Practical bipartite consensus for multi-agent systems: A barrier function-based adaptive sliding-mode control approach by Boda Ning, Qing-Long Han, Xiaohua Ge

“…This paper is concerned with bipartite consensus tracking for multi-agent systems with unknown disturbances. A barrier function-based adaptive sliding-mode control (SMC) approach is proposed such that the bipartite steady-state error is converged to a predefined region of zero in finite time. …”

Optimal design of hollow conductor for high‐speed synchronous motor exploiting adaptive‐sampling radial basis function algorithm by Ruiye Li, Peng Cheng, Hai Lan

“…To address this, the paper proposes a multi‐objective optimisation method based on adaptive sampling radial basis function (ASRBF). The ASRBF algorithm adaptively adds sample points by estimating expected improvements at prediction points, enabling the surrogate model to rapidly approximate the global optimum while significantly reducing function evaluations. …”

Adaptive routing and wavelength assignment method based on SDN by Zhongnan ZHAO, Jian WANG, Hongwei GUO

“…Routing and wavelength assignment is an important resource allocation method of all-optical network.Aiming at the problem of traditional method combined with the new architecture,an adaptive multi-objective routing and wavelength assignment method based on SDN was proposed,which could realize the allocation of link resources of all-optical network through self-regulation.Based on the SDN service function chain model,service scheduling time and link service quality were taken as the scheduling objective,routing and wavelength assignment problem was constructed as the 0-1 integer programming problem,meanwhile,binary hybrid topology particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the network resources for optimal scheduling.The simulation results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional classical algorithms in the test of recovery time,blocking rate and resource utilization.…”

“…These cases respectively represent a real impact extracted from an in-depth accident database and a consumer program test for an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) function. By analyzing the behavior of autonomous steering and braking functions in a simulation environment as ADAS parameters are varied (i.e., the time between consecutive scans of the scenario by sensors and the time for full actuation of drive-by-wire systems), it becomes possible to compare performances of different types of intervention logic. …”
