Semi-Markov jump systems(S-MJMs) not only characterize hybrid systems but also address the limitations of Markov jump systems(MJMs) [1–3]. Due to their ability to exhibit multi-time-scale features, singularly perturbed models(SPMs) effectively model practical systems influenced by multiple time-scale phenomena [4]. In this study, the observer-based output feedback controller is asynchronous with the original system due to the time delay in the controller mode switching. A nonlinear plant with singularly perturbed parameters(SPPs) is represented using an interval type-2(IT2) fuzzy model [5].

This paper explores the eco-driving problem of parallel hybrid electric vehicles, intended to drive a certain distance within a limited amount of time, where the longitudinal vehicle velocity and powertrain controls are optimized to minimize the fuel consumption. In particular, we incorporate Pontryagin's Minimum Principle (PMP) and singular control theory in an optimization framework to find the fuel-optimal velocity and power-split control policy for the prime mover and the electric machine with global optimality guarantees. In addition, we present reformulations and derivations, so that the same problem can be solved jointly using another framework based on convex optimization, with the same global optimality properties, employing methods originally derived for timeoptimal control of race cars. Thereby, we formally show the equivalence between the eco-driving and the racing problem. We showcase both our frameworks with numerical solutions, drawing three comparisons: First, we solve the velocity and power-split problem, both sequentially and jointly, using the PMP framework. We show that the latter can improve the fuel consumption by 2.6 %. Second, we benchmark the PMP and the convex framework by solving the joint problem with both methods and observe a discrepancy of 0.14% in terms of the resulting fuel energy consumption. Finally, in a numerical study addressing the performance of both methods individually, we observe that the efficiency of the PMP and the convex framework are strongly dependent on the stopping criteria and the discretization step size, respectively.

The survival rate of lung cancer relies significantly on how far the disease has spread when it is detected, how it reacts to the treatment, the patient’s overall health, and other factors. Therefore, the earlier the lung cancer diagnosis, the higher the survival rate. For radiologists, recognizing malignant lung nodules from computed tomography (CT) scans is a challenging and time-consuming process. As a result, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been suggested to alleviate these burdens. Deep-learning approaches have demonstrated remarkable results in recent years, surpassing traditional methods in different fields. Researchers are currently experimenting with several deep-learning strategies to increase the effectiveness of CAD systems in lung cancer detection with CT. This work proposes a deep-learning framework for detecting and diagnosing lung cancer. The proposed framework used recent deep-learning techniques in all its layers. The autoencoder technique structure is tuned and used in the preprocessing stage to denoise and reconstruct the medical lung cancer dataset. Besides, it depends on the transfer learning pre-trained models to make multi-classification among different lung cancer cases such as benign, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The proposed model provides high performance while recognizing and differentiating between two types of datasets, including biopsy and CT scans. The Cancer Imaging Archive and Kaggle datasets are utilized to train and test the proposed model. The empirical results show that the proposed framework performs well according to various performance metrics. According to accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC metrics, it achieves 99.60, 99.61, 99.62, 99.70, and 99.75%, respectively. Also, it depicts 0.0028, 0.0026, and 0.0507 in mean absolute error, mean squared error, and root mean square error metrics. Furthermore, it helps physicians effectively diagnose lung cancer in its early stages and allows spe

Coalition formation(CF) refers to reasonably organizing robots and/or humans to form coalitions that can satisfy mission requirements, attracting more and more attention in many fields such as multirobot collaboration and human-robot collaboration. However, the analysis on CF problems remains *** provide a valuable study reference for researchers interested in CF, this paper proposed a capabilitycentric analysis of the CF problem. The key problem elements of CF are firstly extracted by referencing the concepts of the 5W1H method. That is, objects(who) form coalitions(what) to accomplish missions(why) by aggregating capabilities(how) in a specific environment(where-when). Then, a multi-view analysis of these elements and their correlation in terms of capabilities is proposed through various logic diagrams, structure charts, etc. Finally, to facilitate a deeper understanding of capability-centric CF, a general mathematical model is constructed, demonstrating how the different concepts discussed in this analysis contribute to the overall model.
