Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-Based Computational Intelligence Model for Urban Carbon Emission and Economic Growth

Abstract

Economic development leads to the widespread use of energy, which results in carbon emissions. In order to determine the correlation between different urban carbon emissions and fiscal growth, a coupling and coordination model of urban carbon emissions and economic growth based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is constructed. According to the coupling and coordinated development characteristics of economic growth and carbon emissions, the evaluation index system of the regional economy and carbon emissions is constructed. This paper examines the proportion of primary energy consumption and the influencing factors of carbon emission in a city and constructs the economic growth computational intelligence model and urban carbon emission model. The coupling degree among economic growth, carbon emission, and energy consumption is studied; the coupling standard between economic growth and energy consumption carbon emission is determined; and the carbon emission factor under the method of DFT is introduced. The coupling coordination model between economic growth and carbon emission is constructed, and the interaction mechanism between carbon emission, economic development, and environmental protection is determined. The experimental findings demonstrate that when energy consumption intensity and carbon emission are relatively low, the model’s change in the trend of coupling coordination index is comparable with the real/actual condition and the model is more reliable.
