First, the payment matrix is given and two evolutionary dynamics models are established by adding stochastic and impulse. For the stochastic model without impulses, the existence and uniqueness of solution, and the existence of positive periodic solutions are proved, and a sufficient condition for strategy extinction is given. For the stochastic model with impulses, the existence of positive periodic solutions is proved. Numerical results show that noise and impulses directly affect the model, but the periodicity of the model does not change.展开更多

文摘This paper proposes a novel impulsive thrust strategy guided by optimal continuous thrust strategy to address two-player orbital pursuit-evasion game under impulsive thrust control.The strategy seeks to enhance the interpretability of impulsive thrust strategy by integrating it within the framework of differential game in traditional continuous systems.First,this paper introduces an impulse-like constraint,with periodical changes in thrust amplitude,to characterize the impulsive thrust control.Then,the game with the impulse-like constraint is converted into the two-point boundary value problem,which is solved by the combined shooting and deep learning method proposed in this paper.Deep learning and numerical optimization are employed to obtain the guesses for unknown terminal adjoint variables and the game terminal time.Subsequently,the accurate values are solved by the shooting method to yield the optimal continuous thrust strategy with the impulse-like constraint.Finally,the shooting method is iteratively employed at each impulse decision moment to derive the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy.Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence of the combined shooting and deep learning method,even if the strongly nonlinear impulse-like constraint is introduced.The effect of the impulsive thrust strategy guided by the optimal continuous thrust strategy is also discussed.

文摘The behaviors of unsteady flow structures and corresponding hydrodynamics for a pitching hydrofoil are investigated numerically and theoretically in the present paper.The aims are to derive the total lift by finite-domain impulse theory for subcavitating flow(σ=8.0)and cavitating flow(σ=3.0),and to quantify the distinct impact of individual vortex structures on the transient lift to appreciate the interplay among cavitation,flow structures,and vortex dynamics.The motion of the hydrofoil is set to pitch up clockwise with an almost constant rate from 0°to 15°and then back to 0°,for the Reynolds number,7.5×105,and the frequency,0.2 Hz,respectively.The results reveal that the presence of cavities delays the migration of the laminar separation bubble(LSB)from the trailing edge(TE)to the leading edge(LE),consequently postponing the hysteresis in the inflection of lift coefficients.The eventual stall under the sub-cavitation regime is the result of LSB bursting.While the instabilities within the leading-edge LSB induce the convection of cavitation-dominated vortices under the cavitation regime instead.Having validated the lift coefficients on the hydrofoil through the finite-domain impulse theory using the standard force expression,the Lamb vector integral emerges as the main contribution to the generation of unsteady lift.Moreover,the typical vortices’contributions to the transient lift during dynamic stall are accurately quantified.The analysis indicates that the clockwise leading-edge vortex(−LEV)contributes positively,while the counterclockwise trailing-edge vortex(+TEV)contributes negatively.The negative influence becomes particularly pronounced after reaching the peak of total lift,as the shedding of the concentrated wake vortex precipitates a sharp decline due to a predominant negative lift contribution from the TEV region.Generally,the vortices’contribution is relatively modest in sub-cavitating flow,but it is notably more significant in the context of incipient cavitating flow.

文摘The concept of the spacecraft Reachable Domain(RD)has garnered significant scholarly attention due to its crucial role in space situational awareness and on-orbit service applications.While the existing research has largely focused on single-impulse RD analysis,the challenge of Multi-Impulse RD(MIRD)remains a key area of interest.This study introduces a methodology for the precise calculation of spacecraft MIRD.The reachability constraints specific to MIRD are first formulated through coordinate transformations.Two restricted maneuvering strategies are examined.The derivation of two extremum conditions allows for determining the accessible orientation range and the nodes encompassing the MIRD.Subsequently,four nonlinear programming models are developed to address two types of MIRD by skillfully relaxing constraints using scale factors.Numerical results validate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed approach,showing substantial agreement with Monte Carlo simulations and confirming its applicability to spacecraft on various elliptical orbits.
