Many of the described invariants make it possible to distinguish a larger number of graphs in the real time of a computer program. In this paper, we propose an invariant for a special kind of directed graphs, namely, for tournaments. The last ones, from our point of view, are interesting because when fixing the order of vertices, the number of different tournaments is exactly equal to the number of undirected graphs, also with fixing the order of vertices. In the invariant we are considering, all possible tournaments consisting of a subset of vertices of a given digraph with the same set of arcs are iterated over. For such subset tournaments, the places are calculated in the usual way, which are summed up to obtain the final values of the points of the vertices;these points form the proposed invariant. As we expected, calculations of the new invariant showed that it does not coincide with the most natural invariant for tournaments, in which the number of points is calculated for each participant. So far, we have conducted a small number of computational experiments, and the minimum value of the pair correlation between the sequences representing these two invariants that we found is for dimension 15.展开更多

However, obtaining an optimized sensor set of these systems, which is a prerequisite for fault diagnosis, remains a major challenge. Available literature suggests that the configuration of sensors in these systems is presently dependent on the knowledge and engineering experiences of designers, which may lead to insufficient or redundant development of various sensors. In this paper, the optimization of sensor sets is addressed by using the signed digraph (SDG) method. The method is modified for use in braking systems by the introduction of an effect-function method to replace the traditional quantitative methods. Two criteria are adopted to evaluate the capability of the sensor sets, namely, observability and resolution. The sensors configuration method of braking system is proposed. It consists of generating bipartite graphs from SDG models and then solving the set cover problem using a greedy algorithm. To demonstrate the improvement, the sensor configuration of the HP2008 braking system is investigated and fault diagnosis on a test bench is performed. The test results show that SDG algorithm can improve single-fault resolution from 6 faults to 10 faults, and with additional four brake cylinder pressure (BCP) sensors it can cover up to 67 double faults which were not considered by traditional fault diagnosis system. SDG methods are suitable for reducing redundant sensors and that the sensor sets thereby obtained are capable of detecting typical faults, such as the failure of a release valve. This study investigates the formal extension of the SDG method to the sensor configuration of braking system, as well as the adaptation supported by the effect-function method.展开更多

The topology structure of DAG is constructed by rearranging the nodes' sequence in the graph. DAG is equivalent to guided operating SVM on a list,and the classification performance depends on the nodes' sequence in the graph. Jeffries-Matusita distance( JMD) is introduced to estimate the separability of each class,and the implementation list is initialized with all classes organized according to certain sequence in the list. To testify the effectiveness of the proposed method,numerical analysis is conducted on UCI data and hyperspectral data. Meanwhile,comparative studies using standard OAO and DAG classification methods are also conducted and the results illustrate better performance and higher accuracy of the proposed JMD-DAG method.展开更多

The ray paths that should be used for tomographic techniques strongly depend on the wave-speed distribution. In this paper, a new method is proposed for finding out the ray paths from Fermat's principle, that means the traveltime of the ray path should be a minimum value. The problem of finding out the ray path is actually an optimum problem. Our new method uses the idea to find out the shortest path in a weighted directed graph to solve the problem. The ray paths found out by this method are used in the iterative reconstruction algorithm. Computer simulation result produced by this reconstruction algorithm is better than that by the conventional ones. It also shows that the new algorithm is effective with good convergency and stability.展开更多

The packing number P(v,m) is the maximum number of m circuits in such a packing. The packing problem is to determine the value P(v,m) for every integer v≥m. In this paper, the problem is reduced to the case m+6≤v≤2m- 4m-3+12 , for any fixed even integer m≥4 . In particular, the values of P(v,m) are completely determined for m=12 , 14 and 16.展开更多

The domination number of G is the order of a minimum dominating set of G. The (t, r) broadcast domination is a generalization of domination in which a set of broadcasting vertices emits signals of strength t that decrease by 1 as they traverse each edge, and we require that every vertex in the graph receives a cumulative signal of at least r from its set of broadcasting neighbors. In this paper, we extend the study of (t, r) broadcast domination to directed graphs. Our main result explores the interval of values obtained by considering the directed (t, r) broadcast domination numbers of all orientations of a graph G. In particular, we prove that in the cases r = 1 and (t, r) = (2, 2), for every integer value in this interval, there exists an orientation of G which has directed (t, r) broadcast domination number equal to that value. We also investigate directed (t, r) broadcast domination on the finite grid graph, the star graph, the infinite grid graph, and the infinite triangular lattice graph. We conclude with some directions for future study.展开更多

Many of the described invariants make it possible to distinguish a larger number of graphs in the real time of a computer program. In this paper, we propose an invariant for a special kind of directed graphs, namely, for tournaments. The last ones, from our point of view, are interesting because when fixing the order of vertices, the number of different tournaments is exactly equal to the number of undirected graphs, also with fixing the order of vertices. In the invariant we are considering, all possible tournaments consisting of a subset of vertices of a given digraph with the same set of arcs are iterated over. For such subset tournaments, the places are calculated in the usual way, which are summed up to obtain the final values of the points of the vertices;these points form the proposed invariant. As we expected, calculations of the new invariant showed that it does not coincide with the most natural invariant for tournaments, in which the number of points is calculated for each participant. So far, we have conducted a small number of computational experiments, and the minimum value of the pair correlation between the sequences representing these two invariants that we found is for dimension 15.

The ray paths found out by this method are used in the iterative reconstruction algorithm. Computer simulation result produced by this reconstruction algorithm is better than that by the conventional ones. It also shows that the new algorithm is effective with good convergency and stability.
文摘Consensus control of multi-agent systems is an innovative paradigm for the development of intelligent distributed systems.This has fascinated numerous scientific groups for their promising applications as they have the freedom to achieve their local and global goals and make their own decisions.Network communication topologies based on graph and matrix theory are widely used in a various real-time applications ranging from software agents to robotics.Therefore,while sustaining the significance of both directed and undirected graphs,this research emphases on the demonstration of a distributed average consensus algorithm.It uses the harmonic mean in the domain of multi-agent systems with directed and undirected graphs under static topologies based on a control input scheme.The proposed agreement protocol focuses on achieving a constant consensus on directional and undirected graphs using the exchange of information between neighbors to update their status values and to be able to calculate the total number of agents that contribute to the communication network at the same time.The proposed method is implemented for the identical networks that are considered under the directional and non-directional communication links.Two different scenarios are simulated and it is concluded that the undirected approach has an advantage over directed graph communication in terms of processing time and the total number of iterations required to achieve convergence.The same network parameters are introduced for both orientations of the communication graphs.In addition,the results of the simulation and the calculation of various matrices are provided at the end to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to achieve consensus.

文摘Reinforcement learning can be modeled as markov decision process mathematically.In consequence,the interaction samples as well as the connection relation between them are two main types of information for learning.However,most of recent works on deep reinforcement learning treat samples independently either in their own episode or between episodes.In this paper,in order to utilize more sample information,we propose another learning system based on directed associative graph(DAG).The DAG is built on all trajectories in real time,which includes the whole connection relation of all samples among all episodes.Through planning with directed edges on DAG,we offer another perspective to estimate stateaction pair,especially for the unknowns to deep neural network(DNN)as well as episodic memory(EM).Mixed loss function is generated by the three learning systems(DNN,EM and DAG)to improve the efficiency of the parameter update in the proposed algorithm.We show that our algorithm is significantly better than the state-of-the-art algorithm in performance and sample efficiency on testing environments.Furthermore,the convergence of our algorithm is proved in the appendix and its long-term performance as well as the effects of DAG are verified.
文摘A packing of the complete directed symmetric graph DK v with m circuits, denoted by ( v,m) DCP, is defined to be a family of arc disjoint m circuits of DK v such that any one arc of DK v \ occurs in at most one m circuit. The packing number P(v,m) is the maximum number of m circuits in such a packing. The packing problem is to determine the value P(v,m) for every integer v≥m. In this paper, the problem is reduced to the case m+6≤v≤2m- 4m-3+12 , for any fixed even integer m≥4 . In particular, the values of P(v,m) are completely determined for m=12 , 14 and 16.
文摘A dominating set of a graph G is a set of vertices that contains at least one endpoint of every edge on the graph. The domination number of G is the order of a minimum dominating set of G. The (t, r) broadcast domination is a generalization of domination in which a set of broadcasting vertices emits signals of strength t that decrease by 1 as they traverse each edge, and we require that every vertex in the graph receives a cumulative signal of at least r from its set of broadcasting neighbors. In this paper, we extend the study of (t, r) broadcast domination to directed graphs. Our main result explores the interval of values obtained by considering the directed (t, r) broadcast domination numbers of all orientations of a graph G. In particular, we prove that in the cases r = 1 and (t, r) = (2, 2), for every integer value in this interval, there exists an orientation of G which has directed (t, r) broadcast domination number equal to that value. We also investigate directed (t, r) broadcast domination on the finite grid graph, the star graph, the infinite grid graph, and the infinite triangular lattice graph. We conclude with some directions for future study.
文摘A new algorithm for the solution of under constraint graph in sketch drawing is put forward. The directed process of constraint graph is completed by picking concealed constraints of adjacent entities in sketch of few or no dimensions. In this paper, the priority of concealed constraint is given by the different constraint types and constructing orders, and some more priority concealed constraints are forced into obvious ones by the need number of constraint for every node in constraint solution process.

文摘In this paper,a new distributed consensus tracking protocol incorporating local disturbance rejection is devised for a multi-agent system with heterogeneous dynamic uncertainties and disturbances over a directed graph.It is of two-degree-of-freedom nature.Specifically,a robust distributed controller is designed for consensus tracking,while a local disturbance estimator is designed for each agent without requiring the input channel information of disturbances.The condition for asymptotic disturbance rejection is derived.Moreover,even when the disturbance model is not exactly known,the developed method also provides good disturbance-rejection performance.Then,a robust stabilization condition with less conservativeness is derived for the whole multi-agent system.Further,a design algorithm is given.Finally,comparisons with the conventional one-degree-of-freedombased distributed disturbance-rejection method for mismatched disturbances and the distributed extended-state observer for matched disturbances validate the developed method.

文摘This paper addresses distributed adaptive optimal resource allocation problems over weight-balanced digraphs.By leveraging state-of-the-art adaptive coupling designs for multiagent systems,two adaptive algorithms are proposed,namely a directed-spanning-tree-based algorithm and a node-based algorithm.The benefits of these algorithms are that they require neither sufficiently small or unitary step sizes,nor global knowledge of Laplacian eigenvalues,which are widely required in the literature.It is shown that both algorithms belong to a class of uncertain saddle-point dynamics,which can be tackled by repeatedly adopting the Peter-Paul inequality in the framework of Lyapunov theory.Thanks to this new viewpoint,global asymptotic convergence of both algorithms can be proven in a unified way.The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated through numerical simulations and case studies in IEEE 30-bus and 118-bus power systems.
