文摘The Steiner k-eccentricity of a vertex is the maximum Steiner distance over all k-sets each of which contains the given vertex,where the Steiner distance of a vertex set is the size of a minimum Steiner tree on this set.Since the minimum Steiner tree problem is well-known NP-hard,the Steiner k-eccentricity is not so easy to compute.This paper attempts to efficiently solve this problem on block graphs and general graphs with limited cycles.A block graph is a graph in which each block is a clique,and is also called a clique-tree.On block graphs,we propose an O(k(n+m))-time algorithm to compute the Steiner k-eccentricity of a vertex where n and m are respectively the order and size of a block graph.On general graphs with limited cycles,we take the cyclomatic numberν(G)as a parameter which is the minimum number of edges of G whose removal makes G acyclic,and devise an O(n^(ν(G)+1)(n(G)+m(G)+k))-time algorithm.
文摘Optimization is the key to obtaining efficient utilization of resources in structural design.Due to the complex nature of truss systems,this study presents a method based on metaheuristic modelling that minimises structural weight under stress and frequency constraints.Two new algorithms,the Red Kite Optimization Algorithm(ROA)and Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm(SBOA),are utilized on five benchmark trusses with 10,18,37,72,and 200-bar trusses.Both algorithms are evaluated against benchmarks in the literature.The results indicate that SBOA always reaches a lighter optimal.Designs with reducing structural weight ranging from 0.02%to 0.15%compared to ROA,and up to 6%–8%as compared to conventional algorithms.In addition,SBOA can achieve 15%–20%faster convergence speed and 10%–18%reduction in computational time with a smaller standard deviation over independent runs,which demonstrates its robustness and reliability.It is indicated that the adaptive exploration mechanism of SBOA,especially its Levy flight–based search strategy,can obviously improve optimization performance for low-and high-dimensional trusses.The research has implications in the context of promoting bio-inspired optimization techniques by demonstrating the viability of SBOA,a reliable model for large-scale structural design that provides significant enhancements in performance and convergence behavior.

文摘Data serves as the foundation for training and testing machine learning and artificial intelligencemodels.The most fundamental part of data is its attributes or features.The feature set size changes from one dataset to another.Only the relevant features contributemeaningfully to classificationaccuracy.The presence of irrelevant features reduces the system’s effectiveness.Classification performance often deteriorates on high-dimensional datasets due to the large search space.Thus,one of the significant obstacles affecting the performance of the learning process in the majority of machine learning and data mining techniques is the dimensionality of the datasets.Feature selection(FS)is an effective preprocessing step in classification tasks.The aim of applying FS is to exclude redundant and unrelated features while retaining the most informative ones to optimize classification capability and compress computational complexity.In this paper,a novel hybrid binary metaheuristic algorithm,termed hSC-FPA,is proposed by hybridizing the Flower Pollination Algorithm(FPA)and the Sine Cosine Algorithm(SCA).Hybridization controls the exploration capacity of SCA and the exploitation behavior of FPA to maintain a balanced search process.SCA guides the global search in the early iterations,while FPA’s local pollination refines promising solutions in later stages.A binary conversion mechanism using a threshold function is implemented to handle the discrete nature of the feature selection problem.The functionality of the proposed hSC-FPA is authenticated on fourteen standard datasets from the UCI repository using the K-Nearest Neighbors(K-NN)classifier.Experimental results are benchmarked against the standalone SCA and FPA algorithms.The hSC-FPA consistently achieves higher classification accuracy,selects a more compact feature subset,and demonstrates superior convergence behavior.These findings support the stability and outperformance of the hybrid feature selection method presented.

文摘Traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms,such as the rapidly-exploring random tree star(RRT^(*)),encounter critical limitations in unstructured orchard environments,including low sampling efficiency in narrow passages,slow convergence,and high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel hybrid global path planning algorithm integrating Gaussian sampling and quadtree optimization(RRT^(*)-GSQ).This methodology aims to enhance path planning by synergistically combining a Gaussian mixture sampling strategy to improve node generation in critical regions,an adaptive step-size and direction optimization mechanism for enhanced obstacle avoidance,a Quadtree-AABB collision detection framework to lower computational complexity,and a dynamic iteration control strategy for more efficient convergence.In obstacle-free and obstructed scenarios,compared with the conventional RRT^(*),the proposed algorithm reduced the number of node evaluations by 67.57%and 62.72%,and decreased the search time by 79.72%and 78.52%,respectively.In path tracking tests,the proposed algorithm achieved substantial reductions in RMSE of the final path compared to the conventional RRT^(*).Specifically,the lateral RMSE was reduced by 41.5%in obstacle-free environments and 59.3%in obstructed environments,while the longitudinal RMSE was reduced by 57.2%and 58.5%,respectively.Furthermore,the maximum absolute errors in both lateral and longitudinal directions were constrained within 0.75 m.Field validation experiments in an operational orchard confirmed the algorithm's practical effectiveness,showing reductions in the mean tracking error of 47.6%(obstacle-free)and 58.3%(with obstructed),alongside a 5.1%and 7.2%shortening of the path length compared to the baseline method.The proposed algorithm effectively enhances path planning efficiency and navigation accuracy for robots,presenting a superior solution for high-precision autonomous navigation of agricultural robots in orchard environments and holding significant value for engineering applications.

文摘To address the issue of instability or even imbalance in the orientation and attitude control of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles(QUAVs)under random disturbances,this paper proposes a distributed antidisturbance data-driven event-triggered fusion control method,which achieves efficient fault diagnosis while suppressing random disturbances and mitigating communication conflicts within the QUAV swarm.First,the impact of random disturbances on the UAV swarm is analyzed,and a model for orientation and attitude control of QUAVs under stochastic perturbations is established,with the disturbance gain threshold determined.Second,a fault diagnosis system based on a high-gain observer is designed,constructing a fault gain criterion by integrating orientation and attitude information from QUAVs.Subsequently,a model-free dynamic linearization-based data modeling(MFDLDM)framework is developed using model-free adaptive control,which efficiently fits the nonlinear control model of the QUAV swarm while reducing temporal constraints on control data.On this basis,this paper constructs a distributed data-driven event-triggered controller based on the staggered communication mechanism,which consists of an equivalent QUAV controller and an event-triggered controller,and is able to reduce the communication conflicts while suppressing the influence of random interference.Finally,by incorporating random disturbances into the controller,comparative experiments and physical validations are conducted on the QUAV platforms,fully demonstrating the strong adaptability and robustness of the proposed distributed event-triggered fault-tolerant control system.

文摘Wetting deformation in earth-rockfill dams is a critical factor influencingdam safety.Although numerous mathematical models have been developed to describe this phenomenon,most of them rely on empirical formulations and lack prior knowledge of model parameters,which is essential for Bayesian parameter inversion to enhance accuracy and reduce uncertainty.This study introduces a datadriven approach to establishing prior knowledge of earth-rockfill dams.Driving factors are utilized to determine the potential range of model parameters,and settlement changes within this range are calculated.The results are iteratively compared with actual monitoring data until the calculated range encompasses the observed data,thereby providing prior knowledge of the model parameters.The proposed method is applied to the right-bank earth-rockfilldam of Danjiangkou.Employing a Gibbs sample size of 30,000,the proposed method effectively calibrates the prior knowledge of the wetting model parameters,achieving a root mean square error(RMSE)of 5.18 mm for the settlement predictions.By comparison,the use of non-informative priors with sample sizes of 30,000 and 50,000 results in significantly larger RMSE values of 11.97 mm and 16.07 mm,respectively.Furthermore,the computational efficiencyof the proposed method is demonstrated by an inversion computation time of 902 s for 30,000 samples,which is notably shorter than the 1026 s and 1558 s required for noninformative priors with 30,000 and 50,000 samples,respectively.These findingsunderscore the superior performance of the proposed approach in terms of both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency.These results demonstrate that the proposed method not only improves the predictive accuracy but also enhances the computational efficiency,enabling optimal parameter identificationwith reduced computational effort.This approach provides a robust and efficientframework for advancing dam safety assessments.

文摘Storm-enhanced density(SED)and the tongue of ionization(TOI)are key ionospheric storm-time structures whose rapid evolution and fine-scale variability remain challenging to capture with conventional empirical high-latitude drivers.In this study,we examine the May 10–11,2024,superstorm using the Thermosphere–Ionosphere–Electrodynamics General Circulation Model(TIEGCM)with observation-constrained high-latitude forcing.Auroral precipitation parameters(energy flux and mean energy)are assimilated from a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program(DMSP)Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager(SSUSI)using a multi-resolution Gaussian process(Lattice Kriging)approach,whereas high-latitude convection potentials are derived by assimilating Super Dual Auroral Radar Network(SuperDARN)observations with the Thomas and Shepherd(2018)model(TS18).For comparison,an additional simulation is performed using empirical models for both convection and auroral forcing.The results show that during the main phase of the May 10 storm,the data-driven simulation provides a more realistic depiction of the SED source region than does the empirical model run by capturing its rapid intensification more clearly and reproducing its spatial location and structural features with higher fidelity.These improvements lead to a more accurate representation of its poleward extension into the polar cap that develops into the TOI.Above the ionospheric F2 peak over the SED source region,SuperDARN-constrained potentials generate stronger and more localized E×B drifts that dominate plasma uplift and drive its transport into the polar cap,although neutral winds and downward ambipolar diffusion partially offset these effects.Below the F2 peak,neutral winds and photochemical processes play a major role in shaping the spatial extent and intensity of the SED and TOI.These results highlight the role of observation-constrained high-latitude drivers in representing ionosphere–thermosphere responses during extreme storms and suggest their relevance for improving physical interpretation and model performance.
文摘Metaheuristic optimization algorithms continue to be essential for solving complex real-world problems,yet existingmethods often struggle with balancing exploration and exploitation across diverse problem landscapes.This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm named the Painted Wolf Optimization(PWO)algorithm.The main inspiration for the PWO algorithm is the group behavior and hunting strategy of painted wolves,also known as African wild dogs in the wild,particularly their unique consensus-based voting rally mechanism,a behavior fundamentally distinct fromthe social dynamics of grey wolves.In this innovative process,pack members explore different areas to find prey;then,they hold a pre-hunting voting rally based on the alpha member to determine who will begin the hunt and attack the prey.The efficiency of the proposed PWO algorithm is evaluated by a comparison study with other well-known optimization algorithms on 33 test functions,including the Congress on Evolutionary Computation(CEC)2017 suite and different real-world engineering design cases.Furthermore,the algorithm’s performance is further tested across a spectrum of optimization problems with extensive unknown search spaces.This includes its application within the field of cybersecurity,specifically in the context of training a machine learning-based intrusion detection system(ML-IDS),achieving an accuracy of 0.90 and an F-measure of 0.9290.Statistical analyses using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test(all p<0.05)indicate that the PWO algorithm outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms,providing superior solutions in diverse and unpredictable optimization landscapes.This demonstrates its potential as a robust method for tackling complex optimization problems in various fields.The source code for thePWOalgorithmis publicly available at https://github.com/saeidsheikhi/Painted-Wolf-Optimization.

文摘This paper introduces a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called the Gekko japonicus algorithm.The algo-rithm draws inspiration mainly from the predation strategies and survival behaviors of the Gekko japonicus.The math-ematical model is developed by simulating various biological behaviors of the Gekko japonicus,such as hybrid loco-motion patterns,directional olfactory guidance,implicit group advantage tendencies,and the tail autotomy mechanism.By integrating multi-stage mutual constraints and dynamically adjusting parameters,GJA maintains an optimal balance between global exploration and local exploitation,thereby effectively solving complex optimization problems.To assess the performance of GJA,comparative analyses were performed against fourteen state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms using the CEC2017 and CEC2022 benchmark test sets.Additionally,a Friedman test was performed on the experimen-tal results to assess the statistical significance of differences between various algorithms.And GJA was evaluated using multiple qualitative indicators,further confirming its superiority in exploration and exploitation.Finally,GJA was utilized to solve four engineering optimization problems and further implemented in robotic path planning to verify its practical applicability.Experimental results indicate that,compared to other high-performance algorithms,GJA demonstrates excep-tional performance as a powerful optimization algorithm in complex optimization problems.We make the code publicly available at:https://github.com/zhy1109/Gekko-japonicusalgorithm.
文摘To enhance the accuracy of path planning of unmanned surface vehicles(USVs),the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSO)is improved based on species migration strategies observed in ecology.By incorporating the concept of particle sight distance,an improved algorithm,called SD-IPSO,is proposed for the real-time autonomous navigation of USVs in marine environments.The algorithm refines the individual behavior pattern of particles in the population,effectively improving both local and global search capabilities while avoiding premature convergence.The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated using standard test functions from CEC-2017 function library,assessing it from multiple dimensions.Sensitivity analysis is conducted on key parameters in the algorithm,including particle sight distance and population size.Results indicate that compared with PSO,SD-IPSO demonstrates significant advantages in optimization accuracy and convergence speed.The application of SD-IPSO in path planning is further investigated through a 14-point traveling salesman problem(TSP)example and navigation autonomous tests of USVs in marine environments.Findings demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior optimization capabilities and can effectively address the path planning challenges of USVs.

文摘The Intrusion Detection System(IDS)is a security mechanism developed to observe network traffic and recognize suspicious or malicious activities.Clustering algorithms are often incorporated into IDS;however,conventional clustering-based methods face notable drawbacks,including poor scalability in handling high-dimensional datasets and a strong dependence of outcomes on initial conditions.To overcome the performance limitations of existing methods,this study proposes a novel quantum-inspired clustering algorithm that relies on a similarity coefficient-based quantum genetic algorithm(SC-QGA)and an improved quantum artificial bee colony algorithm hybrid K-means(IQABC-K).First,the SC-QGA algorithmis constructed based on quantum computing and integrates similarity coefficient theory to strengthen genetic diversity and feature extraction capabilities.For the subsequent clustering phase,the process based on the IQABC-K algorithm is enhanced with the core improvement of adaptive rotation gate and movement exploitation strategies to balance the exploration capabilities of global search and the exploitation capabilities of local search.Simultaneously,the acceleration of convergence toward the global optimum and a reduction in computational complexity are facilitated by means of the global optimum bootstrap strategy and a linear population reduction strategy.Through experimental evaluation with multiple algorithms and diverse performance metrics,the proposed algorithm confirms reliable accuracy on three datasets:KDD CUP99,NSL_KDD,and UNSW_NB15,achieving accuracy of 98.57%,98.81%,and 98.32%,respectively.These results affirm its potential as an effective solution for practical clustering applications.

文摘In this paper,we propose a new privacy-aware transmission scheduling algorithm for 6G ad hoc networks.This system enables end nodes to select the optimum time and scheme to transmit private data safely.In 6G dynamic heterogeneous infrastructures,unstable links and non-uniform hardware capabilities create critical issues regarding security and privacy.Traditional protocols are often too computationally heavy to allow 6G services to achieve their expected Quality-of-Service(QoS).As the transport network is built of ad hoc nodes,there is no guarantee about their trustworthiness or behavior,and transversal functionalities are delegated to the extreme nodes.However,while security can be guaranteed in extreme-to-extreme solutions,privacy cannot,as all intermediate nodes still have to handle the data packets they are transporting.Besides,traditional schemes for private anonymous ad hoc communications are vulnerable against modern intelligent attacks based on learning models.The proposed scheme fulfills this gap.Findings show the probability of a successful intelligent attack reduces by up to 65%compared to ad hoc networks with no privacy protection strategy when used the proposed technology.While congestion probability can remain below 0.001%,as required in 6G services.

文摘To address the issue of abnormal energy consumption fluctuations in the converter steelmaking process,an integrated diagnostic method combining the gray wolf optimization(GWO)algorithm,support vector machine(SVM),and K-means clustering was proposed.Eight input parameters—derived from molten iron conditions and external factors—were selected as feature variables.A GWO-SVM model was developed to accurately predict the energy consumption of individual heats.Based on the prediction results,the mean absolute percentage error and maximum relative error of the test set were employed as criteria to identify heats with abnormal energy usage.For these heats,the K-means clustering algorithm was used to determine benchmark values of influencing factors from similar steel grades,enabling root-cause diagnosis of excessive energy consumption.The proposed method was applied to real production data from a converter in a steel plant.The analysis reveals that heat sample No.44 exhibits abnormal energy consumption,due to gas recovery being 1430.28 kg of standard coal below the benchmark level.A secondary contributing factor is a steam recovery shortfall of 237.99 kg of standard coal.This integrated approach offers a scientifically grounded tool for energy management in converter operations and provides valuable guidance for optimizing process parameters and enhancing energy efficiency.
