Abstract

With the growth of coal production, the load on the production capacity of coal enterprises also increases, which leads to a concomitant increase in dust formation in both opencast and underground methods of mining coal deposits. Dust, generated during drilling, blasting operations, excavation, loading, crushing and transportation of mined rock is one of the factors that has a negative impact on the health of mining workers and on the level of environmental pollution with solid particles. Thus, increasing the efficiency of controlling the concentration of solid particles in the mine atmosphere and dust deposits is an urgent scientific and technical task. In doing so, the use of modern digital technologies within the framework of the industry 4.0 concept makes it possible to develop approaches that can significantly improve the quality of monitoring the state of the mine atmosphere at coal mining enterprises. This article provides a theoretical basis and test results for a system for continuous automatic monitoring of dust concentration in a mine atmosphere as the component of the multifunctional coal mine safety system. It is shown that monitoring the state of mine workings aerological safety can be carried out in real time through the system of the new generation using artificial intelligence. The ability of the proposed system to measure basic physical parameters affecting dust deposition (disperse composition, air humidity, dust concentration and air flow velocity) is noted.

Co-Investment with Payoff-Sharing Mechanism for Cooperative Decision-Making in Network Design Games

Network-based systems are inherently interconnected, with the design and performance of subnetworks being interdependent. However, the decisions of self-interested operators may lead to suboptimal outcomes for users and the overall system. This paper explores cooperative mechanisms that can simultaneously benefit both operators and users. We address this challenge using a game-theoretical framework that integrates both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory. In the non-cooperative stage, we propose a network design game in which subnetwork decision-makers strategically design local infrastructures. In the cooperative stage, co-investment with payoff-sharing mechanism is developed to enlarge collective benefits and fairly distribute them. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, we conduct case studies on the Sioux Falls network and real-world public transport networks in Zurich and Winterthur, Switzerland. Our evaluation considers impacts on environmental sustainability, social welfare, and economic efficiency. The proposed framework provides a foundation for improving interdependent networked systems by enabling strategic cooperation among self-interested operators.

Generalizable Optimal Control with Transformers: One Policy Across Diverse Systems

Classical optimal control designs a separate controller for each plant. Even for the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), every new model must be identified and its Riccati equation re-solved. We ask whether a single learned policy can instead serve an entire family of systems, and we show that one transformer can. We train the policy to imitate optimal LQR state feedback across a collection of heterogeneous Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems that differ in their state and input dimensions and in their cost objectives. A shared representation lets the same parameters control every member of the family. It combines system-wise standardization, zero-padding and masking across dimensions, and an explicit encoding of the cost matrices. At run time, the policy maps a short window of recent states and the specified cost to a control action. It uses no plant matrices and identifies the dynamics implicitly from the state history. We evaluate on $28$ simulated systems over $9{,}675$ closed-loop rollouts, and no unstable rollout was observed in any of them. On the systems seen during training, it attains a median relative sub-optimality of $0.022\%$, even under parameter perturbations of up to $\pm10\%$. It transfers to unseen systems with lightweight fine-tuning, reaching a median sub-optimality of $0.19\%$. These results support transformers as generalizable near-optimal controllers for structured families of linear systems.

Two-Timescale Asymptotic Simulations of Hybrid Inclusions with Applications to Stochastic Hybrid Optimization

Convergence properties of model-free two-timescale asymptotic simulations of singularly perturbed hybrid inclusions are developed. A hybrid inclusion combines constrained differential and difference inclusions to capture continuous (flow) and discrete (jump) dynamics, respectively. Sufficient conditions are established under which sequences of iterates and step sizes constitute a two-timescale asymptotic simulation of such a system, with limiting behavior characterized via weakly invariant and internally chain-transitive sets of an associated boundary layer and reduced system. To illustrate the applicability of these results, conditions are given under which a two-timescale stochastic approximation of a hybrid optimization algorithm asymptotically recovers the behavior of its deterministic counterpart.
