Within functional verification of digital systems there are dynamic methods based on Device Under Verification simulation. We focus on this type of method using functional coverage points. Nowadays, the main problem consists in obtaining high values to exercise all functional coverage points in the device. In this paper we propose a heuristic dynamic verification method based on a Binary differential evolution algorithm to obtain sets of vectors that maximize the functional coverage percentage in a synchronous First Input-First Output (FIFO) memory. The experimental results show that using this evolutionary technique with a relatively small population size, high functional coverage values were obtained. Despite the difficulty in exercising a greater amount of coverage points, we observed that the method obtains higher values than ninety percent in different scenarios.

An efficient variant of differentialevolution (DE) algorithm, namely subpopulated differentialevolution (subDE), is proposed for solving null synthesis problems of time-modulated circular antenna arrays by controlling time intervals and phases. The capabilities of subDE algorithm are examined by comparing its convergence curves and number of successful optimizations to those of the classical DE. Wilcoxon rank-sum test is also applied to ensure that the results are significant in terms of statistics. Furthermore, the antenna array parameters achieved by using subDE are compared to those of the classical DE in the literature. The results show that subDE can exhibit better performance than the classical DE for our antenna array synthesis examples. Additionally, the simulations are executed on an embedded microprocessor to investigate if subDE can also run on such a limited environment. The results demonstrate that the contemporary embedded systems hold promise for evolutionary algorithms.

Amid escalating tension between environmental conservation and economic development, the imperative to enhance air quality has become increasingly urgent. This study elucidates a sophisticated approach for the assessment and remediation of air pollution issues through the integration of an enhanced particle swarm optimization algorithm and a differential gravitational fireworks algorithm-optimized support vector machine (SVM). In the initial phase of this research, a series of intricate data preprocessing and augmentation procedures were conducted, and the differential evolution algorithm played a pivotal role. The differential gravitational fireworks algorithm was subsequently introduced to optimize the SVM parameter settings, thereby bolstering classification accuracy and mitigating issues such as overfitting. Through rigorous and meticulous empirical testing, the augmented SVM model demonstrated notable performance in terms of classification accuracy and sequential and nonsequential data fusion, surpassing conventional SVM techniques. Notably, our sequential fusion method achieved an accuracy of up to 91%, at least 3% higher than that of nonsequential techniques. In conclusion, this study reveals an innovative and enhanced technological approach that is highly effective for the precise measurement and control of air pollution levels.

In the trajectory planning of crewless ships, the artificial potential field method is commonly used. The results obtained using the classic potential field model for path design are not optimal and cannot fully meet the trajectory design requirements of uncrewed ships. This paper uses the evolutionary potential field model for trajectory planning. The evaluation formula of the potential path is combined with the differential evolution algorithm to evaluate and optimize the potential. A quadratic optimization smoothing algorithm is designed to limit the maximum turning angle of the uncrewed ship. Simulation experiments show that this method is effective and reliable.

Trade credit is a significant form of short-term financing in the real business situation. This study proposes a practical multi-warehouse joint replenishment and delivery (MJRD) problem under trade credit in accordance with the realistic situation. The goal of the MJRD is to find the reasonable basic replenishment cycle time, the joint replenishment frequency, the delivery frequency, and the assignment information of suppliers to minimize the total cost. Five intelligent algorithms, which include a differential evolution algorithm, genetic algorithm, adaptive hybrid differential evolution algorithm, arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA), and hybrid arithmetic optimization algorithm (HAOA), are designed to find a solution to this MJRD problem under trade credit. The results of several experiments show that HAOA is effective in solving the proposed MJRD. Compared with AOA, the best improvement is 46.66%. HAOA is a satisfactory algorithm for the proposed MJRD under trade credit.

In recent years, low earth orbit navigation augmentation (LEO-NA) has attracted increasing attention and is expected to become a new addition to global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs). When solving complex constellation design problems, traditional optimization algorithms often fail to achieve satisfactory results and are sensitive to parameter settings. We propose a dynamic multi-objective differentialevolutionary algorithm based on elite guidance (DMODE-EG). It can select the evolutionary strategy based on the evolutionary state reflected by elite individuals and dynamically modify evolution parameters. Moreover, to achieve more uniform global coverage, we construct a two-layer Walker constellation model for LEO-NA. Then, we use the DMODE-EG algorithm to solve the corresponding multi-objective optimization problem and obtain the optimal constellation parameters. With the augmentation of this LEO-NA constellation to the BeiDou-3 system, the average position dilution of precision (PDOP) values drop to 1.2-2.0 from 1.5-5.5, and the number of visible satellites increases from 8-10 to 13-18. By contrast, some realistic LEO constellations and constellations designed by other algorithms bring weaker improvements and cannot address the problem of high PDOP values in some regions. In addition, simulation results on standard test sets verify the excellent convergence and stability of the DMODE-EG algorithm.

Railway projects frequently pass through ecologically fragile regions and result in various ecological damages. The railway alignment determining the layout of structures plays an important role in ecological protection. This paper presents a railway alignment optimization model based on multiobjective bi-level programming (MBRAO). The upper level of MBRAO is a horizontal alignment optimization for the minimization of investment and ecological impacts from tunnel drainage and train noise. A multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) solves the horizontal alignment optimization and naturally maintains population diversity. The lower level of MBRAO is a vertical alignment optimization for investment minimization. A self-adaptive differentialevolution (DE) algorithm adjusting essential parameters based on optimization status solves the vertical alignment optimization efficiently. MBRAO is applied in multistage at both levels to find the suitable numbers of horizontal and vertical points of intersection. This paper introduces three kinds of vertical feature data generated corresponding to horizontal feature data to define different site modification costs on the bridge, subgrade, and tunnel structures. A real-world case study at Wolong Reserve is studied to verify the effectiveness of MBRAO based on a customized geographic information system (GIS).

详细信息
Highly dynamic induction motor drives require converter-driven low-inertia induction machines, which are continuously operated with high torque dynamics to accelerate and brake linear or rotating masses in a highly dynamic manner. However, every rapid change in the torque requires a correspondingly rapid change in the rotor current, which leads to the excitation of the transient skin effect in the massive rotor bars of squirrel cage motors. The additional eddy current losses resulting from the transient skin effect can cause overheating problems, especially in the case of deep rotor bars with fast load cycles. This paper is intended to show the reader how the additional rotor losses caused by the transient skin effect can be reduced through the design optimization procedure. At the same time, the other operating characteristics of the induction motor drive are not impaired. In addition, the moment of inertia of the drive motor can also be reduced as another optimization target by the multi-objective optimization process. As the underlying optimization algorithm, the differentialevolution and the particle swarm optimization are implemented and compared with each other in order to verify the correctness of the optimization results. During the whole optimization work, great importance is attached to the interdisciplinary calculation method so that the interaction between the electromagnetic, thermal, fluid mechanical and control engineering processes can be taken into account through the coupled calculation. In the end, the theoretical and simulative findings are verified with two test benches.

In this work, multilayer perceptron (MLP) has been trained by differential evolution algorithm (DEA) and the performance of the neural network has been analyzed by using high-dimensional and non-linear signature recognition data base. DEA, which doesn't depend on the initial weight values and doesn't stick in local minimums, carries out the global optimization. The performance of the DGA which is the heuristic algorithm to training of the network has been compared to the performance of the error back-propagation algorithm (EBPA) based on gradient. Simulation results show that the performance of the training MLP using DEA is outperforms the training MLP using EBPA.

In this paper, we apply the differential evolution algorithm as a new approach to solve some coefficient problems within Geometric Function Theory. We find sharp bounds for the determinant of the Hankel matrix H-4;1(f) and the determinants of all its sub-matrices for the class of starlike functions, i.e., for the class of all analytic injective functions f in the unit disk D := {z is an element of C : |z| < 1} normalized by f(0) = f'(0) -1 = 0 such that f(D) is a starlike set with respect to the origin. In addition, a relevant conjecture regarding some coefficient functionals related to the Zalcman functional is formulated.
