The main advantage of these matrix relations is that they convert the differential equation, including three different types of derivatives, into a system of algebraic equations, which allows us to easily transfer the problem into computer programming. Furthermore, the convergence of the method is investigated in the Sobolev space. Finally, the application of the method is presented by using numerical examples.

The source reconstruction method (SRM) based on near-field scanning provides a solution for locating electromagnetic interference sources and reconstructing the electromagnetic field inside the package. The traditional SRM based on least squares methods relies on phase information, leading to expensive measurement facilities and complex testing processes. As a result, phaseless SRMs with lower testing requirements have become a research hotspot. However, these methods require solving a nonlinear equation, which lacks an explicit solution and poses difficulties in extracting the equivalent radiation source. To address this issue, a new phaseless SRM that achieves high precision and efficiency is proposed.

Existing forecasting approaches struggle to capture the complexity and change of the EV load patterns, especially over time. The effective development and optimization of the charging infrastructure are critically dependent on accurate EV load forecasting. This paper proposes a hybrid forecasting approach that combines long short-term memory models with advanced decomposition methods like empirical mode decomposition, ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition using adaptive noise and seasonal-trend decomposition to address this challenge. The proposed framework is tested for 15, 30, 60, and 120 min to show its adaptability and robustness. Statistical evaluations show that decomposition approaches using long short-term memory increase predicting accuracy across all time intervals.
