This paper reviews the novel concept of a controllable variational autoencoder (ControlVAE), discusses its parameter tuning to meet application needs, derives its key analytic properties, and offer…
In this paper, we study efficient and robust computational methods for solving the security-constrained alternating current optimal power flow (SC-ACOPF) problem, a two-stage nonlinear optimization…
The optimal power-flow problem is central to many tasks in the design and operation of electric power grids. This problem seeks the minimum-cost operating point for an electric power grid while sat…
This article investigates the theoretical and empirical performance of Fisher-Pitman-type permutation tests for assessing the equality of unknown Poisson mixture distributions. Building on nonparam…
Faced with uncertainty when choosing among a wide range of similar competing technologies, users often take a herding in technology adoption (HTA) strategy to make heuristic adoption decisions. The…
Motivated by the allocation of online visits to product, service, and content suppliers in the platform economy, we consider a dynamic contract design problem in which a principal constantly determ…
Pipeline integrity management is of great significance for ensuring the safety of life and property. Due to the stable running, no pressure drops, and hidden characteristics, the identification and…
In the present paper, we demonstrate the first outdoor free-space optical communication (FSOC) system with real-time video transmission in a 2-μm-band with a state-of-the-art data rate performance…
Expensive constraint multimodal optimization problems (ECMMOPs) have such characteristics as expensive objectives and constraints, and multiple optimal modalities simultaneously, which pose severe …
Accurate intrusion recognition along the optical fiber is still an enormous challenge in the distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) based security system. Especially in the complex environments, variou…
