A coopera-tive guidance model is proposed, transforming the cooperative interception problem into a consensus problem based on the remaining flight time of the flight vehicles. First, the impact angle constraint is converted into the line of sight (LOS) angle con-straint, and a new fixed-time convergent non-singular terminal sliding surface is introduced, which resolves the singularity issue of the traditional sliding surfaces. With this approach, LOS angle rate and normal overloads can converge in fixed time, ensuring that the upper bound of the system convergence time is not affected by the initial value of the system. Furthermore, the maneuvering movement of the target is considered as a system disturbance, and an extended state observer is employed to estimate and compensate for it in the guidance law. Lastly, by applying consensus theory and distributed communication topology, the remaining flight time of each flight vehicle is syn-chronized to ensure that they intercept the target simulta-neously with different impact angles. Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cooper-ative interception and guidance method.展开更多

The targets of the paper are to study the problem of periodic solutions and fixed-time (FXT) stabilization of the addressed neural networks. In order to complete the targets, based on set-valued map, differential inclusions theory, coincidence theorem and Hölder inequality technique, some new proportional delay-dependent criteria shown by the inequalities are derived. Based on the fact of the existence of solution, further by applying the FXT stability lemmas and equivalent transformation, the zero solution of closed-loop system achieves FXT stabilization and the corresponding settling-times are estimated. Some previous related works on NTNNs are extended. Finally, one typical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the established results.展开更多

The primary objective is to devise controllers for each agent, enabling them to precisely track the average of multiple time-varying reference signals. By averaging these signals, we can mitigate the influence of errors and uncertainties arising dur-ing measurements, thereby enhancing the robustness and stabi-lity of the system. A distributed fixed-time average estimator is proposed to estimate the average value of global reference sig-nals utilizing local information and communication with neigh-bors. Subsequently, a fixed-time sliding mode controller is intro-duced incorporating a state-dependent sliding mode function coupled with a variable exponent coefficient to achieve dis-tributed average tracking of reference signals, and rigorous ana-lytical methods are employed to substantiate the fixed-time sta-bility. Finally, numerical simulation results are provided to vali-date the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, offering insights into its practical application and robust performance.展开更多

文摘This paper presents an investigation on the target-guided coordinated control(TACC)of unmanned surface vehicles(USVs).In the scenario of tracking non-cooperative targets,the status information of the target can only be obtained by some USVs.In order to achieve semi-encirclement tracking of noncooperative targets under maritime security conditions,a fixed-time tracking control method based on dynamic surface control(DSC)is proposed in this paper.Firstly,a novel TACC architecture with decoupled kinematic control law and decoupled kinetic control law was designed to reduce the complexity of control system design.Secondly,the proposed DSC-based target-guided kinematic control law including tracking points pre-allocation strategy and sigmoid artificial potential functions(SigAPFs)can avoid collisions during tracking process and optimize kinematic control output.Finally,a fixed-time TACC system was proposed to achieve fast convergence of kinematic and kinetics errors.The effectiveness of the proposed TACC approach in improving target tracking safety and reducing control output chattering was verified by simulation comparison results.

文摘In this paper,the problem of non-singular fixed-time control with prescribed performance is studied for multi-agent systems characterized by uncertain states,nonlinearities,and nonstrict feedback.To mitigate the nonlinearity,a fuzzy logic algorithm is applied to approximate the intrinsic dynamics of the system.Furthermore,a fuzzy logic system state observer based on leader state information is designed to address the partial unob-servability of followers.Subsequently,the power integral method is incorporated into the backstepping approach to avoid singularities in the fixed-time controller.A command filter method is introduced into the standard backstepping approach to reduce the computational complexity of controller design.Then,a non-singular fixed-time adaptive control strategy with prescribed performance is proposed by constraining the tracking error within a prescribed range.Rigorous theoretical analysis ensures the convergence of consensus error in the multi-agent system to the prescribed performance region within a fixed time.Finally,the practicality of the algorithm is validated through numerical simulations.

文摘This paper investigates modified fixed-time synchronization(FxTS)of complex networks(CNs)with time-varying delays based on continuous and discontinuous controllers.First,for the sake of making the settling time(ST)of FxTS is independent of the initial values and parameters of the CNs,a modified fixed-time(FxT)stability theorem is proposed,where the ST is determined by an arbitrary positive number given in advance.Then,continuous controller and discontinuous controller are designed to realize the modified FxTS target of CNs.In addition,based on the designed controllers,CNs can achieve synchronization at any given time,or even earlier.And control strategies effectively solve the problem of ST related to the parameters of CNs.Finally,an appropriate simulation example is conducted to examine the effectiveness of the designed control strategies.

文摘This paper presents a fixed-time cooperative gui-dance method with impact angle constraints for multiple flight vehicles (MFV) to address the challenges of intercepting large maneuvering targets with difficulty and low precision. A coopera-tive guidance model is proposed, transforming the cooperative interception problem into a consensus problem based on the remaining flight time of the flight vehicles. First, the impact angle constraint is converted into the line of sight (LOS) angle con-straint, and a new fixed-time convergent non-singular terminal sliding surface is introduced, which resolves the singularity issue of the traditional sliding surfaces. With this approach, LOS angle rate and normal overloads can converge in fixed time, ensuring that the upper bound of the system convergence time is not affected by the initial value of the system. Furthermore, the maneuvering movement of the target is considered as a system disturbance, and an extended state observer is employed to estimate and compensate for it in the guidance law. Lastly, by applying consensus theory and distributed communication topology, the remaining flight time of each flight vehicle is syn-chronized to ensure that they intercept the target simulta-neously with different impact angles. Simulation experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed cooper-ative interception and guidance method.

文摘In this paper, a class of discontinuous neutral-type neural networks (NTNNs) with proportional delays is considered. The targets of the paper are to study the problem of periodic solutions and fixed-time (FXT) stabilization of the addressed neural networks. In order to complete the targets, based on set-valued map, differential inclusions theory, coincidence theorem and Hölder inequality technique, some new proportional delay-dependent criteria shown by the inequalities are derived. Based on the fact of the existence of solution, further by applying the FXT stability lemmas and equivalent transformation, the zero solution of closed-loop system achieves FXT stabilization and the corresponding settling-times are estimated. Some previous related works on NTNNs are extended. Finally, one typical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the established results.

文摘This paper investigates the sliding-mode-based fixed-time distributed average tracking (DAT) problem for multiple Euler-Lagrange systems in the presence of external distur-bances. The primary objective is to devise controllers for each agent, enabling them to precisely track the average of multiple time-varying reference signals. By averaging these signals, we can mitigate the influence of errors and uncertainties arising dur-ing measurements, thereby enhancing the robustness and stabi-lity of the system. A distributed fixed-time average estimator is proposed to estimate the average value of global reference sig-nals utilizing local information and communication with neigh-bors. Subsequently, a fixed-time sliding mode controller is intro-duced incorporating a state-dependent sliding mode function coupled with a variable exponent coefficient to achieve dis-tributed average tracking of reference signals, and rigorous ana-lytical methods are employed to substantiate the fixed-time sta-bility. Finally, numerical simulation results are provided to vali-date the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, offering insights into its practical application and robust performance.
文摘The rapid development of Internet technology has made“Internet+”a hallmark of the current era.The transformation and development of traditional media into all-media have provided a guiding direction for the development of campus media.The traditional form of campus media,which mainly consists of campus newspapers and campus radio,can no longer meet the application demands of modern higher education for media.In line with the current media convergence environment,campus media need to actively innovate to achieve their own development and progress in keeping with the times.This article explores the innovation path of campus media in the context of media convergence,analyzing the promotion of campus media innovation by the development of new media,the diversification of campus media innovation,and the effective ways of campus media innovation,in order to promote the realization of the innovation and development goals of campus media in the context of media convergence.

文摘In this study,we present a deterministic convergence analysis of Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU)networks enhanced by a smoothing L_(1)regularization technique.While GRU architectures effectively mitigate gradient vanishing/exploding issues in sequential modeling,they remain prone to overfitting,particularly under noisy or limited training data.Traditional L_(1)regularization,despite enforcing sparsity and accelerating optimization,introduces non-differentiable points in the error function,leading to oscillations during training.To address this,we propose a novel smoothing L_(1)regularization framework that replaces the non-differentiable absolute function with a quadratic approximation,ensuring gradient continuity and stabilizing the optimization landscape.Theoretically,we rigorously establish threekey properties of the resulting smoothing L_(1)-regularizedGRU(SL_(1)-GRU)model:(1)monotonic decrease of the error function across iterations,(2)weak convergence characterized by vanishing gradients as iterations approach infinity,and(3)strong convergence of network weights to fixed points under finite conditions.Comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets-spanning function approximation,classification(KDD Cup 1999 Data,MNIST),and regression tasks(Boston Housing,Energy Efficiency)-demonstrate SL_(1)-GRUs superiority over baseline models(RNN,LSTM,GRU,L_(1)-GRU,L2-GRU).Empirical results reveal that SL_(1)-GRU achieves 1.0%-2.4%higher test accuracy in classification,7.8%-15.4%lower mean squared error in regression compared to unregularized GRU,while reducing training time by 8.7%-20.1%.These outcomes validate the method’s efficacy in balancing computational efficiency and generalization capability,and they strongly corroborate the theoretical calculations.The proposed framework not only resolves the non-differentiability challenge of L_(1)regularization but also provides a theoretical foundation for convergence guarantees in recurrent neural network training.
