This problem has been proven to be NP-Hard. However, few heuristic or approximate algorithms exist, even for trees. Thus, in this paper we propose a novel tree burning algorithm called DASH, where the node with both a strong burning capacity and large spacing to the existing activated nodes is selected as a new seed sequentially. This DASH algorithm is implemented and compared with existing algorithms on 20 spanning subtrees of real networks and 15 randomly generated trees, and the experimental results demonstrate that DASH performs better.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20172,"journal":{"name":"Physics Letters A","volume":"528 ","pages":"Article 130058"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142651192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Interestingly, in Snowdrift and Stag Hunt games, pedestrians tend to choose cooperation, therefore queuing orderly; whereas in the Prisoner's Dilemma, they are more likely to defect, exhibiting extremely aggression.

In the letter, we reveal that the ultrasound-caused shifts in optical frequency and phase depend on the modulation of optical phase in acousto-optic interaction of turbid media. Additionally, the intensity of frequency-shifted light is related to the modulation of optical phase. Then, with the increase of the modulation amplitude of optical phase, the phase-modulated light comprises relatively more light waves with higher frequency shifts.
