A Local Sparse Screening Identification Algorithm with Applications

Extracting nonlinear governing equations from noisy data is a central challenge in the analysis of complicated nonlinear behaviors.Despite researchers follow the sparse identification nonlinear dynamics algorithm(SINDy)rule to restore nonlinear equations,there also exist obstacles.One is the excessive dependence on empirical parameters,which increases the difficulty of data pre-processing.Another one is the coexistence of multiple coefficient vectors,which causes the optimal solution to be drowned in multiple solutions.The third one is the composition of basic function,which is exclusively applicable to specific equations.In this article,a local sparse screening identification algorithm(LSSI)is proposed to identify nonlinear systems.First,we present the k-neighbor parameter to replace all empirical parameters in data filtering.Second,we combine the mean error screening method with the SINDy algorithm to select the optimal one from multiple solutions.Third,the time variable t is introduced to expand the scope of the SINDy algorithm.Finally,the LSSI algorithm is applied to recover a classic ODE and a bi-stable energy harvester system.The results show that the new algorithm improves the ability of noise immunity and optimal parameters identification provides a desired foundation for nonlinear analyses.

Gust Front Statistical Characteristics and Automatic Identification Algorithm for CINRAD

Gust front is a kind of meso-and micro-scale weather phenomenon that often causes serious ground wind and wind shear. This paper presents an automatic gust front identification algorithm. Totally 879 radar volume-scan samples selected from 21 gust front weather processes that occurred in China between 2009 and 2012 are examined and analyzed. Gust front echo statistical features in reflectivity, velocity, and spectrum width fields are obtained. Based on these features, an algorithm is designed to recognize gust fronts and generate output products and quantitative indices. Then, 315 samples are used to verify the algorithm and 3 typical cases are analyzed. Major conclusions include： 1） for narrow band echoes intensity is between 5 and 30 dBZ, widths are between 2 and 10 km, maximum heights are less than 4 km （89.33%are lower than 3 km）, and the lengths are between 50 and 200 km. The narrow-band echo is higher than its surrounding echo. 2） Gust fronts present a convergence line or a wind shear in the velocity field;the frontal wind speed gradually decreases when the distance increases radially outward. Spectral widths of gust fronts are large, with 87.09% exceeding 4 m s-1 . 3） Using 315 gust front volume-scan samples to test the algorithm reveals that the algorithm is highly stable and has successfully recognized 277 samples. The algorithm also works for small-scale or weak gust fronts. 4） Radar data quality has certain impact on the algorithm.

Toward real-time digital pulse process algorithms for CsI(Tl)detector array at external target facility in HIRFL-CSR

A fully digital data acquisition system based on a field-programmable gate array(FPGA) was developed for a CsI(Tl) array at the external target facility(ETF) in the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL). To process the CsI(Tl) signals generated by γ-rays and light-charged ions, a scheme for digital pulse processing algorithms is proposed. Every step in the algorithms was benchmarked using standard γ and α sources. The scheme, which included a moving average filter, baseline restoration, leading-edge discrimination, moving window deconvolution, and digital charge comparison, was subsequently implemented on the FPGA. A good energy resolution of 5.7% for 1.33-MeV γ-rays and excellent α-γ identification using the digital charge comparison method were achieved, which satisfies CsI(Tl) array performance requirements.

AN ENHANCEMENT SCHEME OF TCP PROTOCOL IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS:MME-TCP

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a challenging issue because of some unique characteristics of MANETs. In this paper,a new end-to-end mechanism based on multiple metrics measurement is proposed to improve TCP performance in MANETs. Multi-metric Measurement based Enhancement of TCP (MME-TCP) designs the metrics and the identification algorithm according to the characteristics of MANETs and the experiment results. Furthermore,these metrics are measured at the sender node to reduce the overhead of control information over networks. Simulation results show that MME-TCP mechanism achieves a significant performance improvement over standard TCP in MANETs.

Mesoscale oceanic eddies in the South China Sea from 1992 to 2012:evolution processes and statistical analysis

Automated identification and tracking of mesoscale ocean eddies has recently become one research hotspot in physical oceanography. Several methods have been developed and applied to survey the general kinetic and geometric characteristics of the ocean eddies in the South China Sea（SCS）. However, very few studies attempt to examine eddies＇ internal evolution processes. In this study, we reported a hybrid method to trace eddies＇ propagation in the SCS based on their internal structures, which are characterized by eddy centers, footprint borders, and composite borders. Eddy identification and tracking results were represented by a GIS-based spatiotemporal model. Information on instant states, dynamic evolution processes, and events of disappearance, reappearance, split, and mergence is stored in a GIS database. Results were validated by comparing against the ten Dongsha Cyclonic Eddies（DCEs） and the three long-lived anticyclonic eddies（ACEs） in the northern SCS, which were reported in previous literature. Our study confirmed the development of these eddies. Furthermore, we found more DCE-like and ACE-like eddies in these areas from 2005 to 2012 in our database. Spatial distribution analysis of disappearing, reappearing, splitting, and merging activities shows that eddies in the SCS tend to cluster to the northwest of Luzon Island, southwest of Luzon Strait, and around the marginal sea of Vietnam. Kuroshio intrusions and the complex sea floor topography in these areas are the possible factors that lead to these spatial clusters.

Information Security Protocol Based System Identification with Binary-Valued Observations

Traditional control does not pay much attention to information security problems in system identification enough, which are important in practical applications. This paper focuses on the security problem of input information in a class of system identification problems with noise and binary-valued observations, presents a cryptography based security protocol, and improves it in the range of allowed errors. During solving the identification problem, the improved security protocol can ensure that the input information is not leaked, and thus, can deal with passive attacks effectively. Besides, a quantitative relationship among the input information, the public key in encryption and the number of partieipailts in the improved protocol is shown. Finally, the simulation results show that, the identification algorithm can still achieve the estimation accuracy by adding the improved security protocol. However, compared with the original identification algorithm, the time complexity of the algorithm with the improved security protocol increases.

A Hybrid Coordinated Design Method for Power System Stabilizer and FACTS Device Based on Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transform and Stochastic Subspace Identification

The occurrence of low-frequency electromechanical oscillations is a major problem in the effective operation of power systems. The scrutiny of these oscillations provides substantial information about power system stability and security. In this paper, a new method is introduced based on a combination of synchrosqueezed wavelet transform and the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) algorithm to investigate the low-frequency electromechanical oscillations of large-scale power systems. Then, the estimated modes of the power system are used for the design of the power system stabilizer and the flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) device. In this optimization problem, the control parameters are set using a hybrid approach composed of the Prony and residual methods and the modified fruit fly optimization algorithm. The proposed mode estimation method and the controller design are simulated in MATLAB using two test case systems, namely IEEE 2-area 4-generator and New England-New York 68-bus 16-generator systems. The simulation results demonstrate the high performance of the proposed method in estimation of local and inter-area modes, and indicate the improvements in oscillation damping and power system stability.
