We built two artificial neural network(ANN) models,a feed-forward back-propagation(BP) model and a radial basis function(RBF) model,to simulate the water quality of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers in reaches crossing the city of Chongqing,P. R. China. Our models used the historical monitoring data of biological oxygen demand,dissolved oxygen,ammonia,oil and volatile phenolic compounds. Comparison with the one-dimensional traditional water quality model suggest that both BP and RBF models are superior; their higher accuracy and better goodness-of-fit indicate that the ANN calculation of water quality agrees better with measurement. It is demonstrated that ANN modeling can be a tool for estimating the water quality of the Yangtze River. Of the two ANN models,the RBF model calculates with a smaller mean error,but a larger root mean square error. More effort to identify out the causes of these differences would help optimize the structures of neural network water-quality models.展开更多

Firstly, the AERSM was developed and its mathematical model was established based on artificial neural network, and the PSO algorithm was investigated. And then the RBDO model of flexible mechanism was presented based on AERSM and PSO. Finally, regarding cross-sectional area as design variable, the reliability optimization of flexible mechanism was implemented subject to reliability degree and uncertainties based on the proposed approach. The optimization results show that the cross-section sizes obviously reduce by 22.96 mm^2 while keeping reliability degree. Through the comparison of methods, it is demonstrated that the AERSM holds high computational efficiency while keeping computational precision for the RBDO of flexible mechanism, and PSO algorithm minimizes the response of the objective function. The efforts of this work provide a useful sight for the reliability optimization of flexible mechanism, and enrich and develop the reliability theory as well.展开更多

It is because of being unsatisfied with consistency condition or judgment matrix too intricate to solve, which causes AHP invalidation. So in order to resolve this problem, AHP knowledge systems reduced with the aid of Genetic Algorithms (GA) were proposed, which directly acquired the order of AHP issue through the rule of Rough Sets Theory (RST) method, or solved the tasks reduced by RST with classical AHP method. On this condition, the compare decision system of region informatization level was solved, and the results solved were the same to those by classical AHP, which denoted that this method was more simple and reliable, besides the four rules of changing AHP system into RST Decision System.展开更多

Considering twofold uncertainty combining grey and fuzzy factors, this paper proposes a hybrid uncertain programming model to optimize the supply chain production-distribution cost. The programming parameters of the material suppliers, manufacturer, distribution centers, and the customers are integrated into the presented model. On the basis of the chance measure and the credibility of grey fuzzy variable, the grey fuzzy simulation methodology was proposed to generate input-output data for the uncertain functions. The designed neural network can expedite the simulation process after trained from the generated input-output data. The improved Particle Swarm Optimization （PSO） algorithm based on the Differential Evolution （DE） algorithm can optimize the uncertain programming problems. A numerical example was presented to highlight the significance of the uncertain model and the feasibility of the solution strategy.展开更多

To reduce the state space, modular neural network Q-learning algorithm is proposed, which combines Q-learning algorithm with neural network and module method. Forward feedback neural network, Elman neural network and radius-basis neural network are separately employed to construct such algorithm. It is revealed that Elman neural network Q-learning algorithm has the best performance under the condition that the same neural network training method, i.e. gradient descent error back-propagation algorithm is applied.展开更多

As there are many different approaches and terms being used, we try to come up with a structuring of the strategies and compare the efficiency of the different methods. The methods mostly proposed in literature may be classified into evolutionary, particle swarm and artificial neural net optimisation. Some related classes have to be mentioned as the non-sexual fern optimisation and the response surfaces, which are close to the neuron nets. To come up with a measure of the efficiency that allows to take into account some of the published results the technical optimisation problems were derived from the ones given in literature. They deal with elastic studies of frame structures, as the computing time for each individual is very short. General proposals, which approach to use may not be given. It seems to be a good idea to learn about the applicability of the different methods at different problem classes and then do the optimisation according to these experiences. Furthermore in many cases there is some evidence that switching from one method to another improves the performance. Finally the identification of the exact position of the optimum by gradient methods is often more efficient than long random walks around local maxima.展开更多

The study is basically on the analysis of analog modulated signals. Four of the best-known analog modulation types are considered namely： amplitude modulation （AM）, double sideband （DSB） modulation, single sideband （SSB） modulation and frequency modulation （FM）. Computer simulations of the four modulated signals are carried out using MATLAB. MATLAB code is used in simulating the analog signals as well as the power spectral density of each of the analog modulated signals. In achieving an accurate classification of each of the modulated signals, extensive simulations are performed for the training of the artificial neural network. The results of the study show accurate and correct performance of the developed automatic modulation recognition with average success rate above 99.5%.展开更多
