摘要This work generalizes the subdiffusive Black-Scholes model by introducing the variable exponent in order to provide adequate descriptions for the option pricing,where the variable exponent may account for the variation of the memory property.In addition to standard nonlinear-to-linear transformation,we apply a further spatial-temporal transformation to convert the model to a more tractable form in order to circumvent the difficulties caused by the"non-positive,non-monotonic"variable-exponent memory kernel.An interesting phenomenon is that the spatial transformation not only eliminates the advection term but naturally turns the original noncoercive spatial operator into a coercive one due to the specific structure of the Black-Scholes model,which thus avoids imposing constraints on coefficients.Then we perform numerical analysis for both the semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes to support numerical simulation.Numerical experiments are carried out to substantiate the theoretical results.

摘要Continuous variable cross-section recycled extrusion(CVCE)is an advanced technique of severe plastic deformation.Ti–6Al–4V alloy was deformed with different processing parameters by CVCE,and then the microstructure characterization,refinement mechanism and deformation mechanism were investigated simultaneously.The results demonstrate that the average size of grain is refined from 14 to 2.78μm as Ti–6Al–4V alloy is deformed at 800℃ with a speed of 2 mm/s over 6 passes,and the microstructure is equiaxed and distributed homogeneously along the radial direction.Furthermore,in the process of CVCE,basal slip(0001)is transformed to prismatic slip(100)system and pyramidal slip(112)system,with a reduction in low angle grain boundaries from 69.6%to 61.2%.Moreover,the grain refinement mechanism of CVCE is dislocation multiplication and cross-slip migration within the grain at the initial stage of deformation,which results in the formation of substructures and micro-shear bands as well as grain refinement.In addition,the nucleation and growth of dynamic recrystallization grains are beneficial to eliminating the dislocations,subgrain boundaries and other defects in the matrix,which finally results in the grains refinement.

摘要This paper proposes the analytical solutions involving damping effects for the dynamic response of a simply supported thin-walled curved beam under uniformly variable two-axle moving loads in four directions:vertical,torsional,radial,and axial.The warping stiffness and damping of the thin-walled beam were comprehensively considered in the vibration control equations.Unlike traditional one-axle load cases,this study employs a more realistic two-axle vehicle load model.Based on the modal superposition method,the control vibration equations for thin-walled curved beams in-plane and out-ofplane under variable speed moving loads were solved using a combination of the Fourier sine transform method,the Galerkin method,and the Laplace transform method.Analytical solutions for the dynamic responses were derived in integral form,facilitating direct numerical computation.The proposed computational method’s effectiveness and accuracy were validated against published research.Subsequently,the dynamic responses of the thin-walled curved beam under one-axle and two-axle moving load models were compared,and the effects of initial load velocity,load acceleration,and center angle of the curved beam on the dynamic responses were investigated through extensive parameter research.The research results provide valuable insights into the structural behavior of thin-walled curved beams under the moving loading with variable speed.

摘要Matrix-variable triconvex optimization is a significant generalization of vector-variable triconvex or biconvex optimization and has been found to have popular applications.To reduce computation time and storage requirements,this paper presents a matrix-form iterative method for quickly solving matrix-variable constrained triconvex optimization problems.The proposed method is based on a matrix-form alternating projection iteration scheme in the form of matrix state spaces,where an efficient line search strategy is adopted by exploiting the optimality conditions of the problem for a larger step length.Compared with the existing vector-form alternating projection gradient method,the proposed method reduces storage requirements and computational cost,and thus is more computationally efficient.Each sequence generated by the proposed method is guaranteed to be globally convergent to a partial optimum under mild conditions.Finally,the proposed method is effectively applied to blind image deblurring problems.Computed results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to related iterative algorithms in terms of computation time and solution quality.
摘要Purpose:While the imperative of enterprise digital transformation(EDT)has been widely acknowledged,a systematic understanding of its intricate network of antecedents and consequences remains fragmented.This study proposes a novel knowledge representation framework that leverages large language models(LLMs)to construct a variable relational network(VRN),offering a panoramic,micro-level perspective on EDT.Design/methodology/approach:We extract five types of variable relationships from a vast corpus of academic publications on EDT to generate the VRN.Subsequently,we apply network topology analysis to uncover the temporal and regional characteristics of the VRN.Its hierarchical structure is then analyzed through K-shell decomposition.Findings:Our results show that,over the past two decades,the scale of the VRN has experienced rapid growth,driven collectively by multi-layered external factors such as the rapid advancement of digital technologies,and its internal connections have become increasingly tighter.Regional comparisons of the VRN reveal that different economies,shaped by institutional theories,exhibit distinct transformation paradigms while striving toward common goals.K-shell analysis uncovers a clear hierarchical structure,distinguishing peripheral,intermediate,and core variables,with these layers corresponding to varying degrees of strategic significance and transformation maturity.Research limitations:The study’s limitations primarily concern the accuracy of the VRN,which depends on the LLM’s extraction performance and its potential for hallucinations,which may introduce noise into the network topology.Practical implications:The VRN and its network topology structure serve as a diagnostic tool for strategic decisionmaking,enterprises and policymakers can also use these insights to design targeted support programs.Originality/value:This study contributes a data-driven,LLM-assisted framework for mapping the evolving and multidimensional landscape of enterprise digital transformation,thereby validating and extending the theoretical boundaries of EDT.

摘要Balancing heat transfer performance with material cost and refrigerant charge remains a key challenge in split air conditioning systems.To address this issue,the present study proposes a finned-tube heat exchanger with a variable-diameter configuration,combining 5.2 mm and 7.3 mm tubes for use with R290 refrigerant.Three hybrid arrangements are examined against a conventional baseline with uniform 7.3 mm tubes,differing in the number and spacing of the 5.2 mm tubes integrated within the heat exchanger layout,thereby enabling targeted structural and thermal optimization of the indoor unit.An integrated methodology,based on a theoretical iterative algorithm and supported by numerical simulations and experimental validation,is employed to characterize heat transfer and fluid flow under rated cooling conditions.The results show that the proposed configurations achieve substantial reductions in refrigerant charge,by up to 11.5%,and copper usage,by up to 7.78%,while simultaneously enhancing the system coefficient of performance by as much as 3.75%compared to the reference design.Configurations with a higher proportion and tighter spacing of 5.2 mm tubes yield the greatest improvement in energy efficiency,whereas those maximizing the substitution of 7.3 mm tubes with 5.2 mm tubes achieve the most pronounced reductions in material usage and refrigerant charge.Overall,the findings demonstrate that variable-diameter tube heat exchangers provide an effective strategy for optimizing the trade-off between performance,cost,and environmental impact in R290-based split air conditioning systems.

摘要Marine forecasting is critical for navigation safety and disaster prevention.However,traditional ocean numerical forecasting models are often limited by substantial errors and inadequate capture of temporal-spatial features.To address the limitations,the paper proposes a TimeXer-based numerical forecast correction model optimized by an exogenous-variable attention mechanism.The model treats target forecast values as internal variables,and incorporates historical temporal-spatial data and seven-day numerical forecast results from traditional models as external variables based on the embedding strategy of TimeXer.Using a self-attention structure,the model captures correlations between exogenous variables and target sequences,explores intrinsic multi-dimensional relationships,and subsequently corrects endogenous variables with the mined exogenous features.The model’s performance is evaluated using metrics including MSE(Mean Squared Error),MAE(Mean Absolute Error),RMSE(Root Mean Square Error),MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error),MSPE(Mean Square Percentage Error),and computational time,with TimeXer and PatchTST models serving as benchmarks.Experiment results show that the proposed model achieves lower errors and higher correction accuracy for both one-day and seven-day forecasts.

摘要In this paper,we study the nonlinear Riemann boundary value problem with square roots that is represented by a Cauchy-type integral with kernel density in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.We discuss the odd-order zero-points distribution of the solutions and separate the single valued analytic branch of the solutions with square roots,then convert the problem to a Riemann boundary value problem in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces and discuss the singularity of solutions at individual zeros belonging to curve.We consider two types of cases those where the coefficient is Hölder and those where it is piecewise Hölder.Then we solve the Hilbert boundary value problem with square roots in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.By discussing the distribution of the odd-order zero-points for solutions and the method of symmetric extension,we convert the Hilbert problem to a Riemann boundary value problem.The equivalence of the transformation is discussed.Finally,we get the solvable conditions and the direct expressions of the solutions in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.

摘要In electrical discharge machining of titanium alloys,the1400-1600℃melting points of titanium alloysr equire the input of sufficient discharge energy to melt and vaporize the titanium alloy.However,because of low thermo-c onduction,the input energy can easily raise the temperature of the gap liquid to a high enough level.Usually,thee levated temperature of the gap liquid resulted in a reduction of the gap breakdown strength,so that the liquid dielectricd eionization after pulse discharging tends to be incomplete and causes occurrences of large arcing pulses,burning thew orkpiece surface and causing electrode wear.This contradiction hinders the machining of titanium alloy by Electrical Discharge Machining(EDM).To solve this issue,this study thoroughly analyzed the factors influencing gap liquidb reakdown strength during EDM and identified two key elements:gap distance and amount of chips left in gap.Based ont his analysis,a solution was proposed,which involved the development of a multiple variable adaptive control system.T his system adjusted the gap servo voltage in proportion to the gap distance to control the discharge types of pulses,r egulated the electrode discharge time to the quantity of chips left in the gap in an electrode discharge time.By dynamically adjusting these two variables,the system maintained an optimal liquid breakdown strength,facilitatinge ffective machining while preventing arcing in machining.Experimental validation confirmed that this multiple variable control system significantly enhanced the EDM process for titanium alloys,even under challenging conditions,d emonstrating its practical utility.

摘要In practical industrial environments,the data distribution of rotating machinery drifts as operating conditions vary,causing a marked deterioration in the performance of traditional fault diagnosis methods that rely on the assumption of identical distributions.Incremental learning provides a promising pathway to address dynamic operating conditions.However,existing approaches typically depend on replaying historical data and still struggle to strike a balance between stability and plasticity.To overcome these limitations,this paper proposes a dual-component elastic adaptive network(DCEAN)designed for incremental fault diagnosis of rotating machinery under varying working conditions.The proposed framework operates without access to previous data and simultaneously achieves knowledge retention and feature correction.Specifically,a sensitive parameter constraint(SPC)mechanism is introduced to curb excessive updates to parameters identified as critical,thereby stabilizing previously learned knowledge.In parallel,a feature drift self-calibration(FDSC)mechanism is employed to estimate and compensate for distribution shifts induced by condition variations,promoting consistency of feature representations across domains.Through the coordinated action of these two mechanisms,DCEAN establishes an incremental learning paradigm that harmonizes stability with adaptability.Two case studies demonstrate that the proposed method delivers superior diagnostic performance in variable operating environments,underscoring its robustness and effectiveness.

摘要Weather forecasting,which involves predicting a few critical atmospheric variables,is of significant importance to both scientific research and societal applications.Recently,deep learning methods have been introduced into this field due to their substantially reduced inference time and promising forecast accuracy.However,to comprehensively simulate atmospheric state evolution and improve the prediction accuracy of critical variables,most current approaches incorporate hundreds of auxiliary variables and iteratively predict all physical variables regardless of their relevance to critical variables,significantly increasing task complexity.Moreover,iterative forecasting of physical variables is susceptible to disturbances such as noise and missing values.To address these limitations,we propose a forecasting model to iteratively predict only the critical-variables-relevant atmospheric latent features rather than all physical variables,which achieves faster convergence and higher accuracy.These latent features are encoded and extracted from numerous variables,and they are guided by the prediction loss function to be relevant to critical atmospheric variables.Additionally,iteratively predicting latent features minimizes the impact of noise and missing values,as these are filtered out by the encoder,leading to more accurate and stable predictions.To balance performance and efficiency,we determine the optimal dimensionality of the latent features through theoretical analysis and ablation studies.Comprehensive experimental results on two ERA5 sub-datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework in improving forecasting accuracy.

摘要Global dependence on fossil fuels has led to escalating atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions.The consecutive greenhouse effect poses a serious threat to the human habitat,rendering carbon dioxide abatement a key focus in contemporary research.Hydrate-based CO2 sequestration offers a promising pathway for carbon capture and storage,though its efficiency is strongly influenced by pressure,salinity,and sediment properties.In this study,the kinetic characteristics and occurrence states of CO2 hydrates in porous media were systematically investigated under varying pressures(3.0-3.6 MPa),NaCl concentrations(0-3.5%),and sediment types(quartz sand vs kaolinite).Results reveal a non-linear pressure dependence—gas storage capacity increases by 16.3%as pressure rises from 3.0 MPa to 3.3 MPa,but diminishes to 9.4%with further increase to 3.6 MPa.NaCl exhibits dual inhibitory effects:Thermodynamically shifting the phase equilibrium leftward in the P-T domain and kinetically suppressing growth,with 3.5%NaCl systems exhibiting persistently slow hydrate formation.Sediment type also plays a critical role,as kaolinite's low-permeability clay structure substantially impedes hydrate formation compared to quartz sand while altering hydrate distribution patterns.Understanding the interplay between pressure-driven efficiency gains and inhibitor-mediated stability control across diverse geological environments is essential for optimizing hydrate-based CO2 storage strategies.

摘要In this work,we investigate numerical approximation of the incompressible Cahn-Hilliard-Magnetohydrodynamics(CHMHD)system.Firstly a semi-discrete variabletime-step BDF2 numerical scheme is proposed based on two scalar auxiliary variables,one is used for linearizing the phase field function and the other is used for dealing with the nonlinear terms.This approach effectively reduces the computational complexity.Secondly,mass conservation,and stability of the scheme are proved.Furthermore,we break through the traditional fixed time-step approach in the temporal direction by adopting a variable-time-step method and provide error estimates for the second-order scheme through rigorous analysis.Finally,some results of numerical simulations are presented to verify the previous analysis.Additionally,an adaptive time step strategy is devised to optimize computational efficiency while ensuring accuracy.
