An algorithm that has been proposed in order to obtain approximate solutions of problems of these kind (NP-complete) is the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), a variational hybrid quantum-classical algorithm. In this paper, we apply the QAOA to the CLP for binary linear codes. We model the problem, make the theoretical analysis the case of the first level, and introduce some experiments to test its performance.

The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pests and infected pests. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of susceptible pests existing in the crop arena. Impacts of awareness are modeled through the usual mass action term and a saturated term. It is further assumed that self-aware people will adopt chemical and biological control methods, namely, integrated pest management. Bio-pesticides are costly and require a long-term process, expensive to impose. However, if chemical pesticides are introduced in the farming system along with bio-pesticides, the process will be faster as well as cost-effective. Also, farming knowledge is equally important. In this article, a mathematical model is derived for controlling crop pests through an awareness-based integrated approach.

Buslaev. The system is a version of the system called an open chain of contours. Continuous and discrete versions of the system were considered earlier. The system contains <i>N</i> contours. There is one adjacent contour for the utmost left and the utmost right contour, and there are two adjacent contours for any other contour. There is a common point of any two adjacent contours. This point is called a node. There is a cluster in each contour. For the continuous version, the cluster is a segment, moving with constant velocity if there is no delay. For the discrete version, the cluster is a group of adjacent particles. Delays are due to that two clusters may not move through the same node simultaneously. The main system characteristic, studied earlier, is the average velocity of clusters. In this paper, the continious and discrete version of the open chain of contours are considered. The following version of the system is also considered. Each cluster is a segment, and the cluster is shifted onto the distance <i>α</i> at any discrete moment if no delay occurs.
