文摘Assessing the impact of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds(VOCs)on ozone(O_(3))formation is vital for themanagement of emission reduction and pollution control.Continuousmeasurement of O_(3)and the major precursorswas conducted in a typical light industrial city in the YRD region from 1 May to 25 July in 2021.Alkanes were the most abundant VOC group,contributing to 55.0%of TVOCs concentration(56.43±21.10 ppb).OVOCs,aromatics,halides,alkenes,and alkynes contributed 18.7%,9.6%,9.3%,5.2%and 1.9%,respectively.The observational site shifted from a typical VOC control regime to a mixed regime from May to July,which can be explained by the significant increase of RO_(x)production,resulting in the transition of environment from NOx saturation to radical saturation with respect to O_(3)production.The optimal O_(3)control strategy should be dynamically changed depending on the transition of control regime.Under NOx saturation condition,minimizing the proportion of NOx in reduction could lead to better achievement of O_(3)alleviation.Under mixed control regime,the cut percentage gets the top priority for the effectiveness of O_(3)control.Five VOCs sources were identified:temperature dependent source(28.1%),vehicular exhausts(19.9%),petrochemical industries(7.2%),solvent&gasoline usage(32.3%)and manufacturing industries(12.6%).The increase of temperature and radiation would enhance the evaporation related VOC emissions,resulting in the increase of VOC concentration and the change of RO_(x)circulation.Our results highlight determination of the optimal control strategies for O_(3)pollution in a typical YRD industrial city.

文摘We present a robust quantum optimal control framework for implementing fast entangling gates on ion-trap quantum processors.The framework leverages tailored laser pulses to drive the multiple vibrational sidebands of the ions to create phonon-mediated entangling gates and,unlike the state of the art,requires neither weakcoupling Lamb-Dicke approximation nor perturbation treatment.With the application of gradient-based optimal control,it enables finding amplitude-and phase-modulated laser control protocols that work without the Lamb-Dicke approximation,promising gate speeds on the order of microseconds comparable to the characteristic trap frequencies.Also,robustness requirements on the temperature of the ions and initial optical phase can be conveniently included to pursue high-quality fast gates against experimental imperfections.Our approach represents a step in speeding up quantum gates to achieve larger quantum circuits for quantum computation and simulation,and thus can find applications in near-future experiments.

文摘This paper addresses the Singular Optimal Control Problem(SOCP)for a surface-to-air missile with limited control,fully considering aerodynamic effects with a parabolic drag polar.This problem is an extension of the typical Goddard problem.First,the classical Legendre-Clebsch condition is applied to derive optimal conditions for the singular angle of attack,revealing that the missile turns by gravity along the singular arc.Second,the higher-order differentiation of the switching function provides the necessary conditions to determine the optimal thrust,expressed as linear functions of the costate variables.The vanishing coefficient determinant is then employed to decouple the control and costate variables,yielding the singular thrust solely dependent on state variables and identifying the singular surface.Moreover,the analytical singular control can be regarded as path constraints subject to the typical Optimal Control Problem(OCP),enabling the GPOPS-Ⅱ,a direct method framework that does not involve the singular condition,to solve the SOCP.Finally,three cases with different structures are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.The results show that it takes a few steps to obtain the numerical optimal solution,which is consistent with the analytical solution derived from the calculus of variations,highlighting its great computational accuracy and effectiveness.

文摘The co-infection of corona and influenza viruses has emerged as a significant threat to global public health due to their shared modes of transmission and overlapping clinical symptoms.This article presents a novel mathematical model that addresses the dynamics of this co-infection by extending the SEIR(Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered)framework to incorporate treatment and hospitalization compartments.The population is divided into eight compartments,with infectious individuals further categorized into influenza infectious,corona infectious,and co-infection cases.The proposed mathematical model is constrained to adhere to fundamental epidemiological properties,such as non-negativity and boundedness within a feasible region.Additionally,the model is demonstrated to be well-posed with a unique solution.Equilibrium points,including the disease-free and endemic equilibria,are identified,and various properties related to these equilibrium points,such as the basic reproduction number,are determined.Local and global sensitivity analyses are performed to identify the parameters that highly influence disease dynamics and the reproduction number.Knowing the most influential parameters is crucial for understanding their impact on the co-infection’s spread and severity.Furthermore,an optimal control problem is defined to minimize disease transmission and to control strategy costs.The purpose of our study is to identify the most effective(optimal)control strategies for mitigating the spread of the co-infection with minimum cost of the controls.The results illustrate the effectiveness of the implemented control strategies in managing the co-infection’s impact on the population’s health.This mathematical modeling and control strategy framework provides valuable tools for understanding and combating the dual threat of corona and influenza co-infection,helping public health authorities and policymakers make informed decisions in the face of these intertwined epidemics.
文摘The electromagnetic levitation system(EMLS)serves as the most important part of any magnetic levitation system.However,its characteristics are defined by its highly nonlinear dynamics and instability.Furthermore,the uncertainties in the dynamics of an electromagnetic levitation system make the controller design more difficult.Therefore,it is necessary to design a robust control law that will ensure the system’s stability in the presence of these uncertainties.In this framework,the dynamics of an electromagnetic levitation system are addressed in terms of matched and unmatched uncertainties.The robust control problem is translated into the optimal control problem,where the uncertainties of the electromagnetic levitation system are directly reflected in the cost function.The optimal control method is used to solve the robust control problem.The solution to the optimal control problem for the electromagnetic levitation system is indeed a solution to the robust control problem of the electromagnetic levitation system under matched and unmatched uncertainties.The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the performance of the designed control scheme.The performance indices such as integral absolute error(IAE),integral square error(ISE),integral time absolute error(ITAE),and integral time square error(ITSE)are compared for both uncertainties to showcase the robustness of the designed control scheme.

文摘This paper studies motor joint control of a 4-degree-of-freedom(DoF)robotic manipulator using learning-based Adaptive Dynamic Programming(ADP)approach.The manipulator’s dynamics are modelled as an open-loop 4-link serial kinematic chain with 4 Degrees of Freedom(DoF).Decentralised optimal controllers are designed for each link using ADP approach based on a set of cost matrices and data collected from exploration trajectories.The proposed control strategy employs an off-line,off-policy iterative approach to derive four optimal control policies,one for each joint,under exploration strategies.The objective of the controller is to control the position of each joint.Simulation and experimental results show that four independent optimal controllers are found,each under similar exploration strategies,and the proposed ADP approach successfully yields optimal linear control policies despite the presence of these complexities.The experimental results conducted on the Quanser Qarm robotic platform demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ADP controllers in handling significant dynamic nonlinearities,such as actuation limitations,output saturation,and filter delays.

文摘Finding the optimal control is of importance to quantum metrology under a noisy environment.In this paper,we tackle the problem of finding the optimal control to enhance the performance of quantum metrology under an arbitrary non-Markovian bosonic environment.By introducing an equivalent pseudomode model,the non-Markovian dynamic evolution is reduced to a Lindblad master equation,which helps us to calculate the gradient of quantum Fisher information and perform the gradient ascent algorithm to find the optimal control.Our approach is accurate and circumvents the need for the Born-Markovian approximation.As an example,we consider the frequency estimation of a spin with pure dephasing under two types of non-Markovian environments.By maximizing the quantum Fisher information at a fixed evolution time,we obtain the optimal multi-axis control,which results in a notable enhancement in quantum metrology.The advantage of our method lies in its applicability to the arbitrary non-Markovian bosonic environment.

文摘This article presents an adaptive optimal control method for a semi-active suspension system.The model of the suspension system is built,in which the components of uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance are described.The adaptive optimal control law consists of the sum of the optimal control component and the adaptive control component.First,the optimal control law is designed for the model of the suspension system after ignoring the components of uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance caused by the road surface.The optimal control law expresses the desired dynamic characteristics of the suspension system.Next,the adaptive component is designed with the purpose of compensating for the effects caused by uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance caused by the road surface;the adaptive component has adaptive parameter rules to estimate uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance.When exogenous disturbances are eliminated,the system responds with an optimal controller designed.By separating theoretically the dynamic of a semi-active suspension system,this solution allows the design of two separate controllers easily and has reduced the computational burden and the use of too many tools,thus allowing for more convenient hardware implementation.The simulation results also show the effectiveness of damping oscillations of the proposed solution in this article.

文摘Malaria is a significant global health challenge.This devastating disease continues to affect millions,especially in tropical regions.It is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes.This study introduces a nonlinear mathematical model for examining the transmission dynamics of malaria,incorporating both human and mosquito populations.We aim to identify the key factors driving the endemic spread of malaria,determine feasible solutions,and provide insights that lead to the development of effective prevention and management strategies.We derive the basic reproductive number employing the next-generation matrix approach and identify the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points.Stability analyses indicate that the disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally stable when the reproductive number is below one,whereas an endemic equilibrium persists when this threshold is exceeded.Sensitivity analysis identifies the most influential mosquito-related parameters,particularly the bite rate and mosquito mortality,in controlling the spread of malaria.Furthermore,we extend our model to include a treatment compartment and three disease-preventive control variables such as antimalaria drug treatments,use of larvicides,and the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets for optimal control analysis.The results show that optimal use of mosquito nets,use of larvicides for mosquito population control,and treatment can lower the basic reproduction number and control malaria transmission with minimal intervention costs.The analysis of disease control strategies and findings offers valuable information for policymakers in designing cost-effective strategies to combat malaria.

文摘A mixed adaptive dynamic programming(ADP)scheme based on zero-sum game theory is developed to address optimal control problems of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)systems subject to disturbances and safe constraints.By combining prior dynamic knowledge and actual sampled data,the proposed approach effectively mitigates the defect caused by the inaccurate dynamic model and significantly improves the training speed of the ADP algorithm.Initially,the dataset is enriched with sufficient reference data collected based on a nominal model without considering modelling bias.Also,the control object interacts with the real environment and continuously gathers adequate sampled data in the dataset.To comprehensively leverage the advantages of model-based and model-free methods during training,an adaptive tuning factor is introduced based on the dataset that possesses model-referenced information and conforms to the distribution of the real-world environment,which balances the influence of model-based control law and data-driven policy gradient on the direction of policy improvement.As a result,the proposed approach accelerates the learning speed compared to data-driven methods,concurrently also enhancing the tracking performance in comparison to model-based control methods.Moreover,the optimal control problem under disturbances is formulated as a zero-sum game,and the actor-critic-disturbance framework is introduced to approximate the optimal control input,cost function,and disturbance policy,respectively.Furthermore,the convergence property of the proposed algorithm based on the value iteration method is analysed.Finally,an example of AUV path following based on the improved line-of-sight guidance is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘Spillover of trypanosomiasis parasites from wildlife to domestic livestock and humans remains a major challenge world over.With the disease targeted for elimination by 2030,assessing the impact of control strategies in communities where there are human-cattle-wildlife interactions is therefore essential.A compartmental framework incorporating tsetse flies,humans,cattle,wildlife and various disease control strategies is developed and analyzed.The reproduction is derived and its sensitivity to different model parameters is investigated.Meanwhile,the optimal control theory is used to identify a combination of control strategies capable of minimizing the infected human and cattle population over time at minimal costs of implementation.The results indicates that tsetse fly mortality rate is strongly and negatively correlated to the reproduction number.It is also established that tsetse fly feeding rate in strongly and positively correlated to the reproduction number.Simulation results indicates that time dependent control strategies can significantly reduce the infections.Overall,the study shows that screening and treatment of humans may not lead to disease elimination.Combining this strategy with other strategies such as screening and treatment of cattle and vector control strategies will result in maximum reduction of tsetse fly population and disease elimination.
