Abstract:

Cultural heritage represents the historical and cultural achievements of a nation, playing a vital role in studying human civilization and preserving national languages and scripts. This study utilizes virtual simulation technology to design a virtual pavilion for Chinese language and writing, employing image and text feature extraction algorithms for feature fusion and 3D modeling. The effectiveness of Chinese character extraction is validated through feature point matching, while the virtual exhibition’s impact is assessed via user experience scores. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves accurate extraction with no misrecognition. User interest rankings highlight text images as the most influential factor, followed by visual imagery, pavilion experience, scene art, and language culture. Analysis of user feedback shows an average experience score exceeding 60 points, confirming the pavilion’s effectiveness in preserving and promoting Chinese language and writing culture.

Abstract:

Let \(G\) and \(H\) be graphs and \(1\) be a positive number. An \(H\)-irregular labeling of \(G\) is an assignment of integers from \(1\) up to \(k\) to either vertices, edges, or both in \(G\) such that each sum of labels in a subgraph isomorphic to \(H\) are pairwise distinct. Moreover, a comb product of \(G\) and \(H\) is a construction of graph obtained by attaching several copies of \(H\) to each vertices of \(G\). Meanwhile, an edge comb product of \(G\) and \(H\) is an alternate construction where the copies of \(H\) is attached on edges of \(G\) instead. In this paper, we investigate the vertex, edge, and total \(H\)-irregular labeling of \(G\) where both \(G\) and \(H\) is either a comb product or an edge comb product of graphs.

Abstract:

This study applies Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithms to classify five types of basketball footwork. SVM maps the training data into a high-dimensional space using nonlinear transformation and classifies it with support vectors and a hyperplane. Experimental analysis showed minimal differences in peak and trough values of footwork movements; therefore, only mean and standard deviation features were retained, resulting in 12 effective features. KNN experiments demonstrated that recognition accuracy varies with different K values. The highest accuracy (80.7%) was achieved when K = 5 with the selected features. The study also examined the physical characteristics of basketball players, analyzing height, weight, and other indicators. Statistical results showed no significant body shape differences between experimental and control groups (P > 0.05). A T-test on dribbling, shooting, and layup performance also revealed no significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05).

Abstract:

This study explores the employment competitiveness of computer science majors by integrating combinatorial mathematics into the evaluation process. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the improved FKCM clustering algorithm, we construct a hierarchical model to assess the impact of entrepreneurial education, learning motivation, and investment on job competitiveness. Data from 314 participants were analyzed using combinatorial techniques to derive optimal weightings for each factor, ensuring the evaluation model’s robustness. The results highlight significant gender differences in practical and feedback-based entrepreneurship education, with males outperforming females. However, no notable differences were observed in job interest, learning motivation, or overall employment competitiveness.

Abstract:

An (unrooted) binary tree is a tree in which every internal vertex has degree \(3\). In this paper, we determine the minimum and maximum number of total dominating sets in binary trees of a given order. The corresponding extremal binary trees are characterized as well. The minimum is always attained by the binary caterpillar, while the binary trees that attain the maximum are only unique when the number of vertices is not divisible by~\(4\). Moreover, we obtain a lower bound on the number of total dominating sets for \(d\)-ary trees and characterize the extremal trees as well.

Abstract:

Networks with smaller strong diameters generally have better fault tolerance because they enable closer connections between vertices, leading to shorter information paths. This allows the network to maintain communication and functionality more effectively during attacks or failures. In contrast, larger strong diameters mean vertices are connected over longer distances, increasing vulnerability to disruptions. Thus, the strong diameter is a key metric for assessing and optimizing network fault tolerance. This paper determines the optimal orientations for the Cartesian and strong products of even cycles, provides the minimum strong diameters and their bounds under specific conditions, and establishes a lower bound for the maximum strong diameter. A conjecture about the exact value of the maximum strong diameter is also proposed.

Abstract:

For a graph \(F\) and a positive integer \(t\), the edge-disjoint Ramsey number \(ER_t(F)\) is the minimum positive integer \(n\) such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph \(K_n\) of order \(n\) results in \(t\) pairwise edge-disjoint monochromatic copies of a subgraph isomorphic to \(F\). Since \(ER_1(F)\) is in fact the Ramsey number of \(F\), this concept extends the standard concept of Ramsey number. We investigate the edge-disjoint Ramsey numbers \(ER_t(K_{1, n})\) of the stars \(K_{1, n}\) of size \(n\). Formulas are established for \(ER_t(K_{1, n})\) for all positive integers \(n\) and \(t = 2, 3, 4\) and bounds are presented for \(ER_t(K_{1, n})\) for all positive integers \(n\) and \(t \ge 5\). Furthermore, exact values of \(ER_t(K_{1, n})\) are determined for \(n = 3, 4\) and several integers \(t \ge 5\).

Abstract:

The development of artificial intelligence enables computers to not only simulate human artistic creations, but also synthesize fine art works with deeper meanings based on natural images. This study digitally parses the fusion of fine art and philosophy visual expressions, and develops a visual expression system based on the fusion of fine art and philosophy by utilizing a variety of key big data algorithms for visual expressions such as adversarial networks. Research on pattern recognition of this system in art creation is carried out through model training, recommendation performance evaluation, pattern recognition strategy application and regression analysis. The model in this paper works best when the number of nearest neighbors k=15, and the recommendation model in this paper can provide a personalized list of artwork recommendations for different people. The recognition of the system in this paper in the five dimensions of “spiritual level”, “value level”, “philosophical level”, “aesthetic level” and “technical level” is distributed between 4.24\(\mathrm{\sim}\)4.55. The results of regression analysis indicated that the system in this paper can improve the artistic creation as well as pattern recognition.

Abstract:

With development of Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, cell phone signaling data, point-of-interest data and machine learning methods have been widely used in research of various fields of transportation. The use of big data processing techniques and machine learning methods to mine intercity travel data collected by various types of traffic detectors provides a new way of thinking to study travel mode selection behavior. In this paper, we pre-processed cell phone signaling data, geospatial data and interest point data around three aspects: personal attributes, travel attributes and travel mode attributes, and designed intercity travel target group extraction, travel chain extraction, travel mode extraction and travel purpose extraction algorithms, which provide basis for travel feature analysis and travel mode choice behavior prediction modeling.

Abstract:

Conventional techniques to electric power network (EPN) design and management are insufficient to handle extreme weather events like hurricanes due to the growing complexity and fragility of power systems. As a sophisticated simulation and optimization tool, digital twin (DT) technology may offer real-time power infrastructure monitoring and prediction. This study aims to investigate the possible application of digital twin technology in enhancing power system resilience and streamlining the design process, as well as to use it for the 3D design of the full substation engineering infrastructure process. A digital twin-based EPN model that incorporates all of the main components of the power system—power plants, substations, transmission and distribution networks, and customers—is proposed in this paper. Every component of the power system undergoes vulnerability analysis, and the chance of the system failing is calculated using a Bayesian network (BN) model and a parametric vulnerability function. According to modeling projections, Hurricane Ike will cause the majority of consumers’ power supplies to be interrupted. The model predicts that power consumption for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings will be 96.4%, 96.0%, and 94.2%, respectively, depending on the kind of building.

Abstract:

Radar ranging and speed measurement are common applications in daily life, with performance largely dependent on the radar signal processor. However, existing civilian radar signal processors struggle with weak signal reception and low analysis efficiency. This study designs a high-speed radar signal processor based on FPGA architecture, incorporating a fusion processing algorithm to integrate different radar signal bands, enhancing processing efficiency and accuracy. The design includes data feature analysis, storage, and fusion modules. Tests showed that the processor achieved real-time performance with a processing time under 1ms, a ranging error below 1m, and speed measurement accuracy within 5m/s, meeting practical requirements.

Abstract:

Intriguing symmetries are uncovered regarding all magic squares of orders 3, 4, and 5, with 1, 880, and 275,305,224 distinct configurations, respectively. In analogy with the travelling salesman problem, the distributions of the total topological distances of the paths travelled by passing through all the vertices (matrix elements) only once and spanning all elements of the matrix are analyzed. Symmetries are found to characterise the distributions of the total topological distances in these instances. These results raise open questions about the symmetries found in higher-order magic squares and the formulation of their minimum and maximum total path lengths.

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce the concept of vertex-edge locating Roman dominating functions in graphs. A vertex-edge locating Roman dominating \({(ve-LRD)}\) function of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a function \(f:V(G)\rightarrow\{0,1,2\}\) such that the following conditions are satisfied: (i) for every adjacent vertices \(u,v\) with \(f(u)=0\) or \(f(v)=0\), there exists a vertex \(w\) at distance \(1\) or \(2\) from \(u\) or \(v\) with \(f(w)=2\), (ii) for every edge \(uv\in E\), \(\max[f(u),f(v)]\neq 0\), and (iii) any pair of distinct vertices \(u,v\) with \(f(u)=f(v)=0\) does not have a common neighbour \(w\) with \(f(w)=2\). The weight of ve-LRD function is the sum of its function values over all the vertices. The vertex-edge locating Roman domination number of \(G\), denoted by \(\gamma_{veLR}(G)\), is the minimum weight of a {ve-LRD} function in \(G\). We proved that the vertex-edge locating Roman domination problem is NP-complete for bipartite graphs. Also, we present the upper and lower bounds of \({ve-LRD}\) function for trees. Lastly, we give the upper bounds of \({ve-LRD}\) function for some connected graphs.

Abstract:

Traditional personnel recruitment methods are often inefficient and struggle to find candidates who meet job requirements. In this paper, we first develop a comprehensive personnel management system for colleges and universities that streamlines the recruitment process and information management. Next, recruitment data from the system is analyzed using the fuzzy C-means algorithm to cluster applicant profiles and extract position-specific user characteristics. Finally, a joint embedded neural network is employed to match applicant profiles with job positions by optimizing an objective function. Experimental results demonstrate a high job matching rate (up to 98.1%), a significantly reduced recruitment cycle (from job posting to candidate onboarding in 25 days), and a system response time as low as 0.5 seconds. These findings highlight the effectiveness of big data technology in providing timely feedback, reducing recruitment costs and staff workload, and promoting the intelligent development of talent recruitment.

Abstract:

In order to solve the multi-objective optimization problem of resource allocation in enterprise strategic management, the article firstly establishes a multi-objective resource allocation model for maximizing the benefits of enterprises in enterprise strategic management. Then, it optimizes and improves the initial population, convergence factor and dynamic weights of the gray wolf algorithm, increases the population diversity by using the population strategy of reverse learning, improves the convergence factor into a nonlinear factor, and finally changes the decision-making weights of the gray wolf leadership and applies the dynamic weights to improve the accuracy of the algorithm. Subsequently, the improved gray wolf algorithm is utilized for model decoupling. By applying this paper’s algorithm and the other two algorithms to solve the six algorithms 30*6, 60*6, 90*2, 90*4, 150*4 and 150*6 for 9 times, it is found that in the analysis of the 30*6 algorithm, the enterprise’s resource allocation reaches 5,000 when the time is 110 s. At the same time, this paper’s algorithm obtains a better non-dominated solution than the other two algorithms, which proves that this paper’s algorithm solves the multi-objective resource allocation problem of enterprise law industry is proved to be effective.

Abstract:

In food processing, foreign matter inevitably contaminates packaged food. To ensure food safety, ray-based detection is used; however, the original images suffer from aberrations and noise that degrade quality and hinder further processing. Thus, images are preprocessed to enhance quality by highlighting key features and suppressing irrelevant ones before abnormal pattern recognition. Following image segmentation, a BP neural network algorithm is applied for foreign object detection. In tests with contaminants such as metal wires, stones, and glass, the algorithm identified distinct abnormal fluctuations at gray levels of 132, 108, and 34, respectively, allowing it to reliably detect foreign objects. Although the practical detection rate reached 100%, occasional misjudgments suggest that further optimization is needed. Overall, this method introduces a novel approach to detecting foreign objects in food and offers promising new strategies for improving food safety monitoring.
