An efficient modified HS conjugate gradient algorithm in machine learning by Gonglin Yuan, Minjie Huang

“…In this paper, the authors proposed an improved Hestenes-Stiefe conjugate gradient algorithm having characteristics like: ⅰ) The algorithm depicts the decreasing features and trust region properties free of conditionalities. ⅱ) The algorithm satisfies global convergence. ⅲ) The algorithm can be applied to tackle the image restoration problem, monotone nonlinear equations, and machine learning problems. …”

Robust Adaptive Beamforming via Modified Variable Loading with Subsampling Preprocessing by Xiangwei Chen, Weixing Sheng

“…First, a novel subsampling method is used to construct the calibrated covariance matrix to improve the robustness of the VL in sample-starving scenarios. Then, a parameter-free method for the VL factor is proposed to further enhance the insensitivity to the steering vector mismatches of the antenna array. …”

On Fractional SIRC Model with Salmonella Bacterial Infection by Fathalla A. Rihan, Dumitru Baleanu, S. Lakshmanan, R. Rakkiyappan

“…We propose a fractional order SIRC epidemic model to describe the dynamics of Salmonella bacterial infection in animal herds. The infection-free and endemic steady sates, of such model, are asymptotically stable under some conditions. …”

Discrete-Time Exponentially Stabilizing Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control via Lyapunov’s Method by Radiša Ž. Jovanović, Zoran M. Bučevac

“…The exponentially stabilizing state feedback control algorithm is developed by Lyapunov’s second method leading to the variable structure system with chattering free sliding modes. Linear time-invariant discrete-time second order plant is considered and the control law is obtained by using a simple fuzzy controller. …”
