To make full use of the system data without adding unknown parameters, the particle filtering method is applied to obtain unknown states and variables in scarce measurement-data systems. Thus, the maximum likelihood Levenberg Marquardt (ML-LM) iterative method based on particle filtering (ML-LM-I-PF) is derived.

This mechanism not only improved the diversity of the population but also enhanced the global search capability by relaxing the constraints, allowing infeasible solutions with higher fitness rankings to participate in the evolution. In the second stage, an equal-probability competitive strategy was used to select high-quality parents from the elite mating pool to ensure that the population could converge quickly to the optimal solution. The two-stage approach not only improved the exploration ability of the algorithm, but also was able to select higher quality solutions and prevent them from falling into local optima. Additionally, the solution selection in the elite environment employed a three-criteria ranking method to maintain a balance between population diversity and convergence. In terms of experiments, CP-TSEA was compared with seven advanced CMOEAs across five test suites, and the comprehensive data showed that CP-TSEA significantly outperformed its competitors. In addition, CP-TSEA also achieved the best values in six real-world problems, which further confirmed its scalability in real-world applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"230 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142700820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the distributions of prey’s resources can be homogeneous, by using some proper Lyapunov functionals and applying LaSalle’s invariant principle, we obtain that the solution can converge to the positive steady state exponentially or to the competitive exclusion steady states algebraically as time goes to infinity. Our finding shows that the consideration of temporal dynamics on the resources can lead to the coexistence of two competitors in some parameter conditions regardless of their dispersal rates. When the distributions of prey’s resources are spatially heterogeneous, we conduct several numerical simulations in different combinations of dispersal strategy and the distributions of prey’s resources, and we show that the non-random dispersal and heterogeneous distributions of prey’s resources can affect the fates of two competitors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49856,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics and Computers in Simulation","volume":"230 ","pages":"Pages 131-148"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142700817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
