Therefore, it i...Attribute reduction in the rough set theory is an important feature selection method, but finding a minimum attribute reduction has been proven to be a non-deterministic polynomial （NP）-hard problem. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate some fast and effective approximate algorithms. A novel and enhanced quantum-inspired shuffled frog leaping based minimum attribute reduction algorithm （QSFLAR） is proposed. Evolutionary frogs are represented by multi-state quantum bits, and both quantum rotation gate and quantum mutation operators are used to exploit the mechanisms of frog population diversity and convergence to the global optimum. The decomposed attribute subsets are co-evolved by the elitist frogs with a quantum-inspired shuffled frog leaping algorithm. The experimental results validate the better feasibility and effectiveness of QSFLAR, comparing with some representa- tive algorithms. Therefore, QSFLAR can be considered as a more competitive algorithm on the efficiency and accuracy for minimum attribute reduction.展开更多

Installation costs of DSTATCOM devices and the cost of system operation, namely, energy loss cost due to both reconfiguration and DSTATCOM placement, are combined to form the objective function to be minimized. The distribution system tie switches, DSTATCOM location and size have been optimally determined to obtain an appropriate operational condition. In the proposed approach, the fuzzy membership function of loss sensitivity is used for the selection of weak nodes in the power system for the placement of DSTATCOM and the optimal parameter settings of the DFACTS device along with optimal selection of tie switches in reconfiguration process are governed by genetic algorithm(GA). Simulation results on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus test systems concluded that the combinatorial method using DSTATCOM and reconfiguration is preferable to reduce power losses to 34.44% for 33-bus system and to 45.43% for 69-bus system.展开更多

The reduced-order models obtained by the proposed method will always be stable if the original system is stable and produce a good approximation to the original system in both the frequency domain and time domain. Two numerical examples show that the method is cornputationally simple and efficient.展开更多

By utilizing the skew symmetry of system matrix, a very simple recurrence scheme, named gyroscopic Arnoldi reduction algorithm has been obtained, which is even simpler than the Lanczos algorithm for symmetric eigenvalue problems.

It has been found that the restart technique is not only effective for the convergence of multiple eigenvalues but it also furnishes the reduction algorithm with a technique to check and compute missed eigenvalues. By combining it with the restart technique, the algorithm is made practical for large-scale gyroscopic eigenvalue problems.

However,for complex problems in which large number of design variables are needed, the computational cost becomes prohibitive, and thus original global optimization strategies are required. To address this need, data dimensionality reduction method is combined with global optimization methods, thus forming a new global optimization system, aiming to improve the efficiency of conventional global optimization. The new optimization system involves applying Proper Orthogonal Decomposition（POD） in dimensionality reduction of design space while maintaining the generality of original design space. Besides, an acceleration approach for samples calculation in surrogate modeling is applied to reduce the computational time while providing sufficient accuracy. The optimizations of a transonic airfoil RAE2822 and the transonic wing ONERA M6 are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed new optimization system. In both cases, we manage to reduce the number of design variables from 20 to 10 and from 42 to 20 respectively. The new design optimization system converges faster and it takes 1/3 of the total time of traditional optimization to converge to a better design, thus significantly reducing the overall optimization time and improving the efficiency of conventional global design optimization method.展开更多

文摘At present,the active control of gear vibration mostly relies on existing algorithms.In order to achieve effective vibration reduction of the gear system,particularly during the vibration process,this paper proposes a multi-channel VSMFxLMS algorithm based on the FxLMS algorithm.This novel approach takes into account the time-varying nature of the vibration signal during gear vibration.Adaptive filter power coefficients are updated in a skip-tongue variable-step manner using momentum factors.Firstly,the paper establishes the dynamics model of the gear system and analyzes the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system.It then examines the vibration damping effect of the FxLMS algorithm and analyzes its performance under different gear system motion states,considering different step lengths and momentum factors.Lastly,the proposed VSMFxLMS algorithm is compared with the FxLMS algorithm,highlighting the superiority of the former.Overall,this research highlights the potential of a multi-channel VSMFxLMS algorithm in reducing vibrations in gear systems.The study optimizes the performance of gear systems while using advanced control strategies.
文摘The attribute reduction algorithms of decision table based on discernible matrix are required to construct discernible matrix, which reduces efficiency of algorithms. In this paper, the relationship between attribute discernible matrix and its discernibility is first established for general information systems. Based on the idea that the equivalent discernible matrix has a same attribute reduction, existing matrices are modified and a formula of attribute discernibility associated with algebraic reduction for decision table is proposed. A heuristic attribute reduction algorithm based on attribute discernibility is presented. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm can more easily explore an optimal or sub-optimal reduction, and is efficient.

文摘Structural damage detection is hard to conduct in large-scale civil structures due to enormous structural data and insufficient damage features.To improve this situation,a damage detection method based on model reduction and response reconstruction is presented.Based on the framework of two-step model updating including substructure-level localization and element-level detection,the response reconstruction strategy with an improved sensitivity algorithm is presented to conveniently complement modal information and promote the reliability of model updating.In the iteration process,the reconstructed response is involved in the sensitivity algorithm as a reconstruction-related item.Besides,model reduction is applied to reduce computational degrees of freedom(DOFs)in each detection step.A numerical truss bridge is modelled to vindicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the method.The results showed that the presented method reduces the requirement for installed sensors while improving efficiency and ensuring accuracy of damage detection compared to traditional methods.

文摘The original fault data of oil immersed transformer often contains a large number of unnecessary attributes,which greatly increases the elapsed time of the algorithm and reduces the classification accuracy,leading to the rise of the diagnosis error rate.Therefore,in order to obtain high quality oil immersed transformer fault attribute data sets,an improved imperialist competitive algorithm was proposed to optimize the rough set to discretize the original fault data set and the attribute reduction.The feasibility of the proposed algorithm was verified by experiments and compared with other intelligent algorithms.Results show that the algorithm was stable at the 27th iteration with a reduction rate of 56.25%and a reduction accuracy of 98%.By using BP neural network to classify the reduction results,the accuracy was 86.25%,and the overall effect was better than those of the original data and other algorithms.Hence,the proposed method is effective for fault attribute reduction of oil immersed transformer.
文摘An algorithm complexity, or its efficiency, meaning its time of evaluation is the focus of primary care in algorithmic problems solving. Raising the used memory may reduce the complexity of algorithm drastically. We present an example of two algorithms on finite set, where change the approach to the same problem and introduction a memory array allows decrease the complexity of the algorithm from the order O(n2) up to the order O(n).
文摘A computationally efficient soft-output detector with lattice-reduction （LR） for the multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） systems is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the sorted QR de- composition is applied on the lattice-reduced equivalent channel to obtain the tree structure. With the aid of the boundary control, the stack algorithm searches a small part of the whole search tree to generate a handful of candidate lists in the reduced lattice. The proposed soft-output algorithm achieves near-optimal perfor- mance in a coded MIMO system and the associated computational complexity is substantially lower than that of previously proposed methods.

文摘In aerodynamic optimization, global optimization methods such as genetic algorithms are preferred in many cases because of their advantage on reaching global optimum. However,for complex problems in which large number of design variables are needed, the computational cost becomes prohibitive, and thus original global optimization strategies are required. To address this need, data dimensionality reduction method is combined with global optimization methods, thus forming a new global optimization system, aiming to improve the efficiency of conventional global optimization. The new optimization system involves applying Proper Orthogonal Decomposition（POD） in dimensionality reduction of design space while maintaining the generality of original design space. Besides, an acceleration approach for samples calculation in surrogate modeling is applied to reduce the computational time while providing sufficient accuracy. The optimizations of a transonic airfoil RAE2822 and the transonic wing ONERA M6 are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed new optimization system. In both cases, we manage to reduce the number of design variables from 20 to 10 and from 42 to 20 respectively. The new design optimization system converges faster and it takes 1/3 of the total time of traditional optimization to converge to a better design, thus significantly reducing the overall optimization time and improving the efficiency of conventional global design optimization method.
