Klann and Ramlau [16] hypothesized fractional Tikhonov regularization as an interpolation between generalized inverse and Tikhonov regularization. In fact, fractional schemes can be viewed as a generalization of the Tikhonov scheme. One of the motives of this work is the major pitfall of the a priori parameter choice rule, which primarily relies on source conditions that are often unknown. It necessitates the need for advocating a data-driven approach (a posteriori choice strategy). We briefly overview fractional scheme in learning theory and propose a modified Engl type [9] discrepancy principle, thus integrating supervised learning into the field of inverse problems. In due course of the investigation, we effectively explored the relation between learning from examples and the inverse problems. We demonstrate the regularization properties and establish the convergence rate of this scheme. Finally, the theoretical results are corroborated using two well known examples in learning theory.

This paper investigates data-driven learning techniques for fractional chaotic systems (FCS), specifically those utilizing the Caputo derivative. Three machine learning (ML) methods are employed for parameter estimation: feedforward neural networks (FNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent units (GRU). Optimization problems are formulated, and the well-known algorithms, Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) and Adam, are employed to train the weights and parameters of the ML models. Systematic numerical testing reveals that LSTM demonstrates superior recognition performance for undisturbed data, while GRU achieves higher accuracy in the presence of disturbances. This study presents a highly accurate approach for solving parameter inverse problems, with the potential for extending these methods to other fractional systems.

The event-triggered adaptive control issue for a class of nonlinearly parameterized higher-order systems with sensor fault is investigated in this article. The difficulty lies in how to replace the actual signal with the sensor fault output signal for control design and how to use adaptive technology to deal with the resulting uncertainties and the inherent unstructured uncertainties of the system at the same time. By introducing subtle state transformations, revamping integral Lyapunov-functions and combining parameter separation technology, we successfully deal with the uncertainties and sensor fault existing in the system by constructing a continuous adaptive event-triggered controller. Different from the existing results, the controller designed in this paper by means of state feedback and event-triggered mechanism ensures all signals are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and the theoretical analysis also shows that Zeno phenomenon does not exist. Finally, the control effect is tested by selecting two simulation examples reasonably.

This article centers around the octonion wavelet transform, exploring its transformation function derived from the admissible octonionic mother wavelet ψ, incorporating translation, rotation, and dilation components. We establish the inverse transform and the Plancherel formula, unveiling the inner product relationship of transformed functions. The Uncertainty Principle for the octonion wavelet transform reveals inherent bounds in wavelet analysis within the octonionic framework. However, it is essential to note that these discoveries are specific to the alternative properties of octonions and cannot be extended to general Cayley-Dickson algebras, where the sedenion wavelet transform lacks the isometry property observed in the octonionic setting.

For , let , the Euler operator of the quadratic functional where D is the first derivative operator. Given arbitrary values to be interpolated at a finite knot-set, we prove the existence of a unique L-spline interpolant from the natural space of functions f, for which the functional is finite. The natural L-spline interpolant satisfies adjoint differential conditions outside and at the end points of the interval spanned by the knot-set, and it is in fact the unique minimizer of the functional, subject to the interpolation conditions. This extends the approach by Bejancu (2011) for , corresponding to Sobolev spline (or Matérn kernel) interpolation. For , which is the special case of tension splines, our natural L-spline interpolant with adjoint end conditions can be identified as an “-spline interpolant in ” (for , ), previously studied by Le Méhauté and Bouhamidi (1992) via reproducing kernel theory. Our L-spline error analysis, confirmed by numerical tests, is improving on previous convergence results for such tension splines.

In this paper, our purpose is to obtain the general solutions of several kinds of Volterra singular integral equations (VSIEs) in the class of differentiable functions. By constructing some operators and using the properties of integral transforms and conformal mappings, we transform VSIEs in the class of differentiable functions into the Riemann-Hilbert problems with discontinuity on a circle. By means of the principle of analytic continuation and Sokhotski-Plemelj formula, we obtain solutions of Riemann-Hilbert problems in the case of non-normal type, and further discuss the asymptotic properties of the solutions at the nodes.

In this paper, we present a Nyström-type method for the numerical solution of a class of nonlinear highly oscillatory Volterra integral equations with a trigonometric kernel. The implementation of this method leads to a nonlinear system that involves oscillatory integrals, which is then addressed using a two-point generalized quadrature rule to construct a fully discretized scheme. The error analysis of the method, in terms of both frequency and step length, is also presented. It is demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms the one recently introduced in the literature. To validate the method, several numerical examples are provided, confirming its efficiency and accuracy.

A graph G is called weakly f-degenerate with respect to a function f from to the non-negative integers, if every vertex of G can be successively removed through a series of valid Delete and DeleteSave operations. The weak degeneracy is defined as the smallest integer d for which G is weakly d-degenerate, where d is a constant function. It was demonstrated that one plus the weak degeneracy can act as an upper bound for list-chromatic number and DP-chromatic number. Let if , and if . In this paper, we prove that for every -minor free graph G, , which implies that is -choosable and -DP-colorable. This work generalizes the result obtained by Lih et al. in [Discrete Mathematics, 269 (2003), 303-309] and Hetherington et al. in [Discrete Mathematics, 308 (2008), 4037-4043].
