In this algorithm, coordinate space is assumed to be the space that is full of media with different refractivities, then the space is divided by grids, and finally the searching path is assumed to be the propagation path of light rays. With the law of refraction, the search direction is deflected to the direction that makes the value of objective function decrease. With the law of reflection, the search direction is changed, which makes the search continue when it cannot keep going with refraction. Only the function values of objective problems are used and there is no artificial rule in light ray optimization, so it is simple and easy to realize. Theoretical analysis and the results of numerical experiments show that the algorithm is feasible and effective.展开更多

By using the information of the iteration number and the maximum iteration number, the proposed algorithm uses the floor function to ensure that the fruit fly swarms adopt the large step search during the olfactory search stage which improves the search speed;in the visual search stage, the small step is used to effectively avoid local optimum. Finally, using commonly used benchmark testing functions, the proposed algorithm is compared with the standard fruit fly optimization algorithm with some fixed steps. The simulation experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can quickly approach the optimal solution in the olfactory search stage and accurately search in the visual search stage, demonstrating more effective performance.展开更多

摘要Cyclone separators are highly efficient gas-solid separation that operate on the centrifugal force and play an indispensable role in industries such as chemical engineering,environmental protection,and power generation.They exhibit excellent reliability,particularly under demanding conditions such as high temperatures and elevated particle concentrations.However,a persistent trade-off between separation efficiency and pressure drop has limited further performance improvements.To address this,optimization of cyclone separators has become a major research focus.This article systematically reviews recent advances,first by examining the mechanisms through which key structural parameters,such as inlet geometry,exhaust pipe diameter,and cone angle,influence performance across different industrial applications.Furthermore,the review introduces an integrated optimization framework based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations,surrogate modelling,and intelligent optimization algorithms to enhance design performance.It critically compares the applicability and limitations of various high-dimensional optimization methods and their integration strategies.The article underscores a paradigm shift from optimizing instantaneous performance toward establishing a lifecycle optimization(LCO)framework that incorporates longterm metrics such as wear and maintenance costs.Evidence shows that coupling CFD with intelligent algorithms enables efficient exploration of multi-objective parameter spaces.Finally,the article discusses current limitations in optimization research and outlines future directions,including multi-physics coupling involving flow,heat,and particle transport,lifecycle optimization,and intelligent decision support systems.In summary,this review establishes a theoretical foundation and provides technical guidance for the energy-efficient,high-performance design and industrial implementation of cyclone separators.

摘要Accurate and interpretable prediction of shield tunnel-induced settlement poses a significant challenge due to the complex interplay of various influencing factors.This paper proposes a novel interpretable hybrid model that combines complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise(CEEMDAN),slime mold algorithm(SMA),and least squares support vector machine(LSSVM)to enhance prediction accuracy and model transparency.The CEEMDAN method,optimized by SMA,decomposes settlement data into intrinsic mode functions(IMFs)and residuals,thereby reducing data noise.The LSSVM,also optimized by SMA,is then applied to predict each IMF and residual.The final settlement prediction is derived from the aggregation of these results.The model was rigorously validated using the Changsha(China)and Singapore Metro projects,demonstrating superior performance to traditional machine learning models.The evaluation metrics,including root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE),mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),and coefficient of determination(R2),underscore the model's effectiveness.The model achieved the lowest error rates and highest accuracy across these metrics.Notably,Shapley additive explanations(SHAP)provided insights into the model's decision-making process,identifying shield stoppage and moisture content as the most influential factors in settlement prediction.This study contributes to the advancement of the methodological framework for predicting tunnel settlement.It addresses the discrepancy between prediction accuracy and interpretability,providing a robust tool for practical engineering applications.
摘要With the increasing global demand for renewable energy,the application of photovoltaic power generation in mountainous areas is gradually increasing.However,the complex wind environment in mountainous areas poses severe challenges to the design and optimization of solar photovoltaic brackets.Traditional design methods are difficult to cope with the changeable wind speed and direction in mountainous areas,resulting in structural instability or material waste.Researchers have identified the key factors affecting wind response through parametric research and dynamic wind response analysis,so as to optimize the brackets design and improve its adaptability and stability in complex wind environments.In this paper,the complexity of wind speed,wind direction and turbulence characteristics in mountainous areas and their influence on brackets design are explored.Through static and dynamic wind load analysis,the geometrical shape and material selection of the bracket are optimized to enhance its wind resistance.The application of multi-objective optimization model and intelligent optimization algorithm provides an effective solution for the design of solar photovoltaic brackets,ensuring their safety and reliability in complex wind environments.
摘要Credit risk is one of the main risks faced by commercial banks.Credit risk management includes risk identification,assessment,and early warning,among which risk assessment is fundamental and key.Currently,research on credit risk assessment in China is still in its developing stage,and the precision of measuring credit risk needs improvement.Among various evaluation methods,the Kealhofer,McQuown,and Vasicek model(KMV model)has shown good practical application and is relatively suitable for the national conditions of China.However,it still has some flaws.To address the issue of insufficient external validity in the default point parameter settings of the KMV model,the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)algorithm is used to optimize these parameters,and the Particle Swarm Optimization-Grey Wolf Optimization(PSO-GWO)algorithm is integrated to construct the Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization-KMV Model(APSO-KMV model)and the PSO-GWO-KMV model.Based on an empirical study comparing real data from 5,234 companies,it was found that the original KMV model had an Area Under the Curve(AUC)value of 0.7362,accuracy of 0.2610,and binary cross-entropy loss of 0.7006;the PSO-KMV model had a shortterm debt coefficient?of 0.0496,a long-term debt coefficient?of 0.2508,an AUC value of 0.9994,accuracy of 0.9996,and binary cross-entropy loss of 4.1990;the PSO-GWO-KMV model had a coefficient?of 0.0496 and a value?of 0.2690,an AUC value of 0.9987,accuracy of 0.7603,and binary cross-entropy loss of 4.0804.The optimized KMV model showed a significant improvement in predictive accuracy.
摘要The grey wolf optimizer(GWO)is a swarm-based intelligence optimization algorithm by simulating the steps of searching,encircling,and attacking prey in the process of wolf hunting.Along with its advantages of simple principle and few parameters setting,GWO bears drawbacks such as low solution accuracy and slow convergence speed.A few recent advanced GWOs are proposed to try to overcome these disadvantages.However,they are either difficult to apply to large-scale problems due to high time complexity or easily lead to early convergence.To solve the abovementioned issues,a high-accuracy variable grey wolf optimizer(VGWO)with low time complexity is proposed in this study.VGWO first uses the symmetrical wolf strategy to generate an initial population of individuals to lay the foundation for the global seek of the algorithm,and then inspired by the simulated annealing algorithm and the differential evolution algorithm,a mutation operation for generating a new mutant individual is performed on three wolves which are randomly selected in the current wolf individuals while after each iteration.A vectorized Manhattan distance calculation method is specifically designed to evaluate the probability of selecting the mutant individual based on its status in the current wolf population for the purpose of dynamically balancing global search and fast convergence capability of VGWO.A series of experiments are conducted on 19 benchmark functions from CEC2014 and CEC2020 and three real-world engineering cases.For 19 benchmark functions,VGWO’s optimization results place first in 80%of comparisons to the state-of-art GWOs and the CEC2020 competition winner.A further evaluation based on the Friedman test,VGWO also outperforms all other algorithms statistically in terms of robustness with a better average ranking value.

摘要Traditional linear motor optimization methods typically use analytical models combined with intelligent optimization algorithms.However,this approach has disadvantages,e.g.,the analytical model might not be accurate enough,and the intelligent optimization algorithm can easily fall into local optimization.A new linear motor optimization strategy combining an R-deep neural network(R-DNN)and modified cuckoo search(MCS)is proposed;additionally,the thrust lifting and thrust fluctuation reductions are regarded as optimization objectives.The R-DNN is a deep neural network modeling method using the rectified linear unit(RELU)activation function,and the MCS provides a faster convergence speed and stronger data search capability as compared with genetic algorithms,particle swarm optimization,and standard CS algorithms.Finally,the validity and accuracy of this work are proven based on prototype experiments.

摘要Hyperspectral image classification stands as a pivotal task within the field of remote sensing,yet achieving highprecision classification remains a significant challenge.In response to this challenge,a Spectral Convolutional Neural Network model based on Adaptive Fick’s Law Algorithm(AFLA-SCNN)is proposed.The Adaptive Fick’s Law Algorithm(AFLA)constitutes a novel metaheuristic algorithm introduced herein,encompassing three new strategies:Adaptive weight factor,Gaussian mutation,and probability update policy.With adaptive weight factor,the algorithmcan adjust theweights according to the change in the number of iterations to improve the performance of the algorithm.Gaussianmutation helps the algorithm avoid falling into local optimal solutions and improves the searchability of the algorithm.The probability update strategy helps to improve the exploitability and adaptability of the algorithm.Within the AFLA-SCNN model,AFLA is employed to optimize two hyperparameters in the SCNN model,namely,“numEpochs”and“miniBatchSize”,to attain their optimal values.AFLA’s performance is initially validated across 28 functions in 10D,30D,and 50D for CEC2013 and 29 functions in 10D,30D,and 50D for CEC2017.Experimental results indicate AFLA’s marked performance superiority over nine other prominent optimization algorithms.Subsequently,the AFLA-SCNN model was compared with the Spectral Convolutional Neural Network model based on Fick’s Law Algorithm(FLA-SCNN),Spectral Convolutional Neural Network model based on Harris Hawks Optimization(HHO-SCNN),Spectral Convolutional Neural Network model based onDifferential Evolution(DE-SCNN),SpectralConvolutionalNeuralNetwork(SCNN)model,and SupportVector Machines(SVM)model using the Indian Pines dataset and PaviaUniversity dataset.The experimental results show that the AFLA-SCNN model outperforms other models in terms of Accuracy,Precision,Recall,and F1-score on Indian Pines and Pavia University.Among them,the Accuracy of the AFLA-SCNN model on Indian Pines reached 99.875%,and the Accuracy on PaviaUniversity reached 98.022%.In conclusion,our proposed AFLA-SCNN model is deemed to significantly enhance the precision of hyperspectral image classification.

摘要Fluidic Catalytic Cracking(FCC)is a complex petrochemical process affected by many highly non-linear and interrelated factors.Product yield analysis,flue gas desulfurization prediction,and abnormal condition warning are several key research directions in FCC.This paper will sort out the relevant research results of the existing Artificial Intelligence(AI)algorithms applied to the analysis and optimization of catalytic cracking processes,with a view to providing help for the follow-up research.Compared with the traditional mathematical mechanism method,the AI method can effectively solve the difficulties in FCC process modeling,such as high-dimensional,nonlinear,strong correlation,and large delay.AI methods applied in product yield analysis build models based on massive data.By fitting the functional relationship between operating variables and products,the excessive simplification of mechanism model can be avoided,resulting in high model accuracy.AI methods applied in flue gas desulfurization can be usually divided into two stages:modeling and optimization.In the modeling stage,data-driven methods are often used to build the system model or rule base;In the optimization stage,heuristic search or reinforcement learning methods can be applied to find the optimal operating parameters based on the constructed model or rule base.AI methods,including data-driven and knowledge-driven algorithms,are widely used in the abnormal condition warning.Knowledge-driven methods have advantages in interpretability and generalization,but disadvantages in construction difficulty and prediction recall.While the data-driven methods are just the opposite.Thus,some studies combine these two methods to obtain better results.
