In this paper, based on a theory given by Gori, we have introduced a flat-topped lattice named a multi-cosine-multi-Gaussian correlated beam (McMGCB); the coherence function of the McMGCB consists of a multi-cosine component and a multi-Gaussian component, and the array composed of flat-topped beamlets can be realized by this McMGCB. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel integral, the propagation equation of such McMGCB is der...

Wing–diesel hybrid ships are a practical approach to sustainable maritime transport that harnesses wind energy to supplement diesel propulsion and reduce carbon emissions. The core optimization problem addressed in this study is the global energy efficiency optimization of path planning and propulsion system cooperative control for wing–diesel hybrid ships under two typical sail operation statuses (sail-deployed and sail-stowe...

Underwater vehicles performing sampling tasks often encounter significant buoyancy variations due to payload adjustments and environmental changes, which severely challenge the stability and accuracy of controllers. To address this issue, this paper proposes a hybrid control framework that integrates Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) with adaptive PID tuning. The framework employs PPO to dynamically adjust PID parameters onli...

In this work, a new beam named the Hermite–Gaussian correlated vortex beam (HGCVB) is introduced. The intensity and coherence of this HGCVB in oceanic turbulence are analyzed. The results show that the HGCVB displays a splitting property during propagation, and the HGCVB can evolve into the array profile with hollow center beamlets. The results display that the evolution of the intensity of the HGCVB is manipulated by the cohe...
