Aiming at the subjective and man-made conventional method of choice in the space basis functions, we propose to combine the empirical orthogonal function （EOF） analysis with the genetic algorithm to inverse the space basis functions from the actual sequence of fields. A group of trigonometric functions are chosen as a generalized space basis function. With the least-squares error of the basis function and EOF typical fields, and with the complete orthogonality of basis functions, we can get the dual-bound function. A genetic algorithm is then introduced to carry out surface fitting and coefficient optimization of the basis function. As a result, the objective and reasonable constant differential equation of the subtropical high is obtained by inversion. Finally, based on the obtained nonlinear dynamics model, the dynamic behavior and mechanism of the subtropical high is analyzed and discussed under the influence of heat force. We find that solar radiation and zonal differences in land and sea are important factors impacting the potential field and flow field changes of the subtropical areas. These factors lead to strength changes of the subtropical high and medium-term advance/retreat activities. The former is a gradual change, while the latter shows more break characteristics. Meaningful results are obtained in the analysis.展开更多

Automatic temperature recorders were used to sample at lo-minute intervals at the Tianshan Station for Snow-cover and Avalanche Research, Chinese snow temperature Academy of Sciences. lo-layer and the snow cover parameters were measured by the snow property analyzer （Snow Fork） in its Stable period, Interim period and Snow melting period. Results indicate that the amplitude of the diurnal fluctuation in the temperature during Snow melting period is 1.62 times greater than that during Stable period. Time up to the peak temperature at the snow surface lags behind the peak solar radiation by more than 2.5 hours, and lags behind the peak atmospheric temperature by more than 0.2 hours during all three periods. The optimal fitted function of snow temperature profile becomes more complicated from Stable period to Snow melting period. 22 h temperature profiles in Stable period are the optimal fitted by cubic polynomial equation. In Interim period and Snow melting period, temperature profiles are optimal fitted by exponential equation between sunset and sunrise, and by Fourier function when solar radiation is strong. The vertical gradient in the snow temperature reaches its maximum value at the snow surface for three periods. The peak of this maximum value occurs during Stableperiod, and is 4.46 times greater than during Interim period. The absolute value of temperature gradient is lower than 0.1℃ cm-1 for 30 cm beneath snow surface. Snow temperature and temperature gradient in Stable period-Interim period indirectly cause increase （decrease） of snow density mainly by increasing （decreasing） permittivity. While it dramatically increases its water content to change its permittivity and snow density in Snow melting period.展开更多

The paper proposes a method of global path planning based on neural network and genetic algorithm. We constructed the neural network model of environmental information in the workspace for a robot and used this model to establish the relationship between a collision avoidance path and the output of the model. Then the two-dimensional coding for the path via-points was converted to one-dimensional one and the fitness of both the collision avoidance path and the shortest distance are integrated into a fitness function. The simulation results showed that the proposed method is correct and effective.展开更多

However, problems such as particle depletion and particle degradation affect the performance of PF. Optimizing the particle set to high likelihood region with intelligent optimization algorithm results in a more reasonable distribution of the sampling particles and more accurate state estimation. In this paper, a novel bird swarm algorithm based PF(BSAPF) is presented. Firstly, different behavior models are established by emulating the predation, flight, vigilance and follower behavior of the birds. Then, the observation information is introduced into the optimization process of the proposal distribution with the design of fitness function. In order to prevent particles from getting premature(being stuck into local optimum) and increase the diversity of particles, Lévy flight is designed to increase the randomness of particle's movement. Finally,the proposed algorithm is applied to estimate the speed of the train under the condition that the measurement noise of the wheel sensor is non-Gaussian distribution. Simulation study and experimental results both show that BSAPF is more accurate and has more effective particle number as compared with PF and UKF, demonstrating the promising performance of the method.展开更多

Coevolution was used in dual populations which evolved in parallel. The search space was projected into multiple subspaces and searched by sub-populations. Also, the whole space was exploited by the other population which exchanges information with the sub-populations. In order to make the evolutionary course efficient, multivariate Gaussian model and Gaussian mixture model were used in both populations separately to estimate the distribution of individuals and reproduce new generations. For the surrogate model, Gaussian process was combined with the algorithm which predicted variance of the predictions. The results on six benchmark functions show that the new algorithm performs better than other surrogate-model based algorithms and the computation complexity is only 10% of the original estimation of distribution algorithm.展开更多

Numerical experiments show that the proposed DBA has a better optimization capability and provides more accurate solutions than the other three algorithms.展开更多

The fuzzy genetic algorithm based on the linear scaling of the fitness value is presented to update the weights of neural networks. To increase the search speed of the algorithm, the crossover probability and the mutation probability are adjusted through fuzzy control and the fitness is modified by the linear scaling method in FGA. Simulations show that the proposed method improves considerably the precision of the inverse kinematics solutions for robot manipulators and guarantees a rapid global convergence and overcomes the drawbacks of SGA and the BP algorithm.展开更多

Firstly, this pap...All the parameters of beamforming are usually optimized simultaneously in implementing the optimization of antenna array pattern with multiple objectives and parameters by genetic algorithms （GAs）. Firstly, this paper analyzes the performance of fitness functions of previous algorithms. It shows that original algorithms make the fitness functions too complex leading to large amount of calculation, and also the selection of the weight of parameters very sensitive due to many parameters optimized simultaneously. This paper proposes a kind of algorithm of composite beamforming, which detaches the antenna array into two parts corresponding to optimization of different objective parameters respectively. New algorithm substitutes the previous complex fitness function with two simpler functions. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this method simplifies the selection of weighting parameters and reduces the complexity of calculation. Furthermore, the algorithm has better performance in lowering side lobe and interferences in comparison with conventional algorithms of beamforming in the case of slightly widening the main lobe.展开更多

In contrast to strut, pile-anchor retaining structure has its typical features and advantages. It does not occupy the internal space of the foundation pit, and the project cost is much lower. Accurate prediction of the lateral displacement of the retaining structure is very important in the design stage. A simplified analysis method and several calculation assumptions of the lateral deformation of pile-anchor retaining structures are set up according to the engineering features. The expression function of lateral displacement versus depth is solved by means of a fitted function and the quasi-elastic summation method. The parameters are obtained through the stiffness equation of the anchors and the principle of minimum potential energy. The analytical evaluation of the lateral deformation curve is then completed, whose applicability is proved through practical engineering.展开更多

文摘Mobile robot global path planning in a static environment is an important problem. The paper proposes a method of global path planning based on neural network and genetic algorithm. We constructed the neural network model of environmental information in the workspace for a robot and used this model to establish the relationship between a collision avoidance path and the output of the model. Then the two-dimensional coding for the path via-points was converted to one-dimensional one and the fitness of both the collision avoidance path and the shortest distance are integrated into a fitness function. The simulation results showed that the proposed method is correct and effective.
文摘Recently,vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs)finds applicability in different domains such as security,rescue operations,intelligent transportation systems(ITS),etc.VANET has unique features like high mobility,limited mobility patterns,adequate topologymodifications,and wireless communication.Despite the benefits of VANET,scalability is a challenging issue which could be addressed by the use of cluster-based routing techniques.It enables the vehicles to perform intercluster communication via chosen CHs and optimal routes.The main drawback of VANET network is the network unsteadiness that results in minimum lifetime.In order to avoid reduced network lifetime in VANET,this paper presents an enhanced metaheuristics based clustering with multihop routing technique for lifetime maximization(EMCMHR-LM)in VANET.The presented EMCMHR-LM model involves the procedure of arranging clusters,cluster head(CH)selection,and route selection appropriate for VANETs.The presentedEMCMHR-LMmodel uses slime mold optimization based clustering(SMO-C)technique to group the vehicles into clusters.Besides,an enhanced wild horse optimization based multihop routing(EWHO-MHR)protocol by the optimization of network parameters.The presented EMCMHR-LMmodel is simulated usingNetwork Simulator(NS3)tool and the simulation outcomes reported the enhanced performance of the proposed EMCMHR-LM technique over the other models.
文摘Particle filter(PF) can solve the problem of state estimation under strong non-linear non-Gaussian noise condition with respect to traditional Kalman filter(KF) and those improved KFs such as extended KF(EKF) and unscented KF(UKF). However, problems such as particle depletion and particle degradation affect the performance of PF. Optimizing the particle set to high likelihood region with intelligent optimization algorithm results in a more reasonable distribution of the sampling particles and more accurate state estimation. In this paper, a novel bird swarm algorithm based PF(BSAPF) is presented. Firstly, different behavior models are established by emulating the predation, flight, vigilance and follower behavior of the birds. Then, the observation information is introduced into the optimization process of the proposal distribution with the design of fitness function. In order to prevent particles from getting premature(being stuck into local optimum) and increase the diversity of particles, Lévy flight is designed to increase the randomness of particle's movement. Finally,the proposed algorithm is applied to estimate the speed of the train under the condition that the measurement noise of the wheel sensor is non-Gaussian distribution. Simulation study and experimental results both show that BSAPF is more accurate and has more effective particle number as compared with PF and UKF, demonstrating the promising performance of the method.

文摘In order to reduce the computation of complex problems, a new surrogate-assisted estimation of distribution algorithm with Gaussian process was proposed. Coevolution was used in dual populations which evolved in parallel. The search space was projected into multiple subspaces and searched by sub-populations. Also, the whole space was exploited by the other population which exchanges information with the sub-populations. In order to make the evolutionary course efficient, multivariate Gaussian model and Gaussian mixture model were used in both populations separately to estimate the distribution of individuals and reproduce new generations. For the surrogate model, Gaussian process was combined with the algorithm which predicted variance of the predictions. The results on six benchmark functions show that the new algorithm performs better than other surrogate-model based algorithms and the computation complexity is only 10% of the original estimation of distribution algorithm.
文摘Based on the bat algorithm(BA), this paper proposes a discrete BA(DBA) approach to optimize the disassembly sequence planning(DSP) problem, for the purpose of obtaining an optimum disassembly sequence(ODS) of a product with a high degree of automation and guiding maintenance operation. The BA for solving continuous problems is introduced, and combining with mathematical formulations, the BA is reformed to be the DBA for DSP problems. The fitness function model(FFM) is built to evaluate the quality of disassembly sequences. The optimization performance of the DBA is tested and verified by an application case, and the DBA is compared with the genetic algorithm(GA), particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm and differential mutation BA(DMBA). Numerical experiments show that the proposed DBA has a better optimization capability and provides more accurate solutions than the other three algorithms.

文摘In many real-world applications of evolutionary algorithms,the fitness of an individual requires a quantitative measure.This paper proposes a self-adaptive linear evolutionary algorithm （ALEA） in which we introduce a novel strategy for evaluating individual＇s relative strengths and weaknesses.Based on this strategy,searching space of constrained optimization problems with high dimensions for design variables is compressed into two-dimensional performance space in which it is possible to quickly identify ＇good＇ individuals of the performance for a multiobjective optimization application,regardless of original space complexity.This is considered as our main contribution.In addition,the proposed new evolutionary algorithm combines two basic operators with modification in reproduction phase,namely,crossover and mutation.Simulation results over a comprehensive set of benchmark functions show that the proposed strategy is feasible and effective,and provides good performance in terms of uniformity and diversity of solutions.
文摘The three-layer forward neural networks are used to establish the inverse kinematics models of robot manipulators. The fuzzy genetic algorithm based on the linear scaling of the fitness value is presented to update the weights of neural networks. To increase the search speed of the algorithm, the crossover probability and the mutation probability are adjusted through fuzzy control and the fitness is modified by the linear scaling method in FGA. Simulations show that the proposed method improves considerably the precision of the inverse kinematics solutions for robot manipulators and guarantees a rapid global convergence and overcomes the drawbacks of SGA and the BP algorithm.

文摘All the parameters of beamforming are usually optimized simultaneously in implementing the optimization of antenna array pattern with multiple objectives and parameters by genetic algorithms （GAs）. Firstly, this paper analyzes the performance of fitness functions of previous algorithms. It shows that original algorithms make the fitness functions too complex leading to large amount of calculation, and also the selection of the weight of parameters very sensitive due to many parameters optimized simultaneously. This paper proposes a kind of algorithm of composite beamforming, which detaches the antenna array into two parts corresponding to optimization of different objective parameters respectively. New algorithm substitutes the previous complex fitness function with two simpler functions. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that this method simplifies the selection of weighting parameters and reduces the complexity of calculation. Furthermore, the algorithm has better performance in lowering side lobe and interferences in comparison with conventional algorithms of beamforming in the case of slightly widening the main lobe.

文摘As one of the typical method for side channel attack,DPA has become a serious trouble for the security of encryption algorithm implementation.The potential capability of DPA attack induces researchers making a lot of efforts in this area,which significantly improved the attack efficiency of DPA.However,most of these efforts were made based on the hypothesis that the gathered power consumption data from the target device were stable and low noise.If large deviation happens in part of the power consumption data sample,the efficiency of DPA attack will be reduced rapidly.In this work,a highly efficient method for DPA attack is proposed with the inspiration of genetic algorithm.Based on the designed fitness function,power consumption data that is stable and less noisy will be selected and the noisy ones will be eliminated.In this way,not only improves the robustness and efficiency of DPA attack,but also reduces the number of samples needed.With experiments on block cipher algorithms of DES and SM4,10%and 12.5%of the number of power consumption curves have been reduced in average with the proposed DPAG algorithm compared to original DPA attack respectively.The high efficiency and correctness of the proposed algorithm and novel model are proved by experiments.
文摘In order to solve the problem between searching performance and convergence of genetic algorithms, a fast genetic algorithm generalized self-adaptive genetic algorithm (GSAGA) is presented. (1) Evenly distributed initial population is generated. (2) Superior individuals are not broken because of crossover and mutation operation for they are sent to subgeneration directly. (3) High quality im- migrants are introduced according to the condition of the population schema. (4) Crossover and mutation are operated on self-adaptation. Therefore, GSAGA solves the coordination problem between convergence and searching performance. In GSAGA, the searching per- formance and global convergence are greatly improved compared with many existing genetic algorithms. Through simulation, the val- idity of this modified genetic algorithm is proved.

文摘Pile-anchor retaining structure is widely used in foundation pit engineering and side slope engineering in many countries. In contrast to strut, pile-anchor retaining structure has its typical features and advantages. It does not occupy the internal space of the foundation pit, and the project cost is much lower. Accurate prediction of the lateral displacement of the retaining structure is very important in the design stage. A simplified analysis method and several calculation assumptions of the lateral deformation of pile-anchor retaining structures are set up according to the engineering features. The expression function of lateral displacement versus depth is solved by means of a fitted function and the quasi-elastic summation method. The parameters are obtained through the stiffness equation of the anchors and the principle of minimum potential energy. The analytical evaluation of the lateral deformation curve is then completed, whose applicability is proved through practical engineering.

文摘In recent times,internet of things(IoT)applications on the cloud might not be the effective solution for every IoT scenario,particularly for time sensitive applications.A significant alternative to use is edge computing that resolves the problem of requiring high bandwidth by end devices.Edge computing is considered a method of forwarding the processing and communication resources in the cloud towards the edge.One of the considerations of the edge computing environment is resource management that involves resource scheduling,load balancing,task scheduling,and quality of service(QoS)to accomplish improved performance.With this motivation,this paper presents new soft computing based metaheuristic algorithms for resource scheduling(RS)in the edge computing environment.The SCBMARS model involves the hybridization of the Group Teaching Optimization Algorithm(GTOA)with rat swarm optimizer(RSO)algorithm for optimal resource allocation.The goal of the SCBMA-RS model is to identify and allocate resources to every incoming user request in such a way,that the client’s necessities are satisfied with the minimum number of possible resources and optimal energy consumption.The problem is formulated based on the availability of VMs,task characteristics,and queue dynamics.The integration of GTOA and RSO algorithms assist to improve the allocation of resources among VMs in the data center.For experimental validation,a comprehensive set of simulations were performed using the CloudSim tool.The experimental results showcased the superior performance of the SCBMA-RS model interms of different measures.
