This design not only simplifies the memristor structure but also offers a new approach to constructing multi-scroll chaotic systems. The proposed memristor is integrate into a modified Sprott-C system to develop the one-dimensional memristive multi-scroll Sprott-C systems (1D-MMSCS), two-dimensional memristive multi-scroll Sprott-C systems (2D-MMSCS), and the three-dimensional memristive multi-scroll Sprott-C systems (3D-MMSCS). The complex dynamics of these memristive multi-scroll systems are analyzed using equilibrium points, Poincaré maps, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents. Interestingly, the constructed MMSCS exhibits extreme multi-stability, indicating its high sensitivity to initial conditions and enhanced unpredictability. To verify the practical feasibility of the system, it is developed a digital hardware platform based on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and successfully implemented both the 1D-MMSCS and 2D-MMSCS. Finally, leveraging Lyapunov stability theory and predefined-time stability theory, a novel predefined-time sliding mode control scheme (PTSMS) is proposed. This scheme is applied to achieve synchronization in the more complex 3D-MMSCS. Simulation results confirm that the proposed method ensures rapid synchronization and exhibits strong robustness against internal uncertainties and external disturbances.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 116337"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SE_GCN leverages structural similarities among nodes at various hop distances to construct a comprehensive feature matrix, which is directly used for node embedding. GCNs are employed to process this feature matrix, learning effective representations of nodes within the network. The fully connected layer of SE_GCN computes the embedded score of each node, and a sigmoid function predicts the influential probabilities of nodes. The performance of SE_GCN is evaluated by comparing it with the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemiological model, Kendall's tau correlation, and Jaccard similarity. The proposed method is assessed using baseline methods in terms of infection rate, seed set size, correlation coefficient, and similarity index across several synthetic and real-world networks.

We present a structured mathematical model that focuses on T-cell exhaustion and its effect on tumour growth. We compartmentalise cytotoxic T-cells into discrete subgroups based on their exhaustion level, which affects their ability to kill tumour cells. We show that the model reduces to a simpler system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that describes the time evolution of the total number of T-cells, their mean exhaustion level and the total number of tumour cells. Numerical simulations of the model equations reveal how the exhaustion distribution of T-cells changes over time and how it influences the tumour's growth dynamics. Complementary bifurcation analysis shows how altering key parameters significantly reduces the tumour burden, highlighting exhaustion as a promising target for immunotherapy. Finally, we derive a continuum approximation of the discrete ODE model, which admits analytical solutions that provide complementary insight into T-cell exhaustion dynamics and their effect on tumour growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":9372,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Mathematical Biology","volume":"87 5","pages":"61"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
