Not taking into account recent progress and addressing these concerns separately, there remains a lack of solutions offering theoretical guarantees for both privacy protection and constrained ZOO over time-varying unbalanced graphs.We hereby propose a novel algorithm, termed the differential privacy(DP) distributed push-sum based zeroth-order constrained optimization algorithm(DP-ZOCOA). Operating over time-varying unbalanced graphs, DP-ZOCOA obviates the need for supplemental suboptimization problem computations, thereby reducing overhead in comparison to distributed primary-dual methods. DP-ZOCOA is specifically tailored to tackle constrained ZOO problems over time-varying unbalanced graphs,offering a guarantee of convergence to the optimal solution while robustly preserving privacy. Moreover, we provide rigorous proofs of convergence and privacy for DP-ZOCOA, underscoring its efficacy in attaining optimal convergence without constraints. To enhance its applicability, we incorporate DP-ZOCOA into the federated learning framework and formulate a decentralized zeroth-order constrained federated learning algorithm(ZOCOA-FL) to address challenges stemming from the timevarying imbalance of communication topology. Finally, the performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms are thoroughly evaluated through simulations on distributed least squares(DLS) and decentralized federated learning(DFL) tasks.展开更多

When the coil of the electromagnet is electrified with proper control strategy, the electromagnet can exert magnetic force opposite to the direction of structural deformation so that the structural vibration is attenuated. A mathematical model is developed based on the equivalent current method to calculate the electromagnetic control force produced by EMCLD. The governing equations of the system are obtained using Hamilton's Principle and then reduced with the assumed-mode method. A simulation on vibration control of a cantilever beam is conducted under the velocity proportional feedback to demonstrate the energy dissipation capability of EMCLD, and the beam system with the same parameter is experimented. The results of experiment and simulation are compared and the results show that the EMCLD is an effective means for suppressing modal vibration. The results also indicate that the beam system has better control performance for larger control current. The EMCLD method presented in this paper provides an applicable and efficient tool for the vibration control of structures.展开更多

First, the reason behind the negative data is analyzed and a nonnegative constraint is imposed on the classic PCA. Then a set of nonnegative linear independence weight vectors of principal components is obtained, by which a lowdimensional space is constructed. Finally, a nonlinear optimization technique is used to determine the projection vectors of the high-dimensional multi-spectral data in the constructed space. Experimental results show that the proposed method can keep the reconstructed spectral data in [ 0, 1 ]. The precision of the space created by the proposed method is equivalent to or even higher than that by the PCA.展开更多

A new constrained VA is proposed by adding con- straint bits directly for conventional codec. Compared with the conventional VA, under the bad channel condi- tion, the proposed scheme can improve the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the decoding image 2--10 dB by changing the number of constrained bits. Experimental results show that it is an efficient error-controlling way for the transmission of set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) coded image.展开更多

Using two kinds of matching constraints dynamically generated in the matching process, the proposed approach can prune most improper mappings between SRGs during the matching process. According to our theoretical analysis in this paper, the time complexity of our approach is O(n 2) in the best case, and O(n!) in the worst case, which occurs infrequently. The spatial complexity is always O(n) for all cases. Implemented in Smart Sketchpad, our proposed strategy is of good performance.展开更多

We use the iterative least squares with projection (ILSP) algorithm initializedby the pilot to get the estimation. The accuracy of channel estimation and symbol detection can beprogressively increased through the iteration procedure of the ILSP algorithm. Simulation resultsdemonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the system performance effectively compared withthe conventional 2-D RAKE receiver.展开更多

文摘To reduce the number of the level sets used in algorithm of constrained nonlinear systems via ellipsoidal techniques, according to the analysis of mathematics, searching algorithm is used for choosing the control input. Simulation shows that the number of level sets used for controlling is almost the same as that used in polytope techniques. Sub time optimal algorithm reduces the number of the level sets used in ellipsoidal techniques.

文摘By introducing a smooth merit function for the median function, a new smooth merit function for box constrained variational inequalities (BVIs) was constructed. The function is simple and has some good differential properties. A damped Newton type method was presented based on it.Global and local superlinear/quadratic convergence results were obtained under mild conditions, and the finite termination property was also shown for the linear BVIs. Numerical results suggest that the method is efficient and promising.
文摘A constrained partial permutation strategy is proposed for matching spatial relation graph (SRG), which is used in our sketch input and recognition system Smart Sketchpad for representing the spatial relationship among the components of a graphic object. Using two kinds of matching constraints dynamically generated in the matching process, the proposed approach can prune most improper mappings between SRGs during the matching process. According to our theoretical analysis in this paper, the time complexity of our approach is O(n 2) in the best case, and O(n!) in the worst case, which occurs infrequently. The spatial complexity is always O(n) for all cases. Implemented in Smart Sketchpad, our proposed strategy is of good performance.

文摘Based on the fact that the variation of tile direction of arrival (DOA) isslower than that of the channel fading, the steering vector of the desired signal is estimatedfirstly using a subspace decomposition method and then a constrained condition is configured.Traffic signals are further employed to estimate the channel vector based on the constrained leastsquares criterion. We use the iterative least squares with projection (ILSP) algorithm initializedby the pilot to get the estimation. The accuracy of channel estimation and symbol detection can beprogressively increased through the iteration procedure of the ILSP algorithm. Simulation resultsdemonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the system performance effectively compared withthe conventional 2-D RAKE receiver.

文摘For an in-depth study on the integration problem of the constrained mechanical systems the method of integration for the Birkhoffian system with constraints is discussed and the method of variation of parameters for solving the dynamical equations of the constrained Birkhoffian system is provided.First the differential equations of motion for the constrained Birkhoffian system as well as for the corresponding free Birkhoffian system are established.Secondly a system of auxiliary equations is constructed and the general solution of the equations is found.Finally by varying the parameters and utilizing the properties of the generalized canonical transformation of the Birkhoffian system the solution of the problem can be obtained.The proposed method reveals the inherent relationship between the solution of a free Birkhoffian system and that of a constrained Birkhoffian system. The research results are of universal significance which can be further used in a variety of constrained mechanical systems such as non-conservative systems and nonholonomic systems etc.
