However, the performance of these algorithms may severely deteriorate when the optimization objectives for an accelerator are equal to or greater than four. Recently, many-objective evolutionary algorithms(MaOEAs)that can solve problems with four or more optimization objectives have received extensive attention. In this study, two diffraction-limited storage ring(DLSR) lattices of the Extremely Brilliant Source(ESRF-EBS) type with different energies were designed and optimized using three MaOEAs and a widely used MOEA. The initial population was found to have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithms and was carefully studied. The performances of the four algorithms were compared, and the results demonstrated that the grid-based evolutionary algorithm(GrEA) had the best performance.Ma OEAs were applied in many-objective optimization of DLSR lattices for the first time, and lattices with natural emittances of 116 and 23 pm·rad were obtained at energies of 2 and 6 GeV, respectively, both with reasonable dynamic aperture and local momentum aperture(LMA). This work provides a valuable reference for future many-objective optimization of DLSRs.展开更多

Our calculations show that the adaptive genetic algorithm is efficient and accurate in the process of identifying structures with excellent thermoelectric performance. In multiple rounds, an average of 476 candidates(only 2.88% of all16512 candidate structures) are calculated to obtain the structures with extremely high thermoelectric conversion efficiency.The room temperature thermoelectric figure of merit(ZT) of the optimal γ-GYNR incorporating DSSs is 1.622, which is about 5.4 times higher than that of pristine γ-GYNR(length 23.693 nm and width 2.660 nm). The significant improvement of thermoelectric performance of the optimal γ-GYNR is mainly attributed to the maximum balance of inhibition of thermal conductance(proactive effect) and reduction of thermal power factor(side effect). Moreover, through exploration of the main variables affecting the genetic algorithm, it is revealed that the efficiency of the genetic algorithm can be improved by optimizing the initial population gene pool, selecting a higher individual retention rate and a lower mutation rate. The results presented in this paper validate the effectiveness of genetic algorithm in accelerating the exploration of γ-GYNRs with high thermoelectric conversion efficiency, and could provide a new development solution for carbon-based thermoelectric materials.展开更多

In the proposed method, implicit and explicit formulationsare used for strong and weak coupling, respectively. Three feasible partitioned algorithms are generated, namely(1) a strongly coupled algorithm that uses a fully implicit formulation for both types of coupling, (2) a weaklycoupled algorithm that uses a fully explicit formulation for both types of coupling, and (3) a partially stronglycoupled and partially weakly coupled algorithm that uses an implicit formulation and an explicit formulation forthe two types of coupling, respectively.Numerical examples using a piezoelectric energy harvester,which is a typicalstructure-piezoelectric-circuit coupling problem, demonstrate that the proposed method selects the most costeffectivealgorithm.展开更多

The performances of the four algorithms were compared, and the results demonstrated that the grid-based evolutionary algorithm(GrEA) had the best performance.Ma OEAs were applied in many-objective optimization of DLSR lattices for the first time, and lattices with natural emittances of 116 and 23 pm·rad were obtained at energies of 2 and 6 GeV, respectively, both with reasonable dynamic aperture and local momentum aperture(LMA). This work provides a valuable reference for future many-objective optimization of DLSRs.

文摘This paper designs a distributed algorithm to seek generalized Nash equilibria of a robust game with uncertain coupled constraints.Due to the uncertainty of parameters in set constraints,the authors aim to find a generalized Nash equilibrium in the worst case.However,it is challenging to obtain the exact equilibria directly because the parameters are from general convex sets,which may not have analytic expressions or are endowed with high-dimensional nonlinearities.To solve this problem,the authors first approximate parameter sets with inscribed polyhedrons,and transform the approximate problem in the worst case into an extended certain game with resource allocation constraints by robust optimization.Then the authors propose a distributed algorithm for this certain game and prove that an equilibrium obtained from the algorithm induces anε-generalized Nash equilibrium of the original game,followed by convergence analysis.Moreover,resorting to the metric spaces and the analysis on nonlinear perturbed systems,the authors estimate the approximation accuracy related toεand point out the factors influencing the accuracy ofε.

文摘In order to solve the problem of poor fusion between the spots of deformation camouflage and the background,a small-spot deformation camouflage design algorithm based on background texture matching is proposed in this research.The combination of spots and textures improved the fusion of the spot pattern and the background.An adversarial autoencoder convolutional network was designed to extract background texture features.The image adversarial loss was added and the reconstruction loss was improved to improve the clarity of the generated texture pattern and the generalization ability of the model.The digital camouflage was formed by obtaining the mean value of the square area and replacing the main color.At the same time,the spots in the square area with a side length of 2 s were subjected to simple linear iterative clustering to form irregular small-spot camouflage.A dataset with a scale of 1050 was established in the experiment.The training results of three different loss functions were investigated.The results showed that the proposed loss function could enhance the generalization of the model and improve the quality of the generated texture image.A variety of digital camouflages with main colors and irregular small-spot camouflage were generated,and their efficiency was tested.On the one hand,intuitive evaluation was given by personnel observing the camouflage pattern embedded in the background and its contour map calculated by the canny operator.On the other hand,objective comparison result was formed by calculating the 4 evaluation indexes between the camouflage pattern and the background.Both results showed that the generated pattern had a high degree of fusion with the background.This model could balance the relationship between the spot size,the number of main colors and the actual effect according to actual needs.

文摘The gamma-graphyne nanoribbons(γ-GYNRs) incorporating diamond-shaped segment(DSSs) with excellent thermoelectric properties are systematically investigated by combining nonequilibrium Green’s functions with adaptive genetic algorithm. Our calculations show that the adaptive genetic algorithm is efficient and accurate in the process of identifying structures with excellent thermoelectric performance. In multiple rounds, an average of 476 candidates(only 2.88% of all16512 candidate structures) are calculated to obtain the structures with extremely high thermoelectric conversion efficiency.The room temperature thermoelectric figure of merit(ZT) of the optimal γ-GYNR incorporating DSSs is 1.622, which is about 5.4 times higher than that of pristine γ-GYNR(length 23.693 nm and width 2.660 nm). The significant improvement of thermoelectric performance of the optimal γ-GYNR is mainly attributed to the maximum balance of inhibition of thermal conductance(proactive effect) and reduction of thermal power factor(side effect). Moreover, through exploration of the main variables affecting the genetic algorithm, it is revealed that the efficiency of the genetic algorithm can be improved by optimizing the initial population gene pool, selecting a higher individual retention rate and a lower mutation rate. The results presented in this paper validate the effectiveness of genetic algorithm in accelerating the exploration of γ-GYNRs with high thermoelectric conversion efficiency, and could provide a new development solution for carbon-based thermoelectric materials.

文摘In a vehicular ad hoc network(VANET),a massive quantity of data needs to be transmitted on a large scale in shorter time durations.At the same time,vehicles exhibit high velocity,leading to more vehicle disconnections.Both of these characteristics result in unreliable data communication in VANET.A vehicle clustering algorithm clusters the vehicles in groups employed in VANET to enhance network scalability and connection reliability.Clustering is considered one of the possible solutions for attaining effectual interaction in VANETs.But one such difficulty was reducing the cluster number under increasing transmitting nodes.This article introduces an Evolutionary Hide Objects Game Optimization based Distance Aware Clustering(EHOGO-DAC)Scheme for VANET.The major intention of the EHOGO-DAC technique is to portion the VANET into distinct sets of clusters by grouping vehicles.In addition,the DHOGO-EAC technique is mainly based on the HOGO algorithm,which is stimulated by old games,and the searching agent tries to identify hidden objects in a given space.The DHOGO-EAC technique derives a fitness function for the clustering process,including the total number of clusters and Euclidean distance.The experimental assessment of the DHOGO-EAC technique was carried out under distinct aspects.The comparison outcome stated the enhanced outcomes of the DHOGO-EAC technique compared to recent approaches.
文摘The deployment of sensor nodes is an important aspect in mobile wireless sensor networks for increasing network performance.The longevity of the networks is mostly determined by the proportion of energy consumed and the sensor nodes’access network.The optimal or ideal positioning of sensors improves the portable sensor networks effectiveness.Coverage and energy usage are mostly determined by successful sensor placement strategies.Nature-inspired algorithms are the most effective solution for short sensor lifetime.The primary objective of work is to conduct a comparative analysis of nature-inspired optimization for wireless sensor networks(WSNs’)maximum network coverage.Moreover,it identifies quantity of installed sensor nodes for the given area.Superiority of algorithm has been identified based on value of optimized energy.The first half of the paper’s literature on nature-inspired algorithms is discussed.Later six metaheuristics algorithms(Grey wolf,Ant lion,Dragonfly,Whale,Moth flame,Sine cosine optimizer)are compared for optimal coverage of WSNs.The simulation outcomes confirm that whale opti-mization algorithm(WOA)gives optimized Energy with improved network coverage with the least number of nodes.This comparison will be helpful for researchers who will use WSNs in their applications.

文摘As a new bionic algorithm,Spider Monkey Optimization(SMO)has been widely used in various complex optimization problems in recent years.However,the new space exploration power of SMO is limited and the diversity of the population in SMO is not abundant.Thus,this paper focuses on how to reconstruct SMO to improve its performance,and a novel spider monkey optimization algorithm with opposition-based learning and orthogonal experimental design(SMO^(3))is developed.A position updatingmethod based on the historical optimal domain and particle swarmfor Local Leader Phase(LLP)andGlobal Leader Phase(GLP)is presented to improve the diversity of the population of SMO.Moreover,an opposition-based learning strategy based on self-extremum is proposed to avoid suffering from premature convergence and getting stuck at locally optimal values.Also,a local worst individual elimination method based on orthogonal experimental design is used for helping the SMO algorithm eliminate the poor individuals in time.Furthermore,an extended SMO^(3)named CSMO^(3)is investigated to deal with constrained optimization problems.The proposed algorithm is applied to both unconstrained and constrained functions which include the CEC2006 benchmark set and three engineering problems.Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than three well-known SMO algorithms and other evolutionary algorithms in unconstrained and constrained problems.
文摘Controlled thermonuclear reactors require consistent monitoring of plasma in the toroidal chamber.Better working conditions of such machines can be monitored by analyzing its radiations.Various wavelengths such as 656.3,486.1,464.7 nm are quite significant which are used for health monitoring of thermonuclear machines.The optical thinfilmfilters which work on construc-tive and destructive interference are the ideal choices.Thesefilters are multi-layered with a pair of high and low refractive index dielectric materials.Significantly high transmission index at the desired wavelength and relatively low transmission at the other wavelengths are desired.With this as the objective,it is necessary to design thefilter.Various optimization techniques are used for identifying the suitable design of thefilters.To choose the parameter combination that provides the most excellent performance,optimization of the design para-meters is entailed.The goal of this work is to improve the optical bandfilter using the Bald eagle search optimization(BES)method.The ideal design is determined by assessing several characteristics such as thickness,refractive index,Full-Width at Half-Maximum(FWHM),and the impact of choosing optical properties,which increases transmission potential.Initially,an alternate multi-layer stack with 28,30,and 32 layers is created by altering the thickness while keeping the dielectric substances high and low refractive indices constant.By adjusting the thickness of each layer,the BES algorithm achieves the best practical solution.The proposed method is implemented using MATLAB and the outcomes show the efficacy of the proposed technique.The transmittance,reflectance,and FWHM using the pro-posed BES are found to be 99.9356%,0.065%,and 1.2 nm respectively.
文摘Using an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm(IPSO)to drive a transfer matrix method,a nonreciprocal absorber with an ultrawide absorption bandwidth and angular insensitivity is realized in plasma-embedded photonic crystals arranged in a structure composed of periodic and quasi-periodic sequences on a normalized scale.The effective dielectric function,which determines the absorption of the plasma,is subject to the basic parameters of the plasma,causing the absorption of the proposed absorber to be easily modulated by these parameters.Compared with other quasi-periodic sequences,the Octonacci sequence is superior both in relative bandwidth and absolute bandwidth.Under further optimization using IPSO with 14 parameters set to be optimized,the absorption characteristics of the proposed structure with different numbers of layers of the smallest structure unit N are shown and discussed.IPSO is also used to address angular insensitive nonreciprocal ultrawide bandwidth absorption,and the optimized result shows excellent unidirectional absorbability and angular insensitivity of the proposed structure.The impacts of the sequence number of quasi-periodic sequence M and collision frequency of plasma1ν1 to absorption in the angle domain and frequency domain are investigated.Additionally,the impedance match theory and the interference field theory are introduced to express the findings of the algorithm.
文摘It is a major challenge for the airframe-inlet design of modern combat aircrafts,as the flow and electromagnetic wave propagation in the inlet of stealth aircraft are very complex.In this study,an aerodynamic/stealth optimization design method for an S-duct inlet is proposed.The upwind scheme is introduced to the aerodynamic adjoint equation to resolve the shock wave and flow separation.The multilevel fast multipole algorithm(MLFMA)is utilized for the stealth adjoint equation.A dorsal S-duct inlet of flying wing layout is optimized to improve the aerodynamic and stealth characteristics.Both the aerodynamic and stealth characteristics of the inlet are effectively improved.Finally,the optimization results are analyzed,and it shows that the main contradiction between aerodynamic characteristics and stealth characteristics is the centerline and crosssectional area.The S-duct is smoothed,and the cross-sectional area is increased to improve the aerodynamic characteristics,while it is completely opposite for the stealth design.The radar cross section(RCS)is reduced by phase cancelation for low frequency conditions.The method is suitable for the aerodynamic/stealth design of the aircraft airframe-inlet system.

文摘In this study, we propose an algorithm selection method based on coupling strength for the partitioned analysis ofstructure-piezoelectric-circuit coupling, which includes two types of coupling or inverse and direct piezoelectriccoupling and direct piezoelectric and circuit coupling. In the proposed method, implicit and explicit formulationsare used for strong and weak coupling, respectively. Three feasible partitioned algorithms are generated, namely(1) a strongly coupled algorithm that uses a fully implicit formulation for both types of coupling, (2) a weaklycoupled algorithm that uses a fully explicit formulation for both types of coupling, and (3) a partially stronglycoupled and partially weakly coupled algorithm that uses an implicit formulation and an explicit formulation forthe two types of coupling, respectively.Numerical examples using a piezoelectric energy harvester,which is a typicalstructure-piezoelectric-circuit coupling problem, demonstrate that the proposed method selects the most costeffectivealgorithm.
