This paper investigates the cooperative relationships among supply chain enterprises from the perspective of complex networks.Employing methodologies such as the gravity model and Moran's I analysis, it explores the spatial structural characteristics and correlation patterns of the power battery supply network in China and discusses the influencing factors using the quadratic assignment procedure,revealing the mechanisms behind the differences in the spatial distributions of the power battery supply network. The results indicate that the distribution of power battery enterprises is densely concentrated in the eastern and southern regions, whereas the western region has a sparse distribution. The spatial supply network consists of a four-tier linkage system, encompassing 135 prefecture-level cities, with Chongqing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and other cities particularly prominent. Overall, the degree of agglomeration is low, with coastal cities dominating the landscape and inland cities serving as complementary regions. Most areas are characterized as insignificant or low-high regions, and the regional linkage effect of core cities is not pronounced. There is a notable lack of significance and high spatial heterogeneity.Four types of factors—spatial factors, market factors, agglomeration economies, and innovation levels—jointly influence and shape the spatial structure of the power battery supply network.展开更多

The proposed method combines control barrier functions and control Lyapunov functions with a nonlinear extended state observer to produce a robust and safe control strategy for dynamic systems subject to uncertainties and disturbances. This control strategy employs an optimization-based control, supported by the disturbance estimation from a nonlinear extended state observer. Using a quadratic programming algorithm, the controller computes an optimal, stable, and safe control action at each sampling instant. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical simulations of a safety-critical interconnected adaptive cruise control system.展开更多

文摘Land use sustainability is a pivotal concern in contemporary ecological protection efforts,necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the ramifications of changes in land use intensity(LUI)on ecosystem services(ESs).Although ecological control zoning typically emphasizes ES outcomes,it tends to overlook the impacts of human activity intensity.This research focuses on the Yellow River Basin and integrates various data sources,encompassing land use,meteorological,soil,and socioeconomic data from 1980 to 2020.Using the InVEST model,quadratic polynomial fitting,and cluster analysis,this work evaluates the spatiotemporal changes and zoning characteristics of LUI and three ESs—water yield,soil conservation,and habitat quality—to explore the influence of LUI changes on ESs.The results indicate that from 1980 to 2020,LUI shows a sustained increase with considerable spatial heterogeneity,gradually intensifying from upstream to downstream areas.The interannual variability of ESs is minimal,with substantial local fluctuations but overall minor changes.LUI correlates positively with ESs.Based on regional ESs,the Yellow River Basin is categorized into four primary ecological function zones:ecological restoration,ecological pressure,ecological sustainability,and ecological conservation.Considering LUI characteristics,this categorization is further refined into six secondary function zones:ecological restoration,ecological transition,ecological overload,potential development,eco-economic carrying,and ecological conservation.This study provides a scientific foundation for land use planning and ecological conservation policy formulation within the watershed area.

文摘The acceleration and mode transition performance are two significant performances of Adaptive Cycle Engine(ACE).However,separating the processes of acceleration and mode transition will slow down the response speed of thrust.Therefore,this paper proposes a multi-mode acceleration optimization control method that simultaneously performs ACE acceleration and mode transition.Firstly,an ACE component model with inlet flow characteristics was established,and the performance before and after mode transition were analyzed.Secondly,the principle of ACE acceleration optimization was analyzed,and the Front Variable Area Bypass Injector(FVABI)and Mode Selection Valve(MSV)were adopted in the acceleration process.Finally,based on the Sequential Quadratic Programming(SQP)algorithm,considering the degradation effects of engine components,we optimize the acceleration control plan for fuel and variable geometry mechanisms.The simulation results show that at the subsonic cruise point,the ACE multi-mode acceleration optimization control method can shorten the acceleration time from idle to middle state by 30.33%,and accelerate the thrust response speed by 33.72%.When the compressor flow rate of ACE deteriorates by 2% and the high-pressure turbine efficiency deteriorates by 4%,the adaptive acceleration control plan increases the high-pressure speed by 2.13% and thrust by about 6.82%;within the flight envelope,the acceleration time is reduced by more than 25%,and the thrust response speed is increased by more than 20%.

文摘The high-speed development of space defense technology demands a high state estimation capacity for spacecraft tracking methods.However,reentry flight is accompanied by complex flight environments,which brings to the uncertain,complex,and strongly coupled non-Gaussian detection noise.As a result,there are several intractable considerations on the problem of state estimation tasks corrupted by complex non-Gaussian outliers for non-linear dynamics systems in practical application.To address these issues,a new iterated rational quadratic(RQ)kernel high-order unscented Kalman filtering(IRQHUKF)algorithm via capturing the statistics to break through the limitations of the Gaussian assumption is proposed.Firstly,the characteristic analysis of the RQ kernel is investigated in detail,which is the first attempt to carry out an exploration of the heavy-tailed characteristic and the ability on capturing highorder moments of the RQ kernel.Subsequently,the RQ kernel method is first introduced into the UKF algorithm as an error optimization criterion,termed the iterated RQ kernel-UKF(RQ-UKF)algorithm by derived analytically,which not only retains the high-order moments propagation process but also enhances the approximation capacity in the non-Gaussian noise problem for its ability in capturing highorder moments and heavy-tailed characteristics.Meanwhile,to tackle the limitations of the Gaussian distribution assumption in the linearization process of the non-linear systems,the high-order Sigma Points(SP)as a subsidiary role in propagating the state high-order statistics is devised by the moments matching method to improve the RQ-UKF.Finally,to further improve the flexibility of the IRQ-HUKF algorithm in practical application,an adaptive kernel parameter is derived analytically grounded in the Kullback-Leibler divergence(KLD)method and parametric sensitivity analysis of the RQ kernel.The simulation results demonstrate that the novel IRQ-HUKF algorithm is more robust and outperforms the existing advanced UKF with respect to the kernel method in reentry vehicle tracking scenarios under various noise environments.

文摘The objective of this paper is to present a robust safety-critical control system based on the active disturbance rejection control approach, designed to guarantee safety even in the presence of model inaccuracies, unknown dynamics, and external disturbances. The proposed method combines control barrier functions and control Lyapunov functions with a nonlinear extended state observer to produce a robust and safe control strategy for dynamic systems subject to uncertainties and disturbances. This control strategy employs an optimization-based control, supported by the disturbance estimation from a nonlinear extended state observer. Using a quadratic programming algorithm, the controller computes an optimal, stable, and safe control action at each sampling instant. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical simulations of a safety-critical interconnected adaptive cruise control system.
文摘Differential inequalities generated in an extended Lyapunov framework are employed in the stability and instability analyses of a class of switched continuous-time second-and higher order linear systems with an arbitrary number of switching matrices.The exponential stability and instability(ESI)conditions so obtained involve the supremum and infimum of ratios of certain quadratic forms of the matrices,leading to global time-averages of their activity intervals.Further,motivated by linear switching system examples of(i)instability with stable matrices and(ii)stability with unstable matrices(found in the literature primarily for second-order systems),the proposed framework is generalized to establish ESI conditions that include both the activity intervals of the matrices and their switching rates,the latter being governed by a certain logarithmic measure of the normalized magnitudes of discontinuities caused by switching.In effect,(the new,globally averaged)dwell-time is flexibly traded,apparently for the first time,but under specific conditions(related,in part,to the eigenvalues of the matrices),for switching discontinuity-based conditions.Two further novel aspects of the proposed approach are:(i)For second-order matrices,switching lines in phase space can be chosen for periodic switching to stabilize or destabilize the system,and even generate oscillations,depending on the eigenvalues of the system matrices.But for third-(and higher)order matrices,such an analytically tractable(and controlled)periodical switching entails solution of an explicit non-convex multi-parameter optimization problem for which a stochastic optimization algorithm from the literature can be invoked.(ii)Lower and upper bounds on the solutions of the system equations can be quantified to reflect the stability/instability/oscillatory property of the system.Illustrative examples,which demonstrate the novelty of the derived stability and instability conditions,are presented in part 2 which is advisedly to be read along with this part 1 for a coherent merging of theory with practice.
文摘As power systems expand,solving the unit commitment problem(UCP)becomes increasingly challenging due to the curse of dimensionality,and traditional methods often struggle to balance computational efficiency and solution optimality.To tackle this issue,we propose a problem-structure-informed quantum approximate optimization algorithm(QAOA)framework that fully exploits the quantum advantage under extremely limited quantum resources.Specifically,we leverage the inherent topological structure of power systems to decompose large-scale UCP instances into smaller subproblems,which are solvable in parallel by limited number of qubits.This decomposition not only circumvents the current hardware limitations of quantum computing but also achieves higher performance as the graph structure of the power system becomes more sparse.Consequently,our approach can be extended to future power systems that are larger and more complex.
文摘In this second part of the paper,bearing the same title as above,but with the last hyphenated phrase replaced by part 1(Theory),the exponential stability and instability(ESI)Theorems 1–4 of part 1 are illustrated by applying them to second-andby,say,third-order linear switched systems with different eigenvalue structures to demonstrate the versatility,novelty and superiority(over many of the results found in the literature,especially for second-order switched lined systems)of the new theoretical results.The computational procedure that is employed with reference to the third-order systems is generic,in the sense that it is applicable to higher(i.e.,greater than third-)order linear switched systems.A pseudo-code for a computer implementation of the stability/instability conditions is also presented.With the principal aim of facilitating an independent reading of this part 2 of the paper,some crucial mathematical notations,definitions and results of part 1 have been repeated,thereby making the contents as self-contained as possible.
文摘Additive Manufacturing(AM)can provide customized parts that conventional techniques fail to deliver.One important parameter in AM is the quality of the parts,as a result of the material extrusion 3D printing(3D-P)procedure.This can be very important in defense-related applications,where optimum performance needs to be guaranteed.The quality of the Polyetherimide 3D-P specimens was examined by considering six control parameters,namely,infill percentage,layer height,deposition angle,travel speed,nozzle,and bed temperature.The quality indicators were the root mean square(Rq)and average(Ra)roughness,porosity,and the actual to nominal dimensional deviation.The examination was performed with optical profilometry,optical microscopy,and micro-computed tomography scanning.The Taguchi design of experiments was applied,with twenty-five runs,five levels for each control parameter,on five replicas.Two additional confirmation runs were conducted,to ensure reliability.Prediction equations were constructed to express the quality indicators in terms of the control parameters.Three modeling approaches were applied to the experimental data,to compare their efficiency,i.e.,Linear Regression Model(LRM),Reduced Quadratic Regression Model,and Quadratic Regression Model(QRM).QRM was the most accurate one,still the differences were not high even considering the simpler LRM model.
