With the help of comparison principle, a class of self-triggered mechanisms (STMs) is proposed, where the next triggering instant is given in explicit form with lower communication occupations. Moreover, different from the existing STIC results, the effect of nonlinear impulses is fully considered in the design of STIC strategies in this article, by which the constraints associated with the impulsive control gain can be relaxed. Under such STIC strategies, some sufficient conditions for local asymptotical stability (LAS) of uncertain nonlinear systems are put forward and the estimation of convergence region is provided, with simple structure for easy implementation. In addition, there is no Zeno behavior for the designed STM. Finally, two simulation examples are given to illustrate the validity and advantage of our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"56 7","pages":"4030-4036"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148506402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, it becomes crucial to develop a control method that synchronizes position and orientation for redundant manipulators. Over time, motion control schemes based on the quadratic programming (QP) have inevitably led to excessive joint movements. In this article, position and orientation control is modeled as a sparse optimization problem from a sparsity perspective. Meanwhile, a collective fuzzy gradient descent (CFGD) solver is designed to address the challenge of sparse position and orientation control for redundant manipulators. Theoretical analyses, simulations, and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. The method is expected to provide a precise and efficient control strategy for redundant manipulators in complex tasks by reducing unnecessary joint movements and enhancing the overall performance.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"56 7","pages":"4336-4346"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148442809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the purpose of reducing the effect due to the sensor measurement deviation and relaxing the system conservatism, a state estimation algorithm is designed based on the historical data and threshold judgment. Furthermore, a rate-coded reversible privacy-preserving mechanism with dual encryption is proposed and applied to vehicle-to-vehicle communications, which can guarantee the protection of the critical system data and the realizability of the desired predefined-time convergence performance by utilizing the origin outputs. In order to avoid the singularity problem and enhance the resistance of the vehicle platoon to the external disturbance, a nonsingular sliding mode surface and a corresponding predefined-time controller are designed. Based on the predefined-time stability and the string stability theorems, the vehicle platoon can be proved to be a practical predefined-time stable (PPTS) and string stable. Finally, adequate validations of the third-order heterogeneous vehicle platoon demonstrate the fast convergence speed and good robustness of the proposed control scheme.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"56 7","pages":"4312-4322"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148442882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evolving TKGs often bring newly unseen entities, relations, and timestamps, which pose significant challenges for current TKG reasoning methods as they struggle to extrapolate facts involving unseen components. We term this realistic yet under-investigated problem as full extrapolation over TKGs, aiming to model all unseen components for reasoning within evolving TKGs. To tackle this, we propose a novel contrastive variational graph symmetric autoencoder (CVGSAE) framework under the meta-learning setting. Initially, we first extract the spatiotemporal connections between relations and integrate a functional time encoding strategy to simultaneously initialize unseen entities, relations, and timestamps. Subsequently, we design an interactive variational graph symmetric autoencoder to encode and then reconstruct entity and relation representations by capturing their interactions to generate contrastive views. Finally, a dual-contrastive learning scheme is imposed on the encoded and reconstructed representations of both entities and relations to enhance their discriminability and task relevance. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that CVGSAE yields significant advancements beyond state-of-the-art baselines across all evaluation metrics.

The communication topology switches to obey an average dwell-time condition, capturing realistic network dynamics. Two critical challenges are addressed in the controller design, one of which is that the real states are inaccessible and the other is that we know nothing about the active leader input. These constraints significantly increase the design complexity. Against this backdrop, we develop a novel control protocol that is capable of achieving the BTVF tracking even given the uncertain leader input without using the real states. The designed control protocol can perform well to deliver reliable commands to realize the BTVF under switched topologies. Through Lyapunov stability analysis and recursive algorithms, we rigorously prove convergence to the desired BTVF. Notably, the protocol is also shown to guarantee bipartite consensus as a special case. In the end, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is validated through simulations involving the clusters of the wheeled mobile robot and autonomous aerial vehicle models in different working scenarios.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"56 7","pages":"3988-4001"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148507054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonnegative latent factor (NLF) models have demonstrated their effectiveness in extracting critical latent features from HDI data by leveraging a single latent factor (LF)-dependent, nonnegative, and multiplicative update (SLF-NMU) algorithm. However, the SLF-NMU algorithm always leads NLF models to converge sluggishly as it updates an LF based only on the current updated information. To address this critical issue, we present APNLF, which innovatively adopts an adaptive proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller to enable the learning process of SLF-NMU to be more efficient. The proposed APNLF encompasses the following twofold ideas: 1) establishing a PID-increment-based SLF-NMU (PSN) algorithm, which updates an LF by comprehensively modeling the current, past, and future update increment information guided by the principle of a PID controller; and 2) designing an effective fuzzy reasoning rule to implement all hyperparameters adaptation, which boosts model’s applicability in practical applications. Moreover, APNLF’s convergence analysis is provided in theory. Experiments on five HDI datasets demonstrate that the APNLF model outperforms the state-of-the-art models in efficiency and accuracy on an HDI matrix.

Each node only has access to its local cost function, which takes the form of a finite sum. The target is to find a minimizer of the aggregate cost through the cooperation of the nodes. Two decentralized stochastic controlled algorithms with variance reduction, i.e., DSC-SAGA and DSC-SVRG, are proposed to solve the problem. Unlike most existing approaches that rely on the mechanism of per-iteration communication, the algorithm proposed in this article skips certain communication rounds, that is, communication occurs only after specific computation rounds. Linear convergences are obtained when the objective functions are <inline-formula> <tex-math>$mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-strongly convex and <inline-formula> <tex-math>$L$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-smooth. More importantly, we establish state-of-the-art communication complexities for both algorithms, i.e., <inline-formula> <tex-math>$(q_{max}/Q+Q)log 1/epsilon $ </tex-math></inline-formula> for DSC-SAGA and <inline-formula> <tex-math>$Qlog 1/epsilon $ </tex-math></inline-formula> for DSC-SVRG, where <inline-formula> <tex-math>$q_{max}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the largest number of sample functions at each node, <inline-formula> <tex-math>$Q=L/mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the condition number, and <inline-formula> <tex-math>$epsilon $ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the required error tolerance.

This article proposes a performance-based adaptive anti-saturation control scheme for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with input saturation limit. Unlike the compensation-based anti-saturation schemes that do not take saturation occurrence into account, the proposed method adopts a monitoring modulation approach to proactively prevent the occurrence of input saturation. Specifically, an adaptive controller is first designed based on prescribed performances and shifting functions. Then, a monitoring module is employed to supervise the behavior of the control signal, and a modulation module is intended to implement the controller reconfiguration by updating the shifting functions. It is shown that by using the proposed scheme, the control signal never violates the saturation limit, the Zeno phenomenon is avoided, and the tracking error satisfies a modified prescribed performance.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"56 7","pages":"4149-4158"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148499220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
