Nonlinear equation systems may have multiple optimal solutions. The main task of solving nonlinear equation systems is to simultaneously locate these optimal solutions in a single run. When solving nonlinear equation systems by evolutionary algorithms, usually a nonlinear equation system should be transformed into a kind of optimization problem. At present, various transformation techniques have been proposed. This paper presents a simple and generic transformation technique based on multiobjective optimization for nonlinear equation systems. Unlike the previous work, our transformation technique transforms a nonlinear equation system into a biobjective optimization problem that can be decomposed into two parts. The advantages of our transformation technique are twofold: 1) all the optimal solutions of a nonlinear equation system are the Pareto optimal solutions of the transformed problem, which are mapped into diverse points in the objective space, and 2) multiobjective evolutionary algorithms can be directly applied to handle the transformed problem. In order to verify the effectiveness of our transformation technique, it has been integrated with non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II to solve nonlinear equation systems. The experimental results have demonstrated that, overall, our transformation technique outperforms another state-of-the-art multiobjective optimization based transformation technique and four single-objective optimization based approaches on a set of test instances. The influence of the types of Pareto front on the performance of our transformation technique has been investigated empirically. Moreover, the limitation of our transformation technique has also been identified and discussed in this paper.

Fault-Tolerant Stochastic Sampled-Data Fuzzy Control for Nonlinear Delayed Parabolic PDE Systems

Qian-Qian Li, Zi-Peng Wang, Tingwen Huang, Huai-Ning Wu, Han-Xiong Li, Junfei Qiao

Summary: This article addresses fault-tolerant stochastic sampled-data fuzzy control for nonlinear delayed parabolic PDE systems under spatially point measurements. A T-S fuzzy PDE model is used to accurately describe the system. A fault-tolerant SD fuzzy controller with stochastic sampling is designed considering possible actuator failure, and a novel time-dependent Lyapunov functional is constructed to obtain sufficient conditions for the mean square exponential stability of the closed-loop system based on linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of the designed approach is illustrated through three examples.

Spatiotemporal Entropy for Abnormality Detection and Localization of Li-Ion Battery Packs

Peng Wei, Han-Xiong Li

Summary: In this article, a spatiotemporal entropy method is proposed to detect and locate thermal abnormalities of Li-ion battery (LIB) packs. The spatial entropy and temporal entropy are constructed from different scales based on Karhunen-Loeve (KL) decomposition, and then integrated into the comprehensive spatiotemporal entropy. The kernel density estimation is used to derive the detection threshold, and the entropy contribution function is designed for abnormality localization. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in timely detecting and precisely locating abnormal cells at the early stage.

Combining Reduced-Order Model With Data-Driven Model for Parameter Estimation of Lithium-Ion Battery

Zhong-Yi Shui, Xu-Hao Li, Yun Feng, Bing-Chuan Wang, Yong Wang

Summary: The parameters of a lithium-ion battery are crucial for an effective battery management system. Parameter estimation using the pseudo-two-dimensional (P2D) model is more cost-effective than direct measurement methods, but the simulation of the P2D model is time-consuming. To overcome this, a two-phase surrogate model-assisted parameter estimation algorithm (TPSMA-PEAL) is proposed, combining the advantages of reduced-order and data-driven models. TPSMA-PEAL addresses challenges such as overfitting and low observability using differential evolution and parameter sensitivity analysis. Simulations and experiments demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of TPSMA-PEAL.

Shift-Based Penalty for Evolutionary Constrained Multiobjective Optimization and Its Application

Zhongwei Ma, Yong Wang

Summary: This article presents a new constraint-handling technique called shift-based penalty (ShiP) for solving constrained multiobjective optimization problems. ShiP utilizes a two-step process by shifting infeasible solutions towards feasible solutions and penalizing them based on constraint violations. ShiP encourages diverse feasible solutions during the early stage of evolution and promotes convergence towards Pareto optimal solutions in the later stage. The effectiveness of ShiP is demonstrated through experiments on benchmark test problems and its application in vehicle scheduling.
