On this basis, the stability distribution of the equilibrium points is analyzed, the related bifurcation behaviors are studied by utilizing some numerical simulation methods, and the plane coexistence behaviors are proved theoretically and revealed numerically.

Adversarial training (AT) is a conventional solution for enhancing adversarial robustness, which generates adversarial examples (AEs) in a generation phase and subsequently trains on these AEs in a training phase. Existing long-tailed adversarial learning methods follow the AT framework and rebalance the AE classification in the training phase. However, few of them realize the impact of the long-tailed distribution on the generation phase. In this paper, we delve into the generation phase and uncover its imbalance across different classes. We evaluate the generation quality for different classes by comparing the differences between their generated AEs and natural examples. Our findings reveal that these differences are less pronounced in tail classes compared to head classes, indicating their inferior generation quality. To solve this problem, we propose the novel Distribution-Aware Adversarial Example Generation (DAG) method, which balances the AE generation for different classes using a Virtual Example Creator (VEC) and a Gradient-Guided Calibrator (GGC). The VEC creates virtual examples to introduce more adversarial perturbations for different classes, while the GGC calibrates the creation process to enhance the focus on tail classes based on their generation quality, effectively addressing the imbalance problem. Extensive experiments on three long-tailed adversarial benchmarks across five attack scenarios demonstrate DAG's effectiveness.

A noticeable discrepancy emerges in the convergence speed between the PDE loss and the initial/boundary conditions loss, leading to the inability of PINNs to effectively learn the true solutions to these PDEs. In the present work, leveraging the neural tangent kernels (NTKs), we investigate the training dynamics of PINNs. Our theoretical analysis reveals that when PINNs are trained using gradient descent with momentum (GDM), the gap in convergence rates between the two loss terms is significantly reduced, thereby enabling the learning of the exact solution.

In light of these limitations, we propose a novel multimodal FL framework, namely FedMEKT, based on a semi-supervised learning approach to leverage representations from different modalities. To address the challenges of modality discrepancy and labeled data constraints in existing FL systems, our proposed FedMEKT framework comprises local multimodal autoencoder learning, generalized multimodal autoencoder construction, and generalized classifier learning. Bringing this concept into the proposed framework, we develop a distillation-based multimodal embedding knowledge transfer mechanism which allows the server and clients to exchange joint multimodal embedding knowledge extracted from a multimodal proxy dataset. Specifically, our FedMEKT iteratively updates the generalized global encoders with joint multimodal embedding knowledge from participating clients through upstream and downstream multimodal embedding knowledge transfer for local learning.
