Many previous existing works on load-redistribution strategies require global information, which is not suitable for large scale networks, and some strategies based on local information assume that the load of a node is always its initial load before the network is attacked, and the load of the failure node is redistributed to its neighbors according to their initial load or initial residual capacity. This paper proposes a new load-redistribution strategy based on local information considering an ever-changing load. It redistributes the loads of the failure node to its nearest neighbors according to their current residual capacity, which makes full use of the residual capacity of the network. Experiments are conducted on two typical networks and two real networks, and the experimental results show that the new load-redistribution strategy can reduce the size of cascading failure efficiently.展开更多

Firstly, we simulate the multiple-equilibria regimes of double-gyre circulation under different viscosity coefficient and obtain the bifurcation diagram, then choose two equilibrium states (called jet-up state and jet-down state) as reference states respectively, propose Principal Component Analysis-based Simulated Annealing (PCASA) algorithm to solve CNOP-type initial perturbations which can induce double-gyre regime transitions between jet-up state and jet-down state. PCASA algorithm is an adjoint-free method which searches optimal solution randomly in the whole solution space. In addition, we investigate CNOP-type initial perturbations how to evolve with time. The results show:(1) the CNOP-type perturbations present a two-cell structure, and gradually evolves into a three-cell structure at predictive time;(2) by superimposing CNOP-type perturbations on the jet-up state and integrating ROMS, double-gyre circulation transfers from jet-up state to jet-down state, and vice versa, and random initial perturbations don't cause the transitions, which means CNOP-type perturbations are the optimal precursors of double-gyre regime transitions;(3) by analyzing the transition process of double-gyre regime transitions, we find that CNOP-type initial perturbations obtain energy from the background state through both barotropic and baroclinic instabilities, and barotropic instability contributes more significantly to the fast-growth of the perturbations. The optimal precursors and the dynamic mechanism of double-gyre regime transitions revealed in this paper have an important significance to enhance the predictability of double-gyre circulation.展开更多

In this study, the hyperchaotic Lu system is exactly represented by the T-S fuzzy model and an impulsive control framework is proposed for stabilizing the hyperchaotic Lu system, which is also suitable for classes of T-S fuzzy hyperchaotic systems, such as the hyperchaotic Rossler, Chen, Chua systems and so on. Sufficient conditions for achieving stability in impulsive T-S fuzzy hyperchaotic systems are derived by using Lyapunov stability theory in the form of the linear matrix inequality, and are less conservative in comparison with existing results. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

文摘In common practice in the oil fields,the injection of water and gas into reservoirs is a crucial technique to increase production.The control of the waterflooding front in oil/gas exploitation is a matter of great concern to reservoir engineers.Monitoring the waterflooding front in oil/gas wells plays a very important role in adjusting the well network and later in production,taking advantage of the remaining oil po-tential and ultimately achieving great success in improving the recovery rate.For a long time,micro-seismic monitoring,numerical simulation,four-dimensional seismic and other methods have been widely used in waterflooding front monitoring.However,reconciling their reliability and cost poses a significant challenge.In order to achieve real-time,reliable and cost-effective monitoring,we propose an innovative method for waterflooding front monitoring through the similarity analysis of passive source time-lapse seismic images.Typically,passive source seismic data collected from oil fields have extremely low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),which poses a serious problem for obtaining structural images.The proposed method aims to visualize and analyze underground changes by highlighting time-lapse images and provide a strategy for underground monitoring using long-term passive source data under low SNR conditions.First,we verify the feasibility of the proposed method by designing a theoretical model.Then,we conduct an analysis of the correlation coefficient(similarity)on the passive source time-lapse seismic imaging results to enhance the image differences and identify the simulated waterflooding fronts.Finally,the proposed method is applied to the actual waterflooding front monitoring tasks in Shengli Oilfield,China.The research findings indicate that the monitoring results are consistent with the actual devel-opment conditions,which in turn demonstrates that the proposed method has great potential for practical application and is very suitable for monitoring common development tasks in oil fields.

文摘Cascading failure can cause great damage to complex networks, so it is of great significance to improve the network robustness against cascading failure. Many previous existing works on load-redistribution strategies require global information, which is not suitable for large scale networks, and some strategies based on local information assume that the load of a node is always its initial load before the network is attacked, and the load of the failure node is redistributed to its neighbors according to their initial load or initial residual capacity. This paper proposes a new load-redistribution strategy based on local information considering an ever-changing load. It redistributes the loads of the failure node to its nearest neighbors according to their current residual capacity, which makes full use of the residual capacity of the network. Experiments are conducted on two typical networks and two real networks, and the experimental results show that the new load-redistribution strategy can reduce the size of cascading failure efficiently.
文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)has emerged as a promising novel application for the Sixth-Generation(6G)wireless communication by leveraging more favorable Line-of-Sight(Lo S)propagation.However,the jamming resistance by exploiting UAV’s mobility is a new challenge in the UAV-ground communication.This paper investigates the trajectory planning problem in an UAV communication system,where the UAV is operated by a Ground Control Unit(GCU)to perform certain tasks in the presence of multiple jammers with imperfect power and location information.To ensure the reliability of the GCU-to-UAV link,we formulate the problem as a non-convex semi-infinite optimization,aiming to maximize the average worst-case Signal-toInterference-plus-Noise Ratio(SINR)over a given flight duration by designing the robust trajectory of the UAV under stringent energy availability constraints.To handle this problem efficiently,we develop an iterative algorithm for the solution with the aid of S-procedure and Successive Convex Approximation(SCA)method.Numerous results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed algorithm and offer some useful design insights to practical system.

文摘With the extensive integration of the Internet,social networks and the internet of things,the social internet of things has increasingly become a significant research issue.In the social internet of things application scenario,one of the greatest challenges is how to accurately recommend or match smart objects for users with massive resources.Although a variety of recommendation algorithms have been employed in this field,they ignore the massive text resources in the social internet of things,which can effectively improve the effect of recommendation.In this paper,a smart object recommendation approach named object recommendation based on topic learning and joint features is proposed.The proposed approach extracts and calculates topics and service relevant features of texts related to smart objects and introduces the“thing-thing”relationship information in the internet of things to improve the effect of recommendation.Experiments show that the proposed approach enables higher accuracy compared to the existing recommendation methods.

文摘Fast-flux is a Domain Name System(DNS)technique used by botnets to organise compromised hosts into a high-availability,loadbalancing network that is similar to Content Delivery Networks(CDNs).Fast-Flux Service Networks(FFSNs)are usually used as proxies of phishing websites and malwares,and hide upstream servers that host actual content.In this paper,by analysing recursive DNS traffic,we develop a fast-flux domain detection method which combines both real-time detection and long-term monitoring.Experimental results demonstrate that our solution can achieve significantly higher detection accuracy values than previous flux-score based algorithms,and is light-weight in terms of resource consumption.We evaluate the performance of the proposed fast-flux detection and tracking solution during a 180-day period of deployment on our university’s DNS servers.Based on the tracking results,we successfully identify the changes in the distribution of FFSN and their roles in recent Internet attacks.

文摘In this paper, we find the optimal precursors which can cause double-gyre regime transitions based on conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) method with Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). Firstly, we simulate the multiple-equilibria regimes of double-gyre circulation under different viscosity coefficient and obtain the bifurcation diagram, then choose two equilibrium states (called jet-up state and jet-down state) as reference states respectively, propose Principal Component Analysis-based Simulated Annealing (PCASA) algorithm to solve CNOP-type initial perturbations which can induce double-gyre regime transitions between jet-up state and jet-down state. PCASA algorithm is an adjoint-free method which searches optimal solution randomly in the whole solution space. In addition, we investigate CNOP-type initial perturbations how to evolve with time. The results show:(1) the CNOP-type perturbations present a two-cell structure, and gradually evolves into a three-cell structure at predictive time;(2) by superimposing CNOP-type perturbations on the jet-up state and integrating ROMS, double-gyre circulation transfers from jet-up state to jet-down state, and vice versa, and random initial perturbations don't cause the transitions, which means CNOP-type perturbations are the optimal precursors of double-gyre regime transitions;(3) by analyzing the transition process of double-gyre regime transitions, we find that CNOP-type initial perturbations obtain energy from the background state through both barotropic and baroclinic instabilities, and barotropic instability contributes more significantly to the fast-growth of the perturbations. The optimal precursors and the dynamic mechanism of double-gyre regime transitions revealed in this paper have an important significance to enhance the predictability of double-gyre circulation.

文摘Recent advances in spatially resolved transcriptomic technologies have enabled unprecedented opportunities to elucidate tissue architecture and function in situ.Spatial transcriptomics can provide multimodal and complementary information simultaneously,including gene expression profiles,spatial locations,and histology images.However,most existing methods have limitations in efficiently utilizing spatial information and matched high-resolution histology images.To fully leverage the multi-modal information,we propose a SPAtially embedded Deep Attentional graph Clustering(SpaDAC)method to identify spatial domains while reconstructing denoised gene expression profiles.This method can efficiently learn the low-dimensional embeddings for spatial transcriptomics data by constructing multi-view graph modules to capture both spatial location connectives and morphological connectives.Benchmark results demonstrate that SpaDAC outperforms other algorithms on several recent spatial transcriptomics datasets.SpaDAC is a valuable tool for spatial domain detection,facilitating the comprehension of tissue architecture and cellular microenvironment.The source code of SpaDAC is freely available at Github(https://github.com/huoyuying/SpaDAC.git).

文摘This paper presents a novel approach to hyperchaos control of hyperchaotic systems based on impulsive control and the Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy model. In this study, the hyperchaotic Lu system is exactly represented by the T-S fuzzy model and an impulsive control framework is proposed for stabilizing the hyperchaotic Lu system, which is also suitable for classes of T-S fuzzy hyperchaotic systems, such as the hyperchaotic Rossler, Chen, Chua systems and so on. Sufficient conditions for achieving stability in impulsive T-S fuzzy hyperchaotic systems are derived by using Lyapunov stability theory in the form of the linear matrix inequality, and are less conservative in comparison with existing results. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
