Consensus Achievement of Decentralized Sensors Using Adapted Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm by Hyunseok Kim, Seongju Chang, Jinsul Kim

“…To these ends, a novel particle swarm optimization framework to achieve robust consensus of decentralized sensors is devised to distribute sensing information via local fusing with neighbors rather than through centralized control; the new framework showed a 16.5 percent improvement in consensus achievement as compared to the classic majority rule method. Noteworthy enhancements in consensus achievement are also pertinent to the comparable situation of decentralized sensor systems.…”

Theory Analysis of Left-Handed Grünwald-Letnikov Formula with 0<α<1 to Detect and Locate Singularities by Shaoxiang Hu, Ping Liang

“…Theory analysis indicates that fractional-order derivatives of left-handed Grünwald-Letnikov formula with 0<α<1 can detect and locate four types of ideal singularities correctly, which shows better performance than classical 1-order derivatives in theory.…”

The Generalized Twist for the Torsion of Piezoelectric Cylinders by István Ecsedi, Attila Baksa

“…In the classical theory of elasticity, Truesdell proposed the following problem: for an isotropic linearly elastic cylinder subject to end tractions equipollent to a torque T, define a functional τ(u) on Q such that T=Kτ(u), for each u∈Q, where Q is the set of all displacement fields that correspond to the solutions of the torsion problem and K depends only on the cross-section and the elastic properties of the considered cylinder. …”

Rotations in the Space of Split Octonions by Merab Gogberashvili

“…The group of passive transformations that leave invariant the pseudonorm of split octonions is SO(4,4), while active rotations are done by the direct product of O(3,4)-boosts and real noncompact form of the exceptional group G2. In classical limit, these transformations reduce to the standard Lorentz group.…”
