However, due to the performance differences caused by the tolerance of engine manufacturing and assembly, and performance degradation during continuously stringent environmental regulations, the model accuracy is severely reduced. In this paper, an adaptive modification method of turbofan engine nonlinear Component-Llevel Model(CLM) based on Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) Neural Network(NN) and hybrid optimization algorithm is pro-posed. First, a dynamic compensator with a combined LSTM NN architecture is constructed to compensate for the initial error between the experimental data and CLM of a turbofan engine under health condition. Then, a sensitivity analysis approach based on the entropy coefficient and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution integrated evaluation is developed to choose the unmeasurable health parameters to be adjusted. Finally, a parallel hybrid optimization algorithm is developed to complete the adaptive model modification when the performance degrades. The proposed method is verified on a military low-bypass twin-spool turbofan engine, and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

CVRP can be partitioned into three parts: the selection of vehicles among the available vehicles, the initial routing of the selected fleet and the routing optimization. Fuzzy C-means (FCM) can group the customers with close Euclidean distance into the same vehicle according to the principle of similar feature partition. Transiently chaotic neural network (TCNN) combines local search and global search, possessing high search efficiency. It will solve the routes to near optimality. A simple tabu search (TS) procedure can improve the routes to more optimality. The computations on benchmark problems and comparisons with other results in literatures show that the proposed algorithm is a viable and effective approach for CVRP.展开更多

Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras' parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion (DLT), GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.展开更多

We assume a single impulse to be applied in each case when the spacecraft approaches a celestial body. Some optimal trajectories ofEJS, EMS, EVEJS and EVVEJS flying sequences are obtained using five global optimization algorithms: DE, PSO, DP, the hybrid algorithm PSODE and another hybrid algorithm, DPDE.

文摘Energy supply is one of the most critical challenges of wireless sensor networks(WSNs)and industrial wireless sensor networks(IWSNs).While research on coverage optimization problem(COP)centers on the network’s monitoring coverage,this research focuses on the power banks’energy supply coverage.The study of 2-D and 3-D spaces is typical in IWSN,with the realistic environment being more complex with obstacles(i.e.,machines).A 3-D surface is the field of interest(FOI)in this work with the established hybrid power bank deployment model for the energy supply COP optimization of IWSN.The hybrid power bank deployment model is highly adaptive and flexible for new or existing plants already using the IWSN system.The model improves the power supply to a more considerable extent with the least number of power bank deployments.The main innovation in this work is the utilization of a more practical surface model with obstacles and training while improving the convergence speed and quality of the heuristic algorithm.An overall probabilistic coverage rate analysis of every point on the FOI is provided,not limiting the scope to target points or areas.Bresenham’s algorithm is extended from 2-D to 3-D surface to enhance the probabilistic covering model for coverage measurement.A dynamic search strategy(DSS)is proposed to modify the artificial bee colony(ABC)and balance the exploration and exploitation ability for better convergence toward eliminating NP-hard deployment problems.Further,the cellular automata(CA)is utilized to enhance the convergence speed.The case study based on two typical FOI in the IWSN shows that the CA scheme effectively speeds up the optimization process.Comparative experiments are conducted on four benchmark functions to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the ABC and gbest-guided ABC(GABC)algorithms.The results show that the proposed energy coverage optimization method based on the hybrid power bank deployment model generates more accurate results than the results obtained by similar algorithms(i.e.,ABC,GABC).The proposed model is,therefore,effective and efficient for optimization in the IWSN.

文摘An accurate and reliable turbofan engine model which can describe its dynamic behavior within the full flight envelop and lifecycle plays a critical role in performance optimization, controller design and fault diagnosis. However, due to the performance differences caused by the tolerance of engine manufacturing and assembly, and performance degradation during continuously stringent environmental regulations, the model accuracy is severely reduced. In this paper, an adaptive modification method of turbofan engine nonlinear Component-Llevel Model(CLM) based on Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) Neural Network(NN) and hybrid optimization algorithm is pro-posed. First, a dynamic compensator with a combined LSTM NN architecture is constructed to compensate for the initial error between the experimental data and CLM of a turbofan engine under health condition. Then, a sensitivity analysis approach based on the entropy coefficient and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution integrated evaluation is developed to choose the unmeasurable health parameters to be adjusted. Finally, a parallel hybrid optimization algorithm is developed to complete the adaptive model modification when the performance degrades. The proposed method is verified on a military low-bypass twin-spool turbofan engine, and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘A hybrid optimization algorithm for the time-domain identification of multivariable,state space model for aero-engine was presented in this paper.The optimization procedure runs particle swarm optimization(PSO) and least squares optimization(LSO) "in series".PSO starts from an initial population and searches for the optimum solution by updating generations.However,it can sometimes run into a suboptimal solution.Then LSO can start from the suboptimal solution of PSO,and get an optimum solution by conjugate gradient algorithm.The algorithm is suitable for the high-order multivariable system which has many parameters to be estimated in wide ranges.Hybrid optimization algorithm is applied to estimate the parameters of a 4-input 4-output state variable model(SVM) for aero-engine.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘Aiming at the obstacle avoidance trajectory planning problem in the landing process of the micro drone,this paper proposes a swarm optimization algorithm that combines the dragonfly optimization method and the differential evolution method.The orthogonal learning mechanism is adopted to realize the adaptive switch between the two algorithms.In the process of landing route planning,the planning plane is first obtained by making the gliding plane tangent to the obstacle.In the planning plane,the projection of obstacle is transformed into multiple unreachable line segments.By designing an optimization model,the 3D landing route planning problem is transformed into a 2D obstacle avoidance route optimization problem.Taking the shortest route as the optimization objective,the penalty factor is introduced into the cost function to avoid the intersection of the landing route and obstacle.During the optimization process,through the orthogonal learning of the intermediate iterative results,the hybrid algorithm can adaptively select the next iterative algorithm,so it can give full play to the respective advantages of the two algorithms.The optimization results show that,compared with the single optimization algorithm,the hybrid optimization algorithm proposed in this paper can better solve the problem of landing route planning for micro-small UAVs.

文摘Stable label movement and smooth label trajectory are critical for effective information understanding.Sudden label changes cannot be avoided by whatever forced directed methods due to the unreliability of resultant force or global optimization methods due to the complex trade-off on the different aspects.To solve this problem,we proposed a hybrid optimization method by taking advantages of the merits of both approaches.We first detect the spatial-temporal intersection regions from whole trajectories of the features,and initialize the layout by optimization in decreasing order by the number of the involved features.The label movements between the spatial-temporal intersection regions are determined by force directed methods.To cope with some features with high speed relative to neighbors,we introduced a force from future,called temporal force,so that the labels of related features can elude ahead of time and retain smooth movements.We also proposed a strategy by optimizing the label layout to predict the trajectories of features so that such global optimization method can be applied to streaming data.
文摘A novel approximation algorithm was proposed for the problem of finding the minimum total cost of all routes in Capacity Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). CVRP can be partitioned into three parts: the selection of vehicles among the available vehicles, the initial routing of the selected fleet and the routing optimization. Fuzzy C-means (FCM) can group the customers with close Euclidean distance into the same vehicle according to the principle of similar feature partition. Transiently chaotic neural network (TCNN) combines local search and global search, possessing high search efficiency. It will solve the routes to near optimality. A simple tabu search (TS) procedure can improve the routes to more optimality. The computations on benchmark problems and comparisons with other results in literatures show that the proposed algorithm is a viable and effective approach for CVRP.

文摘In this paper,a hybrid model based on sooty tern optimization algo-rithm(STOA)is proposed to optimize the parameters of the support vector machine(SVM)and identify the best feature sets simultaneously.Feature selec-tion is an essential process of data preprocessing,and it aims to find the most rele-vant subset of features.In recent years,it has been applied in many practical domains of intelligent systems.The application of SVM in many fields has proved its effectiveness in classification tasks of various types.Its performance is mainly determined by the kernel type and its parameters.One of the most challenging process in machine learning is feature selection,intending to select effective and representative features.The main disadvantages of feature selection processes included in classical optimization algorithm are local optimal stagnation and slow convergence.Therefore,the hybrid model proposed in this paper merges the STOA and differential evolution(DE)to improve the search efficiency and con-vergence rate.A series of experiments are conducted on 12 datasets from the UCI repository to comprehensively and objectively evaluate the performance of the proposed method.The superiority of the proposed method is illustrated from dif-ferent aspects,such as the classification accuracy,convergence performance,reduced feature dimensionality,standard deviation(STD),and computation time.
文摘Heuristic optimization methods provide a robust and efficient approach to solving complex optimization problems.This paper presents a hybrid optimization technique combining two heuristic optimization methods,artificial immune system(AIS) and particle swarm optimization(PSO),together in searching for the global optima of nonlinear functions.The proposed algorithm,namely hybrid anti-prematuration optimization method,contains four significant operators,i.e.swarm operator,cloning operator,suppression operator,and receptor editing operator.The swarm operator is inspired by the particle swarm intelligence,and the clone operator,suppression operator,and receptor editing operator are gleaned by the artificial immune system.The simulation results of three representative nonlinear test functions demonstrate the superiority of the hybrid optimization algorithm over the conventional methods with regard to both the solution quality and convergence rate.It is also employed to cope with a real-world optimization problem.

文摘The application of optimization methods to prediction issues is a continually exploring field.In line with this,this paper investigates the connectedness between the infected cases of COVID-19 and US fear index from a forecasting perspective.The complex characteristics of implied volatility risk index such as non-linearity structure,time-varying and nonstationarity motivate us to apply a nonlinear polynomial Hammerstein model with known structure and unknown parameters.We use the Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization(HPSO)tool to identify the model parameters of nonlinear polynomial Hammerstein model.Findings indicate that,following a nonlinear polynomial behaviour cascaded to an autoregressive with exogenous input(ARX)behaviour,the fear index in US financial market is significantly affected by COVID-19-infected cases in the US,COVID-19-infected cases in the world and COVID-19-infected cases in China,respectively.Statistical performance indicators provided by the developed models show that COVID-19-infected cases in the US are particularly powerful in predicting the Cboe volatility index compared to COVID-19-infected cases in the world and China(MAPE(2.1013%);R2(91.78%)and RMSE(0.6363 percentage points)).The proposed approaches have also shown good convergence characteristics and accurate fits of the data.

文摘The traditional tangent impulse interception problem does not consider the influence of actual deviation.However,by taking the actual state deviation of the interceptor into the orbit design process,an interception orbit that is more robust than the nominal orbit can be obtained.Therefore,we study the minimum time interception problem and the minimum terminal interception error problem under tangent impulse conditions and give an orbit optimization method that considers the interception time and the interception uncertainty.First,we express the interceptor's transfer time equation as a form of flight path angle,establish a global optimization model for solving the minimum time tangent impulse interception and give a hybrid optimization algorithm based on Augmented Lagrange Genetic Algorithm-Sequential Quadratic Programming(ALGA-SQP).Secondly,we use the universal time equation and Bootstrap resampling technology to calculate the interceptor's terminal error distribution and establish the relevant global optimization model by using the circumscribed cuboid volume of the interceptor's terminal position error ellipsoid as the optimization index.Finally,we combined the above two singleobjective optimization models to establish a global multi-objective optimization model that considers interception time and interception uncertainty and gave a hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm based on Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm Ⅱ-Goal Achievement Method(NSGA2-GAM).The simulation example verifies the effectiveness of this method.
文摘Accurate stereo vision calibration is a preliminary step towards high-precision visual posi- tioning of robot. Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras' parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion (DLT), GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.

文摘Based on the trajectory design of a mission to Saturn, this paper discusses four different trajectories in various swingby cases. We assume a single impulse to be applied in each case when the spacecraft approaches a celestial body. Some optimal trajectories ofEJS, EMS, EVEJS and EVVEJS flying sequences are obtained using five global optimization algorithms: DE, PSO, DP, the hybrid algorithm PSODE and another hybrid algorithm, DPDE. DE is proved to be supe- rior to other non-hybrid algorithms in the trajectory optimi- zation problem. The hybrid algorithm of PSO and DE can improve the optimization performance of DE, which is vali- dated by the mission to Saturn with given swingby sequences. Finally, the optimization results of four different swingby sequences are compared with those of the ACT of ESA.
