We consider a convex combination of two classes of Lotka–Volterra operators defined on 2-dimensional simplex. Earlier, the dynamics of a particular case of the considered operators has been investigated. However, its bijective property was not studied. In this paper, we are able to establish that such maps are homeomorphism of the simplex.

In a recent paper (Araya and Harada, 2023), Araya and Harada gave examples of self-dual near-extremal ternary codes of length 48 for 145 distinct values of the number of codewords of minimum weight 12, and raised the question about the existence of codes for other values of . In this note, we use symmetric 2- designs with an automorphism group of order 6 to construct self-dual near-extremal ternary codes of length 48 for 150 new values of .
在最近的一篇论文(Araya and Harada, 2023)中,Araya和Harada给出了长度为48的自对偶近极值三进制码的例子,这些码字的最小权值为12的编号A12的145个不同值,并提出了A12的其他值是否存在码的问题。本文利用6阶自同构群的对称2-(47,23,11)设计,构造了长度为48的自对偶近极值三进制码,用于A12的150个新值。

With multiple time delays, we investigated a Caputo fractional order dynamical system involving susceptible, exposed, infected, and recovered individuals. Positivity and boundedness are also theoretically demonstrated using Laplace transform and Mittag-Leffler function. The stability of the disease-free and epidemic equilibrium points has been studied for both delayed and non-delayed model. For generating numerical solutions to the model system, we used the Adam-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector technique. With the help of MATLAB (2018a), we were able to conduct graphical demonstrations and numerical simulations. The system displays Hopf bifurcation and the solutions are no longer periodic beyond a certain threshold value of the time delay parameters.

A methodology is proposed for identifying brain tumors by dividing the database into four parts. The results obtained from the study of sample specimens for each type of brain tumor showed a high degree of similarity in recognition. This methodology can be applied in healthcare facilities to improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis.

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a widely used, foundational algorithm in data science and machine learning. As a result, analyses of SGD abound making use of a variety of assumptions, especially on the noise behavior of the stochastic gradients. While recent works have achieved a high-degree of generality on assumptions about the noise behavior of the stochastic gradients, it is unclear that such generality is necessary. In this work, we construct a simple example that shows that less general assumptions will be violated, while the most general assumptions will hold.
