To conserve communication resources, we introduce an ETS into the reset observer-based containment controller. To avoid Zeno behavior, a trigger known as the “Zeno-free trigger” is introduced, which prevents Zeno behavior by setting a fixed triggering interval as the lower bound of the event-triggered interval. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed protocol is demonstrated through a case involving a formation of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).

Evolutionary game theory (EGT) emerges in this setting as a crucial paradigm to address this complex issue. In this study, an EGT-based Vicsek with a fixed number of neighbors is proposed. It assumed that the agent had a limited view and just considered a certain number of neighbors. Agents exhibit varying movement patterns depending on the strategies they choose. Each agent's payoff depends on balancing the benefits of group movement against the communication costs with selected neighbors. Using the Fermi rule, individuals adjust their strategies accordingly. The study indicates that agents achieve the highest levels of cooperation and the fastest convergence times in high-density environments. When density is constant, increasing the number of neighbors enhances the synchronization; when the number of neighbors remains unchanged, a lower density leads to better synchronization. Additionally, the results show that EGT could boost the synchronization and accelerate the convergence of self-propelled agents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"500 ","pages":"Article 129403"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143687707","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}

A three-layer propagation model is proposed to explore the co-evolutionary dynamics of competitive information, immunization behavior, and epidemics in multiplex networks. We consider the competitive transmission of positive and negative information under the effect of individual cognitive preference and the effect of the subjective cognizance and objective environmental factors. For the objective environmental factors, the Prospect Theory is introduced to describe the risk-related costs. Furthermore, we investigate the local group immunity phenomenon. Utilizing the MMCA (microscopic Markov chain approach) for theoretical analysis, our findings indicate that the dynamics of epidemic transmission can indeed undergo multi-stage phase transitions when there exists a competing propagation of positive and negative information. Improving individual cognitive preference for positive information is essential for making the right judgments when engaging in the immunization game process and reducing the epidemic transmission scale. In addition, individuals are encouraged to reduce the free-rider strategy and adopt immunization behavior timely during epidemic transmission, as this contributes to overall emergency management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"499 ","pages":"Article 129406"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686618","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}
