Abstract

Digital Twin (DT) has gained great interest as an innovative technology in Industry 4.0 that enables advanced modeling, simulation, and optimization of service and manufacturing systems. This article provides an extensive review of the literature on digital twins (DTs) and their utilization at the levels of product/production line, production system, and enterprise, and considers how they have been applied under real industrial conditions. This article classifies the types of DTs as well as modeling technologies of DT and applications in different fields, with particular focus on the research of strengths and limitations of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) for systems modelling. A generic structure for DT is proposed, outlining the essential components and flow of data. Case studies demonstrate the benefits of DTs for increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved lifecycle management, as well as challenges caused by the complexity of data integration and cybersecurity risk, and high implementation costs. This paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge by identifying both the opportunities and barriers to widespread DT adoption. This study concludes that while DTs offer transformative capabilities for enhancing efficiency and decision-making, overcoming these challenges is crucial for realizing their widespread adoption and impact across service and manufacturing sectors.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
