Seldom does a single system exist that performs best for all plausible scenarios. A robust solution, one that performs relatively well over a wide range of scenarios, is often the preferred choice for reduced risk at an acceptable cost. The alternative with the maximum expected utility may possess vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The best strategy is likely to be a hybrid solution. The von Neumann-Morgenstern Expected Utility Theory (EUT) would never select such a solution because, given its linear functional form, the expected utility of a hybrid solution cannot be greater than that of every constituent alternative. The continuity axiom and the independence axiom are assessed to be unrealistic for the problem of interest. Several well-known decision models are analyzed and demonstrated to be potentially misleading. The linear disappointment model modifies EUT by adding a term proportional to downside risk;however, it does not provide a mathematical basis for determining preferred hybrid solutions. The paper proposes a portfolio allocation model with stochastic optimization as a flexible and transparent method for defining choice problems and determining hybrid solutions for critical systems with desirable properties such as diversification and robustness.展开更多

To effectively address this issue in robust design, this paper presents a novel robust optimization approach which integrates multi-objective optimization concepts with Taguchi’s crossed arrays techniques. In this approach, Pareto-optimal robust design solution sets are obtained with the aid of design of experiment set-ups, which utilize the results of Analysis of Variance to quantify relative dominance and significance of design variables. A beam design problem is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,With the advances in computing and communication technologies,the cyber-physical system(CPS),has been used in lots of industrial fields,such as the urban water cycle,internet of things,and human-cyber systems[1],[2],which has to face up to malicious cyber-attacks towards cyber communication of control commands.Specifically,jamming attack is regarded as one of the most common attacks of decreasing network performance.Game theory is widely regarded as a method of accurately describing the interaction between jamming attacker and legitimate user[3].In the cyber layer,the signal game model has been utilized to describe the transmission between the attacker and defender[4].However,most previous game theoretical researches are not feasible to meet the demands of industrial CPSs mainly due to the shared communication network nature.Specifically,it leads to incomplete information for players of game owing to various network-induced phenomena and employed communication protocols.In the physical layer,the secure control[5]and estimation[6]under attack detection have been studied for CPSs.However,these methods not only rely heavily on signals injection detection,but also have no access to smart attackers who launch covert attacks so that data receivers cannot observe the attack behaviour[7].Accordingly,the motivation arising here is to tackle the nested game problem for CPSs subject to jamming attack.

文摘In recent years,numerous recurrent neural network(RNN)models have been reported for solving time-dependent nonlinear optimization problems.However,few existing RNN models simultaneously involve nonlinear equality constraints,direct discretization,and noise suppression.This limitation presents challenges when existing models are applied to practical engineering problems.Additionally,most current discrete-time RNN models are derived from continuous-time models,which may not perform well for solving essentially discrete problems.To handle these issues,a robust direct-discretized RNN(RDD-RNN)model is proposed to efficiently realize time-dependent optimization constrained by nonlinear equalities(TDOCNE)in the presence of various time-dependent noises.Theoretical analyses are provided to reveal that the proposed RDD-RNN model possesses excellent convergence and noise-suppressing capability.Furthermore,numerical experiments and manipulator control instances are conducted and analyzed to validate the superior robustness of the proposed RDD-RNN model under various time-dependent noises,particularly quadratic polynomial noise.Eventually,small target detection experiments further demonstrate the practicality of the RDD-RNN model in image processing applications.

文摘The rapid evolution of wireless technologies and the advent of 6G networks present new challenges and opportunities for Internet ofThings(IoT)applications,particularly in terms of ultra-reliable,secure,and energyefficient communication.This study explores the integration of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces(RIS)into IoT networks to enhance communication performance.Unlike traditional passive reflector-based approaches,RIS is leveraged as an active optimization tool to improve both backscatter and direct communication modes,addressing critical IoT challenges such as energy efficiency,limited communication range,and double-fading effects in backscatter communication.We propose a novel computational framework that combines RIS functionality with Physical Layer Security(PLS)mechanisms,optimized through the algorithm known as Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG).This framework adaptively adapts RIS configurations and transmitter beamforming to reduce key challenges,including imperfect channel state information(CSI)and hardware limitations like quantized RIS phase shifts.By optimizing both RIS settings and beamforming in real-time,our approach outperforms traditional methods by significantly increasing secrecy rates,improving spectral efficiency,and enhancing energy efficiency.Notably,this framework adapts more effectively to the dynamic nature of wireless channels compared to conventional optimization techniques,providing scalable solutions for large-scale RIS deployments.Our results demonstrate substantial improvements in communication performance setting a new benchmark for secure,efficient and scalable 6G communication.This work offers valuable insights for the future of IoT networks,with a focus on computational optimization,high spectral efficiency and energy-aware operations.

文摘We demonstrate a modified particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm to effectively shape the incident light with strong robustness and short optimization time. The performance of the modified PSO algorithm and genetic algorithm(GA) is numerically simulated. Then, using a high speed digital micromirror device, we carry out light focusing experiments with the modified PSO algorithm and GA. The experimental results show that the modified PSO algorithm has greater robustness and faster convergence speed than GA. This modified PSO algorithm has great application prospects in optical focusing and imaging inside in vivo biological tissue, which possesses a complicated background.

文摘For the purpose of improving the mechanical performance indices of uncertain structures with interval parameters and ensure their robustness when fluctuating under interval parameters, a constrained interval robust optimization model is constructed with both the center and halfwidth of the most important mechanical performance index described as objective functions and the other requirements on the mechanical performance indices described as constraint functions. To locate the optimal solution of objective and feasibility robustness, a new concept of interval violation vector and its calculation formulae corresponding to different constraint functions are proposed. The math?ematical formulae for calculating the feasibility and objective robustness indices and the robustness?based preferential guidelines are proposed for directly ranking various design vectors, which is realized by an algorithm integrating Kriging and nested genetic algorithm. The validity of the proposed method and its superiority to present interval optimization approaches are demonstrated by a numerical example. The robust optimization of the upper beam in a high?speed press with interval material properties demonstrated the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method in engineering.

文摘This study presents a robustness optimization method for rapid prototyping(RP)of functional artifacts based on visualized computing digital twins(VCDT).A generalized multiobjective robustness optimization model for RP of scheme design prototype was first built,where thermal,structural,and multidisciplinary knowledge could be integrated for visualization.To implement visualized computing,the membership function of fuzzy decision-making was optimized using a genetic algorithm.Transient thermodynamic,structural statics,and flow field analyses were conducted,especially for glass fiber composite materials,which have the characteristics of high strength,corrosion resistance,temperature resistance,dimensional stability,and electrical insulation.An electrothermal experiment was performed by measuring the temperature and changes in temperature during RP.Infrared thermographs were obtained using thermal field measurements to determine the temperature distribution.A numerical analysis of a lightweight ribbed ergonomic artifact is presented to illustrate the VCDT.Moreover,manufacturability was verified based on a thermal-solid coupled finite element analysis.The physical experiment and practice proved that the proposed VCDT provided a robust design paradigm for a layered RP between the steady balance of electrothermal regulation and manufacturing efficacy under hybrid uncertainties.
文摘This article is about a comparison of different measures for determining the robustness or reliability of electric machine designs in the presence of inevitable tolerances.The selected criteria shall be suitable for concurrent evaluation in the course of solving state-of-the-art large scale multi-objective opti-mization problems.In the past,besides particularly customized criteria,mainly gradient based measures,worst case information,or standard deviation based quantities were considered.In this work,the quantile measure is introduced for electric machine design optimization and compared with the existing solutions.The evaluation of a design’s robustness is typically examined based on finite element simulations.As for most measures a signif-icant number of parameter combinations and thus computations are required,a surrogate model assisted approach is presented to minimize computational effort and runtime.A test problem is defined and analyzed to illustrate the differences of selected robustness measures.Results reveal the importance of considering robustness in the optimization process.Moreover,a careful choice of appropriate measures has to be taken.Selected designs are compared and conclusions and an outlook on future activities are presented.
文摘Critical systems are typically complex systems that are required to perform reliably over a wide range of scenarios, or multistate world. Seldom does a single system exist that performs best for all plausible scenarios. A robust solution, one that performs relatively well over a wide range of scenarios, is often the preferred choice for reduced risk at an acceptable cost. The alternative with the maximum expected utility may possess vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The best strategy is likely to be a hybrid solution. The von Neumann-Morgenstern Expected Utility Theory (EUT) would never select such a solution because, given its linear functional form, the expected utility of a hybrid solution cannot be greater than that of every constituent alternative. The continuity axiom and the independence axiom are assessed to be unrealistic for the problem of interest. Several well-known decision models are analyzed and demonstrated to be potentially misleading. The linear disappointment model modifies EUT by adding a term proportional to downside risk;however, it does not provide a mathematical basis for determining preferred hybrid solutions. The paper proposes a portfolio allocation model with stochastic optimization as a flexible and transparent method for defining choice problems and determining hybrid solutions for critical systems with desirable properties such as diversification and robustness.

文摘The problem of robust design is treated as a multi-objective optimization issue in which the performance mean and variation are optimized and minimized respectively, while maintaining the feasibility of design constraints under uncertainty. To effectively address this issue in robust design, this paper presents a novel robust optimization approach which integrates multi-objective optimization concepts with Taguchi’s crossed arrays techniques. In this approach, Pareto-optimal robust design solution sets are obtained with the aid of design of experiment set-ups, which utilize the results of Analysis of Variance to quantify relative dominance and significance of design variables. A beam design problem is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
