For regional or even global geophysical problems, the curvature of the geophysical model cannot be approximated as a plane, and its curvature must be considered. Tesseroids can fit the curvature, but their shapes vary from almost rectangular at the equator to almost triangular at the poles, i.e., degradation phenomena. Unlike other spherical discrete grids (e.g., square, triangular, and rhombic grids) that can fit the curvature, the Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) grid can not only fit the curvature but also effectively avoid degradation phenomena at the poles. In addition, since it has only edge-adjacent grids, DGGS grids have consistent adjacency and excellent angular resolution. Hence, DGGS grids are the best choice for discretizing the sphere into cells with an approximate shape and continuous scale. Compared with the tesseroid, which has no analytical solution but has a well-defined integral limit, the DGGS cell (prisms obtained from DGGS grids) has neither an analytical solution nor a fixed integral limit. Therefore, based on the isoparametric transformation, the non-regular DGGS cell in the system coordinate system is transformed into the regular hexagonal prism in the local coordinate system, and the DGGS-based forwarding algorithm of the gravitational field is realized in the spherical coordinate system. Different coordinate systems have differences in the integral kernels of gravity fields. In the current literature, the forward modeling research of polyhedrons (the DGGS cell, which is a polyhedral cell) is mostly concentrated in the Cartesian coordinate system. Therefore, the reliability of the DGGS-based forwarding algorithm is verified using the tetrahedron-based forwarding algorithm and the tesseroid-based forwarding algorithm with tiny tesseroids. From the numerical results, it can be concluded that if the distance from observations to sources is too small, the corresponding gravity field forwarding results may also have ambiguous values. Therefore, the minimum distance is not recommended for practical applications. Full article

This paper is dedicated to the development of a novel class of quasi-Newton techniques tailored to address computational challenges posed by memory constraints. Such methodologies are commonly referred to as “limited” memory methods. The method proposed herein showcases adaptability by introducing a customizable memory parameter governing the retention of historical data in constructing the Hessian estimate matrix at each iterative stage. The search directions generated through this novel approach are derived from a modified version closely resembling the full memory multi-step BFGS update, incorporating limited memory computation for a singular term to approximate matrix–vector multiplication. Results from numerical experiments, exploring various parameter configurations, substantiate the enhanced efficiency of the proposed algorithm within the realm of limited memory quasi-Newton methodologies category.

In this work, we examine a predator–prey model that considers the implicit marine reserve in prey species and a linear function of critical biomass level. The model’s basic properties (existence, uniqueness, positivity, boundedness, and permanence) and equilibrium points are determined. We obtain three equilibrium points: the trivial equilibrium point, the equilibrium point where there is no harvest, and the co-existing equilibrium point. The local and global stability of each equilibrium point of the model is explored. Moreover, the interior equilibrium point is always globally asymptotically stable, and the system experiences no limit cycles around the interior equilibrium point. Numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the theoretical results obtained. Finally, we find overlapping conditions regarding the dynamics between the model we developed and a model that considers a constant critical biomass level for certain parameters. Full article

Harmonic estimation is essential for mitigating or suppressing harmonic distortions in power systems. The most important idea is that spectrum analysis, waveform estimation, harmonic source classification, source location, the determination of harmonic source contributions, data clustering, and filter-based harmonic elimination capacity are also considered. The feature extraction method is a fundamental component of the optimization that improves the effectiveness of the Harmonic Mitigation method. In this study, techniques to extract fundamental frequencies and harmonics in the frequency domain, the time domain, and the spatial domain include 67 literature reviews and an overall assessment. The combinations of signal processing with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are also reviewed and evaluated in this study. The benefit of the feature extraction methods is that the analysis extracts the powerful basic information of the feedback signals from the sensors with the most redundancy, ensuring the highest efficiency for the next sampling process of algorithms. This study provides an overview of the fundamental frequency and harmonic extraction methods of recent years, an analysis, and a presentation of their advantages and limitations. Full article
