We study the relaxation dynamics in a one-dimensional extended Bose–Hubbard model after a global interaction quench by considering several observables: the local Boson numbers, the nonlocal entanglement entropy, and the momentum distribution functions. We calculate the thermalization fidelity for different quench parameters and different sizes of subsystems, and the results show that the degree of thermalization is affected by the distance from the integrable point and the size of the subsystem. We employ the Pearson coefficient as the measurement of the correlation between the entanglement entropy and thermalization fidelity, and a strong correlation is demonstrated for the quenched system.展开更多

文摘Hydraulic servo system plays an important role in industrial fields due to the advantages of high response,small size-to-power ratio and large driving force.However,inherent nonlinear behaviors and modeling uncertainties are the main obstacles for hydraulic servo system to achieve high tracking perfor-mance.To deal with these difficulties,this paper presents a backstepping sliding mode controller to improve the dynamic tracking performance and anti-interfer-ence ability.For this purpose,the nonlinear dynamic model is firstly established,where the nonlinear behaviors and modeling uncertainties are lumped as one term.Then,the extended state observer is introduced to estimate the lumped distur-bance.The system stability is proved by using the Lyapunov stability theorem.Finally,comparative simulation and experimental are conducted on a hydraulic servo system platform to verify the efficiency of the proposed control scheme.

文摘In this article,we highlight a new three-parameter heavy-tailed lifetime distribution that aims to extend the modeling possibilities of the Lomax distribution.It is called the extended Lomax distribution.The considered distribution naturally appears as the distribution of a transformation of a random variable following the logweighted power distribution recently introduced for percentage or proportion data analysis purposes.As a result,its cumulative distribution has the same functional basis as that of the Lomax distribution,but with a novel special logarithmic term depending on several parameters.The modulation of this logarithmic term reveals new types of asymetrical shapes,implying a modeling horizon beyond that of the Lomax distribution.In the first part,we examine several of its mathematical properties,such as the shapes of the related probability and hazard rate functions;stochastic comparisons;manageable expansions for various moments;and quantile properties.In particular,based on the quantile functions,various actuarial measures are discussed.In the second part,the distribution’s applicability is investigated with the use of themaximumlikelihood estimationmethod.The behavior of the obtained parameter estimates is validated by a simulation work.Insurance claim data are analyzed.We show that the proposed distribution outperforms eight well-known distributions,including the Lomax distribution and several extended Lomax distributions.In addition,we demonstrate that it gives preferable inferences from these competitor distributions in terms of risk measures.

文摘The goal of this work is to provide an understanding of estimation technology for both linear and nonlinear dynamical systems.A critical analysis of both the Kalman filter(KF)and the extended Kalman filter(EKF)will be provided,along with examples to illustrate some important issues related to filtering convergence due to system modeling.A conceptual explanation of the topic with illustrative examples provided in the paper can help the readers capture the essential principles and avoid making mistakes while implementing the algorithms.Adding fictitious process noise to the system model assumed by the filter designers for convergence assurance is being investigated.A comparison of estimation accuracy with linear and nonlinear measurements is made.Parameter identification by the state estimation method through the augmentation of the state vector is also discussed.The intended readers of this article may include researchers,working engineers,or engineering students.This article can serve as a better understanding of the topic as well as a further connection to probability,stochastic process,and system theory.The lesson learned enables the readers to interpret the theory and algorithms appropriately and precisely implement the computer codes that nicely match the estimation algorithms related to the mathematical equations.This is especially helpful for those readers with less experience or background in optimal estimation theory,as it provides a solid foundation for further study on the theory and applications of the topic.

文摘Exploring the role of entanglement in quantum nonequilibrium dynamics is important to understand the mechanism of thermalization in an isolated system. We study the relaxation dynamics in a one-dimensional extended Bose–Hubbard model after a global interaction quench by considering several observables: the local Boson numbers, the nonlocal entanglement entropy, and the momentum distribution functions. We calculate the thermalization fidelity for different quench parameters and different sizes of subsystems, and the results show that the degree of thermalization is affected by the distance from the integrable point and the size of the subsystem. We employ the Pearson coefficient as the measurement of the correlation between the entanglement entropy and thermalization fidelity, and a strong correlation is demonstrated for the quenched system.
文摘It is necessary to know the status of adhesion conditions between wheel and rail for efficient accelerating and decelerating of railroad vehicle.The proper estimation of adhesion conditions and their real-time implementation is considered a challenge for scholars.In this paper,the development of simulation model of extended Kalman filter(EKF)in MATLAB/Simulink is presented to estimate various railway wheelset parameters in different contact conditions of track.Due to concurrent in nature,the Xilinx®System-on-Chip Zynq Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)device is chosen to check the onboard estimation ofwheel-rail interaction parameters by using the National Instruments(NI)myRIO®development board.The NImyRIO®development board is flexible to deal with nonlinearities,uncertain changes,and fastchanging dynamics in real-time occurring in wheel-rail contact conditions during vehicle operation.The simulated dataset of the railway nonlinear wheelsetmodel is tested on FPGA-based EKF with different track conditions and with accelerating and decelerating operations of the vehicle.The proposed model-based estimation of railway wheelset parameters is synthesized on FPGA and its simulation is carried out for functional verification on FPGA.The obtained simulation results are aligned with the simulation results obtained through MATLAB.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first time study that presents the implementation of a model-based estimation of railway wheelset parameters on FPGA and its functional verification.The functional behavior of the FPGA-based estimator shows that these results are the addition of current knowledge in the field of the railway.

文摘During extended warranty(EW)period,maintenance events play a key role in controlling the product systems within normal operations.However,the modelling of failure process and maintenance optimization is complicated owing to the complex features of the product system,namely,components of the multi-component system are interdependent with each other in some form.For the purpose of optimizing the EW pricing decision of the multi-component system scientifically and rationally,taking the series multi-component system with economic dependence sold with EW policy as a research object,this paper optimizes the imperfect preventive maintenance(PM)strategy from the standpoint of EW cost.Taking into consideration adjusting the PM moments of the components in the system,a group maintenance model is developed,in which the system is repaired preventively in accordance with a specified PM base interval.In order to compare with the system EW cost before group maintenance,the system EW cost model before group maintenance is developed.Numerical example demonstrates that offering group maintenance programs can reduce EW cost of the system to a great extent,thereby reducing the EW price,which proves to be a win-win strategy to manufacturers and users.

文摘In this paper,we propose an extended hybrid carrier system based on the weighted fractional Fourier transform to ensure the reliability of wireless communication.The proposed scheme improves the dispersion and compensation capabilities of the hybrid carrier system for channel fading through the design of the signal power distribution,which has greatly reduced the probability of high-power distortion of the signal and improved the bit error rate performance as a result.Theoretical analysis has shown the superiority of the extended hybrid carrier system.With a lower cost of computational complexity increment,the proposed scheme obtains a performance improvement without occupying additional time-frequency physical resources.Compared with the existing hybrid carrier scheme,numerical simulation results have shown that the proposed extended hybrid carrier scheme has better anti-fading performance under the doubly-selective channel and improves the reliability of the wireless communication system effectively.
文摘Based on the Hirota bilinear method,the second extended(3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation is established.By Maple symbolic calculation,lump and lump-kink soliton solutions are obtained.The interaction solutions between the lump and multi-kink soliton,and the interaction between the lump and triangular periodic soliton are derived by combining a multi-exponential function or trigonometric sine and cosine functions with quadratic functions.Furthermore,periodiclump wave solution is derived via the ansatz including hyperbolic and trigonometric functions.Finally,3D plots,2D curves,density plots,and contour plots with particular choices of the suitable parameters are depicted to illustrate the dynamical features of these solutions.
文摘BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the usage of extended criteria donor(ECD)grafts in liver transplantation(LT)for acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)patients.AIM To summarize the experience of using ECD livers in ACLF-LT.METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted,enrolling patients who underwent LT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2015 to November 2021.The patients were divided into ECD and non-ECD groups for analysis.RESULTS A total of 145 recipients were enrolled in this study,of which ECD and non-ECD recipients accounted for 53.8%and 46.2%,respectively.Donation after cardiac death(DCD)recipients accounted for the minority compared with donation after brain death(DBD)recipients(16.6%vs 83.4%).Neither overall survival nor graft survival significantly differed between ECD and non-ECD and DCD and DBD recipients.ECD grafts were associated with a significantly higher incidence of early allograft dysfunction(EAD)than non-ECD grafts(67.9%vs 41.8%,P=0.002).Postoperative outcomes between DCD and DBD recipients were comparable(P>0.05).ECD graft(P=0.009),anhepatic phase(P=0.034)and recipient gamma glutamyltransferase(P=0.016)were independent risk factors for EAD.Recipient preoperative number of extrahepatic organ failures>2(P=0.015)and intraoperative blood loss(P=0.000)were independent predictors of poor post-LT survival.CONCLUSION Although related to a higher risk of EAD,ECD grafts can be safely used in ACLF-LT.The main factors affecting post-LT survival in ACLF patients are their own severe preoperative disease and intraoperative blood loss.

文摘Enhancing the sense of presence of participants is an important issue in terms of security awareness for remote collaboration in extended reality.However,conventional methods are insufficient to be aware of remote situations and to search for and control remote workspaces.This study pro-poses a spatial multi-presence system that simultaneously provides multiple spaces while rapidly exploring these spaces as users perform collaborative work in an extended reality environment.The proposed system provides methods for arranging and manipulating remote and personal spaces by creating an annular screen that is invisible to the user.The user can freely arrange remote participants and their workspaces on the annular screen.Because users can simultaneously view various spaces arranged on the annular screen,they can perform collaborative work while simultaneously feeling the presence of multiple spaces and can be fully immersed in a specific space.In addition,the personal spaces where users work can also be arranged through the annular screen.According to the results of the performance evaluations,users participating in remote collaborative works can visualize the spaces of multiple users simultaneously and feel their presence,thereby increasing their understanding of the spaces.Moreover,the proposed system reduces the time to perform tasks and gain awareness of the emergency in remote workspaces.
