Abstract This paper proposes a multi-material topology optimization method based on the hybrid reliability of the probability-ellipsoid model with stress constraint for the stochastic uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty of mechanical loads in optimization design. The probabilistic model is combined with the ellipsoidal model to describe the uncertainty of mechanical loads. The topology optimization formula is combined with the ordered solid isotropic material with penalization (ordered-SIMP) multi-material interpolation model. The stresses of all elements are integrated into a global stress measurement that approximates the maximum stress using the normalized p-norm function. Furthermore, the sequential optimization and reliability assessment (SORA) is applied to… More >

Abstract The frequent missing values in radar-derived time-series tracks of aerial targets (RTT-AT) lead to significant challenges in subsequent data-driven tasks. However, the majority of imputation research focuses on random missing (RM) that differs significantly from common missing patterns of RTT-AT. The method for solving the RM may experience performance degradation or failure when applied to RTT-AT imputation. Conventional autoregressive deep learning methods are prone to error accumulation and long-term dependency loss. In this paper, a non-autoregressive imputation model that addresses the issue of missing value imputation for two common missing patterns in RTT-AT is proposed. Our model consists of two… More >

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking has been possible because of the growth of intelligent information technology in smart cities, making it simple to gather data at any time by dynamically monitoring events, people, the environment, and other aspects in the city. The traditional filter creates a model to address the boundary effect and time filter degradation issues in UAV tracking operations. But these methods ignore the loss of data integrity terms since they are overly dependent on numerous explicit previous regularization terms. In light of the aforementioned issues, this work suggests a dual-domain Jensen-Shannon divergence correlation filter (DJSCF) model address… More >

Abstract The Hamiltonian cycle problem (HCP), which is an NP-complete problem, consists of having a graph G with nodes and m edges and finding the path that connects each node exactly once. In this paper we compare some algorithms to solve a Hamiltonian cycle problem, using different models of computations and especially the probabilistic and quantum ones. Starting from the classical probabilistic approach of random walks, we take a step to the quantum direction by involving an ad hoc designed Quantum Turing Machine (QTM), which can be a useful conceptual project tool for quantum algorithms. Introducing several constraints to the graphs,… More >

Abstract Industrial control systems (ICSs) are widely used in various fields, and the information security problems of ICSs are increasingly serious. The existing evaluation methods fail to describe the uncertain evaluation information and group evaluation information of experts. Thus, this paper introduces the probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) to model the evaluation information of experts. Meanwhile, we propose a probabilistic linguistic multi-criteria decision-making (PL-MCDM) method to solve the information security assessment problem of ICSs. Firstly, we propose a novel subscript equivalence distance measure of PLTSs to improve the existing methods. Secondly, we use the Best Worst Method (BWM) method and Criteria… More >

Abstract In previous research on two-sided matching (TSM) decision, agents’ preferences were often given in the form of exact values of ordinal numbers and linguistic phrase term sets. Nowdays, the matching agent cannot perform the exact evaluation in the TSM situations due to the great fuzziness of human thought and the complexity of reality. Probability hesitant fuzzy sets, however, have grown in popularity due to their advantages in communicating complex information. Therefore, this paper develops a TSM decision-making approach with multi-attribute probability hesitant fuzzy sets and unknown attribute weight information. The agent attribute weight vector should be obtained by using the… More >

Abstract In this paper, we study the circular formation problem for the second-order multi-agent systems in a plane, in which the agents maintain a circular formation based on a probabilistic position. A distributed hybrid control protocol based on a probabilistic position is designed to achieve circular formation stabilization and consensus. In the current framework, the mobile agents follow the following rules: 1) the agent must follow a circular trajectory; 2) all the agents in the same circular trajectory must have the same direction. The formation control objective includes two parts: 1) drive all the agents to the circular formation; 2) avoid… More >

Abstract Due to the high inherent uncertainty of renewable energy, probabilistic day-ahead wind power forecasting is crucial for modeling and controlling the uncertainty of renewable energy smart grids in smart cities. However, the accuracy and reliability of high-resolution day-ahead wind power forecasting are constrained by unreliable local weather prediction and incomplete power generation data. This article proposes a physics-informed artificial intelligence (AI) surrogates method to augment the incomplete dataset and quantify its uncertainty to improve wind power forecasting performance. The incomplete dataset, built with numerical weather prediction data, historical wind power generation, and weather factors data, is augmented based on generative… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Batsmen are the backbone of any cricket team and their selection is very critical to the team’s success. A good batsman not only scores run but also provides stability to the team’s innings. The most important factor in selecting a batsman is their ability to score runs. It is a generally accepted notion that the future performance of a batsman can be predicted by observing and analyzing their past record. This hypothesis is based on the fact that a player’s batting average is generally considered to be a good indicator of their future performance. We proposed a data-driven probabilistic system… More >
