Maximum Data Generation Rate Routing Protocol Based on Data Flow Controlling Technology for Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks

For rechargeable wireless sensor networks, limited energy storage capacity, dynamic energy supply, low and dynamic duty cycles cause that it is unpractical to maintain a fixed routing path for packets delivery permanently from a source to destination in a distributed scenario. Therefore, before data delivery, a sensor has to update its waking schedule continuously and share them to its neighbors, which lead to high energy expenditure for reestablishing path links frequently and low efficiency of energy utilization for collecting packets. In this work, we propose the maximum data generation rate routing protocol based on data flow controlling technology. For a sensor, it does not share its waking schedule to its neighbors and cache any waking schedules of other sensors. Hence, the energy consumption for time synchronization, location information and waking schedule shared will be reduced significantly. The saving energy can be used for improving data collection rate. Simulation shows our scheme is efficient to improve packets generation rate in rechargeable wireless sensor networks.     

径向弹簧蓄能密封结构最大接触应力的有限元分析

为研究径向弹簧蓄能密封结构的密封特性，针对典型径向弹簧蓄能密封结构，分析其密封机制以及O形弯曲金属螺旋弹簧的弹性特性；采用ANSYS有限元分析软件，建立典型弹簧蓄能密封结构的非线性有限元分析模型，对弹簧蓄能密封圈在不同压缩率、不同介质压力下的接触应力进行分析，研究在多种工况下最大接触应力的变化情况。结果表明：压缩率保持不变时，最大接触应力随着介质压力的增大而增大；介质压力保持不变时，随着压缩率的增大，最大接触应力先增大再减小。对压缩率、介质压力与最大接触应力的关系进行曲线拟合，可用于指导弹簧蓄能密封结构的精确设计。     

Estimation of the Stress-Strength Reliability for Exponentiated Pareto Distribution Using Median and Ranked Set Sampling Methods

In reliability analysis, the stress-strength model is often used to describe the life of a component which has a random strength (X) and is subjected to a random stress (Y). In this paper, we considered the problem of estimating the reliability R=P [Y<X] when the distributions of both stress and strength are independent and follow exponentiated Pareto distribution. The maximum likelihood estimator of the stress strength reliability is calculated under simple random sample, ranked set sampling and median ranked set sampling methods. Four different reliability estimators under median ranked set sampling are derived. Two estimators are obtained when both strength and stress have an odd or an even set size. The two other estimators are obtained when the strength has an odd size and the stress has an even set size and vice versa. The performances of the suggested estimators are compared with their competitors under simple random sample via a simulation study. The simulation study revealed that the stress strength reliability estimates based on ranked set sampling and median ranked set sampling are more efficient than their competitors via simple random sample. In general, the stress strength reliability estimates based on median ranked set sampling are smaller than the corresponding estimates under ranked set sampling and simple random sample methods.     

Generalized Marshall Olkin Inverse Lindley Distribution with Applications

In this article, a new generalization of the inverse Lindley distribution is introduced based on Marshall-Olkin family of distributions. We call the new distribution, the generalized Marshall-Olkin inverse Lindley distribution which offers more flexibility for modeling lifetime data. The new distribution includes the inverse Lindley and the Marshall-Olkin inverse Lindley as special distributions. Essential properties of the generalized Marshall-Olkin inverse Lindley distribution are discussed and investigated including, quantile function, ordinary moments, incomplete moments, moments of residual and stochastic ordering. Maximum likelihood method of estimation is considered under complete, Type-I censoring and Type-II censoring. Maximum likelihood estimators as well as approximate confidence intervals of the population parameters are discussed. A comprehensive simulation study is done to assess the performance of estimates based on their biases and mean square errors. The notability of the generalized Marshall-Olkin inverse Lindley model is clarified by means of two real data sets. The results showed the fact that the generalized Marshall-Olkin inverse Lindley model can produce better fits than power Lindley, extended Lindley, alpha power transmuted Lindley, alpha power extended exponential and Lindley distributions.     

An iterative method for suboptimal control of linear time-delayed systems

This article presents a new approach for solving the Optimal Control Problem (OCP) of linear time-delay systems with a quadratic cost functional. The proposed method can also be used for designing optimal control time-delay systems with disturbance. In this study, the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) is employed to convert the original Time-Delay Optimal Control Problem (TDOCP) into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs). The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate linear feedback term and a nonlinear compensation term which is the limit of an adjoint vector sequence. The feedback term is determined by solving Riccati matrix differential equation. By using the finite-step iteration of a nonlinear compensation sequence, we can obtain a suboptimal control law. Finally, Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.     

基于限定PSO初始化空间的随机最大似然算法

针对随机最大似然算法（SML）在波达方位（DOA）估计中由于多维非线性优化导致计算复杂度大的问题，提出一种限定粒子群（PSO）算法搜索空间的SML算法。该算法克服了一个缺陷，即在采用ESPRIT算法限定PSO初始化空间时，在阵列结构是非均匀线性阵列而且信号是相干信号时ESPRIT算法不能直接处理信号，且需要采用一组预处理技术，这增加了算法计算的复杂度。提出的算法的关键之处在于采用假设技术确定初始化点来代替ESPRIT算法的解，结合克拉美罗界（CRB）确定PSO算法的初始化解空间。这一方法不必再采用预处理技术，且利用限定PSO初始化空间的算法大大降低了SML算法的计算复杂度。实验结果表明，提出的算法为相干情况和非相干情况都提供了相当好的初始值。最后，将该算法与许多现有算法进行比较，验证提出算法的有效性和准确性。

基于Copula-POME的负荷与气象因素相关性度量研究

负荷与气象因素的关系是非线性且模糊的，针对传统的线性相关系数不能准确刻画负荷与其气象成因的相依结构。在分析负荷对气象因素响应的基础上，提出了结合Copula函数与最大熵原理（POME）的负荷与气象因素相关性度量方法，该方法基于POME建立了负荷与气象因素的边缘分布，利用Copula函数拟合了负荷与气象多变量系统中的非线性相依结构，并推导了度量相关性的Kendall秩相关系数、Spearman秩相关系数和Copula熵。在实际的负荷和气象系统中的应用表明，Copula-POME方法在分析负荷与其气象成因关系时无先验分布假定，具有灵活的函数形式，能准确表达多变量系统的相依结构；秩相关系数和Copula熵弥补了线性相关系数在度量尾部相关中的不足，能准确度量负荷与气象因素的相关性。     

Maximum likelihood-based adaptive differential evolution identification algorithm for multivariable systems in the state-space form

Parameter estimation plays an important role in the field of system control. This article is concerned with the parameter estimation methods for multivariable systems in the state-space form. For the sake of solving the identification complexity caused by a large number of parameters in multivariable systems, we decompose the original multivariable system into some subsystems containing fewer parameters and study identification algorithms to estimate the parameters of each subsystem. By taking the maximum likelihood criterion function as the fitness function of the differential evolution algorithm, we present a maximum likelihood-based differential evolution (ML-DE) algorithm for parameter estimation. To improve the parameter estimation accuracy, we introduce the adaptive mutation factor and the adaptive crossover factor into the ML-DE algorithm and propose a maximum likelihood-based adaptive differential evolution algorithm. The simulation study indicates the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.
