    A Chaos Sparrow Search Algorithm with Logarithmic Spiral and Adaptive Step for Engineering Problems

    Andi Tang, Huan Zhou*, Tong Han, Lei Xie

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.130, No.1, pp. 331-364, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.017310 - 29 November 2021

    Abstract The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is a newly proposed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the sparrow foraging principle. Similar to other meta-heuristic algorithms, SSA has problems such as slow convergence speed and difficulty in jumping out of the local optimum. In order to overcome these shortcomings, a chaotic sparrow search algorithm based on logarithmic spiral strategy and adaptive step strategy (CLSSA) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, in order to balance the exploration and exploitation ability of the algorithm, chaotic mapping is introduced to adjust the main parameters of SSA. Secondly, in order to improve… More >

    Energy Engineering, Vol.119, No.1, pp. 429-451, 2022, DOI:10.32604/EE.2022.018145 - 22 November 2021

    Abstract Due to widespread applications of the bent ducts in engineering fields such as in chemical, mechanical, bio-mechanical and bio-medical engineering, scientists have paid considerable attention to invent new characteristics of fluid flow in a bent duct (BD). In the ongoing study, a spectral-based numerical technique is applied to explore flow characteristics and energy distribution through a loosely bent square duct (BSD) of small curvature. Flow is accelerated due to combined action of the non-dimensional parameters; the Grashof number Gr (=1000), the curvature (=0.001), and the Prandtl number Pr (=7.0) over a wide domain of the Dean… More >

    Optimal Parameter Estimation of Transmission Line Using Chaotic Initialized Time-Varying PSO Algorithm

    Abdullah Shoukat1, Muhammad Ali Mughal1,*, Saifullah Younus Gondal1, Farhana Umer2, Tahir Ejaz3, Ashiq Hussain1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 269-285, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.021575 - 03 November 2021

    Abstract Transmission line is a vital part of the power system that connects two major points, the generation, and the distribution. For an efficient design, stable control, and steady operation of the power system, adequate knowledge of the transmission line parameters resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance is of great importance. These parameters are essential for transmission network expansion planning in which a new parallel line is needed to be installed due to increased load demand or the overhead line is replaced with an underground cable. This paper presents a method to optimally estimate the parameters using… More >

    Uncertainty Analysis of Seepage-Induced Consolidation in a Fractured Porous Medium

    Lingai Guo1, Marwan Fahs2, Hussein Hoteit3, Rui Gao1,*, Qian Shao1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.129, No.1, pp. 279-297, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.016619 - 24 August 2021

    Abstract Numerical modeling of seepage-induced consolidation process usually encounters significant uncertainty in the properties of geotechnical materials. Assessing the effect of uncertain parameters on the performance variability of the seepage consolidation model is of critical importance to the simulation and tests of this process. To this end, the uncertainty and sensitivity analyses are performed on a seepage consolidation model in a fractured porous medium using the Bayesian sparse polynomial chaos expansion (SPCE) method. Five uncertain parameters including Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and the permeability of the porous matrix, the permeability within the fracture, and Biot’s constant… More >

    Using Big Data to Discover Chaos in China’s Futures Market During COVID-19

    Lin Tie1, Bin Huang1, Bin Pan1, Guang Sun1,2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.3, pp. 3095-3107, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.019363 - 24 August 2021

    Abstract COVID-19 was first reported in China and quickly spread throughout the world. Weak investor confidence in government efforts to control the pandemic seriously affected global financial markets. This study investigated chaos in China’s futures market during COVID-19, focusing on the degree of chaos at different periods during the pandemic. We constructed a phase diagram to observe the attractor trajectory of index futures (IFs). During the COVID-19 outbreak, overall chaos in China’s futures market was increasing, and there was a clear correlation between market volatility and the macroenvironment (mainly government regulation). The Hurst index, calculated by More >

    An Uncertainty Analysis Method for Artillery Dynamics with Hybrid Stochastic and Interval Parameters

    Liqun Wang1, Zengtao Chen2, Guolai Yang1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.126, No.2, pp. 479-503, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.011954 - 21 January 2021

    Abstract This paper proposes a non-intrusive uncertainty analysis method for artillery dynamics involving hybrid uncertainty using polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). The uncertainty parameters with sufficient information are regarded as stochastic variables, whereas the interval variables are used to treat the uncertainty parameters with limited stochastic knowledge. In this method, the PCE model is constructed through the Galerkin projection method, in which the sparse grid strategy is used to generate the integral points and the corresponding integral weights. Through the sampling in PCE, the original dynamic systems with hybrid stochastic and interval parameters can be transformed into… More >

    Abstract Increase in demand for multimedia and quality services requires 5G networks to resolve issues such as slicing, allocation, forwarding, and control using techniques such as software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization. In this study, the optimum number of SDN multi-controllers are implemented based on a multi-criterion advanced genetic algorithm that takes into consideration three key parameters: Switch controller latency, hopcount, and link utilization. Preprocessing is the first step, in which delay, delay paths, hopcount, and hoppaths are computed as an information matrix (Infomat). Randomization is the second step, and consists of initially placing controllers… More >

    Abdulsattar Abdullah Hamad1, Ahmed S. Al-Obeidi2, Enas H. Al-Taiy2, Osamah Ibrahim Khalaf3, Dac-Nhuong Le4,5,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.66, No.3, pp. 3311-3327, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.013395 - 28 December 2020

    Abstract Synchronization is one of the most important characteristics of dynamic systems. For this paper, the authors obtained results for the nonlinear systems controller for the custom Synchronization of two 4D systems. The findings have allowed authors to develop two analytical approaches using the second Lyapunov (Lyp) method and the Gardano method. Since the Gardano method does not involve the development of special positive Lyp functions, it is very efficient and convenient to achieve excessive system SYCR phenomena. Error is overcome by using Gardano and overcoming some problems in Lyp. Thus we get a great investigation… More >

    Stability and Bifurcation Analysis of a Discrete Predator-Prey Model with Mixed Holling Interaction

    M. F. Elettreby1, 2, *, Tamer Nabil1, 3, A. Khawagi4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.122, No.3, pp. 907-921, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.08664 - 01 March 2020

    Abstract In this paper, a discrete Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model is proposed that considers mixed functional responses of Holling types I and III. The equilibrium points of the model are obtained, and their stability is tested. The dynamical behavior of this model is studied according to the change of the control parameters. We find that the complex dynamical behavior extends from a stable state to chaotic attractors. Finally, the analytical results are clarified by some numerical simulations. More >
