The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has been widely used for solving separable convex optimization problems. In this paper, by incorporating Nesterov-type extrapolation techniques, we propose two accelerated linearized ADMM schemes for two-block linearly constrained separable convex optimization problems, where each block of the objective function admits a composite structure consisting of a nonsmooth term and a smooth term. The proposed accelerated linearized ADMMs extend two classical Nesterov acceleration methods originally developed for unconstrained composite optimization to the linearly constrained setting. Under the assumption that one block of the objective function is strongly convex and that the gradients of the smooth components are Lipschitz continuous, we establish non-ergodic convergence rates of . Moreover, we show that the proposed methods reduce to accelerated linearized augmented Lagrangian methods (ALMs) when applied to one-block linearly constrained convex optimization problems. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithms.

Vegetation ring formation is a spatial pattern observed in ecosystems influenced by plant-soil negative feedback. Classical integer-order models capture only instantaneous interactions and cannot represent the history-dependent processes shaping these dynamics. To overcome this limitation, we propose a new time-fractional reaction-diffusion problem, that extends the model of Cartenì et al. of 2012 [1], by incorporating memory effects through Caputo derivatives. The system, consisting of coupled fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) for biomass and toxicity, is analyzed for existence and uniqueness of solutions, equilibrium states, and stability in both homogeneous and heterogeneous cases. Since the analytical solution is not available, a numerical approach has been proposed. The numerical experiments illustrate variations in ring formation throughout time and space. The study covers multiple aspects, such as the influence of the fractional derivation index κ on pattern formation, showing that when κ decreases, the biomass spreads over a larger area with fewer oscillations and amplitudes. Moreover, reducing κ has the effect of slowing down the dynamics, requiring more time to reach the equilibrium points, and causes the ring’s width to expand, which shrinks the internal ring diameter until only disks are visible as κ tends to 0.6.

This article investigates the secure containment control problem for switched nonlinear stochastic multi-agent systems (MASs) by using the mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) method. As a class of cyber-physical systems, MASs are vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks, which can greatly degrade the control performance or even influence the stability of controlled systems. By combining the backstepping method, a secure containment control method is developed with the event-triggering mechanism. Based on the connectivity information between communication links, this method eliminates the effects of DoS attacks. In the backstepping recursive design process, the problem of “explosion of complexity” caused by the derivation of virtual control is addressed by introducing a command filter. Additionally, the event-triggering mechanism is designed in the backstepping process to effectively save the communication resources. Then, the event-triggered secure containment control policy is derived to ensure the stability of single follower and MASs under synchronous and asynchronous switchings. The followers led by multiple leaders eventually enter and keep moving in the convex hull composed of leaders. A simulation example demonstrates the effectiveness of the present secure containment control scheme.

This paper focuses on the hydrostatic approximation for the two-dimensional micropolar fluid system in a thin strip domain. We first establish the global well-posedness of a scaled anisotropic micropolar fluid system and the hydrostatic micropolar fluid system in a two-dimensional strip domain, under the assumption that the initial data are analytic and sufficiently small in the tangential variable. We then rigorously justify the convergence from the anisotropic system to the hydrostatic system within the analytic framework.

This article examines the output tracking and disturbance rejection issue of fractional-order Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy switched control systems with state delay, uncertainties, and external disturbance with the assistance of a parallel-equivalent-input-disturbance estimator and a two-dimensional multi-periodic modified repetitive controller. First and foremost, the parallel-equivalent-input-disturbance concept has been laid out with the intention of minimizing the occurrence of disturbance estimation errors, wherein these errors are deemed as artificial disturbances, and an array of equivalent-input-disturbance compensator have been implemented in order to make up for them. Meanwhile, in the framework of proportional integral observer, a variable for relaxation is encompassed, thereby enhancing the precision of the disturbance estimation. Subsequently, by unifying the two-dimensional multi-periodic modified repetitive controller approach with the data gleaned from the proportional integral observer and parallel-equivalent-input-disturbance, cohesive disturbance rejection-based tracking control is built, which ensures effective tracking performance while suppressing the detrimental effects of disturbances on the system. Moreover, in light of Lyapunov stability theory, an adequate set of constraints is derived in terms of linear-matrix inequalities to assure desirable outcomes. Ultimately, numerical simulation results are shown to verify the potency of the offered control scheme.

In this article, we study the pullback asymptotic behavior and the existence of statistical solutions for the coupled lattice system of nonlinear semi-dissipative Schrödinger equations describing a Bose-Einstein condensate with an impurity. Firstly, we prove that the generated evolution process of the solution mappings possesses a pullback attractor which pullback attracts any bounded subset of the phase space with respect to a certain mixed distance. Secondly, we establish that the process possesses a family of invariant Borel probability measures which is a statistical solution of the addressed equations. Our results reveal that the semi-dissipative lattice nonlinear Schrödinger equations satisfy the Liouville theorem, and that the Boson wave function plays the dominant role while the impurity wave function plays the subordinate role in the evolution dynamics. The approaches presented here can be extended to investigate the invariant measures and statistical solutions for other nonlinear semi-dissipative partial differential equations.

That is, in this discrete model, all parameters exhibit periodic changes with period N. We establish the basic reproduction number and the critical wave speed c*. By the upper and lower-solution method and Schauder’s fixed theorem, the existence of periodic traveling wave solutions satisfying specific boundary conditions is established when and c ≥ c*. Additionally, the asymptotic behaviors of traveling wave solutions are given by the asymptotic spreading speed theory. By employing eigenvalue analysis of the linearized system with comparison principles, the non-existence of traveling wave solutions is established when or .

This paper investigates a system governed by the Bingham fluid model with a nonmonotone frictional slip boundary condition and a control constraint set. We first analyze the existence of feasible pairs for the system. Under suitable assumptions, the problem is reformulated as a feedback control system for a subdifferential inclusion. Using the Rothe method, we establish the existence of a solution for the associated operator inclusion involving Clarke’s subgradient and, further, prove its uniqueness. Leveraging Filippov’s and Mazur’s theorems, and convergence analysis, we derive an existence theorem for feasible pairs of the system. Finally, under appropriate hypotheses, we study the Lagrange optimal feedback control problem via a “limiting” argument and prove existence of optimal solutions.

In the transmission of faecal-oral diseases, the infected area does not always expand outward continuously. To model this phenomenon under pulse interventions, this paper proposes a free boundary problem. Our free boundary condition is governed by a nonlocal integro-differential equation, which encompasses the classical Stefan condition as a special case. First, we establish the well-posedness of the proposed problem using parabolic regularity and the contraction mapping principle. We then provide sufficient conditions for vanishing, balancing, or spreading. Finally, three numerical examples validate the theoretical results and demonstrate that this model generates more complex and realistic spatiotemporal dynamics compared to models employing the classical Stefan condition.
