The minimum allowable distances between spheres as well as between spheres and the container boundary are considered. A normalized Φ-function is used for analytical description of the containment constraints. A nonlinear programming model for the packing problem is provided. A solution algorithm based on the feasible directions approach and a decomposition technique is proposed.

Also, it is often crucial to monitor the parameter of geometric distribution, which is often regarded as the nonconforming item rate. To enhance the detection of nonconforming item, we designed an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme based on the weighted likelihood ratio test (WLRT) method, and this scheme is denoted as the EWLRT scheme, specifically designed for monitoring the increase of the parameter in geometric distribution. Moreover, the optimal statistical design of the EWLRT scheme is presented when the shift is known. Results from numerical comparisons through Monte Carlo simulations indicates that the EWLRT scheme performs better than the competing schemes in some scenarios. Additionally, the designed scheme is characterized by its simplicity and ease of use, making it ideally suited for scenarios involving single observation. An example is illustrated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the EWLRT scheme.","PeriodicalId":53148,"journal":{"name":"Axioms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, measurement errors inevitably exist in most processes, which have different effects on the performance of various charting schemes. This paper comprehensively analyses the impacts of measurement errors on the detection ability of the cumulative sum (CUSUM) charting schemes for the ratio of two correlated normal variables. A thorough numerical assessment is performed using the Monte Carlo simulation, and the results indicate that the measurement errors negatively impact the performance of the CUSUM scheme for the ratio of two correlated normal variables. Increasing the number of measurements per set is not a lucrative approach for minimizing the negative impact of measurement errors on the performance of the CUSUM charting scheme when monitoring the ratio of two correlated normal variables. We consider a food formulation as an example that illustrates the quality control problems involving the ratio of two correlated normal variables in an industry with a measurement error.

While a number of spline surface constructions exist for the isotropic case where n pieces join, few existing spline constructions deliver a good shape for control nets that merge parameter lines. Additionally, untilrecently,none provided a good shape for fast-contracting polyhedral control nets. This work improves the state-of-the-art of piecewise polynomial spline surfaces accommodating fast-contracting control nets. The new fast-contracting (FC) surface algorithm yields the industry-preferred uniform degree bi-3 (bi-cubic). The surfaces are by default differentiable, have an improved shape, measured empirically as to highlight the line distribution, and require fewer pieces compared to existing methods.","PeriodicalId":53148,"journal":{"name":"Axioms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141367829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, the motion laws under nonholonomic constraints are expounded for the three-wheeled mobile robot in order to facilitate the derivation of its dynamic model. Subsequently, a prescribed target curve is converted into a speed target through the nonholonomic constraint of zero lateral speed. A modified dynamical tracking target that is aligned with the dynamic model is then developed based on the relative curvature of the prescribed curve. By applying this dynamical tracking target, path tracking precision is enhanced through appropriate selection of a yaw motion speed target, thus preventing speed errors from accumulating during relative curvature tracking. On this basis, integral sliding mode control and feedback linearization methods are adopted for designing robust controllers, enabling the accurate movement of the three-wheeled mobile robot along a given path. A theoretical analysis and simulation results corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed trajectory tracking control strategy in preventing off-target deviations, even with significant speed errors.","PeriodicalId":53148,"journal":{"name":"Axioms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most existing research focuses on anomalous nodes in ordinary graphs with pairwise relationships. However, complex real-world systems often involve relationships that go beyond pairwise relationships, and insufficient attention is paid to hypergraph anomaly detection, especially anomalous hyperedge detection. Some existing methods for researching hypergraphs involve transforming hypergraphs into ordinary graphs for learning, which can result in poor detection performance due to the loss of high-order information. We propose a new method for Anomalous Hyperedge Detection on Symmetric Line Expansion (AHD-SLE). The SLE of a hypergraph is an ordinary graph with pairwise relationships and can be backmapped to the hypergraph, so the SLE is able to preserve the higher-order information of the hypergraph. The AHD-SLE first maps the hypergraph to the SLE; then, the information is aggregated by Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) in the SLE. After that, the hyperedge embedding representation is obtained through a backmapping operation. Finally, an anomaly function is designed to detect anomalous hyperedges using the hyperedge embedding representation. Experiments on five different types of real hypergraph datasets show that AHD-SLE outperforms the baseline algorithm in terms of Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve(AUC) and Recall metrics.","PeriodicalId":53148,"journal":{"name":"Axioms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
