It is seen that LDRV is first decoupled and the vehicle slip angle is proved to be observable from the yaw rate measurements. A new methodology of parameter estimation using steady-state yaw rate measurements (PESYRM) is then developed to accurately estimate the parameters of LDRV. The important characteristics of PESYRM comprise four parts: 1) The steering angle input to LDRV is chosen as the linear combination of sinusoids; 2) Only the steady state information of yaw rate in any fundamental period is required to accurately estimate the unknown parameters of LDRV; 3) Unlike many existing parameter estimation methods, the time consuming computing of the inverse of high-dimensional data matrix is avoided by making full use of the orthogonal properties of trigonometric base functions; 4) All of system information of LDRV is embedded in the measurements of the steady state yaw rate in any fundamental period. A simulation example is carried out to show the advantages and effectiveness of the new research findings for LDRV.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"13 9","pages":"2003-2018"},"PeriodicalIF":18.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133647","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}

The key concept involved in the approach is the introduction of a damping term into the guidance law which effectively increases the degrees of freedom and strengthens the parallel approach characteristic. Based on this concept, two distinct formulations of the ZEM-based guidance law are derived, that is, the damping-enhanced ZEM (ZEM_DAMP) guidance law and the proportional navigation (PN_DAMP) guidance law. Especially, the PN_DAMP guidance law without knowing the acceleration information of the target is demonstrated to have superior performance compared with the augmented proportional navigation (APN) guidance law. The superiority of the proposed ZEM-based guidance law with the damping term is validated rigorously with the introduction of robustness against target maneuvers, ZEM error dynamics, and parallel approach characteristics. Finally, extensive numerical simulations validate that the inclusion of a damping term significantly improves the effectiveness of the guidance law.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"13 9","pages":"2184-2186"},"PeriodicalIF":18.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11716143","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal control law is derived from a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which is difficult to be solved analytically. To approximate the solution to the HJB equation, a novel predefined-time (PT) convergent reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is proposed based on a critic neural network (NN). The critic NN employs a novel learning law to update the weight vector. This learning law ensures the PT convergence of the weight vector by introducing a time-dependent adaptive gain and removes the need for the persistent excitation condition via experience replay technology. Furthermore, the PT convergence of the weight vector is theoretically analyzed.

Secondly, FntS criterion for multi-weight network based on PP are proposed, and the upper bound of privacy level is estimated. Compared with existing FnT controllers, the designed simple controller can achieve FnT control without fractional power terms or even linear parts, and the designed control protocol eliminates the limitation in existing literature that each pair of adjacent nodes cannot have overlapping neighbor sets. In addition, by estimating the control energy consumption, it was found that PP may not increase additional control energy consumption, and the bilateral PP level is stronger than the unilateral PP level.

To address these challenges, intrusion detection technology has emerged as a research hotspot in cyberspace security. Finite mixture models have been widely adopted for network intrusion detection; however, existing studies have predominantly focused on parameter estimation, while often neglecting the effects of model selection and data imbalance, which can lead to suboptimal detection performance. To address this limitation, in this paper, we first employ oversampling approaches to generate a rebalanced training set. Subsequently, a Dirichlet process mixture of gamma distributions based on a stick-breaking representation is utilized to model the underlying distributions of normal and suspicious activities. The proposed model is then trained using the extended stochastic variational inference framework, through which an analytically tractable solution for Bayesian estimation is developed. This learning strategy enables the simultaneous estimation of model complexity and parameters within a unified Bayesian framework. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are validated on three publicly available datasets, namely, UNSW-NB 15, CICIoT2023, and ISCX-IDS-2012. In comparison with several well-established finite mixture models, as well as machine learning and deep learning algorithms, the proposed approach not only achieves comparable or superior detection performance in terms of precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC values, but also significantly reduces training and detection time.","PeriodicalId":54230,"journal":{"name":"Ieee-Caa Journal of Automatica Sinica","volume":"13 9","pages":"2132-2145"},"PeriodicalIF":18.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149072314","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}
