The papers using fuzzy logic have generated continuous improvements for applications, and an example of this is the use of generalized type 2 fuzzy systems in real-world problems. The key idea of this paper is to present a generalized type 2 fuzzy system for augmenting differential evolution with dynamic parameter variation in order to enhance its performance and convergence. A generalized type 2 Sugeno controller was implemented with the aim of enhancing the trajectory of a robot, and an analysis of the execution time and the errors obtained by ITAE, IAE, ITSE, ISEV, RMSE, and MSE is presented. In addition, a comparison with different levels of disturbance applied to the controller was performed with the goal of demonstrating the efficiency of a type 2 fuzzy system. Full article

The multi-laminated controlled release system has been widely used in the modern pharmaceutical industry because of its simple structure and safety, which can control the drug release behavior by regulating its internal parameters. To achieve three desired drug release behaviors of constant rate, linear reduction, and nonlinearity, which can be controlled by the optimization of the controllable parameters in the controlled release system, such as initial concentration and diffusion coefficient, a new regularization cuckoo search algorithm based on the cuckoo search algorithm and Tikhonov regularization method is proposed. The numerical examples confirm the stability, effectiveness, and feasibility of the proposed method. The effect of the number of model layers on the optimization results is also analyzed.

In this article, we prove that the p,q condition holds, first by using the Fuchs index of the complex Kawahara equation, and then proving that all meromorphic solutions of complex Kawahara equations belong to the class W. Moreover, the complex method is employed to get all meromorphic solutions of complex Kawahara equation and all traveling wave exact solutions of Kawahara equation. Our results reveal that all rational solutions ur(x+νt) and simply periodic solutions us,1(x+νt) of Kawahara equation are solitary wave solutions, while simply periodic solutions us,2(x+νt) are not real-valued. Finally, computer simulations are given to demonstrate the main results of this paper. At the same time, we believe that this method is a very effective and powerful method of looking for exact solutions to the mathematical physics equations, and the search process is simpler than other methods.

A new method for solving differential equations is presented in this work. The solution of the differential equations is done by adapting an artificial neural network, RBF, to the function under study. The adaptation of the parameters of the network is done with a hybrid genetic algorithm. In addition, this text presents in detail the software developed for the above method in ANSI C++. The user can code the underlying differential equation either in C++ or in Fortran format. The method was applied to a wide range of test functions of different types and the results are presented and analyzed in detail. Full article

Pipeline corrosion prediction (PCP) is an important technology for pipeline maintenance and management. How to accurately predict pipeline corrosion is a challenging task. To address the drawback of the poor prediction accuracy of the grey model (GM(1,1)), this paper proposes a method named ETGM(1,1)-RABC. The proposed method consists of two parts. First, the exponentially transformed grey model (ETGM(1,1)) is an improvement of the GM(1,1), in which exponential transformation (ET) is used to preprocess the raw data. Next, dynamic coefficients, instead of background fixed coefficients, are optimized by the reformative artificial bee colony (RABC) algorithm, which is a variation of the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. Experiments are performed on actual pipe corrosion data, and four different methods are included in the comparative study, including GM(1,1), ETGM(1,1), and three ETGM(1,1)-ABC variants. The results show that the proposed method proves to be superior for the PCP in terms of Taylor diagram and absolute error. Full article
