The gene section ordering on solving traveling salesman problems is analyzed by numerical experiments. Some improved crossover operations are presented. Several combinations of genetic operations are examined and the functions of these operations are analyzed. The essentiality of the ordering of the gene section and the significance of the evolutionary inversion operation are discussed. Some results and conclusions are obtained and given, which provide useful information for the implementation of the genetic operations for solving the traveling salesman problem.

Wireless sensor networks have posed a number of challenging problems such as localization, deployment and tracking, etc. One of the interesting problems is the calculation of the coverage and exposure paths for the sensor networks. This paper presents a fully localized algorithm to solve the worst coverage problem first introduced by Meguerdichian et al. The nodes of the sensor network cooperate to construct the worst coverage path only by the one-hop neighbor's information, thus avoiding the massive communication and conserving the energy. The correctness of the proposed algorithm is proved formally under the sensing diminishing model. Moreover, this algorithm can be easily extended to solve the minimal exposure problem with local information as well.

Data Grid is one of key factors to build up large-scale dataset storage system and providing highperformancecomputing capacity, by connecting distributed resources in the Grid. One major challenge in data grids is how to provide good and timely access to huge amount of data in distributed locations, given the high latency of interconnection networks. Parallel downloading methods can improve download efficiency and performance, but the download process should have started from appropriate locations for such achievement. In this paper, we present the design of Location Selection System (LSS) for data grid environments, aiming at the problem of downloading locations. The proposed Location Selection System (LSS) not only provides users for setting their own priority strategies, but also provides two downloading modes, manual and automatic. The proposed techniques included as middleware over data grid platforms optimize Me downloads, by improving its efficiency and performance.

Due to over-abundant information on the Web, information filtering becomes a key task for online users to obtain relevant suggestions and how to extract the most related item is always a key topic for researchers in various fields. In this paper, we adopt tools used to analyze complex networks to evaluate user reputation and item quality. In our proposed Accumulative Time Based Ranking (ATR) algorithm, we take into account the growth record of the network to identify the evolution of the reputation of users and the quality of items, by incorporating two behavior weighting factors which can capture the hidden facts on reputation and quality dynamics for each user and item respectively. Our proposed ATR algorithm mainly combines the iterative approach to rank user reputation and item quality with temporal dependence compared with other reputation evaluation methods. We show that our algorithm outperforms other benchmark ranking algorithms in terms of precision and robustness on empirical datasets from various online retailers and the citation datasets among research publications. Therefore, our proposed method has the capability to effectively evaluate user reputation and item quality.

In this paper, a unified model for time-dependent Maxwell equations in dispersive media is considered. The space-time DG method developed in [29] is applied to solve the un-derlying problem. Unconditional L2-stability and error estimate of order O?τr+1+hk+1/2? are obtained when polynomials of degree at most r and k are used for the temporal dis-cretization and spatial discretization respectively. 2-D and 3-D numerical examples are given to validate the theoretical results. Moreover, numerical results show an ultra-convergence of order 2r+1 in temporal variable t.

Quantum walk, the quantum counterpart of random walk, is an important model and widely studied to develop new quantum algorithms. This paper studies the relationship between the continuous-time quantum walk and the symmetry of a graph, especially that of a tree. Firstly, we prove in mathematics that the symmetry of a graph is highly related to quantum walk. Secondly, we propose an algorithm based on the continuous-time quantum walk to compute the symmetry of a tree. Our algorithm has better time complexity O(N3) than the current best algorithm. Finally, through testing three types of 10024 trees, we find that the symmetry of a tree can be found with an extremely high efficiency with the help of the continuous-time quantum walk.

The use of computational-intelligence-based techniques in the optimization of agent initial positions in land combat simulations is studied. A novel method for the reduction of support vectors in the support vector machine (SVM) is presented. The optimization on the width of the Gaussian kernel function and the combination of the SVM with the radial basis function neural network are performed in the proposed method. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the running efficiency drastically compared with that using the traditional SVM with the same precision. We also summarize and present some experiences and trends in the study on the optimization problem in land combat simulation.

Modern computer vision technologies enable systems to detect, recognize, and analyze facial features, but challenges arise when images are noisy, blurred, or low quality. Blind face restoration, which aims to recover high-quality facial images without prior knowledge of degradation, addresses this issue. In this paper, we introduce Fair Restoration GAN (FaiResGAN), a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) designed to balance face restoration with the preservation of soft biometrics (identity, ethnicity, age, and gender). Our model incorporates a pseudo-random batch composition algorithm to promote fairness and mitigate bias, alongside a realistic degradation model simulating corruptions typical in surveillance images. Experimental results show that FaiResGAN outperforms state-of-the-art blind face restoration methods, both quantitatively and qualitatively. A user study involving 40 participants showed that FaiResGAN-restored images were preferred by 70% of users. Additionally, tests on VGGFace2, UTKFace, and FairFace datasets demonstrate FaiResGAN’s superior performance in preserving soft biometric attributes and ensuring fair restoration across different genders and ethnicities.
