Efficient Recurrent Multi-Layer Neural Network for Multi-Scale Noise and Activity Drift Mitigation in Wideband Cognitive Radio Networks
by Sunil Jatti and Anshul Tyagi
Algorithms 2026, 19(3), 172; https://doi.org/10.3390/a19030172 - 25 Feb 2026
Abstract
Wideband spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is challenging due to sparse primary user (PU) activity and noise clustering, which obscure signals and generate false alarms.

Wideband spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) is challenging due to sparse primary user (PU) activity and noise clustering, which obscure signals and generate false alarms. Hence, a novel “Graph Discrete Wavelet Bayesian Kernel Boosted Decision Self-Attention Clustering Neural Network (GDWB-KBSC-NN)” is proposed. When sparse PU activity is masked by irregular interference bursts, traditional sensing algorithms misclassify weak transmissions as noise, leading to low detection reliability. To resolve this, the first hidden layer employs Discrete Wavelet Sparse Bayesian Kernel Analysis (DW-SBK), integrating Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT), Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL), and Kernel PCA. This restores the true sparse pattern of the spectrum, separates interference from actual PU signals, and enhances detection of weak channels. Additionally, PU signals are fragmented due to cross-scale activity drift, where dynamic bandwidth switching and variable burst durations disrupt temporal continuity. Therefore, the second layer incorporates Gradient Boosted Multi-Head Fuzzy Clustering (GB-MHFC), where Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT) model nonlinear spectral–temporal patterns, Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) captures long- and short-range temporal dependencies, and Fuzzy C-Means Clustering (FCM) groups feature representations into stable PU activity modes, thereby reducing misclassifications and enhancing robustness under highly dynamic CRN conditions. The proposed method demonstrates superior performance with a maximum detection probability of 0.98, classification accuracy of 98%, lowest sensing error of 5.412%, and the fastest sensing time of 3.65 s.

To address the heavy reliance on experiential knowledge, fragmented multi-source information, and limited intelligence in decision-making for aircraft skin spraying processes, this paper proposes a knowledge reasoning method based on a knowledge graph. The authors construct a knowledge graph that integrates multi-structure ontology and physical rule constraints. This graph systematically organizes and manages multi-dimensional knowledge, including painting object attributes, paint performance indicators, and spraying parameters. On this basis, a three-stage reasoning mechanism with multi-granularity semantic understanding, knowledge enhancement, feature fusion, and multi-constraint intelligent matching (MKM) is designed. The model can perform semantic analysis of the user’s fuzzy query, implicit knowledge completion, and dynamic subgraph matching, so as to give the aircraft skin spraying process plan that meets the constraints of safety, compatibility, and feasibility. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional case-based reasoning method, graph convolutional network method, and knowledge graph embedding method in the key evaluation indices of Hit@1, Hit@3, and MRR in the knowledge reasoning task of aircraft skin spraying process. It also has good robustness and promotion value when data are scarce and parameters are uncertain. This study provides a feasible method of intelligent management and dynamic decision-making in terms of aircraft skin spraying process knowledge, and may be applied to other manufacturing fields.

Aiming at the challenges of complex spatial-temporal correlation and strong nonlinearity in the power prediction of large-scale wind farm clusters, this study proposes a short-term wind power prediction method that combines a dynamic graph structure and a Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN) enhanced neural network. Firstly, a spectral embedding fuzzy C-means (FCM) cluster partition method combining geographic location and numerical weather prediction (NWP) is proposed to solve the problem of insufficient spatio-temporal representation ability of traditional methods. Secondly, a dynamic directed graph construction mechanism based on a stacked wind direction matrix and wind speed mutual information is designed to describe the directional correlation between stations with the evolution of meteorological conditions. Finally, a prediction model of dynamic graph convolution and Transformer based on KAN enhancement (DGTK-Net) is constructed to improve the fitting ability of complex nonlinear relationships. Based on the cluster data of 31 wind farms in Gansu Province of China and the cluster data of 70 wind farms in Inner Mongolia, a case study is carried out. The results show that the proposed model is significantly better than the comparison methods in terms of key evaluation indicators, and the root mean square error is reduced by about 1.16% on average. This method provides a prediction tool that can adapt to time and space changes for engineering practice, which is helpful to improve the wind power consumption capacity and operation economy of the power grid.

Knowledge graphs (KGs) offer a structured and collaborative approach to integrating diverse knowledge from various domains. However, constructing knowledge graphs typically requires significant manual effort and heavily relies on pretrained models, limiting their adaptability to specific sub-domains. This paper proposes an innovative, efficient, and locally deployable knowledge graph construction framework that leverages low-rank adaptation (LoRA) to fine-tune large language models (LLMs) in order to reduce noise. By integrating iterative optimization, consistency-guided filtering, and prompt-based extraction, the proposed method achieves a balance between precision and coverage, enabling the robust extraction of standardized subject–predicate–object triples from raw long texts. This makes it highly effective for knowledge graph construction and downstream reasoning tasks. We applied the parameter-efficient open-source model Qwen3-14B, and experimental results on the SciERC dataset show that, under strict matching (i.e., ensuring the exact matching of all components), our method achieved an F1 score of 0.358, outperforming the baseline model’s F1 score of 0.349. Under fuzzy matching (allowing some parts of the triples to be unmatched), the F1 score reached 0.447, outperforming the baseline model’s F1 score of 0.392, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. Ablation studies validate the robustness and generalization potential of our method, highlighting the contribution of each component to the overall performance. Full article

The rapid expansion and interdisciplinary nature of Physical Internet (PI) research have resulted in fragmented knowledge, limiting the ability of stakeholders to identify emerging trends, actionable insights and genuine research gaps. This study introduces a novel knowledge management approach that uses Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) to systematically organize and integrate PI-related literature. A comprehensive knowledge graph was constructed by extracting and semantically modeling entities and relationships from 2835 academic papers, conference proceedings and international roadmaps. The developed system incorporates fuzzy semantic search and multiple retrieval strategies, including local, global and hybrid approaches, enabling nuanced, context-aware access to information. Stakeholder-specific prompts, tailored to the needs of industry, government and academia, demonstrate how GraphRAG can support the discovery of business model innovations, policy design and underexplored research areas. A comparative evaluation using cosine similarity and BERTScore confirms that graph-based strategies outperform standard LLM retrieval in providing relevant and comprehensive answers while also revealing connections that would be missed in manual reviews. The results demonstrate that the proposed GraphRAG model is a scalable and extensible framework for addressing knowledge gaps and promoting collaboration in PI research synthesis for sustainable logistics. The model also shows promise for application in other complex domains. Full article

This paper introduces a similarity index aimed at modeling psychological well-being through a set-theoretic formalization of self–ideal alignment. Inspired by Tversky’s feature-based model of similarity, the proposed index quantifies the degree of overlap and divergence between the current self-perception and the ideal self, each represented as a vector of signed attributes. The formulation extends traditional approaches in Personal Construct Psychology by incorporating directional and magnitude-based comparisons across constructs, and its mathematical properties can be expressed within a fuzzy similarity space that ensures boundedness and internal coherence. Unlike standard correlational methods commonly used in psychological assessment, this model provides an alternative framework that allows for asymmetric weighting of discrepancies and non-linear representations of similarity. Developed within the WimpGrid formalism—a graph-theoretical extension of constructivist assessment—the index offers potential applications in clinical modeling, idiographic measurement, and the mathematical analysis of dynamic self-concept systems. We discuss its relevance as a generalizable tool for quantitative psychology, and its potential for integration into computational models of personality and self-organization. Full article

In this research article, we propose a fuzzy fractional-order SEIRiUiHR model to describe the transmission dynamics of COVID-19, comprising susceptible, exposed, infected, reported, unreported, hospitalized, and recovered compartments. The uncertainty in initial conditions is represented using fuzzy numbers, and the fuzzy Laplace transform combined with the Adomian decomposition method is employed to solve nonlinear differential equations and also to derive approximate analytical series of solutions. In addition to fuzzy lower and upper bound solutions, a model is introduced to provide a representative trajectory under uncertainty. A key feature of the proposed model is its inherent symmetry in compartmental transitions and structural formulation, which show the difference in reported and unreported cases. Numerical experiments are conducted to compare fuzzy and normal (non-fuzzy) solutions, supported by 3D visualizations. The results reveal the influence of fractional-order and fuzzy parameters on epidemic progression, demonstrating the model’s capability to capture realistic variability and to provide a flexible framework for analyzing infectious disease dynamics.

In this paper, we consider the family of parameterized Mandelbrot-like sets generated as any point cC{0} of the complex plane belongs to any member of this family for a real parameter t1, provided that its corresponding orbit of 0 does not escape to infinity under iteration fcn0=fcn102+logct; otherwise, it is not a member of this set. This classically means there is only a binary membership possibility for all points. Here, we call this type of fractal set a Mandelblog set, and then we introduce a membership function that assigns a degree to each c to be an element of a fuzzy Mandelblog set under the iterations, even if the orbits of the points are not limited. Moreover, we provide numerical examples and gray-scale graphics that illustrate the membership degrees of the points of the fuzzy Mandelblog sets under the effects of iteration parameters. This approach enables the formation of graphs for these fuzzy fractal sets by representing points that belong to the set as white pixels, points that do not belong as black pixels, and other points, based on their membership degrees, as gray-toned pixels. Furthermore, the membership function facilitates the direct proofs of the symmetry criteria for these fractal sets. Full article

This paper introduces an AI-assisted human-centered and minimalist software stack and data model to structure and store early modern serial sources related to early-modern Catholic Church administration. The Vatican Archive preserves vast quantities of documents recording its administrative history. To date, the sheer volume and technical character of these Latin manuscripts have made systematic study appear nearly impossible. The multinational project GRACEFUL17 unfolds seventeenth-century Church governance on a large scale with the help of AI. It leverages simple but efficient NLP (NER, span categorizer, fuzzy searches) and classifier (gradient boost) techniques that run fast, reliably, and reproducibly to allow for multi-user offline work environments, as well as quick but controlled data modelling in a knowledge graph. By documenting this workflow, the paper enhances replicability and provides a rationale for specific design decisions beyond technical documentation. This paper advocates the use of “weak AI” on several grounds. Functionally, non-LLM pipelines offer stricter controllability and avoid many of the semantic biases introduced by large language models. They also require fewer training overheads and run locally with ease. Methodologically, the combination of simple AI models and symbolic reasoning underscores the indispensable role of human expertise: only experts can provide the ground truth necessary for models to reproduce and formalize complex semantic concepts and phenomena, rather than outsourcing this interpretive work to foundation models.

Current power systems are facing noticeable power quality (PQ) performance deterioration, which has been attributed to nonlinear loads, distributed generation, and extensive renewable energy infiltration (REI). These conditions cause voltage sags, harmonic distortion, flicker, and disadvantageous power factors. The traditional PI/PID-based scheme of control, when applied to Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTSs), demonstrates low adaptability and low anticipatory functions, which are required to operate a grid in real-time and dynamic conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) opens proactive, reactive, or adaptive and self-optimizing control schemes, which reformulate FACTS to thoughtful, data-intensive power-system objects. This literature review systematically studies the convergence of AI and FACTS technology, with an emphasis on how AI can improve voltage stability, harmonic control, flicker control, and reactive power control in the grid formation of various types of grids. A new classification is proposed for the identification of AI methodologies, including deep learning, reinforcement learning, fuzzy logic, and graph neural networks, according to specific FQ goals and FACTS device categories. This study quantitatively compares AI-enhanced and traditional controllers and uses key performance indicators such as response time, total harmonic distortion (THD), precision of voltage regulation, and reactive power compensation effectiveness. In addition, the analysis discusses the main implementation obstacles, such as data shortages, computational time, readability, and regulatory limitations, and suggests mitigation measures for these issues. The conclusion outlines a clear future research direction towards physics-informed neural networks, federated learning, which facilitates decentralized control, digital twins, which facilitate real-time validation, and multi-agent reinforcement learning, which facilitates coordinated operation. Through the current research synthesis, this study provides researchers, engineers, and system planners with actionable information to create a next-generation AI-FACTS framework that can support resilient and high-quality power delivery.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) play a pivotal role in addressing traffic congestion, inefficiency, and safety concerns. Emergency lane control on highways is a critical ITS component, yet existing strategies often lack flexibility, theoretical rigor, and the ability to handle dynamic spatiotemporal interactions under uncertain data. To address these limitations, this paper introduces Koopman Graph Mamba (KGM), an innovative framework integrating the Koopman operator with a graph-based state space model for dynamic emergency lane control. KGM leverages multimodal traffic data to predict spatiotemporal patterns, facilitating real-time decisions. An interpretable decision module based on fuzzy neural networks ensures context-sensitive decisions. Evaluated on a real-world dataset from the Changshen Expressway (Nanjing-Changzhou section) and public datasets including NGSIM, PeMS04, and PeMS08, KGM demonstrates superior performance with linear computational complexity, underscoring its potential for large-scale, real-time applications.

Fuzzy edge coloring has proven to be a powerful tool for modeling and optimizing complex network systems, owing to its ability to effectively represent and manage the uncertainty in relational strengths and conflicts. It focuses on defining the fuzzy edge chromatic number, optimizing its computation, and exploring practical applications. For join graphs derived from fuzzy graphs, we propose an efficient fuzzy edge coloring algorithm and analyze the associated properties. Building on this, fuzzy edge coloring offers effective strategies for software promotion and traffic signal optimization. This work addresses fundamental theoretical challenges related to algorithm design, complexity analysis, and structural properties in fuzzy graph edge coloring, while also demonstrating its practical utility in complex scenarios such as software promotion and traffic signal optimization.

In intuitionistic fuzzy 2-normed spaces, there are numerous symmetries in the topological structures and mapping theorems. In this work, we present the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy 2-normed space(IF2NS) and demonstrate its structural properties using illustrative examples. This approach unifies and broadens the scope of both classical 2-normed spaces and intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces when specific conditions are met. We introduce the idea of fuzzy open balls and explore the convergence of sequences with respect to the topology derived from the intuitionistic fuzzy 2-norm. In addition, we define left and right N-Cauchy sequences relative to the topologies τN and τN1 and analyze their convergence characteristics. Special attention is given to the inherent symmetry of the 2-norm, where the magnitude of a pair of vectors remains invariant under exchange of arguments, and to the balanced interaction between membership and non-membership functions in the intuitionistic fuzzy setting. This intrinsic symmetry is further reflected in the proofs of the open mapping and closed graph theorems, which naturally preserve the symmetric structure of the underlying space The paper culminates with the formulation and proof of the open mapping theorem that can be considered for its symmetric properties and the closed graph theorem in the context of IF2NS, thereby generalizing essential theorems of functional analysis to this fuzzy setting.

Surface water resources are under growing pressure from urbanization, industrial activity, and agriculture, making effective monitoring essential for safeguarding ecological integrity and human use. Conventional monitoring methods, which rely on manual sampling and rigid Water Quality Index (WQI) categories, often provide delayed feedback and oversimplify conditions near classification thresholds, limiting their usefulness for timely management. To overcome these shortcomings, we have developed an interactive fuzzy logic-based water quality monitoring interface or dashboard that integrates the WQI developed by Malaysia’s Department of Environment with the National Water Quality Standards (NWQS) Class I–V framework. The interface combines conventional WQI computation with advanced visualization tools such as dynamic gauges, parameter tables, fuzzy membership graphs, scatter plots, heatmaps, and bar charts. Then, triangular membership functions map six key parameters to NWQS classes, providing smoother and more nuanced interpretation compared to rigid thresholds. In addition to that, the dashboard enables clearer communication of trends, supports timely decision-making, and demonstrates adaptability for broader applications since it is implemented on the Replit platform. Finally, evaluation results show that the fuzzy interface improves interpretability by resolving ambiguities in over 15% of cases near class boundaries and facilitates faster assessment of pollution trends compared to conventional reporting. Thus, these contributions highlight the necessity and value of the research on advancing Malaysia’s national water quality monitoring and providing a scalable framework for international contexts.

The integrity parameter in vulnerability refers to a set of removed vertices and the maximum number of connected components that remain functional. A bipolar fuzzy graph (BFG) assigns membership values to both positive and negative attributes. A new parameter, integrity, is defined and discussed using an example of a BFG. The integrity value of a special type of graph is determined, and the node strength sequence (NSS) for BFG is introduced. Specific NSS values are used to discuss the integrity values of paths and cycles. The integrity of the union, join, and Cartesian product of two BFGs is presented. This parameter is then applied to a road network with both positive and negative attributes, and the findings are discussed with a conclusion. Full article
