基于星敏感器的姿态优化估计算法

对于采用星敏感器的航天器姿态确定问题,提出了一种快速的姿态优化估计方法;首先,根据Rodrigues参数和观测向量之间的线性关系,引入四元数,构造了不同的非奇异的优化准则;其次,借助四元数,求解了基于该准则的姿态优化算法;误差协方差分析和数值仿真结果表明,该算法与著名的QUaternion ESTmation(QUEST)算法相比,在相同的操作系统环境下,具有相同的姿态估计精度,但计算速度更快,对两种算法选取间隔为2000次的仿真步长,统计数据长度为100个采样点,最后对结果加权求平均值,统计结果显示仅为QUEST的三分之一;这种姿态优化估计方法具有一定的工程应用价值。

Roll‐to‐roll UV embossing process applied for light bar‐based sub‐wavelength gratings for backlight

This study proposes a roll‐to‐roll process‐based sub‐wavelength grating, which is attached on a light bar to turn the side‐lit red/green/blue (620, 520, and 450 nm) incident rays into a uniformly and normally output white light with high illuminance from the light bar's surface. On the basis of the rigorous coupling wave analysis, the relationship between the first‐order transmission/reflection efficiency and the pitch of the gratings with different shapes was analyzed. The optimal design can effectively reduce the coupling length and enhance the white color balance for display applications.     

Delay‐dependent passivity and passification for uncertain Markovian jump systems with time‐varying delays

This paper deals with the problems of passivity analysis and passivity‐based controller design for Markovian jump systems with both time‐varying delays and norm‐bounded parametric uncertainties. Firstly, new delay‐dependent conditions for the considered system to be passive are obtained by using a mode‐dependent Lyapunov functional and by introducing some slack variables. These conditions are expressed by means of LMIs that are easy to check. It is shown through a numerical example that the obtained passivity conditions are less conservative than the existing ones in the literature. Secondly, the passification problem is investigated. On the basis of the obtained passivity conditions, dynamic output‐feedback controllers are designed, which ensure that the resulting closed‐loop system is passive. The effectiveness of the proposed design method is demonstrated by a numerical example. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Scalable influence maximization for independent cascade model in large-scale social networks

Influence maximization, defined by Kempe et al. (SIGKDD 2003), is the problem of finding a small set of seed nodes in a social network that maximizes the spread of influence under certain influence cascade models. The scalability of influence maximization is a key factor for enabling prevalent viral marketing in large-scale online social networks. Prior solutions, such as the greedy algorithm of Kempe et al. (SIGKDD 2003) and its improvements are slow and not scalable, while other heuristic algorithms do not provide consistently good performance on influence spreads. In this article, we design a new heuristic algorithm that is easily scalable to millions of nodes and edges in our experiments. Our algorithm has a simple tunable parameter for users to control the balance between the running time and the influence spread of the algorithm. Our results from extensive simulations on several real-world and synthetic networks demonstrate that our algorithm is currently the best scalable solution to the influence maximization problem: (a) our algorithm scales beyond million-sized graphs where the greedy algorithm becomes infeasible, and (b) in all size ranges, our algorithm performs consistently well in influence spread—it is always among the best algorithms, and in most cases it significantly outperforms all other scalable heuristics to as much as 100–260% increase in influence spread.     

Augmented Lyapunov functional approach for stability of neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper is concerned with the neutral‐delay‐dependent and discrete‐delay‐dependent stability for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays and norm‐bounded uncertainties. Through constructing a new augmented Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and proving its positive definiteness, introducing some slack matrices and using integral inequality, the improved delay‐dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the significant improvement on the conservatism of the delay bound over some existing results.

Interactive genetic algorithms with large population and semi-supervised learning

Interactive genetic algorithms are effective methods of solving optimization problems with implicit (qualitative) criteria by incorporating a user's intelligent evaluation into traditional evolution mechanisms. The heavy evaluation burden of the user, however, is crucial and limits their applications in complex optimization problems. We focus on reducing the evaluation burden by presenting a semi-supervised learning assisted interactive genetic algorithm with large population. In this algorithm, a population with many individuals is adopted to efficiently explore the search space. A surrogate model built with an improved semi-supervised learning method is employed to evaluate a part of individuals instead of the user to alleviate his/her burden in evaluation. Incorporated with the principles of the improved semi-supervised learning, the opportunities of applying and updating the surrogate model are determined by its confidence degree in estimation, and the informative individuals reevaluated by the user are selected according to the concept of learning from mistakes. We quantitatively analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm and apply it to the design of sunglasses lenses, a representative optimization problem with one qualitative criterion. The empirical results demonstrate the strength of our algorithm in searching for satisfactory solutions and easing the evaluation burden of the user.
