The strength of social relationships is indicated by the link weight which is dynamically updated by the differences in views between individuals. We investigate the effects of changes in the link weight control parameter, tolerance control parameter, and link weight adjustment amplitude on the evolution of cooperation. Through Monte Carlo simulations, we find that a co-evolutionary mechanism of game strategies and link weights influenced by opinions can facilitate the evolution of cooperation. More specifically, cooperation can be favored by an increase in the link weight control parameter, a decrease in the tolerance control parameter, and an increase in link weight adjustment amplitude. Changes in these parameters increase the heterogeneity of the network and therefore facilitate cooperation. These results help us understand how selfish individuals in a social dilemma can adjust their social relationships based on opinion dynamics to facilitate cooperation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"502 ","pages":"Article 129476"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854366","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}

At first, the hyperbolic tangent function and interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (IT2FLSs) are integrated to deal with unknown nonlinear expressions, where the potential singularity problem exposed in some existing fixed-time control schemes can be effectively prevented. Using a modified CFBC technique, the matter of “explosion of complexity” exposed in the classical recursive design procedure and the negative effects caused by filter error existing in dynamic surface control are overcome. Furthermore, the fixed time adaptive resilient controllers are designed for position subsystem and attitude subsystem, separately, where the event-triggered mechanism is incorporated into controller design to relax communication bandwidth constraints. Moreover, the rigorous analysis demonstrated that the designed control scheme can ensure that all closed-loop signals are fixed-time bounded, and the tracking errors can be regulated into a residual set satisfying a user-defined tracking performance.

The reputation mechanism is particularly interesting and important among many mechanisms. Therefore, it has received widespread attention and research from related researchers, which is also mainly attributed to the important effect of reputation in promoting cooperation of evolution system. However, until now, the role of reputation mechanism in facilitating the evolution of cooperation has not been completely accurately revealed. In reality, the mechanism of mutual imitation of behaviors between interactive individuals based on reputation factors is still an interesting and unsolved problem. In this work, a novel evolutionary mechanism is proposed based on reputation levels and disparities, in which the evolutionary strategy of imitator is influenced by the reputation disparities of the imitated and the imitator. Moreover, based on the proposed evolutionary mechanism, this paper also explores the influence of reputation levels on the evolution of cooperation. Monte Carlo simulations verify that the proposed evolutionary mechanism is easier to promote cooperation of evolution system, especially when the reputation weight factor is larger, or the number of reputation levels is fewer, compared with the traditional PDG model. The study also indirectly reveals that streamlining the institutions is easy to promote social harmony and development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55496,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Computation","volume":"501 ","pages":"Article 129473"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843133","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}

First, we modify the RBF interpolation making it into the WENO reconstruction framework along with representing it by a perturbation of polynomial. The explicit form of disturbance term on each stencil is given. Through selecting the appropriate shape parameters of MQ RBF, the relevant WENO scheme achieves sixth-order accuracy than other well-known fifth-order WENO schemes under some conditions. Moreover, some differential operators based on trigonometric function space are employed to obtain new smoothness indicators that efficiently evaluates the sharp change of gradient on the candidate stencil. To highlight the effectiveness of the proposed WENO scheme, this new scheme is applied to several one and two-dimensional hyperbolic test problems, and compared with the existing schemes such as WENO-JS, WENO-M and WENO-Z.

A prominent example is the phenomenon where one species preys on the offspring of another. This paper introduces and analyzes a novel stage-structured competition model to explore this ecological dynamic. Focusing on juvenile and adult life stages, we integrate two competition forms: exploitative (through shared resource limitation) and interference (where adults consume rival juveniles). While exploitative and interference competition are well-studied individually, their interplay in stage-structured populations remains underexplored. Our analysis reveals critical thresholds for resource abundance that determine whether species coexist, one dominates, or both perish. Remarkably, when one species inherently excels at resource exploitation, it dominates regardless of the interference rate on its rival's juveniles. Furthermore, increasing resource productivity can induce Hopf bifurcations, leading to cyclic population dynamics—a finding with implications for managing ecosystems under environmental change. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate and validate our theoretical findings.
