Continuous-time generative models, such as Flow Matching (FM), construct probability paths to transport between one distribution and another through the simulation-free learning of the neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs). During inference, however, the learned model often requires multiple neural network evaluations to accurately integrate the flow, resulting in a slow sampling speed. We attribute the reason to the inherent (joint) heterogeneity of source and/or target distributions, namely the singularity problem, which poses challenges for training the neural ODEs effectively. To address this issue, we propose a more general framework, termed Switched FM (SFM), that eliminates singularities via switching ODEs, as opposed to using a uniform ODE in FM. Importantly, we theoretically show that FM cannot transport between two simple distributions due to the existence and uniqueness of initial value problems of ODEs, while these limitations can be well tackled by SFM. From an orthogonal perspective, our framework can seamlessly integrate with the existing advanced techniques, such as minibatch optimal transport, to further enhance the straightness of the flow, yielding a more efficient sampling process with reduced costs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly proposed SFM through several numerical examples.

Variational mode decomposition (VMD) is extensively utilized in the field of industrial signal processing due to its superior anti-mixing and denoising capabilities. However, in practice, the performance of VMD is significantly influenced by the initial center frequency $\omega^{1}$ . An improper setting of $\omega^{1}$ can significantly reduce the stability of decomposition, resulting in the loss or masking of feature information by noise. To address the above issue, an improved VMD algorithm is proposed in this work. Our algorithm redefines $\omega^{1}$ based on the narrowband characteristics of intrinsic mode function (IMF). Under the new definition, $\omega^{1}$ can be adaptively adjusted based on the signal spectrum processed by Wiener filtering. This adjustment significantly enhances the flexibility and anti-mixing performance of the original VMD. To validate our proposed method, comparative experiments were conducted using two sets of fault data from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). The results demonstrate that our method is more effective and superior in extracting fault features.

This paper presents an improved equivalent-input-disturbance(EID) approach to deal with periodic disturbances. The approach has two degrees of freedom. One is an improved EID compensator, in which a repetitive controller is inserted in this study. The other is a conventional servo system for a reference *** improved EID compensator estimates and compensates for periodic disturbances without steady-state error, and the servo system ensures a satisfactory tracking performance. The improved EID compensator is designed using the linear-matrix-inequality(LMI) method. Three parameters in an LMI are selected using the particle-swarm-optimization(PSO) algorithm. The state-feedback gain of the conventional servo system is designed using the linear-quadratic-regulator(LQR) method. Simulation results of a rotational control system demonstrate the validity of the approach and its advantage over others.
