Dynamic analysis of a novel time‐lag four‐dimensional fractional‐order financial system

In this paper, a novel four‐dimensional fractional‐order financial system (FFS) with time delay is presented. Unlike traditional bifurcation analysis of financial systems, the selection rules of two bifurcation points within the system are discussed. In addition, the motion state of the system in the vicinity of two bifurcation points are analyzed separately, such that the dynamic analysis of this novel nonlinear fourth‐dimensional FFS is more comprehensive. The detailed dynamical behaviors of this financial system, such as oscillation, stability, and bifurcation points, are deduced via rigorous mathematical analysis. Finally, some simulations are performed to verify the dynamic characteristics of the FFS around the two bifurcation points which satisfy the selection conditions of the bifurcation point.     

Fixed‐time synchronization for complex‐valued BAM neural networks with time delays

In this paper, the fixed‐time synchronization for complex‐valued bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time delays is studied. Based on the fixed‐time stability, the Lyapunov functional method and some inequality techniques, a new criterion is presented to guarantee that the addressed systems achieve synchronization in fixed time and a more accurate estimation independent of the initial conditions is given for the settling time. Meanwhile, a new nonlinear delayed controller different from the existing ones is designed. In the end, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained result.     

基于持久性内存的单向移动B^+树

由新型非易失存储介质构成的持久性内存(persistent memory,PM)具有扩展性强、按字节访问与静态能耗低等特性,为未来主存与辅存融合提供了强大的契机.然而由于LLC(last level cache)具有易失性且与主存交互粒度通常为64B,而PM的原子持久化操作粒度为8B.因此,数据从LLC更新到PM的过程中,若发生故障,则可能破坏更新操作的失败原子性,进而影响原始数据的完整性.为了保证更新操作的失败原子性,目前研究主要采用显式调用持久化指令与内存屏障指令,将数据有序地持久化到PM上,但该操作会造成显著的开销,在索引更新中尤为明显.在对索引进行更新时,往往会涉及到索引结构的变化,该变化需要大量的有序持久化开销.研究旨在减少基于PM的B+树在更新过程中为保证失败原子性而引入的持久化开销.通过分析B+树节点利用率、不同更新模式下持久化开销以及更新操作之间的关系,提出了一种基于节点内数据真实分布的数据单向移动算法.通过原地删除的方式,减少删除带来的持久化开销.利用删除操作在节点内留下的空位,减少后续插入操作造成的数据移动,进而减少数据持久化开销.基于上述算法,对B+树的重均衡操作进行优化.最后通过实验证明,相较于最新基于PM的B+树,提出的单向移动B+树能够显著提高单一负载与混合负载性能.

认知任务驱动的fMRI脑功能网络构建方法

针对脑功能网络的构建受到特定大脑图谱对兴趣点描述准确度及覆盖度的限制,提出了基于认知任务信息和神经影像数据的脑功能网络构建方法。首先计算fMRI体素对于认知任务的敏感度,然后在此基础上选取兼顾分布均衡和去中心化的大脑兴趣点,从而构建任务驱动的脑功能网络。实验通过在人脸情绪识别认知任务相关的梭状回构造任务驱动的脑功能网络,其度中心性、聚类系数、全局效率、局部效率这四个复杂网络指标均优于典型大脑图谱梭状回中兴趣点构成的网络。结果表明,计算得到的大脑兴趣点具有更强的整合性,更适合用于表征特定认知任务下的脑功能网络。
