Drawing inspiration from this inherent interplay, we investigate the role of environmental feedback on the spatial prisoner's dilemma game. We establish two discrete environmental states by introducing a feedback parameter. Furthermore, we incorporate a more realistic scenario wherein individuals with higher fitness are more likely to be imitated by their neighbors due to preferential selection. Our findings reveal that environmental feedback efficiently fosters cooperation, driven by the preferential selection. Moreover, a specific parameter range is identified in which the enhancement for cooperation is most pronounced. Notably, we observe that environmental feedback alone does not enhance cooperation, a result potentially linked to the nature of feedback formulations employed. These results provide valuable insights into the emergence and evolution of cooperation within complex systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"495 ","pages":"Article 129331"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077683","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 pairwise evolutionary game theory model, which incorporates prey species behavior to mitigate infection, is also examined. Prey individuals can employ two behavioral tactics, cooperation, and defection, to reduce infection. The behavioral changes in prey are described using a game dynamic model based on replicator equations, where the gain depends on pairwise dyadic interactions. Without predator species, the prey population is assumed to grow logistically, with the disease affecting only the prey. The prey population is divided into susceptible prey and infected prey. Predators, which are not infected by the disease, feed on both susceptible and infected prey. The presence of predators induces fear in the prey, making them more vigilant and reducing their contact with infected individuals. This decreased contact lowers the chance of infection among susceptible prey. Infected prey, being more watchful, are unaffected by the fear of predators. The equilibrium points of the system and their stability are analyzed. As the level of fear increases, the system shifts from limit cycle oscillations to a steady state. While increasing fear levels do not eradicate the disease, they do reduce the amplitude of the infected prey population. The system's stability changes with varying infection rates, leading to predator extinction when the infection rate in prey is sufficiently high despite predators not being infected. This study reveals that fear and behavioral control strategies can contribute to eradicating the disease. Increasing levels of fear have a passive effect on reducing the infected population, while control behavior has an active impact, highlighting a critical insight that strengthens the model. These findings enhance the understanding of the system's dynamic behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"495 ","pages":"Article 129318"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077684","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}

Unfortunately, due to the current limitations of medical and technological conditions, only a small number of patients have been able to receive appropriate treatment. Although the traditional Harris Hawk's Optimization (HHO) algorithm has a strong searching ability for global optima which is helpful of early diagnosis of depression, it is highly prone to getting stuck in local optima during the early iterations. In view of this, the Optimized-Parameter Harris Hawk's Optimization (OP-HHO) algorithm proposed in this study is devised by integrating an exponential decay function. This incorporation endows the algorithm with the capacity to dynamically modulate the search step size, progressively diminish the escape energy, thereby bolstering the local search capabilities and efficaciously circumventing the problem of premature convergence that may stem from overzealous global exploration. The performance of the OP-HHO was tested using 23 benchmark functions. Based on the features selected by the OP-HHO algorithm, depression classification was carried out using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm in combination with the MODMA database. The accuracy rate reached 96.36% - 97.30% across different brain wave frequencies under happy stimuli, and 100% under sad stimuli. Moreover, the classification results in the overall electroencephalogram (EEG) signals also showed excellent performance. This indicates that the OP-HHO algorithm is highly effective in accurately identifying the key features of depression. Our comparative study conducted reveals the existence of gender differences, which are expected to serve as effective features to further improve the accuracy of depression classification, opening up new avenues for the development of depression diagnosis techniques.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"495 ","pages":"Article 129317"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143035302","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}
