Therefore, the accurate detection of the gas flow distribution is essential in the BF ironmaking process due to the direct impact on productivity, stability, and efficiency. However, there is a significant challenge to capture the complex interactions and dynamic changes of the ironmaking process by single predictive mode and two-dimensional (2D) distribution, leading to a lack of flexibility and interpretability in dealing with different abnormalities. To address this issue, a novel spatio-temporal multi-mode approach for three-dimensional (3D) BF gas flow prediction is proposed in this article. First, Pearson correlation analysis is employed to evaluate correlated variables in the spatial dimension. The precise temporal correlations among the multiple variables are matched with mutual information (MI) to extract spatio-temporal variables. Next, the spatio-temporal variables are decomposed utilizing variation mode decomposition (VMD), and the noise is removed with integrated correlation analysis and Fourier transform (FT) to identify and retain the relevant information. Finally, the MI-VMD-Informer is innovatively proposed to establish three different prediction modes based on spatio-temporal features, thus obtaining 2D and 3D gas flow distributions. The superiority of the proposed method is verified by actual BF production data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17283,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Franklin Institute-engineering and Applied Mathematics","volume":"361 18","pages":"Article 107330"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142535743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One such approach is the transplantation of coral larvae onto degraded reefs. In this paper, we use a delayed coral-macroalgae model to explore the effects of external recruitment of coral. By analyzing the local and global stability of macroalgae-free equilibrium and coexistence equilibrium in the system, we find that sustained external recruitment of coral will favor coral competition with macroalgae. In addition, we choose delay as a bifurcation parameter and demonstrate that Hopf bifurcation may occur at a critical delay near the coexistence equilibrium. Interestingly, the delay may cause the globally asymptotically stable equilibrium in the ODE system to become unstable, resulting in the appearance of periodic solutions. Furthermore, we analyze population dynamics using optimal control theory and determine the effect of minimum external recruitment on the population dynamics. In the numerical simulation section, parameters of coral-macroalgae dynamics are estimated by using a 12-year (2005–2017) benthic cover dataset of coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar, southeastern India.

It employs two novel control schemes: a collision avoidance scheme and a formation observer-based TVFT (FO-based TVFT) control scheme. The collision avoidance scheme ensures safe operation by preventing inter-agent collisions, while the FO-based TVFT control scheme enables followers to achieve TVFT for leader-driven formations while tracking the leader. To implement this FO-based TVFT control scheme, each follower employs a formation observer (FO) to continuously estimate the leader’s dynamically driven formations in real-time, facilitating responsive formation tracking. Notably, this FO-based TVFT control scheme establishes a novel framework for leader-centric TVFT (i.e., TVFT for leader-driven formations resulting from leader-driven formation switching) in MASs. Furthermore, this control methodology is specifically designed for Lipschitz nonlinear MASs operating under potential actuator bias faults and unpredictable leader maneuvering. It guarantees that the collective formation tracking error of followers is uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB), based on Lyapunov’s stability theory.

To guarantee that the tracking error consistently meets the prescribed performance boundary(PPB) envelope, we introduce a nonlinear mapping between the initial value of the prescribed performance functions(PPFs) and the system tracking errors, resulting in an asymmetric time-varying performance boundary. Building upon this foundation, an adaptive PPC scheme is proposed under the backstepping framework, integrated with a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO). This method ensures that the tracking error remains within the desired PPB, regardless of external disturbances or system initial states. To prevent ‘complexity explosion’, a dynamic surface control (DSC) technology is employed to filter the virtual control signals of each subsystem.

To address the issue of Gramian matrices diverging over time in undamped systems, we have developed and proven several theorems related to Gramian matrices in undamped systems. The resulting solution, derived using these theorems is represented in a closed-form and expressed in terms of the modal matrix, input matrix, disturbance matrix, and disturbance covariance matrix. Since the derived solution does not require solving Lyapunov equations, which is typically required in most Gramian-based measures, it enables efficient computations, even for high-dimensional systems. Numerical examples confirm that the proposed measure serves as an exact DoDR solution for undamped systems, preserving the previously established physical meaning of DoDR.
