基于混合算法的局部路径规划

人工势场法是一种常用的具有算法简单和便于实时控制的局部路径规划方法,但存在容易产生局部极小值的问题。基于模糊逻辑的局部路径规划法具有环境适应性强等优点,它在连续论域内采用模糊路径规划时,计算量比较大。提出了一种将人工势场法和模糊逻辑法相结合进行局部路径规划的混合算法。具体方法是在一般情况下采用人工势场法进行局部路径规划,当产生局部极小值时,采用模糊逻辑法进行局部路径规划。仿真结果表明,该方法能有效地解决局部极小值问题,给智能车规划出光滑的路径。     

用于三维点云表示的扩展点特征直方图算法

局部特征提取在点云相关应用中具有十分重要的作用,因此提出一种用于点云局部特征表示的扩展点特征直方图描述子。针对邻域点的两两点对提出一系列不变量;在特征点上构建一个局部参考坐标框架以获得特征描述子对旋转和平移的不变性;将关键点局部邻域划分成多个子空间,并依据每个子空间中的点对不变量构建一个直方图;将所有直方图串联起来得到扩展点特征直方图特征描述子。采用Bologna公共数据集对扩展点特征直方图特征描述子的性能进行测试,并与多个现有算法进行对比。结果表明,扩展点特征直方图特征描述子获得了良好的性能,其结果优于多个现有的特征描述子。     

面向多平台多目标协同跟踪的指派问题

针对多平台多目标协同跟踪中要求多个无人地面平台尽可能均匀地协同跟踪多个目标的特点,提出了改进的离散粒子群优化算法。首先采用连续型粒子群优化算法中的速度和位置迭代公式,然后对粒子位置进行离散编码,使粒子编码对应于可行的指派方案;其次,在优化算法中引入局部搜索,提高算法寻优性能。最后将所提算法应用于多平台多目标协同跟踪中的指派问题,并与未加入局部搜索的粒子群优化算法比较,仿真结果表明,加入局部搜索后的离散粒子群优化算法具有较好的寻优性能。     

Why internal conflict deteriorates state capacity? Evidence from Colombian municipalities

Previous work has documented a negative correlation between internal conflict and state capacity. We attempt to shed light on mechanisms that underlie this relationship, using data for Colombian municipalities. We rely on identifying heterogeneous effects of different types of violent events on state capacity, taking advantage of variability across municipalities in the prevalence of specific manifestations of conflict and their intensity. Our findings suggest that events making civilians feel targeted affect the state’s capacity to collect taxes, while those reflecting a stronger military capacity of illegal armies, in particular their large-scale attacks, affect the state’s capacity to provide public goods.

Reclaiming the local in EU peacebuilding: Effectiveness,ownership, and resistance

ABSTRACT

Since the early 2000s, the “local turn” has thoroughly transformed the field of peacebuilding. The European Union (EU) policy discourse on peacebuilding has also aligned with this trend, with an increasing number of EU policy statements insisting on the importance of “the local.” However, most studies on EU peacebuilding still adopt a top-down approach and focus on institutions, capabilities, and decision-making at the EU level. This special issue contributes to the literature by focusing on bottom-up and local dynamics of EU peacebuilding. After outlining the rationale and the scope of the special issue, this article discusses the local turn in international peacebuilding and identifies several interrelated concepts relevant to theorizing the role of the local, specifically those of effectiveness, ownership, and resistance. In the conclusion, we summarize the key contributions of this special issue and suggest some avenues for further research.     

Adaptive random search for continuous simulation optimization

We present, analyze, and compare three random search methods for solving stochastic optimization problems with uncountable feasible regions. Our adaptive search with resampling (ASR) approach is a framework for designing provably convergent algorithms that are adaptive and may consequently involve local search. The deterministic and stochastic shrinking ball (DSB and SSB) approaches are also convergent, but they are based on pure random search with the only difference being the estimator of the optimal solution [the DSB method was originally proposed and analyzed by Baumert and Smith]. The three methods use different techniques to reduce the effects of noise in the estimated objective function values. Our ASR method achieves this goal through resampling of already sampled points, whereas the DSB and SSB approaches address it by averaging observations in balls that shrink with time. We present conditions under which the three methods are convergent, both in probability and almost surely, and provide a limited computational study aimed at comparing the methods. Although further investigation is needed, our numerical results suggest that the ASR approach is promising, especially for difficult problems where the probability of identifying good solutions using pure random search is small. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

针对联邦滤波器的特殊性,基于残差故障统计检验原理,详细研究了状态检验法应用时存在的几个问题。由于信息分配,造成子滤波器局部估计次优,从而基于残差的故障统计检验方法不能够直接使用;针对这一问题,修正了残差方差阵的计算方法,并提出一种次优自适应补偿方法,能够有效改善局部估计次优性对故障检测灵敏度的影响。最后的仿真结果表明了研究的有效性和可行性。
