This article presents a new fast and robust algorithm that provides fuel-optimal impulsive control input sequences that drive a linear time-variant system to a desired state at a specified time. This algorithm is applicable to a broad class of problems where the cost is expressed as a time-varying norm-like function of the control input, enabling inclusion of complex operational constraints in the control planning problem. First, it is shown that the reachable sets for this problem have identical properties to those in prior works using constant cost functions, enabling use of existing algorithms in conjunction with newly derived contact and support functions. By reformulating the optimal control problem as a semi-infinite convex program, it is also demonstrated that the semi-infinite component of the commonly studied primer vector is an outward normal vector to the reachable set at the target state. Using this formulation, a fast and robust algorithm that provides globally optimal impulsive control input sequences is proposed. The algorithm iteratively refines estimates of an outward normal vector to the reachable set at the target state and a minimal set of control input times until the optimality criteria are satisfied to within a user-specified tolerance. Next, optimal control inputs are computed by solving a quadratic program. The algorithm is validated through simulations of challenging example problems based on the recently proposed miniaturized distributed occulter/telescope small satellite mission, which demonstrate that the proposed algorithm converges several times faster than comparable algorithms in the literature.

During the construction of shield tunnels, the tunnel lining often has the problem of local or overall upward movement in soft soil areas. Excessive upward movement will lead to lining dislocation, cracks, damage, and even axis deviation. This paper elaborates on how to predict the process of tunnel lining upward movement using machine learning algorithms and field monitoring data systematically. First, fourteen input variables including shield operational parameters, tunnel geometry, geological conditions and anomalous condition are considered to predict the upward displacement of twelve output variables that represent the process of the upward move-ment of the tunnel lining. In addition, 80% field monitoring data (81 datasets) are selected randomly as the training set, and the remaining 20% (20 datasets) are the test set. Then, the average of 5-fold cross validation mean absolute error is regarded as the fitness function of optimization algorithms to find the optimal hyper-parameters. Finally, the prediction performance of four machine learning (ML) algorithms back-propagation neural network (BPNN), general regression neural network (GRNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), and support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) were compared. All ML algorithms except BPNN predicted successfully the trend of upward movement of tunnel lining. In particular, PSO-GRNN accurately captures the evolution of upward displacement in different periods of each ring with the lowest errors and the largest correlation coefficient values.
