LaTex模板，直接套用即可，当然不会用LaTex也可以用word，推荐用word2007,因为他提供了即时翻译功能，是写作英文论文的必备。 在这里强调，不要试图通过写中文再翻译成英文，更不要指望任何人来帮你翻译，通常中文翻译成英文的文章，是那么的生涩难懂。在竞赛准备期间每个星期最少写2篇以上的英文科技小论文，写完之后请英语老师评价修改一下，这样有利于你的英文写作水平。
4、保持对问题的敏感性每 年的年底我们都会针对这一年国内外发生的事实进行总结，今年是个经济大灾年，全球金融危机。明年的题目是否会出到，尚未可知。但是经济危机的背景下，我们 是不是可以自己给自己出题目，自己做呢？比如经济危机对股市的影响、经济危机国际传染路线问题、政府救市的评估问题，这些都是可以用数学模型加以描述的。 也许有些同学会说，连诺贝尔经济学奖获得者都没有解决的问题，我们做有什么意思。呵呵，练笔与不练笔自己拿主意，只有经常做一些模型，才会提高自己建模的 水平。单单为了竞赛拿奖，没有平时的练笔。得奖的几率渺茫！
2012年美国国际大学生数学建模竞赛(MCM+ICM)题目+翻译
2012 Contest ProblemsPROBLEM A: The Leaves of a Tree"How much do the leaves on a tree weigh?" How might one estimate the actual weight of the leaves (or for that matter any other parts of the tree)? How might one classify leaves? Build a mathematical model to describe and classify leaves. Consider and answer the following:• Why do leaves have the various shapes that they have?• Do the shapes “minimize” overlapping individual shadows that are cast, so as to maximize exposure? Does the distribution of leaves within the “volume” of the tree and its branches effect the shape?• Speaking of profiles, is leaf shape (general characteristics) related to tree profile/branching structure?• How would you estimate the leaf mass of a tree? Is there a correlation between the leaf mass and the size characteristics of the tree (height, mass, volume defined by the profile)?In addition to your one page summary sheet prepare a one page letter to an editor of a scientific journal outlining your key findings.2012美赛A题：一棵树的叶子（数学中国翻译）“一棵树的叶子有多重？”怎么能估计树的叶子（或者树的任何其它部分）的实际重量？怎样对叶子进行分类？建立一个数学模型来对叶子进行描述和分类。

破案模型您的组织，ICM正在调查一个作案阴谋。
调查者非常有信心，因为他们知道阴谋集团的几名成员，但他们希望在进行逮捕之前能找出其他成员和领导人。
主谋者和所有可能涉嫌同谋的人都以复杂的关系为同一家公司在一个大办公室工作。
这家公司一直快速增长，并在开发和销售适用于银行和信用卡公司的计算机软件方面打出了自己的名气。
ICM最近从一个82个工人的小集体那儿得知了一个消息，他们认为这个消息能将帮助他们在公司里找到目前身份尚不明确的同谋者和未知的领导人的最有可能的人选。
由于信息流通涉及到所有的在该公司工作的工人，所以很可能在这次信息流通中有一些（或许很多）已经确定的传播者实际并不涉及阴谋。
事实上，他们确定他们知道一些并不参与阴谋的人。
建模工作的目标是确定在这个复杂的办公室里谁是最有可能的同谋。
一个优先级列表是最理想的，因为ICM可以根据这个来调查，**，和/或询问最有可能的候选人。
一个划分非同谋者与同谋者的分割线也将是有益的，因为可以对每个组里的人进行清楚的分类。
如果能提名阴谋的领导人，那对于检察官办公室也是非常有帮助的。
在把当前情况下的数据给你的犯罪建模团队之前，你的上司给你以下情形（称为调查EZ），那是她几年前在另一座城市工作时的案例。
她对她在简单案件的工作非常自豪，她说，这是一个非常小的，简单的例子，但它可以帮助你了解自己的任务。
她的数据如下：她认为是同谋的十人分别为Anne#, Bob, Carol, Dave*, Ellen, Fred, George*, Harry, Inez, and Jaye#.（*表示之前已知的同谋，＃表示事先已知的非同谋者）她对她的案件的28个消息记录按照她的分析依据主题进行了编号。
Anne to Bob：你今天为什么迟到了？（1）Bob to Carol：这该死的Anne总是看着我。
我并没有迟到。
（1）Carol to Dave： Anne 和 Bob又再为Bob的迟到吵架了。
（1）Dave to Ellen：我今天早上要见你。
你什么时候能来？把预算文件顺便带过来。
（2）Dave to Fred：我今天随时随地都可以去见你。
让我知道什么时候比较好。
我需要带预算文件吗？（2）Dave to George：我待会见你---有很多需要谈的。
我希望其他人都准备好。
获得这项权利？很重要。
（3）Harry to George：你似乎很紧张。
怎么回事？不用担心，我们的预算会好的。
（2）（4）Inez to George：我今天真的很累。
你呢，还好吗？（5）Jaye to Inez：也不怎么样今天（？）。
今天一起去吃午饭怎么样？（5）Inez to Jaye：幸好一切都很平静。
我已经精疲力竭，不能做午饭了今天。
抱歉！（5）George to Dave：现在来见我！（3）Jaye to Anne：你去吃午饭吗今天？（5）Dave to George：我没法去，现在正要去见Fred。
（3）George to Dave：见完他后到我这来。
（3）Anne to Carol：谁来监督一下Bob？他整天游手好闲的。
（1）Carol to Anne：别管他。
他和George and Dave合作得很好。
（1）George to Dave：这个很重要。
该死的Fred。
Ellen怎么样了？（3）Ellen to George：你和Dave谈过了吗？（3）George to Ellen：还没。
你呢？（3）Bob to Anne：我没有迟到。
而且你知道我午饭时间都在工作呢。
（1）Bob to Dave：告诉他们我没有迟到。
你了解我的。
（1）Ellen to Carol：联系Anne安排下个星期的预算会议日程，还有，帮我让George冷静点。
（2）Harry to Dave：你有没有注意到George今天看上去又很紧张/有压力？（4）Dave to George：该死的Harry觉得你很紧张。
别让他担心，免得他四处打探。
（4）George to Harry：我只是工作得太晚，家里又有点问题。
不用担心，我很好。
（4）Ellen to Harry：我忘了今天的会议了，怎么办？Fred会在那的，而且他比我更了解预算。
（2）Harry to Fred：我觉得明年的预算会让一些人很有压力的。
或许你今天该花点时间让大家安心。
（2）（4）Fred to Harry：我觉得我们的预算很正常，我没觉得会有人感到有压力。
（2）通信记录结束。
你的上司指出，她只分配和编号了5个不同的消息主题：1）Bob的迟到，2）预算，3）重要的未知的问题，可能是阴谋，4）乔治的压力，5）午餐和其他社会问题。
正如看到的消息编码那样，一些消息根据内容有两个主题。
你的上司按照通信联系和消息类型构造的通信网络分析案件。
下图是一个消息网络模型，网络图上注明了消息类型的代码。
您的上司说，除了已知的同谋George and Dave之外，根据她的分析Ellen and Carol也被认为是同谋。
而且不久后，Bob招认出他确实参与其中，从而希望得到减刑。
而对Carol的控告后来被放弃了。
你的上司至今仍然相当肯定Inez也参与了，但却从未对她立案。
你的上司建议您的团队，确定有罪的当事人，使像Inez的人不漏网，像Carol的人不被诬陷，从而增加ICM的信用，使像Bob的人不再有获得减刑的机会。
现在的案件：你的上司已经把目前的情况下构造成网络状的数据库，它具有和上面相同的结构，只是范围较大。
调查者有一些线索表明，一个阴谋正在挪用公司的资金和使用网上诈骗盗窃在该公司做业务的顾客的信用卡资金。
她给你看的简单案件的小例子，只有10个人（节点），27条边（消息），5个主题，1个可疑/阴谋主题，2个确定的罪犯，2个已知的清白者。
而到目前为止，这个新的案件却已经有83个节点，400条边（有些不止涉及1个主题），超过21000个单词的消息记录，15个主题（其中3个已被视为是可疑的），7个已知的罪犯，和8个已知的清白者。
这些数据在所附的电子表格文件：names.xls，Topics.xls，Messages.xls中给出。
names.xls包含办公室的关键节点对应的员工的名字。
topics.xls包含15个主题的代号及简短说明。
由于安全和隐私问题，你的团队不会有所有的直接消息记录。
messages.xls提供传输消息的节点对，和该消息的主题（可能不止一个主题，最多3个主题）。
为了使信息的沟通更加直观可视，图2提供了员工和消息链接的网络模型。
在这种情况下，不再像图1那样显示消息的主题。
而是在文件Messages.xls里给出主题的数目，并在Topics.xls中给以描述。
要求：要求1：到目前为止，已知Jean, Alex, Elsie, Paul, Ulf, Yao, and Harvey是罪犯，Darlene, Tran, Jia, Ellin, Gard, Chris, Paige, and Este不是罪犯。
可以的消息主题是7,11和13。
关于主题更多的信息在Topics.xls里。
建立模型和算法，把83个节点按照他是阴谋者的可能性大小排序，并解释你的模型和指标。
Jerome, Delores, and Gretchen是该公司的高级经理。
如果他们三个人中任何一个涉及阴谋这将是非常有益的。
要求2：优先列表将有神秘变化，如果有新的信息告知我们说主题1也与阴谋有关，而且克里斯是一个阴谋？（即多了两个线索）要求3：一个强大的与这个消息流通网络类似的获取和理解文本信息的技术被称为语义网络分析（semantic network analysis）;作为人工智能和计算语言学的方法，它提供了一个结构，并可进行有关知识或语言的推理过程。
另一个有关自然语言处理的计算语言学是文本分析text analysis。
针对我们的破案的情况，解释：如果你能获得原始消息，那么对信息流量的上下文和内容进行语义和文字分析对于帮助你们的团队开发出更好的模型和办公室人员的分类有多大的帮助和加强作用？你有没有使用这些基于文件Topics.xls中的主题描述的功能来提高您的模型？要求4：你的完整报告将最终提交给检察官办公室，所以一定要详细、明确地说明您的假设和方法，但不能超过20页。
您可以包括你的程序作为单独的文件中的附件使你的论文不超过页面限制，但包括这些程序不是必须的。
你的上司希望ICM是世界最好的解决白领、高科技的阴谋罪的机构，并希望您的方法有助于解决重要的世界各地的案件，特别是那些消息流量非常大的数据库（可能有数万的信息和数百万的单词）。
她特别要求你在论文中讨论：更深入的网络，语义，消息的文本分析内容是如何帮助你的模型和建议的。
作为给她的报告的一部分，请解释你用到的网络模型技术，以及为什么使用和它们可以怎么被用于任何类型的网络数据库从而来确定，优先级排序，和对相似结点分类的技术的网络模型，而不仅仅是犯罪阴谋和消息数据。
比如，给你各种图像或化学数据，其中表明了感染概率和已经确定了的一些受感染的结点，你的方法能用来在生物网络中找到感染或患病的细胞吗？。
