A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm is obtained for wind turbine blades. As an example, a 5 MW wind turbine blade design is presented by taking the maximum power coefficient and the minimum blade mass as the optimization objectives. The optimal results show that this algorithm has good performance in handling the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines, and it gives a Pareto-optimal solution set rather than the optimum solutions to the conventional multi objective optimization problems. The wind turbine blade optimization method presented in this paper provides a new and general algorithm for the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines.展开更多

文摘Community detection is one of the most fundamental applications in understanding the structure of complicated networks.Furthermore,it is an important approach to identifying closely linked clusters of nodes that may represent underlying patterns and relationships.Networking structures are highly sensitive in social networks,requiring advanced techniques to accurately identify the structure of these communities.Most conventional algorithms for detecting communities perform inadequately with complicated networks.In addition,they miss out on accurately identifying clusters.Since single-objective optimization cannot always generate accurate and comprehensive results,as multi-objective optimization can.Therefore,we utilized two objective functions that enable strong connections between communities and weak connections between them.In this study,we utilized the intra function,which has proven effective in state-of-the-art research studies.We proposed a new inter-function that has demonstrated its effectiveness by making the objective of detecting external connections between communities is to make them more distinct and sparse.Furthermore,we proposed a Multi-Objective community strength enhancement algorithm(MOCSE).The proposed algorithm is based on the framework of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Decomposition(MOEA/D),integrated with a new heuristic mutation strategy,community strength enhancement(CSE).The results demonstrate that the model is effective in accurately identifying community structures while also being computationally efficient.The performance measures used to evaluate the MOEA/D algorithm in our work are normalized mutual information(NMI)and modularity(Q).It was tested using five state-of-the-art algorithms on social networks,comprising real datasets(Zachary,Dolphin,Football,Krebs,SFI,Jazz,and Netscience),as well as twenty synthetic datasets.These results provide the robustness and practical value of the proposed algorithm in multi-objective community identification.

文摘Federated learning is a distributed framework that trains a centralised model using data from multiple clients without transferring that data to a central server.Despite rapid progress,federated learning still faces several unsolved challenges.Specifically,communication costs and system heterogeneity,such as nonidentical data distribution,hinder federated learning's progress.Several approaches have recently emerged for federated learning involving heterogeneous clients with varying computational capabilities(namely,heterogeneous federated learning).However,heterogeneous federated learning faces two key challenges:optimising model size and determining client selection ratios.Moreover,efficiently aggregating local models from clients with diverse capabilities is crucial for addressing system heterogeneity and communication efficiency.This paper proposes an evolutionary multiobjective optimisation framework for heterogeneous federated learning(MOHFL)to address these issues.Our approach elegantly formulates and solves a biobjective optimisation problem that minimises communication cost and model error rate.The decision variables in this framework comprise model sizes and client selection ratios for each Q client cluster,yielding a total of 2×Q optimisation parameters to be tuned.We develop a partition-based strategy for MOHFL that segregates clients into clusters based on their communication and computation capabilities.Additionally,we implement an adaptive model sizing mechanism that dynamically assigns appropriate subnetwork architectures to clients based on their computational constraints.We also propose a unified aggregation framework to combine models of varying sizes from heterogeneous clients effectively.Extensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed method compared to existing approaches.

文摘Vehicle Edge Computing(VEC)and Cloud Computing(CC)significantly enhance the processing efficiency of delay-sensitive and computation-intensive applications by offloading compute-intensive tasks from resource-constrained onboard devices to nearby Roadside Unit(RSU),thereby achieving lower delay and energy consumption.However,due to the limited storage capacity and energy budget of RSUs,it is challenging to meet the demands of the highly dynamic Internet of Vehicles(IoV)environment.Therefore,determining reasonable service caching and computation offloading strategies is crucial.To address this,this paper proposes a joint service caching scheme for cloud-edge collaborative IoV computation offloading.By modeling the dynamic optimization problem using Markov Decision Processes(MDP),the scheme jointly optimizes task delay,energy consumption,load balancing,and privacy entropy to achieve better quality of service.Additionally,a dynamic adaptive multi-objective deep reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed.Each Double Deep Q-Network(DDQN)agent obtains rewards for different objectives based on distinct reward functions and dynamically updates the objective weights by learning the value changes between objectives using Radial Basis Function Networks(RBFN),thereby efficiently approximating the Pareto-optimal decisions for multiple objectives.Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can better coordinate the three-tier computing resources of cloud,edge,and vehicles.Compared to existing algorithms,the proposed method reduces task delay and energy consumption by 10.64%and 5.1%,respectively.

文摘Spaceborne antennas are essential for remote sensing,deep-space communication,and Earth observation,yet their trajectory planning is complicated by nonlinear base-manipulator coupling and antenna flexibility.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a multi-objective trajectory optimization framework.The system dynamics capture both nonlinear rigid-flexible coupling and antenna deformation through a reduced-order formulation.To enhance discretization efficiency,a predictive-terminal hp-adaptive pseudospectral method is employed,assigning collocation density based on task-phase characteristics:finer resolution is applied to dynamic segments requiring higher accuracy,especially near the terminal phase.This enables efficient transcription of the continuous-time problem into a Nonlinear Programming Problem(NLP).The resulting NLP is then solved using a multi-objective optimization strategy based on the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II,which explores trade-offs among antenna pointing accuracy,energy consumption,and structural vibration.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a reduction of approximately 14.0% in control energy and 41.8%in peak actuation compared to a GPOPS-II baseline,while significantly enhancing vibration suppression.The resulting Pareto front reveals structured trade-offs and clustered solutions,offering robust and diverse options for precision,low-disturbance mission planning.

文摘Gangue is inevitably mixed with coal during mining and transportation.Currently,the manual sorting and conventional mechanical separation technologies widely adopted in the coal mining industry are plagued by low efficiency,poor identification accuracy,severe environmental pollution,and other drawbacks.This paper proposes a machine vision-based intelligent coal gangue sorting robot system.Firstly,the OpenMV captures images of coal gangue and utilizes the MobileNetV20.35 lightweight convolutional neural network to train the FOMO(Faster Objects,More Objects)target detection model in the cloud.This enables prediction and recognition of gangue,along with the acquisition of its center point pixel coordinates.Secondly,the position information of the gangue is sent to the STM32 microcontroller using the serial communication protocol for coordinate system conversion,pose algorithm,and path planning.Finally,the STM32 microcontroller controls the start and stop of the conveyor belt through the working status of the relay.When the relay is absorbed,the conveyor belt stops,and at the same time,the robotic arm grasps the gangue for transfer action,thus realizing the sorting of coal and gangue.The experimental results demonstrate that the cloud-trained FOMO neural network model achieves an F1 score of 95.5%and a recall of 91.3%,with a test accuracy of 97.56%.The quantified model deployed on OpenMV can accurately identify multiple gangues and output their position information.The success rate of the robotic arm in tracking and sorting gangue reaches 90.13%,and the positioning error of the robotic arm is[9,12.5]mm.This system realizes high-precision identification,positioning,and intelligent sorting of coal and gangue,meeting the basic requirements for gangue sorting in coal mines.

文摘Rapid urbanization in China has led to spatial antagonism between urban development and farmland protection and ecological security maintenance.Multi-objective spatial collaborative optimization is a powerful method for achieving sustainable regional development.Previous studies on multi-objective spatial optimization do not involve spatial corrections to simulation results based on the natural endowment of space resources.This study proposes an Ecological Security-Food Security-Urban Sustainable Development(ES-FS-USD)spatial optimization framework.This framework combines the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II(NSGA-II)and patch-generating land use simulation(PLUS)model with an ecological protection importance evaluation,comprehensive agricultural productivity evaluation,and urban sustainable development potential assessment and optimizes the territorial space in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region in 2035.The proposed sustainable development(SD)scenario can effectively reduce the destruction of landscape patterns of various land-use types while considering both ecological and economic benefits.The simulation results were further revised by evaluating the land-use suitability of the YRD region.According to the revised spatial pattern for the YRD in 2035,the farmland area accounts for 43.59%of the total YRD,which is 5.35%less than that in 2010.Forest,grassland,and water area account for 40.46%of the total YRD—an increase of 1.42%compared with the case in 2010.Construction land accounts for 14.72%of the total YRD—an increase of 2.77%compared with the case in 2010.The ES-FS-USD spatial optimization framework ensures that spatial optimization outcomes are aligned with the natural endowments of land resources,thereby promoting the sustainable use of land resources,improving the ability of spatial management,and providing valuable insights for decision makers.

文摘The rapid growth of mobile and Internet of Things(IoT)applications in dense urban environments places stringent demands on future Beyond 5G(B5G)or Beyond 6G(B6G)networks,which must ensure high Quality of Service(QoS)while maintaining cost-efficiency and sustainable deployment.Traditional strategies struggle with complex 3D propagation,building penetration loss,and the balance between coverage and infrastructure cost.To address this challenge,this study presents the first application of a Global-best Guided Quantum-inspired Tabu Search with Quantum-Not Gate(GQTS-QNG)framework for 3D base-station deployment optimization.The problem is formulated as a multi-objective model that simultaneously maximizes coverage and minimizes deployment cost.A binary-to-decimal encodingmechanism is designed to represent discrete placement coordinates and base station types,leveraging a quantum-inspired method to efficiently search and refine solutions within challenging combinatorial environments.Global-best guidance and tabu memory are integrated to strengthen convergence stability and avoid revisiting previously explored solutions.Simulation results across user densities ranging from 1000 to 10,000 show that GQTS-QNG consistently finds deployment configurations achieving full coverage while reducing deployment cost compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms under equal iteration times.Additionally,our method generates welldistributed and structured Pareto fronts,offering diverse planning options that allow operators to flexibly balance cost and performance requirements.These findings demonstrate that GQTS-QNG is a scalable and efficient algorithm for sustainable 3D cellular network deployment in B5G/6G urban scenarios.

文摘Background:Mastitis seriously affects the mammary health of humans and animals.Studies have found that inflammation and oxidative stress play key roles in the occur-rence and development of mastitis.Therefore,in-depth research on related molecular mechanisms is of great significance.Methods:Postpartum mice were anesthetized with pentobarbital and administered lipopolysaccharide to develop the mouse mastitis model.Proteomic analysis was per-formed to compare protein expression in mitochondria-associated endoplasmic retic-ulum membranes(MAM)from two mouse mammary gland groups.Western blot was used to detect the expression of MAM-related proteins in mitochondria.AlphaFold3 was used to predict the molecular structures of phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2(PACS2)and mitofusin 2(MFN2)and their interaction levels.The MFN2-PACS2 interaction was investigated using co-immunoprecipitation and small interfer-ing RNA.Results:The results showed that the inflammation level in the mammary gland tissue of mice with mastitis significantly increased,the total antioxidant capacity decreased,and the expression of MAM-related proteins MFN2 and PACS2 was significantly downregulated.In cell experiments,overexpression of MFN2 can inhibit inflamma-tion and oxidative stress responses,and promote the interaction between MFN2 and PACS2 to affect the formation of MAMs.Conclusion:In summary,this study suggests that mastitis can alter the expression of MAM-related proteins in mouse breast tissue.The interaction between MFN2 and PACS2 regulates the formation of MAMs.Overexpression of MFN2 can promote the formation of MAMs and inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress response in mam-mary epithelial cells.Our results provided a new theoretical basis and potential thera-peutic targets for the prevention and treatment of mastitis.

文摘The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm （NSGA） is improved with the controlled elitism and dynamic crowding distance. A novel multi-objective optimization algorithm is obtained for wind turbine blades. As an example, a 5 MW wind turbine blade design is presented by taking the maximum power coefficient and the minimum blade mass as the optimization objectives. The optimal results show that this algorithm has good performance in handling the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines, and it gives a Pareto-optimal solution set rather than the optimum solutions to the conventional multi objective optimization problems. The wind turbine blade optimization method presented in this paper provides a new and general algorithm for the multi-objective optimization of wind turbines.

文摘Through the transformation of hydraulic constraints into the objective functions associated with a water supply network rehabilitation problem, a non-dominated sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) can be used to solve the altered multi-objective optimization model. The introduction of NSGA-II into water supply network optimal rehabilitation problem solves the conflict between one fitness value of standard genetic algorithm (SGA) and multi-objectives of rehabilitation problem. And the uncertainties brought by using weight coefficients or punish functions in conventional methods are controlled. And also by in-troduction of artificial inducement mutation (AIM) operation, the convergence speed of population is accelerated;this operation not only improves the convergence speed, but also improves the rationality and feasibility of solutions.
文摘A multi-objective optimization of oil well drilling has been carried out using a binary coded elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm.A Louisiana offshore field with abnormal formation pressure is considered for optimization.Several multi-objective optimization problems involving twoand three-objective functions were formulated and solved to fix optimal drilling variables.The important objectives are：（i） maximizing drilling depth,（ii） minimizing drilling time and （iii） minimizing drilling cost with fractional drill bit tooth wear as a constraint.Important time dependent decision variables are：（i） equivalent circulation mud density,（ii） drill bit rotation,（iii） weight on bit and （iv） Reynolds number function of circulating mud through drill bit nozzles.A set of non-dominated optimal Pareto frontier is obtained for the two-objective optimization problem whereas a non-dominated optimal Pareto surface is obtained for the three-objective optimization problem.Depending on the trade-offs involved,decision makers may select any point from the optimal Pareto frontier or optimal Pareto surface and hence corresponding values of the decision variables that may be selected for optimal drilling operation.For minimizing drilling time and drilling cost,the optimum values of the decision variables are needed to be kept at the higher values whereas the optimum values of decision variables are at the lower values for the maximization of drilling depth.

文摘Robot manipulators perform a point-point task under kinematic and dynamic constraints.Due to multi-degreeof-freedom coupling characteristics,it is difficult to find a better desired trajectory.In this paper,a multi-objective trajectory planning approach based on an improved elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(INSGA-II)is proposed.Trajectory function is planned with a new composite polynomial that by combining of quintic polynomials with cubic Bezier curves.Then,an INSGA-II,by introducing three genetic operators:ranking group selection(RGS),direction-based crossover(DBX)and adaptive precision-controllable mutation(APCM),is developed to optimize travelling time and torque fluctuation.Inverted generational distance,hypervolume and optimizer overhead are selected to evaluate the convergence,diversity and computational effort of algorithms.The optimal solution is determined via fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to obtain the optimal trajectory.Taking a serial-parallel hybrid manipulator as instance,the velocity and acceleration profiles obtained using this composite polynomial are compared with those obtained using a quintic B-spline method.The effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method are verified by simulation results.This research proposes a trajectory optimization method which can offer a better solution with efficiency and stability for a point-to-point task of robot manipulators.

文摘Due to the intermittency and instability of Wind-Solar energy and easy compensation of hydropower, this study proposes a Wind-Solar-Hydro power optimal scheduling model. This model is aimed at maximizing the total system power generation and the minimum ten-day joint output. To effectively optimize the multi-objective model, a new algorithm named non-dominated sorting culture differential evolution algorithm(NSCDE) is proposed. The feasibility of NSCDE was verified through several well-known benchmark problems. It was then applied to the Jinping Wind-Solar-Hydro complementary power generation system. The results demonstrate that NSCDE can provide decision makers a series of optimized scheduling schemes.

文摘With the continuous increase of rapid urbanization and population growth,sustainable urban land-use planning is becoming a more complex and challenging task for urban planners and decision-makers.Multi-objective land-use allocation can be regarded as a complex spatial optimization problem that aims to achieve the possible trade-offs among multiple and conflicting objectives.This paper proposes an improved Non-dominated Sorting Biogeography-Based Optimization(NSBBO)algorithm for solving the multi-objective land-use allocation problem,in which maximum accessibility,maximum compactness,and maximum spatial integration were formulated as spatial objectives;and space syntax analysis was used to analyze the potential movement patterns in the new urban planning area of the city of Kigali,Rwanda.Efficient Non-dominated Sorting(ENS)algorithm and crossover operator were integrated into classical NSBBO to improve the quality of non-dominated solutions,and local search ability,and to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm.The results showed that the proposed NSBBO exhibited good optimal solutions with a high hypervolume index compared to the classical NSBBO.Furthermore,the proposed algorithm could generate optimal land use scenarios according to the preferred objectives,thus having the potential to support the decision-making of urban planners and stockholders in revising and updating the existing detailed master plan of land use.

文摘A multi-objective optimization process for wind turbine steel towers is described in present work.The objective functions are tower top deformation and mass.The tower's height,radius and thickness are considered as design variables.The mathematical relationships between objective functions and variables were predicted by adopting a response surface methodology(RSM).Furthermore,the multi-objective non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II(NSGA-II)is adopted to optimize the tower structure to achieve accurate results with the minimum top deformation and total mass.A case study on a 2MW wind turbine tower optimization is given,which computes the desired tower structure parameters.The results are compared with the original tower:a reduction of tower top deformation reduction by about 16.5%and a reduction of a mass by about 1.5%could be achieved for such an optimization process.
文摘This paper uses the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm(BOA)with dominated sorting and crowding distance mechanisms to solve multi-objective optimization problems.There is also an improvement to the original version of BOA to alleviate its drawbacks before extending it into a multi-objective version.Due to better coverage and a well-distributed Pareto front,non-dominant rankings are applied to the modified BOA using the crowding distance strategy.Seven benchmark functions and eight real-world problems have been used to test the performance of multi-objective non-dominated advanced BOA(MONSBOA),including unconstrained,constrained,and real-world design multiple-objective,highly nonlinear constraint problems.Various performance metrics,such as Generational Distance(GD),Inverted Generational Distance(IGD),Maximum Spread(MS),and Spacing(S),have been used for performance comparison.It is demonstrated that the new MONSBOA algorithm is better than the compared algorithms in more than 80%occasions in solving problems with a variety of linear,nonlinear,continuous,and discrete characteristics based on the Pareto front when compared quantitatively.From all the analysis,it may be concluded that the suggested MONSBOA is capable of producing high-quality Pareto fronts with very competitive results with rapid convergence.
