In this paper, a robust distributed control design based on proportional plus second-order spatial derivative (P-sD) is proposed for exponential stabilization and minimization of spatial variation of a class of distributed parameter systems (DPSs) with spatiotemporal uncertainties, whose model is represented by parabolic partial differential equations with spatially varying coefficients. Based on the Lyapunov's direct method, a robust distributed P-sD controller is developed to not only exponentially stabilize the DPS for all admissible spatiotemporal uncertainties but also minimize the spatial variation of the process. The outcome of the robust distributed P-sD control problem is formulated as a spatial differential bilinear matrix inequality (SDBMI) problem. A local optimization algorithm that the SDBMI is treated as a double spatial differential linear matrix inequality (SDLMI) is presented to solve this SDBMI problem. Furthermore, the SDLMI optimization problem can be approximately solved via the finite difference method and the existing convex optimization techniques. Finally, the proposed design method is successfully applied to feedback control problem of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation.

The intersection models, such as delay models and queuing length models, are the foundations of optimal signal timing for urban intersection. Lack of the field data of intersection, it is highly difficult to calibrate parameters of the intersection models. Due to the effects of intersection topology, channelization and traffic conditions on these models, obviously it is impossible for single model to be suitable for optimal control of various intersections.

In this paper, a novel topological mapping approach applied to the navigation mission is proposed based on visual sensor network. Firstly, the natural objects in the scene monitored by visual sensor network are recognized through the inference model based on structural features. Then, topological nodes are designed according to the recognized objects and their spatial structure information, and topological mapping will be fulfilled. On this basis, global localization for mobile robot in camera view can be implemented with HOG feature based detection and tracking. Finally, the robot can make motion decisions for navigation. Our approach does not rely on artificial landmarks and is tested in large-scale office scene. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified.

Understanding the strategies to optimize/suppress information spreads under intense competition could provide important insights in a broad range of settings including viral marketing, emergency response and information system design. However, most of existing studies about competitive influence diffusion mainly focus on two-information competition mechanism. To date, the competitive influence maximization problem considering the mechanism of multi-information competition is still not well studied. In this paper, we conducted computational experiments to study the competitive influence maximization with multi-information competition mechanism. By applying an information diffusion model called limited attention model (LAM), we carried on two computational experiments to validate the model and investigate the relation between seed selection methods and the properties of information cascades. Our experimental results show that 1) the LAM model could reproduce the features of empirical distribution in Chinese social media; 2) the eigenvector centrality-based heuristic is a reasonable seed selection method for competitive influence maximization problem. The results of this paper can provide significant potential implications for information system design and management.

Sensory feedback plays a very significant role in the generation of diverse and stable movements for animals. In this paper we describe our effort to develop a Central Pattern Generator (CPG)-based sensory feedback control for the creation of multimodal swimming for a multi-articulated robotic fish in the context of neurocomputing. The proposed control strategy is composed of two phases: the upper decision-making and the automatic adjustment. According to the upper control commands and the sensory inputs, different swimming gaits are determined by a finite state machine algorithm. At the same time, the sensory feedback is exploited to shape the CPG coupling forms and control parameters. In the automatic adjustment phase, the CPG model with sensory feedback will adapt the environment autonomously. Simulation and underwater tests are further conducted to verify the presented control scheme. It is found that the CPG-based sensory feedback control method can effectively improve the manoeuvrability and adaptability of the robotic fish in water.

The long propagation delay and low data rate characteristics of acoustic communication attach many challenges to underwater wireless sensor networks. In this paper, a TDMA based underwater acoustic channel access method (UA-MAC) is proposed mainly to improve channel utilization in dense mobile underwater wireless sensor networks (MUWSN). In UA-MAC, the time slot of each node accessing to the acoustic channel is assigned according to a preverified template, which aims to minimize amount of slots so as to decrease the end-to-end delay. In addition, a piggyback based protocol is implemented to synchronize and schedule the network. The simulation results show that UA-MAC is much superior to common TDMA in throughput, channel utilization, and end-to-end delay especially in dense scenario. Based on the low-power low-cost underwater acoustic nodes we developed, the experiments were carried out to validate the proposed UA-MAC.

In the past decade, adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) has been widely used to realize online learning tracking control of dynamical systems, where neural networks with manually designed features are commonly used. In order to improve the generalization capability and learning efficiency of ADP, this paper presents a novel framework of ADP with sparse kernel machines by integrating kernel methods and approximately linear dependence (ALD) analysis into the critic module of ADP for the optimal tracking controller design. An ADP algorithm based on sparse kernel learning and heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) is proposed, that is, kernel HDP (KHDP). Based on KHDP, an experiment is established. By simulation, the effectiveness of proposed algorithm is demonstrated.

In search advertisements, advertisers have to seek for an effective allocation strategy to distribute the limited budget over a series of sequential temporal slots (e.g., days). However, advertisers usually have no sufficient knowledge to determine the optimal budget for each temporal slot, because there exist much uncertainty in search advertising markets. In this paper, we present a stochastic model for budget distribution over a series of sequential temporal slots under a finite time horizon, assuming that the best budget is a random variable. We study some properties and feasible solutions for our model, taking the best budget being characterized by either normal distribution or uniform distribution, respectively. Furthermore, we also make some experiments to evaluate our model and identify strategies with the real-world data collected from practical advertising campaigns. Experimental results show that a) our strategies outperform the baseline strategy that is commonly used in practice;b) the optimal budget is more likely to be normally distributed than uniformly distributed.

If a piece of disinformation released from a terrorist organization propagates on Twitter and this adversarial campaign is detected after a while, how emergence responders can wisely choose a set of source users to start the counter campaign to minimize the disruptive influence of disinformation in a short time? This practical problem is challenging and critical for authorities to make online social networks a more trustworthy source of information. In this work, we propose to study the time critical disinformation influence minimization problem in online social networks based on a continuous-time multiple campaign diffusion model. We show that the complexity of this optimization problem is NP-hard and provide a provable guaranteed approximation algorithm for this problem by proving several critical properties of the objective function. Experimental results on a sample of real online social network show that the proposed approximation algorithm outperforms various heuristics and the transmission temporal dynamics knowledge is vital for selecting the counter campaign source users, especially when the time window is small.
