However, structure-function relationships in biological systems, e.g., the human heart, are highly dependent on both connectivity relationships and geometric details. Therefore, this paper presents a new self-organizing approach to derive the geometric structure from a network representation of the heart. We propose to simulate the network as a physical system, where nodes are treated as charged particles and edges as springs and then let these nodes self-organize to reconstruct geometric details. Despite random initiations, this network evolves into a steady topology when its energy is minimized.

Specifically, exploration enables the agents to discover optimal policies in unknown domains of the environment for gaining potentially large future rewards, while exploitation relies on the already acquired knowledge to maximize the immediate rewards. We articulate an approach to this problem, treating the dynamical process of reinforcement learning as a Markov decision process that can be modeled as a nondeterministic finite automaton and defining a subset of states in the automaton to represent the preference for exploring unknown domains of the environment. Exploration is prioritized by assigning higher transition probabilities to these states. We derive a mathematical framework to systematically balance exploration and exploitation by formulating it as a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem to optimize the agent's actions and maximize the discovery of novel preferential states. Solving the MIP problem provides a trade-off point between exploiting known states and exploring unexplored regions. We validate the framework computationally with a benchmark system and argue that the articulated automaton is effectively an adaptive network with a time-varying connection matrix, where the states in the automaton are nodes and the transitions among the states represent the edges. The network is adaptive because the transition probabilities evolve over time. The established connection between the adaptive automaton arising from reinforcement learning and the adaptive network opens the door to applying theories of complex dynamical networks to address frontier problems in machine learning and artificial intelligence.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"34 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766728","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}

Our analysis reveals that increasing the carrying capacity of prey species can lead to both system stabilization and destabilization. We delve into normal forms associated with different bifurcation types, accompanied by numerical examples, observing multistabilities with intricate basin structures. Bistable, tristable, and quadruple attractors characterize the model's multistable states. Additionally, we find that enriching prey species negatively affects predator abundance, and increasing carrying capacity can lead to a sudden jump in predator population to the brink of extinction. Examining the two-parameter space of predator and prey harvesting efforts, we identify organized periodic structures: Arnold tongues and shrimp-like structures within quasiperiodic and chaotic regions. Arnold tongues exhibit a sequence of periodic adding. The shrimp structures indicate the existence of period-doubling and period-bubbling phenomena.

Here, we investigate this model by combining two common features that have been observed in many systems: External periodic forcing and higher-order interactions among the elements. We show that the combination of these ingredients leads to a very rich bifurcation scenario that produces 11 different asymptotic states of the system, with competition between forced and spontaneous synchronization.

By complementing this stochastic approach with the basin fraction of the attractors in the initial conditions space, we can understand the structure of the basins of attraction and how they are intermixed.
