If a single sensor fails, the radiation power pattern of the entire array is disturbed in terms of sidelobe level(SLL) and null depth level(NDL), and nulls are damaged and shifted from their original locations. All these issues can be solved by designing a new fitness function to reduce the error between the preferred and expected radiation power patterns and the null limitations. The hybrid algorithm has been designed to control the array's faulty radiation power pattern. Antenna arrays composed of 21 sensors are used in an example simulation scenario. The MATLAB simulation results confirm the good performance of the proposed method, compared with the existing methods in terms of SLL and NDL.展开更多

文摘Extreme Learning Machine(ELM)is popular in batch learning,sequential learning,and progressive learning,due to its speed,easy integration,and generalization ability.While,Traditional ELM cannot train massive data rapidly and efficiently due to its memory residence,high time and space complexity.In ELM,the hidden layer typically necessitates a huge number of nodes.Furthermore,there is no certainty that the arrangement of weights and biases within the hidden layer is optimal.To solve this problem,the traditional ELM has been hybridized with swarm intelligence optimization techniques.This paper displays five proposed hybrid Algorithms“Salp Swarm Algorithm(SSA-ELM),Grasshopper Algorithm(GOA-ELM),Grey Wolf Algorithm(GWO-ELM),Whale optimizationAlgorithm(WOA-ELM)andMoth Flame Optimization(MFO-ELM)”.These five optimizers are hybridized with standard ELM methodology for resolving the tumor type classification using gene expression data.The proposed models applied to the predication of electricity loading data,that describes the energy use of a single residence over a fouryear period.In the hidden layer,Swarm algorithms are used to pick a smaller number of nodes to speed up the execution of ELM.The best weights and preferences were calculated by these algorithms for the hidden layer.Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed MFO-ELM achieved 98.13%accuracy and this is the highest model in accuracy in tumor type classification gene expression data.While in predication,the proposed GOA-ELM achieved 0.397which is least RMSE compared to the other models.

文摘Rubber producers,consumers,traders,and those who are involved in the rubber industry face major risks of rubber price fluctuations.As a result,decision-makers are required to make an accurate estimation of the price of rubber.This paper aims to propose hybrid intelligent models,which can be utilized to forecast the price of rubber in Malaysia by employing monthly Malaysia’s rubber pricing data,spanning from January 2016 to March 2021.The projected hybrid model consists of different algorithms with the symbolic Radial Basis Functions Neural Network k-Satisfiability Logic Mining(RBFNN-kSAT).These algorithms,including Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm,Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm,and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm were utilized in the forecasting data analysis.Several factors,which affect the monthly price of rubber,such as rubber production,total exports of rubber,total imports of rubber,stocks of rubber,currency exchange rate,and crude oil prices were also considered in the analysis.To evaluate the results of the introduced model,a comparison has been conducted for each model to identify the most optimum model for forecasting the price of rubber.The findings showed that GWO with RBFNN-kSAT represents the most accurate and efficient model compared with ABC with RBFNNkSAT and PSO with RBFNN-kSAT in forecasting the price of rubber.The GWO with RBFNN-kSAT obtained the greatest average accuracy(92%),with a better correlation coefficient R=0.983871 than ABC with RBFNN-kSAT and PSO with RBFNN-kSAT.Furthermore,the empirical results of this study provided several directions for policymakers to make the right decision in terms of devising proper measures in the industry to address frequent price changes so that the Malaysian rubber industry maintains dominance in the international markets.

文摘In this study,a dynamic model for an inverted pendulum system(IPS)attached to a car is created,and two different control methods are applied to control the system.The designed control algorithms aim to stabilize the pendulum arms in the upright position and the car to reach the equilibrium position.Grey Wolf Optimization-based Linear Quadratic Regulator(GWO-LQR)and GWO-based Fuzzy LQR(FLQR)control algorithms are used in the control process.To improve the performance of the LQR and FLQR methods,the optimum values of the coefficients corresponding to the foot points of the membership functions are determined by the GWO algorithm.Both a graphic and a numerical analysis of the outcomes are provided.In the comparative analysis,it is observed that the GWO-based FLQR method reduces the settling time by 22.58% and the maximum peak value by 18.2% when evaluated in terms of the angular response of the pendulum arm.Furthermore,this approach outperformed comparable research in the literature with a settling time of 2.4 s.These findings demonstrate that the suggested GWO-based FLQR controlmethod outperforms existing literature in terms of the time required for the pendulum arm to reach equilibrium.

文摘We design a grey wolf optimizer hybridized with an interior point algorithm to correct a faulty antenna array. If a single sensor fails, the radiation power pattern of the entire array is disturbed in terms of sidelobe level(SLL) and null depth level(NDL), and nulls are damaged and shifted from their original locations. All these issues can be solved by designing a new fitness function to reduce the error between the preferred and expected radiation power patterns and the null limitations. The hybrid algorithm has been designed to control the array's faulty radiation power pattern. Antenna arrays composed of 21 sensors are used in an example simulation scenario. The MATLAB simulation results confirm the good performance of the proposed method, compared with the existing methods in terms of SLL and NDL.

文摘Location information plays an important role in most of the applications in Wireless Sensor Network(WSN).Recently,many localization techniques have been proposed,while most of these deals with two Dimensional applications.Whereas,in Three Dimensional applications the task is complex and there are large variations in the altitude levels.In these 3D environments,the sensors are placed in mountains for tracking and deployed in air for monitoring pollution level.For such applications,2D localization models are not reliable.Due to this,the design of 3D localization systems in WSNs faces new challenges.In this paper,in order to find unknown nodes in Three-Dimensional environment,only single anchor node is used.In the simulation-based environment,the nodes with unknown locations are moving at middle&lower layers whereas the top layer is equipped with single anchor node.A novel soft computing technique namely Adaptive Plant Propagation Algorithm(APPA)is introduced to obtain the optimized locations of these mobile nodes.Thesemobile target nodes are heterogeneous and deployed in an anisotropic environment having an Irregularity(Degree of Irregularity(DOI))value set to 0.01.The simulation results present that proposed APPAalgorithm outperforms as tested among other meta-heuristic optimization techniques in terms of localization error,computational time,and the located sensor nodes.
文摘This study proposes a control algorithm based on synchronous reference frame theory with unit templates instead of a phase locked loop for grid-connected photovoltaic(PV)solar system,comprising solar PV panels,DC-DC converter,controller for maximum power point tracking,resistance capacitance ripple filter,insulated-gate bipolar transistor based controller,interfacing inductor,linear and nonlinear loads.The dynamic performance of the grid connected solar system depends on the effect operation of the control algorithm,comprising two proportional-integral controllers.These controllers estimate the reference solar-grid currents,which in turn generate pulses for the three-leg voltage source converter.The grey wolf optimization algorithm is used to optimize the controller gains of the proportional-integral controllers,resulting in excellent performance compared to that of existing optimization algorithms.The compensation for neutral current is provided by a star-delta transformer(non-isolated),and the proposed solar PV grid system provides zero voltage regulation and eliminates harmonics,in addition to load balancing.Maximum power extraction from the solar panel is achieved using the incremental conductance algorithm for the DC-DC converter supplying solar power to the DC bus capacitor,which in turn supplies this power to the grid with improved dynamics and quality.The solar system along with the control algorithm and controller is modeled using Simulink in Matlab 2019.
文摘Gene regulatory network inference helps understand the regulatory mechanism among genes, predict the functions of unknown genes, comprehend the pathogenesis of disease and speed up drug development. In this paper, a Hill function-based ordinary differential equation (ODE) model is proposed to infer gene regulatory network (GRN). A hybrid evolutionary algorithm based on binary grey wolf optimization (BGWO) and grey wolf optimization (GWO) is proposed to identify the structure and parameters of the Hill function-based model. In order to restrict the search space and eliminate the redundant regulatory relationships, L1 regularizer was added to the fitness function. SOS repair network was used to test the proposed method. The experimental results show that this method can infer gene regulatory network more accurately than state of the art methods.
