The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is an efficient solution to significantly enhance the energy efficiency of the wireless communication system. In this paper, a downlink multi-cluster NOMA network is considered, where each cluster is supported by one IRS. This paper aims to minimize the transmit power by jointly optimizing the beamforming, the power allocation and the phase shift of each IRS. The formulated problem is non-convex and challenging to be solved due to the coupled variables, i.e., the beamforming vector, the power allocation coefficient and the phase shift matrix. To address this non-convex problem, an alternating optimization based algorithm is proposed. Specifically, the primal problem is divided into two subproblems for beamforming optimization and phase shifting feasiblity, where the two subproblems are solved iteratively. Moreover, to guarantee the feasibility of the beamforming optimization problem, an iterative algorithm is proposed to search the feasible initial points. To reduce the complexity, a simplified algorithm based on partial exhaustive search for this system model is also proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed alternating algorithm can yield a better performance gain than the partial exhaustive search algorithm, NOMA with random IRS phase shift scheme and OMA-IRS scheme.

This paper considers stochastic convex optimization problems with two sets of constraints: (a) deterministic constraints on the domain of the optimization variable, which are difficult to project onto; and (b) deterministic or stochastic constraints that admit efficient projection. Problems of this form arise frequently in the context of semidefinite programming as well as when various NP-hard problems are solved approximately via semidefinite relaxation. Since projection onto the first set of constraints is difficult, it becomes necessary to explore projection-free algorithms, such as the stochastic Frank-Wolfe (FW) algorithm. On the other hand, the second set of constraints cannot be handled in the same way, and must be incorporated as an indicator function within the objective function, thereby complicating the application of FW methods. Similar problems have been studied before; however, they suffer from slow convergence rates. This work, equipped with momentum based gradient tracking technique, guarantees fast convergence rates on par with the best-known rates for problems without the second set of constraints. Zeroth-order variants of the proposed algorithms are also developed and again improve upon the state-of-the-art rate results. We further propose the novel trimmed FW variants that enjoy the same convergence rates as their classical counterparts, but are empirically shown to require significantly fewer calls to the linear minimization oracle speeding up the overall algorithm. The efficacy of the proposed algorithms is tested on relevant applications of sparse matrix estimation, clustering via semidefinite relaxation, and uniform sparsest cut problem.

Edge federated learning (FL) is an emerging paradigm that trains a global parametric model from distributed datasets based on wireless communications. This paper proposes a unit-modulus over-the-air computation (UMAirComp) framework to facilitate efficient edge federated learning, which simultaneously uploads local model parameters and updates global model parameters via analog beamforming. The proposed framework avoids sophisticated baseband signal processing, leading to low communication delays and implementation costs. Training loss bounds of UMAirComp FL systems are derived and two low-complexity large-scale optimization algorithms, termed penalty alternating minimization (PAM) and accelerated gradient projection (AGP), are proposed to minimize the nonconvex nonsmooth loss bound. Simulation results show that the proposed UMAirComp framework with PAM algorithm achieves a smaller mean square error of model parameters’ estimation, training loss, and test error compared with other benchmark schemes. Moreover, the proposed UMAirComp framework with AGP algorithm achieves satisfactory performance while reduces the computational complexity by orders of magnitude compared with existing optimization algorithms. Finally, we demonstrate the implementation of UMAirComp in a vehicle-to-everything autonomous driving simulation platform. It is found that autonomous driving tasks are more sensitive to model parameter errors than other tasks since the neural networks for autonomous driving contain sparser model parameters.

Community detection is one of the fundamental tasks in graph mining, which aims to identify group assignment of nodes in a complex network. Recently, network embedding techniques have demonstrated their strong power in advancing the community detection task and achieve better performance than various traditional methods. Despite their empirical success, most of the existing algorithms directly leverage the observed coarse network structure for community detection. Therefore, they often lead to suboptimal performance as the observed connections fail to capture the essential tie strength information among nodes precisely and account for the impact of noisy links. In this paper, an optimal network structure for community detection is introduced to characterize the fine-grained tie strength information between connected nodes and alleviate the adverse effects of noisy links. To obtain an expressive node representation for community detection, we learn the optimal network structure and network embeddings in a joint framework, instead of using a two-stage approach to derive the node embeddings from the coarse network topology. In particular, we formulate the joint framework as an optimization problem and an alternating optimization algorithm is exploited to solve the proposed optimization problem. Additionally, theoretical analyses regarding the computational complexity and the convergence of the optimization algorithm are also provided. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While many distributed optimization algorithms have been proposed for solving smooth or convex problems over the networks, few of them can handle non-convex and non-smooth problems. Based on a proximal primal-dual approach, this paper presents a new (stochastic) distributed algorithm with Nesterov momentum for accelerated optimization of non-convex and non-smooth problems. Theoretically, we show that the proposed algorithm can achieve an $\epsilon$ -stationary solution under a constant step size with $\mathcal {O}(1/\epsilon ^2)$ computation complexity and $\mathcal {O}(1/\epsilon)$ communication complexity when the epigraph of the non-smooth term is a polyhedral set. When compared to the existing gradient tracking based methods, the proposed algorithm has the same order of computation complexity but lower order of communication complexity. To the best of our knowledge, the presented result is the first stochastic algorithm with the $\mathcal {O}(1/\epsilon)$ communication complexity for non-convex and non-smooth problems. Numerical experiments for a distributed non-convex regression problem and a deep neural network based classification problem are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Temporal decomposition is a potential approach to relieve the computation cost of power system multi-interval scheduling problems, such as economic dispatch. In this form of decomposition, the considered scheduling horizon is partitioned into several subhorizons. A subproblem is formulated for each subhorizon, and a distributed optimization algorithm strategy is used to coordinate subproblems. The main existing challenge is decomposing the scheduling horizon to gain the most time saving from distributed computing. This paper serves as an extension to our previous work and presents a machine learning-aided temporal decomposition strategy to partition a scheduling horizon optimally. We have found that the load profile, known before solving economic dispatch, significantly affects the best number of subhorizons. We have used load profiles as inputs to a learner whose goal is to assign a temporal decomposition class to each load profile. Possible decomposition classes are divisors of the considered scheduling horizon. Thus, the proposed learning procedure is a multiclass classification. We have selected Extreme Gradient Boosting that is a tree-based classification learner. Simulation results using real-world load profiles show the promising performance of the proposed algorithm.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be flexibly deployed to offload cellular traffic or to provide video services for emergency scenarios without infrastructure. However, the inherent resource allocation and three-dimensional (3D) aerial trajectory design have not been formally studied. In this paper, we study the joint resource allocation and 3D aerial trajectory design for dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH)-enabled services in a UAV communication system, where a UAV is employed as a base station for multiuser video streaming. Various factors are taken into account, including video data rate, quality variation, communication outage, play interruption, etc. By adopting a video streaming utility model, two fundamental problems are formulated with different practical aims: the first problem maximizes the minimum utility for all users within a given time horizon such that max-min fairness can be provided, and the second problem minimizes the UAV operation time subject to the individual utility requirement for all users to prolong UAV endurance. To tackle the first non-convex problem, we decouple it into three sub-problems, and a three-stage iterative algorithm is proposed to obtain a suboptimal solution by solving the three sub-problems with successive convex approximation and alternating optimization techniques. An exponential search based algorithm is proposed for the second problem by utilizing the structure of the considered problem and a similar three-stage iterative algorithm. Extensive simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance, and the results show that our proposed designs significantly outperform baseline schemes. Furthermore, our results reveal new insights of UAV movement for video streaming and unveil the tradeoff between utility and quality variance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the training dataset size and the model size of machine learning increase rapidly, more computing resources are consumed to speedup the training process. However, the scalability and performance reproducibility of parallel machine learning training, which mainly uses stochastic optimization algorithms, are limited. In this paper, we demonstrate that the sample difference in the dataset plays a prominent role in the scalability of parallel machine learning algorithms. We propose to use statistical properties of dataset to measure sample differences. These properties include the variance of sample features, sample sparsity, sample diversity, and similarity in sampling sequences. We choose four types of parallel training algorithms as our research objects: (1) the asynchronous parallel SGD algorithm (Hogwild! algorithm), (2) the parallel model average SGD algorithm (minibatch SGD algorithm), (3) the decentralization optimization algorithm, and (4) the dual coordinate optimization (DADM algorithm). Our results show that the statistical properties of training datasets determine the scalability upper bound of these parallel training algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The energy detection technology is recommended in the licensed assisted access (LAA) scheme by 3GPP because of its simplicity and low cost. However, due to its inherent limitation, there may exist imperfect channel detection, which can lead to the decrease of the channel utilization efficiency and the deterioration of fairness. The imperfect detection can generally be represented by the detection probability and false alarm probability, which depend on detection time, signal to noise ration (SNR), sampling rate and energy threshold. However, among the parameters, only the energy threshold can be dominated by LAA small base stations (SBSs) in the LAA scheme. Therefore, the energy threshold should be dynamically adjusted in the changeable channel environment such that the detection accuracy can improved as high as possible. Consider the fact that the optimization theory cannot be used to optimize the energy threshold since the expressions of performance indexes about the energy threshold are extremely complex, a Q-learning based energy threshold optimization algorithm (QLET) is thus proposed in the paper, where LAA SBSs act as the agent, the energy threshold is defined as the agent action, the different combinations of fairness and throughput are defined as the agent states, and the fairness and the reward function are also redefined. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the proposed QLET algorithm, the information exchange mechanism, where the sending-confirmation mechanism and 1- persistent CSMA are used, is also proposed. Based on the proposed QL framework, the agent can learn the optimal energy threshold by repeatedly interacting with the environment, which enables the coexistence system to obtain the best coexistence performance. A large number of simulation results show that the proposed QLET is superior to the traditional fixed energy threshold scheme (FET) in terms of the fairness, WiFi collision probability and transmission delay, and that QLET is almost the same as FET in term of throughput.

This work presents an automated design methodology for time-mode proportional and integral (PI) controllers aimed for an on-chip switched-capacitor (SC) dc/dc converter system. The basis of this design is the use of evolutionary optimization algorithms to find the near-optimal set of sizings for the time-mode PI controller. It is motivated due to the difficulty faced when tuning the controller parameters at a circuit level, which arise as a result of the presence of modeling inaccuracies and the small region for the linearized model where it is defined. Moreover, this design proposes the required modifications for the original design presented for the inductor-based dc/dc converter. These modifications are necessary to operate the SC dc/dc converter in slow switching limit (SSL). The addition of a pulse-width-modulated (PWM)-to-pulse frequency-modulated (PFM) conversion block is presented and elaborated in this article. The controller is codesigned using the differential evolution algorithm for the circuit level implementation to mitigate the issues prior mentioned. The optimized controller is then tested in a simulation environment using TSMC $0.18~\mu \text{m}$ technology. The results of the optimized controller were superior to those of a conventional controller. The optimized system achieved an overall efficiency of 79.1%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We design an efficient robust multi-group multicast beamforming scheme for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Assuming only estimates of the channel covariance matrices are available at the base station with a bounded error, we formulate the robust quality-of-service (QoS) problem, which is to minimize the transmit power subject to the worst-case minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) guarantee. We directly solve the worst-case SINR problem and convert the robust QoS constraint into a number of non-convex constraints. Based on the recent convergence result of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for non-convex problems, we develop an ADMM-based fast algorithm to directly tackle the reformulated non-convex problem with a convergence guarantee. The algorithm contains two layers of ADMM procedures. We design the outer-layer ADMM to decompose the problem into three convex subproblems and solve them alternatingly. We further develop an inner-layer consensus-ADMM-based algorithm to efficiently solve one subproblem. By exploring each subproblem structure and developing the special optimization techniques, we obtain closed-form or semi-closed-form solutions to each subproblem. These results lead to a fast iterative algorithm, which is guaranteed to converge to a stationary point of the original robust QoS problem. Simulation shows that our proposed algorithm provides a favorable performance compared with existing alternative methods with magnitudes of computational complexity reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

FEATURE selection ,ALGORITHMS ,MATHEMATICAL optimization - Abstract
Feature selection aims at choosing a subset of features to represent the original feature space. In practice, however, it is hard to achieve desirable performance due to limited training data. To alleviate this issue, we propose a novel problem named feature selection with multi-source transfer where the privileged information from another data source or modality– only available during the training phase, is exploited to improve the performance of feature selection. To be exact, we propose a novel objective function that formulates the privileged information into feature selection. Moreover, an efficient optimization algorithm is introduced to solve the proposed problem of high dimension. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms several popular algorithms, especially when the training data size and the selected feature size are small.

A Dandelion algorithm (DA) inspired by the seed dispersal process of dandelions has been proposed as a newly intelligent optimization algorithm. For improving its exploration ability as well as reducing the probability of its falling into a local optimum, this work proposes to add a novel competition mechanism with historical information feedback to current DA. Specifically, the fitness value of each dandelion in the next generation, which is calculated by linear prediction, is compared with the current best dandelion, and the loser is replaced by a new offspring. Current DA generates new offsprings without considering historical information. This work improves its offspring generation process by exploiting historical information with an estimation-of-distribution algorithm. Three historical information models are designed. They are best, worst, and hybrid historical information feedback models. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms outperform DA and its variants, and the proposed algorithms are superior or competitive to nine participating algorithms benchmarked on 28 functions from CEC2013. Finally, the proposed algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness on four real-world problems, and the results indicate that the proposed algorithms have better performance than its peers.

This article is concerned with the design of a super-twisting algorithm (STA) based sliding mode controller for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed regulation system under the self-triggered mechanism. By using the strict Lyapunov function approach, it is shown that the tracking error converges to an ultimate domain within the finite-time sense under the proposed self-triggered STA. A feasible self-triggered strategy is designed for both cases with and without external perturbation. Moreover, a nonlinear optimization problem is formulated in terms of the tradeoff between the ultimate domain and the communication burden. The optimized STA gains are obtained by solving the above-formulated optimization problem via a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the applicability of the proposed self-triggered STA for PMSM is verified by simulation and experiment results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, a novelvertical wire-bonding interconnect structure is intelligently modeled and optimized with general artificial neural network (GRNN) and genetic algorithm (GA) for multilayered system in package. A compensation structure is constructed with a hybrid inductive and capacitive technique, while a capacitive stripline with series inductive short-end via is designed underneath the 50-Ω transmission line. The GRNN algorithm is employed to build the electromagnetic model databases during the procedure of GA optimization. In comparison with the conventional optimization algorithm, the output performances can be directly achieved with collaboratively combined methods, which can significantly reduce the calculation time. From the measurement results, the return loss is improved significantly while the parasitic inductive behavior of the bonding wire is eliminated with the presented design. Moreover, compared with the traditional compensation techniques, no additional area is occupied on the surface plane of the wire-bonding interconnection, which is more suitable for the high-integrated circuit system.

We study distributed composite optimization over networks: agents minimize a sum of smooth (strongly) convex functions–the agents’ sum-utility–plus a nonsmooth (extended-valued) convex one. We propose a general unified algorithmic framework for such a class of problems and provide a convergence analysis leveraging the theory of operator splitting. Distinguishing features of our scheme are: (i) When each of the agent’s functions is strongly convex, the algorithm converges at a linear rate, whose dependence on the agents’ functions and network topology is decoupled; (ii) When the objective function is convex (but not strongly convex), similar decoupling as in (i) is established for the coefficient of the proved sublinear rate. This also reveals the role of function heterogeneity on the convergence rate. (iii) The algorithm can adjust the ratio between the number of communications and computations to achieve a rate (in terms of computations) independent on the network connectivity; and (iv) A by-product of our analysis is a tuning recommendation for several existing (non-accelerated) distributed algorithms yielding provably faster (worst-case) convergence rate for the class of problems under consideration.

With the popularity of cameras and sensors, massive data are captured from various view angles or modalities, which provide abundant complementary information and also bring great challenges for traditional clustering methods. In this article, we propose a novel Adaptive K-Multiple-Means for multi-view clustering method (AKM3C). Unlike traditional multi-view K-means methods by grouping samples into $C$ clusters each with a cluster center in every view, the proposed AKM3C employs $M (M>C)$ sub-cluster centers in each view to reveal the sub-cluster structure in the multi-view data thus enhances the clustering performance. Additionally, to distinguish the importance of different views, instead of using empirical weights, AKM3C exploits the multi-view combination weights strategy to assign a weight to each view automatically and thus fuses the complementary information of different views properly to get an optimally shared bipartite graph, on which the Laplacian rank constraint is executed and the final clusters are obtained by directly partitioning. An efficient optimization algorithm proposed with complexity and convergence analysis is used to solve the proposed AKM3C method. The extensive experimental results on eight public datasets show that the proposed AKM3C performs better than state-of-the-art multi-view clustering methods.

This article focuses on the consensus control problem for a class of time-varying stochastic nonlinear time-delay multiagent systems (MASs) attacked by deception attacks. The stochastic deception attack is considered in the procedure of propagating measurement information among agents. To solve the consensus control problem for addressed MASs under stochastic deception attacks, a definition of quasi-consensus is put forward. The objective of our investigation is to devise a consensus protocol to drive all agents to stay within an allowable range despite the existence of stochasticity and external malicious attacks. With the help of recursive linear matrix inequality and stochastic analysis methods, sufficient conditions are acquired to guarantee that all agents are constrained in the desirable range. Subsequently, an optimization algorithm is presented, which is to seek the locally optimal allowable distance among agents. Finally, a simulation example is presented to demonstrate the availability of our proposed algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Optimization is an important research field, especially in engineering, physical sciences, and economics. The main purpose of optimization is to maximize the profit and minimize the cost of production as well as the loss of the system. Evolutionary computation algorithms, such as the genetic algorithm and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm have been successfully employed in solving various optimization problems. Owing to its application potential and promising performance in discovering the optimal solution, the PSO algorithm has been recognized as a powerful optimization technique and attracted an ever-increasing interest in the evolutionary computation community. In this article, a novel $N$ -state Markovian jumping PSO (NS-MJPSO) algorithm is presented where the velocity updating equation is adjusted based on the state evolution governed by a Markov chain. The performance of the proposed NS-MJPSO algorithm is evaluated via some widely used mathematical benchmark functions. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed NS-MJPSO algorithm outperforms some currently popular PSO algorithms on the widely used benchmark functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the parameters required for a high-performance drive of a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) operating in the flux-weakening region is the torque ripple reduction. In general, the torque ripple results from many reasons, such as the machine structure, oscillations of measured speed, etc. Hence, this article proposes an optimized strategy that works in conjunction with a variable switching frequency pulsewidth modulation algorithm to reduce the torque ripple peak. For the modulating algorithm, the updated frequency changes linearly with the desired torque ripple and its predicted maximum peak. For the proposed strategy, the reflection of proportional-integral (PI) parameters is observed at the torque ripple caused by the current ripples. Therefore, a robust method for adjusting PI parameters is proposed that relies on the improved fitness function that can minimize the regulators' error and maximize the drive stability bandwidth in the flux-weakening region. This objective function is optimized offline using a genetic algorithm optimization technique. Meanwhile, a third-order generalized integral flux observer is applied in this article, providing evidence of torque ripple reduction. For driving in the flux-weakening region, the reference magnitude of the duty cycles can produce the required d-axis reference current to prevent the saturation of current controllers. Finally, comprehensive simulations and experiments are presented to validate the proposed strategy effectively. In comparison with the conventional method, the proposed strategy can reduce the copper and switching losses simultaneously and control the current and speed in the flux-weakening region efficiently.

To enhance the backscatter-links with double fading effect in non-orthogonal multiple access assisted backscatter communication (NOMABC), a new reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) enhanced NOMABC (RIS-NOMABC) system is proposed. A joint optimization problem over power reflection coefficients at the backscatter devices (BDs) and phase shifts at the RIS is formulated. To solve this non-convex problem, a low complexity algorithm is proposed by invoking the alternative optimization, successive convex approximation and manifold optimization algorithms. Numerical results corroborate that the proposed RIS-NOMABC system outperforms the conventional NOMABC system without RIS, and demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

We investigate massive access in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) relying on multi-pair two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems using massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). We utilize the approximate message passing (AMP) algorithm for joint device activity detection and channel estimation. Furthermore, we analyze the achievable rates for multiple pairs of active devices and derive the closed-form expressions for both maximum-ratio combining/maximum-ratio transmission (MRC/MRT) and zero-forcing reception/zero-forcing transmission (ZFR/ZFT)-based beamforming schemes adopted at the relay. Moreover, to improve the achievable sum rates, we propose a low-complexity algorithm for optimizing the pilot length L. Our simulation results verify the accuracy of the closed-form expressions of the MRC/MRT and ZFR/ZFT scenarios. Finally, the proposed pilot-length optimization algorithm performs well in both the MRC/MRT and ZFR/ZFT scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
