A Multistep Look-Ahead Deadlock Avoidance Policy for Automated Manufacturing Systems by Chao Gu, Zhiwu Li, Abdulrahman Al-Ahmari

“…This paper focuses on the deadlock avoidance problem for systems of simple sequential processes with resources (S3PR) by using Petri nets structural analysis theory. Inspired by the one-step look-ahead DAP that is an established result, which is of polynomial complexity, for an S3PR without one-unit-capacity resources shared by two or more resource-transition circuits (in the Petri net model) that do not include each other, this research explores a multiple-step look-ahead deadlock avoidance policy for a system modeled with an S3PR that contains a shared one-unit-capacity resource in resource-transition circuits. …”

Energy consumption optimization scheme in UAV-assisted MEC system based on optimal SIC order by Wei JI, Xuxin YANG, Fei LI, Ting LI, Yan LIANG, Yunchao SONG

“…In uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) system, the successive interference cancellation (SIC) order of NOMA became a bottleneck limiting the transmission performance of task offload in uplink link.To reduce the energy consumption of the system, the SIC order was discussed and the optimal SIC order based on channel gain and task delay constraint was proposed.The optimization problem of minimizing the system energy consumption was proposed based on the optimal SIC order while satisfying the constraints of the given task delay of the device, the maximum transmit power constraint of the device, and the UAV trajectory.Since the problem was a complex non-convex problem, an alternating optimization method was adopted to solve the optimization problem to achieve power allocation and UAV trajectory optimization.A low-complexity algorithm based on matching theory was proposed to obtain the optimal device grouping in different time slots.Simulation results show that the optimal SIC order can realize smaller system energy consumption under the same task delay constraint compared with other SIC order, the proposed low-complexity device grouping algorithm can obtain the optimal device grouping.…”

Improved Strategy of Two-Node Curved Beam Element Based on the Same Beam’s Nodes Information by Yuquan Wang

“…The common practice in the current literature employs two-node straight beam elements as the elementary members for stress and displacement analysis, which needs a large number of divisions to fit the curved beam shape well and increases computational time greatly. In this paper, we develop an improved accurate two-node curved beam element (IC2) in 3D problems, combining the curved Timoshenko beam theory and the curvature information calculated from the same beam curve. …”

Optimal dimensions of steel welded beams with hinged support units by G. M. Bazhin

“…At the present time, the requirements to reliability and durability of steel structures, as well as their economic feasibility, are increasing. Considering the complexity of analyzing multiple factors influencing the strength, stability and durability of steel welded beams, a new approach to the determination of optimal dimensions based on maximum-strain-energy theory is proposed, with the derivation of new coefficients to simplify the selection of beam cross-sections.Materials and methods. …”

APG mergence and topological potential optimization based heuristic user association strategy by Zhirui HU, Meihua BI, Fangmin XU, Meilin HE, Changliang ZHENG

“…Methods:The network scalable degree was designed as a measure of scalability,and then a user association strategy to improve network scalable degree was studied by using optimization theory. 1) For modelling the optimization problem, firstly, the network coupling degree, representing the degree of association among nodes, was constructed to establish the mathematical relationship between the network scalable degree and AP group (APG).Thus,the problem of improving the network scalable degree was modeled as the problem of minimizing the network coupling degree.Then,a multi-objective optimization problem of minimum network coupling degree and maximum user rate was established to find the balance between network scalable degree and network service quality. 2) For solving the optimization problem,to avoid the high computational complexity,a heuristic user association strategy based on APG mergence and topological potential optimization was proposed.With the proposed algorithm,the number of APG could be reduced by APG mergence,and the number of APG that AP belongs to could be reduced by AP exiting APG. …”
