Such strategies are characterized by lack of learning. However, learning from accumulated evidence over time and using the evidence to dynamically update our response is a key feature of living organisms. Bayesian inference provides a framework for such evidence-based learning mechanisms. It is therefore imperative to understand how strategies based on Bayesian learning fare in repeated games with Markovian strategies. Here, we consider a scenario where the Bayesian player uses the accumulated evidence of the opponent’s actions over several rounds to continuously update her belief about the reactive opponent’s strategy. The Bayesian player can then act on her inferred belief in different ways. By studying repeated Prisoner’s dilemma games with such Bayesian inferential strategies, both in infinite and finite populations, we identify the conditions under which such strategies can be evolutionarily stable. We find that a Bayesian strategy that is less altruistic than the inferred belief about the opponent’s strategy can outperform a larger set of reactive strategies, whereas one that is more generous than the inferred belief is more successful when the benefit-to-cost ratio of mutual cooperation is high. Our analysis reveals how learning the opponent’s strategy through Bayesian inference, as opposed to utility maximization, can be beneficial in the long run, in preventing exploitation and eventual invasion by reactive strategies.","PeriodicalId":508829,"journal":{"name":"New Journal of Physics","volume":"117 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141115739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the Kuramoto model has turned out effective with one-dimensional oscillators, real-world systems often involve high-dimensional interacting units, such as biological swarms, necessitating a model of multidimensional oscillators. However, existing high-dimensional generalizations of the Kuramoto model commonly rely on a scalar-valued coupling strength, which limits their ability to capture the full complexity of high-dimensional interactions. This work introduces a matrix, A, to couple the interconnected components of the oscillators in a d-dimensional space, leading to a matrix-coupled multidimensional Kuramoto model that approximates a prototypical swarm dynamics by its first-order harmonics. Moreover, the matrix A introduces an inter-dimensional higher-order interaction that partly accounts for the emergence of 2^{d} system modes in a d-dimensional population, where each dimension can either be synchronized or desynchronized, represented by a set of almost binary order parameters. The binary system modes capture characteristic swarm behaviors such as fish milling or polarized schooling. Additionally, our findings provides a theoretical analogy to cerebral activity, where the resting state and the activated state coexist unihemispherically. It also suggests a new possibility for information storage in oscillatory neural networks.","PeriodicalId":508829,"journal":{"name":"New Journal of Physics","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141114594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spectral winding number under periodic boundary conditions reveals the localization directions of skin states. Further, we present the analytical solution of transition points by tracing the self-intersecting points on the complex plane. Interestingly, the current system exhibits the abundant non-Hermitian skin effects, including the normal, W-shaped, and bipolar localization properties, which the eigenstate distributions and the generalized Brillouin zone can clearly illustrate. We also provide a phase diagram to represent the skin transition properties of the system comprehensively. Further, we demonstrate that the multimer non-Hermitian lattices also present the anomalous skin effect and multiple transitions, which occur in the region of the bulk band touching, the same as the two-band lattice.

Therefore, besides designing and running the feasible installation for the experimental weak-signal detection, developing various effective approaches to process the big detected data for extracting the information 1about the GWs is also particularly important. In this paper, we focus on the simulated time-domain detected data of the electromagnetic response of the GWs in high frequency band, typically such as Gigahertzs. Specifically, we develop an effective deep learning method to implement the classification of the simulated detection data, which includes the strong electromagnetic background noise in the same frequency band, for the parameter estimations of the HFGWs. The simulatively detected data is generated by the transverse first-order electromagnetic responses of the HFGWs passing through a high stationary magnetic field biased by a high frequency Gaussian beam. We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to implement the classification of the simulated detection data, whose accuracy can reach more than 90%. With these data being served as the positive sample datasets, the physical parameters of the simulatively detected HFGWs can be effectively estimated by matching the sample datasets with the noise-free template library one by one. The confidence levels of these extracted parameters can reach to 95% in the corresponding confidence interval. By the multiple data experiments, the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed data processing method is verified. Hopefully, the proposed method could be generalized to the big data processing for the experimental HFGWs detections, in future.","PeriodicalId":508829,"journal":{"name":"New Journal of Physics","volume":"37 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140667335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, predicting the temporal evolution of diffusion on networks remains challenging as the process is shaped by network topology, spreading non-linearities, and heterogeneous adaptation behavior. In this study, we propose the spindle vector, a new network topological feature, which shapes nodes according to the distance from the root node. The spindle vector captures the relative order of nodes in diffusion propagation, thus allowing us to approximate the spatiotemporal evolution of diffusion dynamics on networks. The approximation simplifies the detailed connections of node pairs by only focusing on the nodal count within individual layers and the interlayer connections, seeking a compromise between efficiency and complexity. Through experiments on various networks, we show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art on BA networks with an average improvement of 38.6% on the Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Additionally, the predictive accuracy of our method exhibits a notable convergence with the Pairwise Approximation (PA) approach with the increasing presence of quadrangles and pentagons in WS networks.

The singularity points known as Exceptional points (EP) can be realized in such non-Hermitian systems. EP demonstrates a square root topology on minute perturbations, hence promising to be a potential candidate to sense external parameters, such as temperature, thermal fluctuations, refractive index, and biomolecules. Hence, in this work, through numerical and analytical investigations, we explore the sensing capabilities in the vicinity of EP utilizing suitably designed terahertz metasurfaces. Here, we propose a non-Hermitian metasystem comprising two orthogonally twisted square split ring resonators coupled by near-field EM (Electromagnetic) interactions that can exhibit dark-bright modes. In such a system, the presence of an active (photo-doped) material in the split gap of one of the resonators opens up an effective avenue to introduce controllable asymmetric losses, ultimately leading to the emergence of exceptional points in the polarization space. Hence, thin film sensing at the proximity of the emerged exceptional point is investigated for different refractive indices by coating with an overlayer atop the metasurface. In such a configuration, the sensitivities of the eigenstates are calculated in terms of the Refractive Index Unit, which turns out to be - 0.044 THz/RIU and - 0.063 THz/RIU when the system is perturbed near EP. Our proposed metasurface-inspired EP-based sensing strategy can open up novel ways to sense the refractive index of unknown materials besides other physical parameters.","PeriodicalId":508829,"journal":{"name":"New Journal of Physics","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140690719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
