    The investigation on the rumor propagation model is of great significance in developing rumor-dispelling strategy and maintaining social stability. Considering the rumor propagation of college students on college network social platforms, the IG2D2 rumor model with six states is proposed, and then the rumor propagation model based on average field theory is established. Furthermore, taking the factors such as individual differences, conformity effect and trust degree into consideration, a novel non-consistent dynamical rumor propagation model is proposed. The simulation results show that the influence of the degree of the network on the peak value of rumor propagation decreases with the increase of conformity effect, and the retransmission degree of the rumor itself plays an important role in the propagation of rumor.

    Research on product quality prediction for intermittent processes with limited data and nonlinear characteristics. In multi-source domain adaptation, the difference in the amount of data in the source and target domains leads to data imbalance, while there is nonlinearity in the process, which further leads to the inability to model accurately. To address this issue, the SMOTE method is first employed to eliminate the adverse effects of data imbalance on the model’s prediction results. Then, a nonlinear MDAJYPLS algorithm based on RBF networks is proposed to capture the nonlinear characteristics and make full use of the information from multiple similar source domains to assist the target domain process modeling. Further, a batch process quality prediction based on non-linear multi-source domain adaptive JYPLS via SMOTE is proposed, which can improve the prediction accuracy of the model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation experiments of penicillin fermentation process quality prediction.

    For the limitation of existing control methods for obtaining intermediate states, a practical control method (stateless control) is proposed for suspension system by combining the linear quadratic regulator with the Luneberger observer. It directly establishes the relationship between current control input with historical control inputs and outputs. Using a quarter-car suspension system model as an example, the practical control performance of the stateless method is investigated. It incorporates sensor noise, modeled according to sensor precision, and accounts for suspension system parameter uncertainties. The results demonstrate that under both excitation and random excitation, the stateless control method effectively balances the three ride comfort performance indices of the suspension system, achieving excellent overall control performance. Crucially, the stateless control method only requires historical sensor outputs and control inputs to realize optimal control effectiveness even with limited sensors, thus significantly simplifying the control system design and offering significant practical value.

    To address the difficulties in stochastic distribution control teaching, including high theoretical abstraction, the gap between simulation and real industrial constraints, and limited experimental resources, a pure physical experimental system based on a vertical disc grinding process was developed. The system integrates platform construction, data acquisition, modeling, and control into a unified framework. Centered on a self-developed vertical disc mill, it incorporates precise feeding, disc gap adjustment, and speed regulation, while real-time particle size distribution data are obtained through automatic intermittent sampling and a dry laser particle size analyzer. Radial basis function expansion and inverse integration are used to parameterize the output probability density function. Combined with iterative learning and subspace identification, a linear prediction model describing the dynamic relationship between manipulated variables and weight vectors is established. A constrained controller is further designed to achieve target distribution tracking under input constraints and disturbances. Experimental results show that the system is stable and interactive, and can effectively support experimental teaching in stochastic distribution control and related courses.

    The problem of memoryless feedback stabilization for a class of linear systems with unknown input delays is studied. For a class of unstable linear systems whose open-loop poles are located on the imaginary axis, a finite-dimensional memoryless feedback control scheme is proposed when the input delay is unknown. By designing a memoryless truncated predictor feedback (TPF) controller, the implementation problems brought by traditional infinite-dimensional control schemes are avoided. When the unknown input delay is in a time interval, the global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. An explicit expression for the variation range of the unknown input delay is given. Finally, the designed memoryless truncated predictive feedback controller is applied to the delayed dual oscillator system and anti-pitching control of high-speed catamaran, and its effectiveness is verified through MATLAB.

    Accurate trajectory tracking is the key for the intelligent vehicle to achieve autonomous motion control. A novel robust adaptive sliding mode control strategy is proposed to dealing with the issue of system uncertainty affecting the accuracy of trajectory tracking control. Firstly, a two-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model is established based on the principles of vehicle kinematics. Secondly, a sliding surface of proportional integral derivative (PID) type with adaptive properties is designed based on trajectory tracking errors, and the accuracy and robustness of trajectory tracking control are improved by designing adaptive update laws to estimate the sliding mode control gains and the upper bound of system uncertainty in real-time. Thirdly, the control parameters of the controller are optimized by the particle swarm optimization algorithm, which further improves the trajectory tracking control performance. Finally, the proposed control strategy is verified by the simulation under different road conditions and vehicle speeds. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can ensure that the intelligent vehicle tracks the target trajectory under the influence of system uncertainty, and its control performance is superior to the fractional order PID control.

    To address the challenge of achieving low-power consumption and rapid online measurement of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in small-scale wastewater treatment plants, an online self-organizing neural network (OSNN) prediction method based on radial basis function (RBF) is proposed. This method realizes accurate prediction of COD by dynamically controlling the number of neurons and their update rate. By leveraging the excellent continuous function approximation capability of RBF, combined with the flexibility and adaptability of self-organization, the accuracy and adaptability of the measurement model are improved. The proposed method for controlling the update rate of neuron number can maintain the compactness of the neural network and reduce the extension of training time caused by frequent and substantial changes in neuron number. Experimental results demonstrate that the RBF neural network with self-organizing capability can reliably predict the COD parameter values.

    The steam specific enthalpy and dryness of steam turbines in small-scale cogeneration units are important indicators for evaluating turbine safety and economy. However, they are usually not measurable online. An approach for online calculation of these parameters is proposed. First, the superheated state of the steam at the outlet of the steam turbine stage is determined. For the superheated steam, the specific enthalpy of the stage outlet steam is calculated by solving the isentropic enthalpy drop and internal efficiency of the stage. For the saturated steam, the specific enthalpy and dryness of the stage outlet steam are calculated by means of a comprehensive calculation model incorporating the isentropic enthalpy drop, internal efficiency and saturated steam specific enthalpy. Verification results for a 15 MW cogeneration steam turbine demonstrate that the proposed approach is feasible for online application and achieves high precision.

    The visual-inertial simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system is susceptible to cumulative errors. To solve this problem, a tightly-coupled SLAM system based on vision, inertial measurement unit and real-time kinematic (RTK), namely the robust visual-inertial navigation system (RVINS), is proposed. The absolute positioning of RTK is used to eliminate the accumulated errors. Based on the framework of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-visual-inertial navigation system (GVINS), the external transformation between the local coordinate system of visual inertial navigation and the global coordinate system of RTK is calculated by Doppler frequency shift based on visual inertial navigation, thereby completing the initialization of the system. After initialization, a joint optimization function integrating vision, inertial measurement unit and RTK is constructed by tight coupling for back-end optimization, thereby obtaining the optimal pose estimation. RVINS is tested by using GVINS datasets in the experiment. The experimental results show that the positioning accuracy of RVINS can reach the centimeter level when RTK is effective, RVINS degenerates into a visual-inertial SLAM system and exhibits high robustness when RTK fails.

    Taking a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) serial manipulator as the research object, the concept of key joints is first introduced. By implementing torque control at these key force-controlled joints while simultaneously incorporating their output angles into the manipulator’s position control, a hybrid force/position control algorithm based on active force-controlled joints is proposed. Leveraging the theories of manipulator dynamics and inverse kinematics, the proposed algorithm achieves force control along a predefined positional trajectory. Finally, for the RM65-B dexterous 6-DoF manipulator, a MATLAB-based simulation platform is established to conduct experiments and analyze the tracking performance of the hybrid force/position control scheme. The favorable simulation results validate the feasibility of the proposed control method.

    In recent years, inspection robots have greatly improved the safety of mine operations. However, the unstructured environment of mines poses difficulties in the high cost and maintenance to track inspection robots, and the explosion-proof requirement of mines limits the hardware design of inspection robots.

Furthermore, a scheduling strategy model for unmanned inspection tasks in underground mines based on automata is established, and synthesized a complete scheduling strategy for unmanned inspection tasks in underground mines based on the supervised control theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the scheduling strategy is verified through scheduling experiments with a UAV and a ground handling cabin.

    The current elevator group control scheduling system has insufficient debugging safety, high difficulty in design evaluation, and high debugging costs. Therefore, a simulation model for elevator group control is developed. Based on this model, the elevator group control scheduling scheme is dynamically evaluated according to indicators such as the average waiting time of passengers, long-time waiting rates, and the energy consumption of the elevators. To address the issues of low elevator operation efficiency and poor passenger comfort during elevator rides, a deep Q network (DQN) is developed to realize optimized scheduling for elevator group control. The corresponding state space, reward signals, and agent structure are designed by the primary factors affecting elevator transportation efficiency. Considering the lengthy duration of online training for reinforcement learning agents and the challenge of providing real-time decision support, the operational data from the elevator group control simulation model is utilized to train a feedforward neural network, and an elevator group control environment prediction model is developed to serve as the agent training environment. Simulation experiments are conducted by using the elevator group control simulation model. The results showed that, compared with the prevalent minimum response time strategy, the proposed strategy reduces the average waiting time of passengers, average time that passengers spend in the elevator, long-time waiting rate, the number of elevator starts and stops, and increases the average number of arrivals within 5 minutes.

Firstly, the adaptive sliding mode control is used to compensate the internal disturbance of the system such as parameter uncertainty, and the external disturbance is estimated and compensated by the disturbance observer to reduce the controller output; Then, the RBF neural network is used to optimize the control parameters by self-learning and self-adaptive ability, so that the tracking effect is better; the stability of the closed-loop system is finally proved. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the controller output and have higher control quality when the input is limited.

At the same time, a dynamic learning rate is designed instead of the fixed-value learning rate to improve the convergence speed of the error of the double-lift overhead cranes system as well as the steady-state performance. Secondly, an improved adaptive convergence law is proposed to reduce unnecessary chattering, improve the robustness of the double-lift overhead cranes system, and achieve finite time convergence. Finally, the stability of the controlled system is demonstrated using Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the designed synchronous control scheme.

    For the large amount of band data in hyperspectral remote sensing images and the difficulty in distinguishing and classifying conventional features, a method for hyperspectral image classification based on a semi-supervised subsidiary classifier-generative adversarial network (SSC-GAN) is proposed. Firstly, the discriminator is developed into a semi-supervised multi-classifier, and train the GAN generator in cascade with the discriminator. Then, to expand the data, the discriminator pulls higher-level features from the generated images, and the auxiliary classification labels are coordinated with the generated samples. Finally, a convolutional neural network replaces the discriminator and generator in the GAN, and the dynamic stacking optimization of the two upgraded networks is carried out. The improved algorithm model achieves the best classification accuracy compared to some classical hyperspectral remote sensing image feature extraction and classification approaches, and has more advantages in classification ability and robustness.

    For the four-motor synchronous drive system with backlash, a high-performance Partial loss of effectiveness (PLOE) fault-tolerance control technique is proposed. Firstly, the nonlinear conditions on the motor side and load side are approximated separately using the fuzzy logic system to compensate during the control design process to reduce the tracking error and ensure the tracking performance. In the designed control method, only one adaptive parameter needs to be estimated, reducing the design difficulty. Secondly, a current observer is used to monitor the motor current in real time and estimate the failure factor to obtain the current system parameter information. Finally, a four-motor synchronization architecture based on cross-coupled synchronization control is designed to synchronize the control signals and ensure synchronization performance among the four motors. To verify the effectiveness of the method, the proposed method is compared with dynamic surface fault-tolerant control through simulation. The results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the tracking error of the servo system.

    For the multi-quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (QUAV) system with dynamic uncertainty and external disturbances, a predefined-time formation control algorithm based on the leader-follower method is proposed. Firstly, a predefined-time command filter is introduced to solve the “complexity explosion” problem caused by repeated derivation of virtual signals, and a non-smooth error compensation mechanism is constructed to eliminate the effect of filtering error on the system. Secondly, Lyapunov stability theory is used to prove that the predefined-time formation controller can make the closed-loop system reach a stable state within the predefined time, all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded within the predefined time, and the formation tracking errors of the multi-QUAV system converge to a neighborhood near the origin within the predefined time. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested through simulation using a multi-QUAV system consisting of 1 leader and 4 followers. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    Plate crown is the most important quality index to evaluate the cross-section profile of hot-rolled plate, and good plate crown is the guarantee of normal production, so accurate prediction of bad crown is of crucial significance to ensure production. In the actual production of hot rolling, the number of qualified crown samples is much higher than the undesirable crown, and a large number of nonlinear parameters and strong coupling between parameters make plate crown prediction a very complex imbalanced classification problem. According to the complex data characteristics of hot-rolled plate crown, considering the powerful nonlinear fitting ability of deep learning, combined with cost-sensitive learning to improve the misclassification cost of bad crown, a cost-sensitive deep belief network (CS-DBN) model is proposed. Evaluation indicators such as Macro-F1, Micro-F1, G-Mean and Aacc are used as evaluation indicators of the model. By adjusting the model hyperparameters and optimizer to determine the optimal cost-sensitive deep belief network, and comparing and analyzing it with traditional machine learning algorithms ANN, SVC, KNN, DBN, LR, the results show that CS-DBN is better than traditional machine learning models in all evaluation indicators, and the plate crown prediction results are good.

    To solve the problem that the existing traffic accident risk prediction models lack the extraction of regional spatial correlation and dynamic spatiotemporal features, a traffic accident risk prediction model is constructed based on the spatiotemporal convolutional network with regional similarity. Firstly, a spatial-channel attention multi-graph convolutional network is constructed based on the graph convolutional network, in order to comprehensively capture local geospatial similarity and global semantic attributes. Secondly, spatiotemporal attention is introduced to learn the dynamic representation of the accident features adaptively. Finally, spatial dependencies are captured through multi-head graph attention networks, and temporal correlation of long sequence is modeled by using gated units with bidirectional temporal convolution. The proposed model is tested on two real traffic accident datasets. The experimental results show that the prediction performance of the proposed model for traffic accident risk is superior to that of benchmark models such as long short-term memory neural network.

    For the problems such as large prediction errors and few data features of traditional models in the study of aquaculture water quality, a pH prediction model of aquaculture water quality based on feature con-struction is proposed in this paper. The main part of the model is mixed double convolution layer gated circula-tion unit neural network (MDconv-GRU). Firstly, the original 3 effective features are increased to 6 effective features by correlation calculation and feature construction. Then, the data after the feature construction is input into the MDconv-GRU model for training prediction. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of the model is 92.26%, the root-mean-square error is 0.083 8, the average absolute error is 0.063 5, and mean abso-lute percentage error is 0.830 2. The evaluation criteria are better than other models. This model can accurately predict the pH value of water quality of Stichopus japonicus aquaculture, and lay a foundation for realizing pH warning and increasing the yield of Stichopus Japonicus.

    To improve the accuracy of unmanned ship pose estimation under complex sea conditions, a unmanned ship pose estimation algorithm based on non-Gaussian feature recognition and Gaussian sum cubature particle filter (GSCPF) is proposed. Firstly, based on the idea of normality test, the largest vertical difference between the sample distribution function and the standard Gaussian cumulative distribution function, and the sample skewness-kurtosis are combined to analyze the distribution feature of the data from several angles. Then, if the data shows non-Gaussian distribution feature, an unmanned ship pose estimation method based on Gaussian sum filtering and particle cubature particle filtering is adopted, otherwise, the cubature Kalman filter (CKF) is directly adopted to estimate the unmanned ship pose. Finally, the results of two kinds of simulation experiments show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the accuracy of parameters such as position, velocity and course of unmanned ship.
