The p...A generalized multiple-mode prolate spherical wave functions (PSWFs) multi-carrier with index modulation approach is proposed with the purpose of improving the spectral efficiency of PSWFs multi-carrier systems. The proposed method,based on the optimized multi-index modulation, does not limit the number of signals in the first and second constellations and abandons the concept of limiting the number of signals in different constellations. It successfully increases the spectrum efficiency of the system while expanding the number of modulation symbol combinations and the index dimension of PSWFs signals. The proposed method outperforms the PSWFs multi-carrier index modulation method based on optimized multiple indexes in terms of spectrum efficiency, but at the expense of system computational complexity and bit error performance. For example, with n=10 subcarriers and a bit error rate of 1×10^(-5),spectral efficiency can be raised by roughly 12.4%.展开更多

The method can be solved under the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm and the Newdon-Armijio (NA) algorithm easily, however the accuracy of sigmoid function is not as good as that of polyno- mial smooth function. Furthermore, the method cannot reduce the influence of outliers or noise in dataset. A fuzzy smooth support vector machine (FSSVM) with fuzzy membership and polynomial smooth functions is introduced into the SVM. The fuzzy member- ship considers the contribution rate of each sample to the optimal separating hyperplane and makes the optimization problem more accurate at the inflection point. Those changes play a positive role on trials. The results of the experiments show that those FSSVMs can obtain a better accuracy and consume the shorter time than SSVM and lagrange support vector machine (LSVM).展开更多

Finally,experiments with both natural and artificial data are carried out to compare with other methods,and the results approve the validity of the algorithm.展开更多

文摘It follows from the analysis of artillery fire errors that approximately two-thirds of the inaccuracy of indirect artillery fire is caused by inaccuracies in the determination of the meteo parameters included in fire error budget model.Trajectories calculated under non-standard conditions are considered to be perturbed.The tools utilized for the analysis of perturbed trajectories are weighting factor functions(WFFs)which are a special kind of sensitivity functions.WFFs are used for calculation of meteo ballistic elements B(ballistic wind w B,densityρB,virtual temperatureτB,pressure p B)as well.We have found that the existing theory of WFF calculation has several significant shortcomings.The aim of the article is to present a new,improved theory of generalized WFFs that eliminates the deficiencies found.Using this theory will improve methods for designing firing tables,fire control systems algorithms,and meteo message generation algorithms.
文摘In this work,the Fukui functions of the two ~2P resonance states of Be,a ~2P resonance state of Mg~–,and a ~2D resonance state of Ca~– have been determined.The trajectories of these resonance states,in conjunction with the complex rotation of the Hamiltonian,were used to determine their wave functions.The electron densities,Fukui functions,and values of the hyper-radius<r^2>were computed from these wave functions.The Fukui functions have negative regions in the valence shell in addition to the inner shell regions,indicating screening effects of the outer temporary electron.Selected configuration interactions with up to quadruple excitations were used along the trajectories and for computing the final wave function.Based on this data,the densities,Fukui functions,and<r^2>were calculated.

文摘The Radial Basis Functions Neural Network (RBFNN) is used to establish the model of a response system through the input and output data of the system. The synchronization between a drive system and the response system can be implemented by employing the RBFNN model and state feedback control. In this case, the exact mathematical model, which is the precondition for the conventional method, is unnecessary for implementing synchronization. The effect of the model error is investigated and a corresponding theorem is developed. The effect of the parameter perturbations and the measurement noise is investigated through simulations. The simulation results under different conditions show the effectiveness of the method.

文摘A method is developed by which control Lyapunov functions of a class of nonlinear systems can be constructed systematically. Based on the control Lyapunov function, a feedback control is obtained to stabilize the closed-loop system. In addition, this method is applied to stabilize the Benchmark system. A simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.

文摘The stabilization of discrete nonlinear systems is studied. Based on control Lyapunov functions, a sufficient and necessary condition for a quadratic function to be a control Lyapunov function is given. From this condition, a continuous state feedback law is constructed explicitly. It can globally asymptotically stabilize the equilibrium of the closed-loop system. A simulation example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘Neuro-fuzzy(NF)networks are adaptive fuzzy inference systems(FIS)and have been applied to feature selection by some researchers.However,their rule number will grow exponentially as the data dimension increases.On the other hand,feature selection algorithms with artificial neural networks(ANN)usually require normalization of input data,which will probably change some characteristics of original data that are important for classification.To overcome the problems mentioned above,this paper combines the fuzzification layer of the neuro-fuzzy system with the multi-layer perceptron(MLP)to form a new artificial neural network.Furthermore,fuzzification strategy and feature measurement based on membership space are proposed for feature selection. Finally,experiments with both natural and artificial data are carried out to compare with other methods,and the results approve the validity of the algorithm.
