Improved Genetic Algorithm for Distribution System Performance Analysis by Taking Advantage of Essential Spanning Trees by Yanzhu Ji, Zhuoqun Shi, Robert M. O’Connell

“…Results of the study show that for relatively small test systems, optimum system configurations are obtained using values of N and Gen that require very small CPU times. In larger systems, optimum values of N and Gen requiring reasonable CPU times can also be found, provided that certain carefully chosen branches are removed from the pool of possibilities when producing the initial population in the algorithm. …”

SIMULATION ANALYSIS FOR ENERGY-ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF A NESTED SQUARE THIN-WALLED TUBE by YU MingYang, MI CaiYing

“…The results show that: during the collision happening in the axial direction,the deformation mode of the nested square thin-walled tube is asymptotic telescoping deformation; the specific energy absorption of the nested square thin-walled tube is 25. 72 kJ/kg,which is about 1. 64 times and 1. 31 times higher than the ordinary square tube and symmetrical four cells tube; reducing the thickness of the embedded walls can achieve the lightweight design target and shortening the height of the embedded walls and ribs can effectively reduce the initial peak crushing force. …”

Research on test strategy for randomness based on deep learning by Dongyu CHEN, Hua CHEN, Limin FAN, Yifang FU, Jian WANG

“…In order to achieve better test performance, researches on the randomness test strategies based on deep learning were conducted, including the batch average strategy proposed by EUROCRYPT 2021 and the selection strategy for data unit size.By introducing the randomness statistical test model based on deep learning methods, the statistical distribution and test power expression of two test strategies were theoretically derived, and it was pointed out that: (i) the batch average strategy could amplify the prediction accuracy of the model, but it was prone to an increase in the probability of the second type of error in statistics, instead reducing the statistical test power; (ii) the smaller data units of the deep model generally obtained the more powerful statistical tests.Based on the above understanding, a new bit-level deep learning model was proposed for randomness statistical tests, which gained the advantage of prediction with 80 times fewer parameters and 50% samples, compared with the previous work on linear congruent generator (LCG) algorithm, and achieved significant prediction advantages with 10～20 times fewer parameters by extending the model to apply to 5～7 rounds of Speck, compared with the model proposed by Gohr.…”
