This paper focuses on the CDS problem in wireless networks. Investigation of some properties of independent set (IS) in UDGs shows that geometric features of nodes distribution like angle and area can be used to design efficient heuristics for the approximation algorithms. Several constant factor approximation algorithms are presented for the CDS problem in UDGs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms perform better than some known ones.展开更多

On one hand, the quasiexact/exact solution obtained in the time/frequency domain is time-consuming and just as a reference value for approximate solutions;on the other hand, calculation errors and application range of approximate solutions not only rely on approximate algorithms but also on discharge modes. For the purpose to track the transient dynamics for Li solid-phase diffusion in spherical active particles with a tolerable error range and for a wide applicable range, it is necessary to choose optimal approximate algorithms in terms of discharge modes and the nature of active material particles. In this study, approximation methods,such as diffusion length method, polynomial profile approximation method, Padé approximation method,pseudo steady state method, eigenfunction-based Galerkin collocation method, and separation of variables method for solving Li solid-phase diffusion in spherical active particles are compared from calculation fundamentals to algorithm implementation. Furthermore, these approximate solutions are quantitatively compared to the quasi-exact/exact solution in the time/frequency domain under typical discharge modes, i.e., start-up, slow-down, and speed-up. The results obtained from the viewpoint of time-frequency analysis offer a theoretical foundation on how to track Li transient concentration profile in spherical active particles with a high precision and for a wide application range. In turn, optimal solutions of Li solid diffusion equations for spherical active particles can improve the reliability in predicting safe operating regime and estimating maximum power for automotive batteries.展开更多

Taking aim at the high cost of the traditional "leader-follower" positioning,a "parallel" model is adopted to describe the localization problem. Under an unknown-but-bounded assumption for sensor noise,bearing and range measurements can be modeled as linear constraints on the configuration space of the AUVs. Merged these constraints,a convex polyhedron representing the set of all configurations consistent with the sensor measurements can be induced. Estimates for the uncertainty in the position of a single AUV or the relative positions of two or more AUVs can then be obtained by projecting this polyhedron into appropriate subspaces of the configuration space. The localization uncertain region for each AUV can be recovered by an approximation algorithm to realize underwater localization for multiple AUVs. The deduced theoretically and the simulated results show that it is an economical and practical localization method for the AUV swarm.展开更多
