Multiobjective Optimization of Stress-Release Boot of Solid Rocket Motor under Vertical Storage Based on RBF Model by Qiuwen Miao, Huihui Zhang, Zhibin Shen, Weiyong Zhou

“…Stress-release boot can effectively improve the structural integrity of SRM (solid rocket motor), but it will also influence the loading fraction and interior ballistic performance, so the purpose of this paper is to propose a multiobjective optimization method for stress-release boot. The design variables are the front and rear depth of the stress-release boot, and four optimization variables were determined according to the analysis of SRM performance. …”

DC algorithm for estimation of sparse Gaussian graphical models. by Tomokaze Shiratori, Yuichi Takano

“…Specifically, we convert the cardinality constraint into an equivalent constraint based on the largest-K norm, and reformulate the resultant constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained penalty form with a DC (difference of convex functions) representation. To solve this problem efficiently, we design a DC algorithm in which the graphical lasso algorithm is repeatedly executed to solve convex optimization subproblems. …”

Energy factors affecting environmental pollution for sustainable development goals: The case of India by Vu Ngoc Xuan

“…The study used data from the World Bank from 2000 to 2023; the methodology adopted includes vector autoregression modeling, Granger causality tests, cointegration analysis, impulse response functions, and variance decomposition. These econometric techniques were selected due to their ability to capture dynamic relationships, determine causality, and identify long-term equilibrium among the variables. …”

Non-Iterative Estimation of Multiscale Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression Model by Ya-Di Dai, Hui-Guo Zhang

“…Simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed non-iterative method compared to traditional methods and the backfitting-based approach in terms of coefficient estimation accuracy and computational efficiency. The results demonstrate that the non-iterative estimation method for MGTWR significantly enhances computational efficiency while effectively capturing the scale effects of spatiotemporal variation in the regression coefficient functions for each predictor.…”
