Based on the relationship between the iteration formulae, a new iteration formula is introduced, which leads the correction operation to be several simple shifting and adding operations. As one key part, the effects caused by rounding error are analyzed mathematically and it is concluded that the effects can be degraded by an appropriate selection of coefficients in the iteration formula. The model is then set up in Matlab and coded in Verilog HDL language. The proposed algorithm is also synthesized and verified in field-programmable gate array （FPGA）. The results show that this new scheme requires only one additional clock cycle and there is no change in the elementary iteration for the same precision compared with the conventional algorithm. In addition, the circuit realization is regular and the change in system throughput is very minimal.展开更多

One is an on line fuzzy inference system, and the other is a conventional PID controller. In the fuzzy inference system, three adjustable factors x p, x i , and x d are introduced. Their functions are to further modify and optimize the result of the fuzzy inference so as to make the controller have the optimal control effect on a given object. The optimal values of these adjustable factors are determined based on the ITAE criterion and the Nelder and Mead′s flexible polyhedron search algorithm. This optimal fuzzy PID controller has been used to control the executive motor of the intelligent artificial leg designed by the authors. The result of computer simulation indicates that this controller is very effective and can be widely used to control different kinds of objects and processes.展开更多

However, the computational cost associated with the use of GA has yet to be discussed. In this study, the parameters of sixteen explicit models for the estimation of friction factor in the turbulent flow regime were optimized using two popular global search methods namely genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). Based on 1000 interval values of Reynolds number (Re) in the range of and 100 interval values of relative roughness () in the range of , corresponding friction factor (f) data were obtained by solving Colebrook-White equation using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. These data were then used to modify the parameters of the selected explicit models. Although both GA and SA led to either moderate or significant improvements in the accuracies of the existing friction factor models, SA outperforms the GA. Moreover, the SA requires far less computational time than the GA to complete the corresponding optimization process. It can therefore be concluded that SA is a better global optimizer than GA in the process of finding an improved explicit friction factor model as an alternative to the implicit Colebrook-White equation in the turbulent flow regime.展开更多

文摘A non-negative latent factor(NLF)model is able to be built efficiently via a single latent factor-dependent,non-negative and multiplicative update(SLF-NMU)algorithm for performing precise representation to high-dimensional and incomplete(HDI)matrix from many kinds of big-data-related applications.However,an SLF-NMU algorithm updates a latent factor relying on the current update increment only without considering past learning information,making a resultant model suffer from slow convergence.To address this issue,this study proposes a proportional integral(PI)controller-enhanced NLF(PI-NLF)model with two-fold ideas:1)Designing an increment refinement(IR)mechanism,which formulates the current and past update increments as the proportional and integral terms of a PI controller,thereby assimilating the past update information into the learning scheme smoothly with high efficiency;2)Deriving an IR-based SLF-NMU(ISN)algorithm,which updates a latent factor following the principle of an IR mechanism,thus significantly accelerating an NLF model's convergence rate.The simulation results on eight HDI matrices collected by real applications validate that a PI-NLF model outstrips several leading-edge models in both computational efficiency and accuracy when estimating missing data within an HDI matrix.The proposed PI-NLF model can be effectively applied to applications involving HDI matrix like e-commerce system,social network,and cloud service system.The code is available at https://github.com/yuanyeswu/PINLF/blob/mainIPINLF-code.zip.
