The construction yields an analog of Halton sequences for global function fields. It is the first general construction of (t, s)-sequences that is not directly based on the digital method. The construction can also be put into the framework of the theory of (u, e, s)-sequences that was recently introduced by Tezuka and leads in this way to better discrepancy bounds for the constructed sequences.展开更多

With more and more relevant research, it becomes a promising way used in unconstrained global optimization. Some filled functions with one or two parameters have already been suggested. However, there is no certain criterion to choose a parameter appropriately. In this paper, a parameter-free filled function was proposed. The definition of the original filled function and assumptions of the objective function given by Ge were improved according to the presented parameter-free filled function. The algorithm and numerical results of test functions were reported. Conclusions were drawn in the end. Key words global optimization - filled function method - local minimizer MSC 2000 90C30展开更多

The main advantages of the new filled function are that it not only can be analyzed easily, but also can be approximated uniformly by a continuously differentiable function. Thus, a minimizer of the proposed filled function can be obtained easily by using a local optimization algorithm. The obtained minimizer is taken as the initial point to minimize the objective function and a better minimizer will be found. By repeating the above processes, we will find a global minimizer at last. The results of numerical experiments show that the new proposed filled function method is effective.展开更多

A known point source is applied to the boundary of the domain, and it is assumed that the input data is obtained from the free-surface input data over a certain finite-length interval of the outer boundary. In the case when the boundary contour of the internal object is unknown, we propose a new algorithm to reconstruct its position and size on the basis of the input data. The key specific character of the proposed method is the construction of a special explicit-form Green's function satisfying the boundary condition over the outer boundary of the triangular domain. Some numerical examples demonstrate good stability of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

For two sets of activation functions, some algebraic criteria for ascertaining global exponential periodicity and global exponential stability of the class of recurrent neural networks are derived by using the comparison principle and the theory of monotone operator. These conditions are easy to check in terms of system parameters. In addition, we provide a new and efficacious method for the qualitative analysis of various neural networks.展开更多

A contact difference （CD） based on pseudo potential function, for simulating empirical contact potential functions and testing global minimization algorithm was proposed. The present article describes a conformational sampiing and global minimization algorithm, which is called WL, based on Monte Carlo simulation and simulated annealing. It can be used to locate CD＇s globe minimum and refold extended protein structures, as small as 0. 03 nm, from the native structures, back to ones with root mean square distance（RMSD）. These results demonstrate that the global minimization problems for empirical contact potential functions may be solvable.展开更多

We obtained the combined land-surface air and sea-surface water temperature from Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), NASA. The data are available for Global mean, Northern Hemisphere mean and Southern Hemisphere means (monthly, quarterly and annual) since 1880 to present (updated through March 2019). We analyze the global surface temperature change, compare alternative analyses, and address the questions about the reality of global warming. We detected the outliers during the last century not only in global temperature series but also in northern and southern hemisphere series. The forecasts for the next twenty years are obtained using SFTS models. These forecasts are compared with ARIMA, Random Walk with drift and Exponential Smoothing State Space (ETS) models. The comparison is made on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the length of prediction intervals.展开更多

Some new sufficient conditions were analytically established to ensure that this system has globally asymptotically stable equilibria and Hopf bifurcation surrounding interior equilibrium. In the analysis of Hopf bifurcation, based on the phenomenon of Turing instability and well-done conditions, the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation and an example incorporating with numerical simulations to support the existence of Hopf bifurcation is presented. We also derived a useful algorithm for determining direction of Hopf bifurcation and stability of bifurcating periodic solutions correspond to j ≠0 and j = 0, respectively. Finally, all these theoretical results are expected to be useful in the future study of dynamical complexity of ecological environment.展开更多
