In this article, a network game is employed to model the interplay between the behaviors of decision makers (DMs) and Stackelberg game architecture is used to design an interactive mechanism between the DMs and the moderator. An optimization model based on these two games results in a consensus model with maximum linear-quadratic payoffs and minimum adjustment (MPMACM). In the proposed MPMACM, the moderator provides compensation strategies and feedback suggestions to guide the DMs to reach the desired consensus level with minimum adjustment, while the DMs adjust their opinions aiming to obtain their maximum payoffs. We present the equilibrium analysis for the MPMACM, and an adaptive differential evolution algorithm is offered to enact this optimization model. Finally, an example application is conducted to illustrate and justify the performance of the MPMACM.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 6","pages":"3929-3940"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073268","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}

A backstepping-based control scheme for achieving a consensus in spacecraft attitudes within a predefined time is presented. To enhance the efficiency of communication resource utilization, an event-triggering mechanism is designed by employing a saturation function. This mechanism allows for the application of three existing triggering strategies in multiple spacecraft systems. Then, a novel asymmetric fractional barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) guarantees adherence to time-varying constraints while addressing the issue of excessive control amplitude associated with large constraint boundaries in conventional logarithmic BLFs (LBLFs). This enables the proposed approach to handle both constrained and unconstrained scenarios.

Although there has been a growing interest in multiobjective problems with complex constraints, such as the vehicle routing problem with time windows, existing multiobjective evolutionary optimization techniques still face significant challenges, particularly when addressing the fragmented and narrow feasible regions that arise from these constraints. Our research introduces a refined framework tailored for complex constrained multiobjective evolutionary optimization. The methodology conducts an initial strong-weak analysis to categorize constraints and merges each strong constraint with all weak constraints to form subsets. Each subset, combined with the original objective functions, defines a subproblem. Independent optimization of the original problem and subproblems is carried out by utilizing multiple populations. Information acquired from the subproblems’ populations is transferred into the population of the original issue, thereby expediting the detection of the feasible region and simplifying the resolution of the original problem. The efficacy of our innovative algorithm, when benchmarked against traditional constrained multiobjective evolutionary algorithms across 72 test functions, has demonstrated superior convergence, diversity, and competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 6","pages":"3866-3880"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073266","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, traditional GNNs are primarily designed based on the homophily assumption, which means that they show poor performance on heterophilic networks where dissimilar nodes prefer to connect. To address this issue, several heterophilic GNNs have been proposed that employ techniques, such as extending local neighbors and improving GNN architectures. From another perspective, recent studies have shown that, unlike homophilic GNNs, heterophilic GNNs exhibit higher robustness against graph adversarial attacks. In these attacks, the attackers try to inject small perturbations into the graph. Therefore, in this study, we delve into the core designs of heterophilic GNNs, including high-order neighbor, potential neighbor, ego-neighbor separation, and interlayer combination designs. We further analyze the influence of these key designs on the robustness of GNNs. We conducted comprehensive experiments to compare the impact of different designs on baseline and real-world GNN models. The findings of this work can serve as a reference for future studies aiming to design more robust and universal GNNs.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 6","pages":"3989-4000"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073052","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}

Due to the effects of DoS attacks, such controlled CDSs can be viewed as a switched system with two modes: a stable mode during dormant intervals and an unstable one during attack intervals. Because of the switching character of the CDS with DoS attacks, some well-known data-driven control methods can not be used directly. To tackle this issue, a new relationship between the dormancy and activation periods of DoS attacks is built, which offers a more reasonable description of DoS attacks. Additionally, in the presence of measurement noise, a novel lemma (<xref>Lemma 3</xref>) is introduced to establish a data-based representation of CDSs using noisy measurement data. Without the need of explicit system parameter identification, stabilization criteria and control gain matrix are derived solely based on the input-state data. Finally, the effectiveness and good performance of the proposed method are illustrated through a numerical example and a power system.","PeriodicalId":48915,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Systems Man Cybernetics-Systems","volume":"55 6","pages":"3814-3823"},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073248","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}
