Self as well as cross diffusion are taken into consideration to describe spatial moment of the species which make the system more realistic. This study aims to investigate the role of prey refuge, toxin-carrying carcass and the impact of cross-diffusion on the spatial distribution of species densities and associated patterns. The existence of equilibria and their stability conditions for non-spatial system are derived. We discuss the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation and detect the stability of limit cycle by computing first Lyapunov number. Temporal dynamics of the system is studied by varying the significant parameters. Study reveals that both prey refuge and fatality rate of predator due to toxin-carrying carcass, initially makes the system stable for low refuge and fatality rate but predator population goes to extinction as those effects increase. Turing instability conditions are listed and different instability regions so formed are discussed. In Turing region, pattern selection with the help of amplitude equation via weakly nonlinear analysis are performed which also numerically supported. Intensity of refuge and fatality rate due to toxin carrying carcass result paradox with real ecological world due to the presence of cross diffusion. Various kind of patterns such as mixture of stripe and spot, spot, irregular chaotic patterns emerge due to Hopf and Turing instability. Particularly, spatiotemporal chaos is a controversial topic because of its significant consequences for population dynamics. The results of this work are expected to contribute to a better understanding the level of prey refuge, use of toxin-carrying carcass considering movement in population and effect of cross-diffusion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10340,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142417960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the presence of periodic nonlinearities in many physical systems, a deformable sine-Gordon-shaped Remoissenet–Peyrard potential (RPP)-based LSR system is proposed for the first time in this work. Testing under both noise-free and noisy conditions proves the existence of parameter-induced LSR phenomena in the proposed system. Moreover, we find that a relatively wide potential well shape contributes to enhanced noise robustness in the RPP-based LSR system. Additionally, traditional polynomial nonlinearity-based LSR systems are compared with the proposed system. Regardless of whether the noise is Gaussian white noise or composite noise containing spiking pulses, the RPP-based LSR system exhibits superior robustness.

The thicker SOI waveguide results in closer effective refractive indices between the two heterogeneous waveguide structures to achieve better resonance conditions. Here, we demonstrate excellent light coupling from an active III-V structure to an SOI waveguide with a standard 220 nm Si waveguide by incorporating the grating-assisted co-directional coupler (GACC) method. The GACC grating structure can be formed on either side of the III-V and Si wafers. With the GACC scheme, a thicker adhesive for bonding the two different materials can be used. The simulation verifies that over 94 % energy coupling efficiency can be obtained by using a 100 nm thick DVS-BCB as the bonding layer.

In response to fire hazards, pedestrians instinctively seek alternative evacuation routes to avoid the hazard zone. However, the specific location and intensity of the fire hazard zone can influence pedestrians' decisions, leading to varying congestion levels in different areas. To address this challenge and enhance overall evacuation efficiency, this paper introduces an improved social force model to depict pedestrian movement in fire scenarios and proposes a methodology that leverages dynamic robot for pedestrian evacuation, employing Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The results show that in the no-robot scenario, pedestrians will detour according to the varying locations of fire hazard zones and emergency levels, resulting in congestion at different positions. In the static robot scenario, robots placed in different locations exhibit varied effects on evacuation depending on the fire hazard zones' locations and intensities. In the DRL-control robot scenario, the robot controlled by DRL and HRL can always navigate to the appropriate position to promote evacuation, regardless of the fire's location and emergency levels or the robot's initial placement. Furthermore, our findings reveal that strategically positioned robots can enhance evacuation efficiency by alleviating crowding and increasing the distance between pedestrians and fire hazard zones in most cases, thereby improving pedestrian safety.
