Our findings highlight a pronounced disparity in passing efficiency, with home teams demonstrating superior performance relative to away teams.

Comparing the results of games, we find that some motifs are related to the goal difference. It indicates that direct and effective forward passing significantly amplifies a team’s offensive capabilities, whereas an abundance of passbacks portends an elevated risk of offensive futility.

Previous studies have demonstrated that fluctuations near the steady-state equilibrium of traffic flow can be attributed to the stochasticity of traffic system leading by large vehicle speed dispersion. However, the intrinsic mechanisms between fluctuations of traffic flow and vehicle speed dispersion need further discussion. Therefore, a novel stochastic extended speed gradient model based on the fast-and-low speed vehicles is proposed to describe their relationships in this paper. Firstly, a speed-dependent stochastic process is characterized for the stochastic deviation of velocity dispersion, and a stochastic high-order macroscopic traffic flow model is constructed for fast and low speed vehicles. Secondly, using Lyapunov stability theorem and its derivatives, the linear stability criterion of the proposed model is derived. The theoretical results also indicate that the steady-state equilibrium of traffic flow is profoundly affected by the traffic flow initial density, penetration rate of fast and low speed vehicles, and noise intensity. Hence, simulations are implemented from the above three parameters. It can be found that the critical values of initial density affecting traffic flow stability are pursued, and some detailed tendencies of traffic flow are explored for different parameters. Finally, the model is also calibrated and validated through real data, and the impact of fast-and-low-speed vehicles on traffic instability at ramp-merging area is analyzed. Numerical experiments show that the stochastic traffic flow model proposed in this paper well reproduces the traffic oscillations occurring in real traffic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 115752"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Memristors based on parylene are of special interest due to their promising memristive properties, biocompatibility and ease of production. However, their synaptic behavior has not yet been fully demonstrated. In addition, the previously proposed model of resistive switching (RS) of these memristors was of a qualitative character and therefore important switching nuances turned out to be hidden. In this paper, a phenomenological model of resistive switching in parylene memristors is developed, based on the electromigration of metal cations from the top electrode, taking into account the stochastic nature of the RS process and conductivity of the parylene gap between the filament and the electrode, which determines various resistive states (plasticity) of the structures. The model is confirmed by a good correspondence between the calculated and measured current-voltage characteristics of the memristors. We also demonstrate various forms of bio-inspired plasticity of the structures, such as paired pulse facilitation/depression, long-term potentiation/depression and spike timing/amplitude/width/rate dependent plasticity. In the case of rate-based plasticity it resembles the theoretically and experimentally thoroughly studied BCM plasticity rule.

Motivated by this fact, we introduce a coevolutionary multiplex network model that incorporates the concepts of a relationship threshold and a recommendation mechanism to explore how the strength of relationships among agents interacts with their strategy choices within the framework of weak prisoner’s dilemma games. In the relationship layer, the relationship strength between agents varies based on interaction outcomes. In return, the strategy choice of agents in the game layer is influenced by both payoffs and relationship indices, and agents can interact with distant agents through a recommendation mechanism. Simulation of various network topologies reveals that a higher average degree supports cooperation, although increased randomness in interactions may inhibit its formation. Interestingly, a higher threshold value of interaction quality is detrimental, while the applied recommendation protocol can improve global cooperation. The best results are obtained when the relative weight of payoff is minimal and the individual fitness is dominated by the relationship indices gained from the quality of links to neighbors.
