Although twistor resolves fundamental dynamic limitations of conventional approach, complex disturbances from the time-varying payload require controllers with enhanced robustness and efficiency—a challenge unmet by existing twistor-based framework. To tackle pose-coupled disturbances within this framework, a double hyperbolic sliding mode controller (DH-SMC) featuring a novel double hyperbolic reaching law is proposed in this study.

First, the system model is transformed into an image-based second-order dynamic model, and for the unknown unmeasurable states in the model, a high-gain observer is utilized to achieve accurate estimation. Second, to improve the flexibility of the image trajectory and velocity in the constraint area, a new zone Barrier Lyapunov Functions function is introduced to the visual servoing controller.

Finally, comparative simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Previous studies predominantly rely on the assumption that individual behavioral types remain static over time. However, during prolonged game interactions, agents struggle to maintain fixed behavioral types. For instance, a profiteer might transition to a conformist based on accumulated experience. Therefore, we propose a Q-learning-based dynamic behavioral type adaptation model, specifically defining the action space of Q-learning as a selection between profiteer and conformist types. Furthermore, we integrate a memory mechanism into Q-learning reward calculations to reflect agents' trade-offs between historical experiences and immediate payoffs. Experimental results demonstrate that evolutionary games ultimately reach either full cooperation or full defection states depending on the cost-to-benefit ratio in the snowdrift game. By analyzing the evolution of four agent types, including cooperative profiteers, cooperative conformists, defective profiteers, and defective conformists, we delineate the phases of these evolutionary trajectories and explain the underlying mechanisms through our newly proposed feedback-driven Δ<em>Q</em>. Additionally, by investigating memory-driven Q-learning itself, we illustrate its advantage in promoting cooperation among other mechanisms and reveal that prioritizing immediate rewards significantly enhances cooperation.

While the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework has become a standard tool for modeling sliding shells, two critical limitations persist: (1) excessive computational overhead due to complex 2D mesh-material mapping relationships, and (2) inability of some 1D mapping-based ALE formulations to capture variant-directional sliding behaviors. This study presents an efficient ALE shell formulation specifically tailored for the simulation of variant-direction sliding mechanics. The proposed method distinguishes mass flow from spatial motion using mesh and material nodes, and decomposes the virtual displacement on the Euler boundaries. A novel nonuniform mesh-material mapping formula is derived by simplifying the 2D bilinear mapping to reduce complexity. The generalized elastic forces are simplified using the Reynolds transport theorem, the sliding constraints are simplified using differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), and d'Alembert's Principle is adopted on the mesh domain to derive the final governing equation. The proposed ALE shells based on nonuniform mesh-material mappings achieve comparable modeling accuracy and numerical convergence to conventional 2D mesh-material mapping-based ALE shells, yet demonstrate computational efficiency orders of magnitude higher. This advancement stems from the capability of nonuniform mappings to support ALE shell modeling of variant-direction sliding shells. Besides, nonuniform ALE shells are particularly adept at resolving sliding shell problems involving contact clearances, showcasing remarkable potential for broad engineering applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 116304"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144665011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the issue of increased energy consumption and delays for the vehicle groups in non-transit priority phases requires attention. To address this challenge, this study proposes a combined control strategy integrating speed guidance and TSP in a fully connected environment, considering two scenarios: different-speed and same-speed coordinated guidance for bus and social vehicle groups. The strategies incorporate guidance acceleration, guidance acceleration-green extension, and guidance deceleration-red truncation. A bi-level optimization model is developed, with the upper-level objective of maximizing energy consumption reduction for both bus and social vehicle groups, and the lower-level objective of maximizing delay reduction. The example analysis showed that the energy consumption reduction rates at the intersection reached 84.15 %, 79.61 %, and 43.95 % for the different-speed guidance scenario under the above three control strategies, respectively. Similarly, the delay reduction rates were 70.49 %, 76.83 %, and 25.69 %, respectively. For the same-speed guidance scenario, the energy consumption reduction rates were 88.61 %, 74.73 %, and 13.29 %, respectively. Similarly, under the first two control strategies, the delay reduction rates were 84.86 % and 72.42 %, respectively, while the delay increase rate was a mere 1.35 % under the guidance deceleration-red truncation strategy.
