Bounded Consensus Algorithms for Multi‐Agent Systems in Directed Networks

In this paper, the consensus problem is investigated via bounded controls for the multi‐agent systems with or without communication. Based on the nested saturation method, the saturated control laws are designed to solve the consensus problem. Under the designed saturated control laws, the transient performance of the closed‐loop system can be improved by tuning the saturation level. First of all, asymptotical consensus algorithms with bounded control inputs are proposed for the multi‐agent systems with or without communication delays. Under these consensus algorithms, the states’ consensus can be achieved asymptotically. Then, based on a kind of novel nonlinear saturation functions, bounded finite‐time consensus algorithms are further developed. It is shown that the states’ consensus can be achieved in finite time. Finally, two examples are given to verify the efficiency of the proposed methods.

拓扑距离特征指数对多氯联苯的QSPR研究

根据分子拓扑理论,提出1种新的多氯联苯(PCBs)化合物分子中,顶点原子(基团)点价值δ_i的计算方法,据以构建分子的结构参数——拓扑距离特征指数(TDEI);同时考虑分子体积以及氯原子在苯环上的位置和数目对PCBs性质的影响,引入分子体积参数(V_R)和基团定位指数(D),然后,采用多元线性回归法,分别建立了PCBs的正辛醇-水分配系数(lgK_(OW))和水溶解度(-lgS_w)的定量结构-性质相关模型,其相关系数分别达到0.9972和0.9730,均优于前人的工作。利用模型预测另外7个PCBs分子的lgK_(OW)和-lgS_W,预测值与实验值的一致性令人满意。     

Single image super-resolution using global enhanced upscale network

Current works on super-resolution have obtained satisfactory results since the advance of the convolution neural network. Nevertheless, most previous works use one network for one integer scale factor so ignore the super-resolution of the arbitrary scale factor. In this work, we propose a novel approach called Global Enhanced Upscale Network (GEUN) to tackle super-resolution with a single model adapting the arbitrary scale factor. In our GEUN, we propose the Global Enhanced Upscale module to replace the conventional upscale module. Our GEUN can upscale low-resolution images with an arbitrary scale factor through only one model. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our GEUN.

The impact of industrial agglomeration on industrial pollutant emission: evidence from China under New Normal

The purpose of this study is to analyze the environmental pollution effects elicited by industrial agglomeration and to devise necessary changes before and after China going into the New Normal, a contemporary phase of less rapid but more sustainable economic development. An empirical model is constructed based on the Copeland–Taylor model, and empirical research is conducted using statistical panel data derived from 285 Chinese cities between 2003 and 2014. To study the relationship between industrial agglomeration and industrial pollutant emission both before and after the ‘New Normal,’ the sample data are divided into two time periods: 2003–2008 and 2009–2014. Estimated results are as follows. First, industrial agglomeration exacerbates industrial pollution levels overall although the negative environmental effect of industrial agglomeration is weakened following China’s entry into the New Normal phase of economy. Second, both the interaction term of industrial agglomeration and foreign direct investment (FDI) and the interaction term of industrial agglomeration and environmental regulation are negatively related to industrial agglomeration. These findings indicate that FDI and environmental regulation can indirectly reduce industrial pollutant emissions by way of industrial agglomeration.
