However, for newly developing or developed mobile communication networks(MCN), only limited delay data can be obtained. In such a network, the delay is with epistemic uncertainty, which makes the traditional routing scheme based on deterministic theory or probability theory not applicable. Motivated by this problem, the MCN with epistemic uncertainty is first summarized as a dynamic uncertain network based on uncertainty theory, which is widely applied to model epistemic uncertainties. Then by modeling the uncertain end-toend delay, a new delay bounded routing scheme is proposed to find the path with the maximum belief degree that satisfies the delay threshold for the dynamic uncertain network. Finally, a lowEarth-orbit satellite communication network(LEO-SCN) is used as a case to verify the effectiveness of our routing scheme. It is first modeled as a dynamic uncertain network, and then the delay bounded paths with the maximum belief degree are computed and compared under different delay thresholds.展开更多

However, achieving online estimation with both high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed is challenging, especially when both the process noise and measurement noise covariance matrices are relatively inaccurate. Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) possesses the potential to achieve this goal, since its theoretical accuracy is guaranteed by asymptotic optimality and the convergence speed is fast due to weak dependence on accurate state estimation.Unfortunately, the maximum likelihood cost function is so intricate that the existing MLE methods can only simply ignore all historical measurement information to achieve online estimation,which cannot adequately realize the potential of MLE. In order to design online MLE-based AKFs with high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed, an online exploratory MLE approach is proposed, based on which a mini-batch coordinate descent noise covariance matrix estimation framework is developed. In this framework, the maximum likelihood cost function is simplified for online estimation with fewer and simpler terms which are selected in a mini-batch and calculated with a backtracking method. This maximum likelihood cost function is sidestepped and solved by exploring possible estimated noise covariance matrices adaptively while the historical measurement information is adequately utilized. Furthermore, four specific algorithms are derived under this framework to meet different practical requirements in terms of convergence speed, estimation accuracy,and calculation load. Abundant simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the validity and superiority of the proposed algorithms as compared with existing state-of-the-art AKFs.展开更多

PLKF has been a popular choice for solving BoT problems owing to the reduced computational complexity. However, the coupling between the measurement vector and pseudolinear noise causes bias in PLKF. To address this issue, a bias-compensated PLKF (BC-PLKF) under the assumption of Gaussian noise was formulated. However, this assumption may not be valid in most practical cases. Therefore, a bias-compensated PLKF with maximum correntropy criterion is introduced, resulting in two new filters: maximum correntropy pseudolinear Kalman filter (MC-PLKF) and maximum correntropy bias-compensated pseudolinear Kalman filter (MC-BC-PLKF). To demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimators, a comparative analysis assuming large outliers in the process and measurement model of 2D BoT is conducted. These large outliers are modeled as non-Gaussian noises with diverse noise distributions that combine Gaussian and Laplacian noises. The simulation results are validated using root mean square error (RMSE), average RMSE (ARMSE), percentage of track loss and bias norm. Compared to PLKF and BC-PLKF, all the proposed maximum correntropy-based filters (MC-PLKF and MC-BC-PLKF) performed with superior estimation accuracy.展开更多

文摘To investigate the effects of the maximum principal stress direction(θ)and cross-section shape on the failure characteristics of sandstone,true-triaxial compression experiments were conducted using cubic samples with rectangular,circular,and D-shaped holes.Asθincreases from 0°to 60°in the rectangular hole,the left failure location shifts from the left corner to the left sidewall,the left corner,and then the floor,while the right failure location shifts from the right corner to the right sidewall,right roof corner,and then the roof.Furthermore,the initial failure vertical stress first decreases and then increases.In comparison,the failure severity in the rectangular hole decreases for variousθvalues as 30°>45°>60°>0°.With increasingθ,the fractal dimension(D)of rock slices first increases and then decreases.For the rectangular and D-shaped holes,whenθ=0°,30°,and 90°,D for the rectangular hole is less than that of the D-shaped hole.Whenθ=45°and 60°,D for the rectangular hole is greater than that of the D-shaped hole.Theoretical analysis indicates that the stress concentration at the rectangular and D-shaped corners is greater than the other areas.The failure location rotates with the rotation ofθ,and the failure occurs on the side with a high concentration of compressive stress,while the side with the tensile and compressive stresses remains relatively stable.Therefore,the fundamental reason for the rotation of failure location is the rotation of stress concentration,and the external influencing factor is the rotation ofθ.

文摘Coal dust explosions are severe safety accidents in coal mine production,posing significant threats to life and property.Predicting the maximum explosion pressure(Pm)of coal dust using deep learning models can effectively assess potential risks and provide a scientific basis for preventing coal dust explosions.In this study,a 20-L explosion sphere apparatus was used to test the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust under seven different particle sizes and ten mass concentrations(Cdust),resulting in a dataset of 70 experimental groups.Through Spearman correlation analysis and random forest feature selection methods,particle size(D_(10),D_(20),D_(50))and mass concentration(Cdust)were identified as critical feature parameters from the ten initial parameters of the coal dust samples.Based on this,a hybrid Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network model incorporating a Multi-Head Attention Mechanism and the Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)was proposed to predict the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The results demonstrate that the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model excels in predicting the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The four evaluation metrics indicate that the model achieved a coefficient of determination(R^(2)),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),and mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.9841,0.0030,0.0074,and 0.0049,respectively,in the training set.In the testing set,these values were 0.9743,0.0087,0.0108,and 0.0069,respectively.Compared to artificial neural networks(ANN),random forest(RF),support vector machines(SVM),particle swarm optimized-SVM(PSO-SVM)neural networks,and the traditional single-model LSTM,the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model demonstrated superior generalization capability and prediction accuracy.The findings of this study not only advance the application of deep learning in coal dust explosion prediction but also provide robust technical support for the prevention and risk assessment of coal dust explosions.

文摘Let M_(n,p)=(X_(i,k))_(n×p)be an n×p random matrix whose p columns X^((1)),...,X^((p))are an n-dimensional i.i.d.random sample of size p from 1-dependent Gaussian populations.Instead of investigating the special case where p and n are comparable,we consider a much more general case in which log n=o(p^(1/3)).We prove that the maximum interpoint distance Mn=max{|X_(i)-X_(j)|;1≤i<j≤n}converges to an extreme-value distribution,where X_(i)and X_(j)denote the i-th and j-th row of M_(n,p),respectively.The proofs are completed by using the Chen-Stein Poisson approximation method and the moderation deviation principle.

文摘The presence of circles in the network maximum flow problem increases the complexity of the preflow algorithm.This study proposes a novel two-stage preflow algorithm to address this issue.First,this study proves that at least one zero-flow arc must be present when the flow of the network reaches its maximum value.This result indicates that the maximum flow of the network will remain constant if a zero-flow arc within a circle is removed;therefore,the maximum flow of each network without circles can be calculated.The first stage involves identifying the zero-flow arc in the circle when the network flow reaches its maximum.The second stage aims to remove the zero-flow arc identified and modified in the first stage,thereby producing a new network without circles.The maximum flow of the original looped network can be obtained by solving the maximum flow of the newly generated acyclic network.Finally,an example is provided to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of this algorithm.This algorithm not only improves computational efficiency but also provides new perspectives and tools for solving similar network optimization problems.

文摘Delay aware routing is now widely used to provide efficient network transmission. However, for newly developing or developed mobile communication networks(MCN), only limited delay data can be obtained. In such a network, the delay is with epistemic uncertainty, which makes the traditional routing scheme based on deterministic theory or probability theory not applicable. Motivated by this problem, the MCN with epistemic uncertainty is first summarized as a dynamic uncertain network based on uncertainty theory, which is widely applied to model epistemic uncertainties. Then by modeling the uncertain end-toend delay, a new delay bounded routing scheme is proposed to find the path with the maximum belief degree that satisfies the delay threshold for the dynamic uncertain network. Finally, a lowEarth-orbit satellite communication network(LEO-SCN) is used as a case to verify the effectiveness of our routing scheme. It is first modeled as a dynamic uncertain network, and then the delay bounded paths with the maximum belief degree are computed and compared under different delay thresholds.

文摘Research on changes in the redox conditions of bottom waters is essential for understanding deep water circulation,global ocean currents,climate change,and ecosystem health.Through sedimentary geological methods,a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between various environmental changes can be achieved,providing detailed evidence and theoretical support for global climate change research.The Ross Sea in Antarctica plays a key role in the formation of Antarctic bottom water(AABW),and the complex climate changes since the last glacial maximum(LGM)make it particularly significant for study.This research analyzes core ANT32-RB16C from the Ross Sea using geochemical proxies such as major and trace elements,grain size,and redox-sensitive indicators like Mn/Ti,Co/Ti,Mo/Ti,Cd/Ti,U/Th,and Ni/Co molar concentration ratios.Combining this data with a previously established chronological framework,the study explores the evolution of redox conditions in the Ross Sea’s deep waters since the LGM.The results show that the deep waters have remained oxygen-rich since the LGM,with significant changes in four stages.Stage 1(24.7–15.7 cal ka BP):Strong oxidizing conditions,likely due to enhanced formation of Ross Sea bottom water(RSBW),increasing oxygen levels.Stage 2(15.7–4.5 cal ka BP):Weakened oxidizing conditions as temperatures rose and ice shelves retreated,increasing primary productivity and depleting oxygen.Stage 3(4.5–1.5 cal ka BP):Continued decline in oxidizing conditions,possibly linked to high primary productivity and oxygen consumption.Stage 4(1.5 cal ka BP to present):A rapid recovery of oxidizing conditions,likely driven by temperature drops,increased RSBW formation,and decreased productivity.

文摘The annual maximum rainfall event(AMRE)refers to the maximum consecutive five-day rainfall in a year.In North China,these events account for 15%–80%of the total summer(June–August)rainfall amount and pose a great challenge for subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting.Based on data analyses during 1979–2023,this study shows the interannual variability of AMRE is significantly influenced by the phase and amplitude mode of the annual cycle of the East Asian summer monsoon(EASM),characterized by two orthogonal patterns of southeasterly winds at 850 h Pa over the northwestern Pacific.The EASM phase-locked AMRE shows heavy rainfall events occurring extremely early and late in Beijing and surrounding areas,corresponding to the peak southeasterly wind anomalies in June and August.The EASM amplitude-locked AMRE exhibits extreme heavy or light rainfall over southwest areas with normal phase.Therefore,AMRE has a potential predictability on the seasonal time scale due to its phase-and amplitude-locking with the slow variation of the annual cycle of the EASM.

文摘Over the past few decades, numerous adaptive Kalman filters(AKFs) have been proposed. However, achieving online estimation with both high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed is challenging, especially when both the process noise and measurement noise covariance matrices are relatively inaccurate. Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) possesses the potential to achieve this goal, since its theoretical accuracy is guaranteed by asymptotic optimality and the convergence speed is fast due to weak dependence on accurate state estimation.Unfortunately, the maximum likelihood cost function is so intricate that the existing MLE methods can only simply ignore all historical measurement information to achieve online estimation,which cannot adequately realize the potential of MLE. In order to design online MLE-based AKFs with high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed, an online exploratory MLE approach is proposed, based on which a mini-batch coordinate descent noise covariance matrix estimation framework is developed. In this framework, the maximum likelihood cost function is simplified for online estimation with fewer and simpler terms which are selected in a mini-batch and calculated with a backtracking method. This maximum likelihood cost function is sidestepped and solved by exploring possible estimated noise covariance matrices adaptively while the historical measurement information is adequately utilized. Furthermore, four specific algorithms are derived under this framework to meet different practical requirements in terms of convergence speed, estimation accuracy,and calculation load. Abundant simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the validity and superiority of the proposed algorithms as compared with existing state-of-the-art AKFs.

文摘As a frequently-observed phenomenon in the northern South China Sea(nSCS),subsurface chlorophyll maximum(SCM)evolution from summer to winter remains unclear,neither the associated hydrographic control.In this study,on the basis of in-situ data of fall-season cruises in 2004–2006,we characterized the depth,thickness and intensity of the SCM in the nSCS using a general Gaussian-function fitting approach,and investigated a linkage to the corresponding ocean vertical buoyance properties.Our results show that the SCM becomes deeper,thicker and less intense offshore-wards in the nSCS during fall seasons.In parallel,a correlation between the SCM variation and mixed layer depth exists in the nSCS,and it becomes pronounced in the shelf region compared to the slope and basin areas in autumn.Physically,once warmer surface ocean and thus stronger thermo-determined stratification,the SCM layer goes deeper and becomes thicker and less intense in the nSCS,especially in the shelf area of the nSCS.Moreover,the impact of water temperatures at deeper layers on the vertical stratification exerts more consequent roles on the spatial variability of SCM,compared to surface temperatures in the nSCS.Specifically,the isotherm line of 22℃ acts as crucial indicator for variations of the SCM in the nSCS during autumns.

文摘The quantum alternating operator ansatz algorithm(QAOA+)is widely used for constrained combinatorial optimization problems(CCOPs)due to its ability to construct feasible solution spaces.In this paper,we propose a progressive quantum algorithm(PQA)to reduce qubit requirements for QAOA+in solving the maximum independent set(MIS)problem.PQA iteratively constructs a subgraph likely to include the MIS solution of the original graph and solves the problem on it to approximate the global solution.Specifically,PQA starts with a small-scale subgraph and progressively expands its graph size utilizing heuristic expansion strategies.After each expansion,PQA solves the MIS problem on the newly generated subgraph using QAOA+.In each run,PQA repeats the expansion and solving process until a predefined stopping condition is reached.Simulation results show that PQA achieves an approximation ratio of 0.95 using only 5.57%(2.17%)of the qubits and 17.59%(6.43%)of the runtime compared with directly solving the original problem with QAOA+on Erd?s-Rényi(3-regular)graphs,highlighting the efficiency and scalability of PQA.
文摘This paper proposes a new approach for solving the bearings-only target tracking (BoT) problem by introducing a maximum correntropy criterion to the pseudolinear Kalman filter (PLKF). PLKF has been a popular choice for solving BoT problems owing to the reduced computational complexity. However, the coupling between the measurement vector and pseudolinear noise causes bias in PLKF. To address this issue, a bias-compensated PLKF (BC-PLKF) under the assumption of Gaussian noise was formulated. However, this assumption may not be valid in most practical cases. Therefore, a bias-compensated PLKF with maximum correntropy criterion is introduced, resulting in two new filters: maximum correntropy pseudolinear Kalman filter (MC-PLKF) and maximum correntropy bias-compensated pseudolinear Kalman filter (MC-BC-PLKF). To demonstrate the performance of the proposed estimators, a comparative analysis assuming large outliers in the process and measurement model of 2D BoT is conducted. These large outliers are modeled as non-Gaussian noises with diverse noise distributions that combine Gaussian and Laplacian noises. The simulation results are validated using root mean square error (RMSE), average RMSE (ARMSE), percentage of track loss and bias norm. Compared to PLKF and BC-PLKF, all the proposed maximum correntropy-based filters (MC-PLKF and MC-BC-PLKF) performed with superior estimation accuracy.

文摘Under the partial shading conditions(PSC)of Photovoltaic(PV)modules in a PV hybrid system,the power output curve exhibits multiple peaks.This often causes traditional maximum power point tracking(MPPT)methods to fall into local optima and fail to find the global optimum.To address this issue,a composite MPPT algorithm is proposed.It combines the improved kepler optimization algorithm(IKOA)with the optimized variable-step perturb and observe(OIP&O).The update probabilities,planetary velocity and position step coefficients of IKOA are nonlinearly and adaptively optimized.This adaptation meets the varying needs of the initial and later stages of the iterative process and accelerates convergence.During stochastic exploration,the refined position update formulas enhance diversity and global search capability.The improvements in the algorithmreduces the likelihood of falling into local optima.In the later stages,the OIP&O algorithm decreases oscillation and increases accuracy.compared with cuckoo search(CS)and gray wolf optimization(GWO),simulation tests of the PV hybrid inverter demonstrate that the proposed IKOA-OIP&O algorithm achieves faster convergence and greater stability under static,local and dynamic shading conditions.These results can confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed PV MPPT algorithm for PV hybrid systems.

文摘Flexural toppling occurs when a series of layered rock masses bend towards their free face.It is important to evaluate the maximum bending degree and the requirement of supports of flexural toppling rock mass to prevent rock mass cracking and even failure leading to a landslide.Based on the rock tensile strain-softening model,this study proposes a method for calculating the maximum curvature(C_(ppmax))of flexural toppling rock masses.By applying this method to calculate Cppmax of 9 types of rock masses with different hardness and rock layer thickness,some conclusions are drawn:(1)the internal key factors affecting C_(ppmax)are E^(⋆)(E^(⋆)=E_(ss)/E_(0),where E_(0)and E_(ss)are the mean deformation moduli of the rock before and after reaching its peak tensile strength,respectively),the strainεt corresponding to the tensile strength of rock,and the thickness(h)of rock layers;(2)hard rock layers are more likely to develop into block toppling than soft rock layers;and(3)thin rock layers are more likely to remain in flexural toppling state than thick rock layers.In addition,it is found that C_(ppmax)for flexural toppling rock masses composed of bedded rocks such as gneiss is related to the tensile direction.
