Estimation of Tsunami Run-up Height by Three Artificial Neural Network Methods

Tsunami ran-up height is a significant parameter for dimensions of coastal structures. In the present study, tsunami run-up heights are estimated by three different Artificial Neural Network （ANN） models, i.e. Feed Forward Back Propagation （FFBP）, Radial Basis Functions （RBF） and Generalized Regression Neural Network （GRNN）. As the input for the ANN configuration, the wave height （H） values are employed. It is shown that the tsunami ran-up height values are closely approximated with all of the applied ANN methods. The ANN estimations are slightly superior to those of the empirical equation. It can be seen that the ANN applications are especially significant in the absence of adequate number of laboratory experiments. The results also prove that the available experiment data set can be extended with ANN simulations. This may be helpful to decrease the burden of the experimental studies and to supply results for comparisons.

It also shows that deep learning algorithms perform better than the other commonly used methods and have high application value.

Fractal Solitons, Arbitrary Function Solutions, Exact Periodic Wave and Breathers for a Nonlinear Partial Differential Equation by Using Bilinear Neural Network Method

This paper extends a method, called bilinear neural network method(BNNM), to solve exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equation. New, test functions are constructed by using this method. These test functions are composed of specific activation functions of single-layer model,specific activation functions of "2-2" model and arbitrary functions of "2-2-3" model. By means of the BNNM, nineteen sets of exact analytical solutions and twenty-four arbitrary function solutions of the dimensionally reduced p-gB KP equation are obtained via symbolic computation with the help of Maple. The fractal solitons waves are obtained by choosing appropriate values and the self-similar characteristics of these waves are observed by reducing the observation range and amplifying the partial picture. By giving a specific activation function in the single layer neural network model, exact periodic waves and breathers are obtained. Via various three-dimensional plots, contour plots and density plots,the evolution characteristic of these waves are exhibited.

A New Artificial Neural Network Method for Solving Schrodinger Equations on Unbounded Domains

The simulation for particle or soliton propagation based on linear or nonlinear Schrodinger equations on unbounded domains requires the computational domain to be bounded,and therefore,a special boundary treatment such as an absorbing boundary condition(ABC)or a perfectly matched layer(PML)is needed so that the reflections of outgoing waves at the boundary can be minimized in order to prevent the destruction of the simulation.This article presents a new artificial neural network(ANN)method for solving linear and nonlinear Schrodinger equations on unbounded domains.In particular,this method randomly selects training points only from the bounded computational space-time domain,and the loss function involves only the initial condition and the Schrodinger equation itself in the computational domainwithout any boundary conditions.Moreover,unlike standard ANNmethods that calculate gradients using expensive automatic differentiation,this method uses accurate finitedifference approximations for the physical gradients in the Schrodinger equation.In addition,a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is implemented for preferentially selecting regions of high loss in the computational domain allowing for the use of fewer training points in each batch.As such,the present training method uses fewer training points and less computation time for convergence of the loss function as compared with the standard ANN methods.This new ANN method is illustrated using three examples.

VPVnet:A Velocity-Pressure-Vorticity Neural Network Method for the Stokes’Equations under Reduced Regularity

We present VPVnet,a deep neural network method for the Stokes’equa-tions under reduced regularity.Different with recently proposed deep learning meth-ods[40,51]which are based on the original form of PDEs,VPVnet uses the least square functional of thefirst-order velocity-pressure-vorticity(VPV)formulation([30])as loss functions.As such,onlyfirst-order derivative is required in the loss functions,hence the method is applicable to a much larger class of problems,e.g.problems with non-smooth solutions.Despite that several methods have been proposed recently to reduce the regularity requirement by transforming the original problem into a corresponding variational form,while for the Stokes’equations,the choice of approximating spaces for the velocity and the pressure has to satisfy the LBB condition additionally.Here by making use of the VPV formulation,lower regularity requirement is achieved with no need for considering the LBB condition.Convergence and error estimates have been established for the proposed method.It is worth emphasizing that the VPVnet method is divergence-free and pressure-robust,while classical inf-sup stable mixedfinite elements for the Stokes’equations are not pressure-robust.Various numerical experiments including 2D and 3D lid-driven cavity test cases are conducted to demon-strate its efficiency and accuracy.

Hierarchical Neural Networks Method for Fault Diagnosis of Large-Scale Analog Circuits

A novel hierarchical neural networks (HNNs) method for fault diagnosis of large-scale circuits is proposed. The presented techniques using neural networks(NNs) approaches require a large amount of computation for simulating various faulty component possibilities. For large scale circuits, the number of possible faults, and hence the simulations, grow rapidly and become tedious and sometimes even impractical. Some NNs are distributed to the torn sub-blocks according to the proposed torn principles of large scale circuits. And the NNs are trained in batches by different patterns in the light of the presented rules of various patterns when the DC, AC and transient responses of the circuit are available. The method is characterized by decreasing the over-lapped feasible domains of responses of circuits with tolerance and leads to better performance and higher correct classification. The methodology is illustrated by means of diagnosis examples.

Marine target detection based on Marine-Faster R-CNN for navigation radar plane position indicator images

As a classic deep learning target detection algorithm,Faster R-CNN(region convolutional neural network)has been widely used in high-resolution synthetic aperture radar(SAR)and inverse SAR(ISAR)image detection.However,for most common low-resolution radar plane position indicator(PPI)images,it is difficult to achieve good performance.In this paper,taking navigation radar PPI images as an example,a marine target detection method based on the Marine-Faster R-CNN algorithm is proposed in the case of complex background(e.g.,sea clutter)and target characteristics.The method performs feature extraction and target recognition on PPI images generated by radar echoes with the convolutional neural network(CNN).First,to improve the accuracy of detecting marine targets and reduce the false alarm rate,Faster R-CNN was optimized as the Marine-Faster R-CNN in five respects:new backbone network,anchor size,dense target detection,data sample balance,and scale normalization.Then,JRC(Japan Radio Co.,Ltd.)navigation radar was used to collect echo data under different conditions to build a marine target dataset.Finally,comparisons with the classic Faster R-CNN method and the constant false alarm rate(CFAR)algorithm proved that the proposed method is more accurate and robust,has stronger generalization ability,and can be applied to the detection of marine targets for navigation radar.Its performance was tested with datasets from different observation conditions(sea states,radar parameters,and different targets).
