Improving the neural network method for finite element model updating using homogenous distribution of design points

In developing a neural network technique for a finite element model updating, researchers have been shown that the number of training samples and their quality, significantly affect the accuracy of the NN predication. In this study, based on the genetic algorithm (GA) method, we reduce the number of analyses required to develop the training pairs and reduce the amount of time for training the NN. In the other words, a uniform distribution of design points inside the design space will be obtained by means of this approach. To validate the efficiency of GA sample selection, random generation (RG) method is used for comparison. Two comparisons are made based on a numerical and experimental example. One is updated from 10 degrees of freedom lumped parameters system and the other is updated from a free–free beam using test data. The results indicate that the GA sample selection can reduce the number of training samples without affecting the accuracy of the NN predication. In our present study, also, the advantages of using frequency response function (FRF) data as input to the NN are kept and the drawback of having too many frequency points is overcome by the application of principal component analyses (PCA).

Small-world and the growing properties of the Chinese railway network

By using the tools of statistical physics and recent investigations of the scaling properties of different complex networks, the structural and evolving properties of the Chinese railway network (CRN) is studied. It has been verified that the CRN has the same small-world properties of the Indian railway network (IRN). According to the class of small-world networks, we believe the CRN is a single scale. In addition, a novel result is obtained. Measurements on the CRN indicate that the rate at which nodes acquire links depends on the node’s degree and follows a power law.

A novel approach based on recurrent neural networks applied to nonlinear systems optimization

This paper presents an efficient approach based on recurrent neural network for solving nonlinear optimization. More specifically, a modified Hopfield network is developed and its internal parameters are computed using the valid subspace technique. These parameters guarantee the convergence of the network to the equilibrium points that represent an optimal feasible solution. The main advantage of the developed network is that it treats optimization and constraint terms in different stages with no interference with each other. Moreover, the proposed approach does not require specification of penalty and weighting parameters for its initialization. A study of the modified Hopfield model is also developed to analyze its stability and convergence. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed neural network.     

The Problem of Capacity Addition in Multi-user Elastic Demand Communication Networks

In this paper we consider some properties on prices under flow control in a network that is to be shared by noncooperative users. Each user is faced with an optimization problem which is formulated as the minimization of its own criterion subject to constraint on the flows of the other users. The operating points of the network are the Nash equilibria of the underlying routing game. Our objective is to study the behavior of prices of all users when the network designer needs to allocate capacities to network links. For parallel links topologies, we show that degradation of the performances such as prices will not take place, as well as the users may find it beneficial to improve their requests

Colliding stacks: A large deviations analysis

We analyze the performance of a prototypical scheme for shared storage allocation: two initially empty stacks evolving in a contiguous block of memory of size m. We treat the case in which the stacks are more likely to shrink than grow, but with the probabilities of insertion and deletion allowed to depend arbitrarily on stack height as a fraction of m. New results are obtained on the m → ∞ asymptotics of the stack collision time, and of the final stack heights. The results of Wentzell and Freidlin on the large deviations of Markov chains are used, and the relation of their formalism to the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics is emphasized. Certain results on higher-order asymptotics follow from WKB expansions.     

BP神经网络在光学相关器相关峰识别中的应用

光学相关识别是图像识别的重要方法，有效识别相关器输出平面的相关峰信号是保证光学相关器图像识别准确性的关键。由于激光器输出功率的波动、光学系统本身的误差以及SLM器件本身带来的噪声，采用一般的阈值方法很难达到理想的效果。该文提出对相关器的输出平面进行预处理，充分考虑相关信号的形状信息，提取感兴趣区域(ROI)，采用BP神经网络对输入矢量进行计算，可达到对相关峰信号和噪声的有效分类识别，从而提高了光学相关器识别的可靠性，降低了误判的概率。     

Scale-Free Properties in Traffic System

In this work, we propose a new model of evolution networks, which is based on the evolution of the traffic flow. In our method, the network growth does not take into account preferential attachment, and the attachment of new node is independent of the degree of nodes. Our aim is that employing the theory of evolution network, we give a further understanding about the dynamical evolution of the traffic flow. We investigate the probability distributions and scaling properties of the proposed model. The simulation results indicate that in the proposed model, the distribution of the output connections can be well described by scale-free distribution. Moreover, the distribution of the connections is largely related to the traffic flow states, such as the exponential distribution (i.e., the scale-free distribution) and random distribution etc.
