As global carbon neutrality goals drive the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle industry, accurately forecasting its sales has become a critical challenge. This paper proposes a novel fractional reverse accumulated non-equidistant grey time power model. Using fractional and reverse accumulation operators, the proposed model improves forecasting capability and the ability to capture data trends. Furthermore, its non-isometric operator effectively handles non-equidistant time series data. The model’s effectiveness is validated through simulation experiments and multiple practical case studies. Finally, the model is applied to forecast the annual sales of battery electric vehicles in China. The results predict that China’s annual sales of battery electric vehicles are expected to reach between 8.60 million and 9.10 million units by 2026, providing a comprehensive quantitative analysis for assessing market trends.

Automated arrhythmia screening from electrocardiograms (ECGs) has advanced rapidly, yet many accurate systems lack physiological interpretability. We introduce a hybrid, physics augmented pipeline that fuses 50 statistical components from principal component analysis (PCA) with two interpretable, physics informed neural network (PINN) coefficients (c1, c3) estimated per image by minimizing a simplified CLG style partial differential equation residual. The fused 52 dimensional vector is classified by a lightweight multilayer perceptron (128 → 64 → 32, ReLU, softmax). On a patient disjoint held out test set of 1,161 ECG images (class counts: F=161; M/N/Q/S/V=200 each), the hybrid model attains 95.43% accuracy and 95.00% macro F1, outperforming a PCA only baseline (92.59% accuracy; 93.00% macro F1) and a PINN only variant (18.52% accuracy). Per class gains are most pronounced for clinically challenging supraventricular (S) and ventricular (V) ectopic beats (F1: 88% → 92% and 90% → 93%, respectively). One vs rest ROC analysis shows near perfect discrimination (AUC ≈ 1.00 for F/M/N/Q and ≈ 0.99 for S/V), while confusion matrix inspection confirms reduced misclassification within the S↔V pair (net 19 → 18). Qualitative exemplars indicate that c1 (propagation/relaxation) and c3 (damping/cross coupling) inject mechanistic context that complements shape dominant PCA features, aiding separation when morphology alone is ambiguous (e.g., widened QRS supraventricular beats or narrow complex ventricular ectopy). The resulting model is compact, interpretable, and competitive with deeper vision based pipelines, suggesting a practical path toward clinically transparent ECG classification and a template for physics aware learning in biomedical signal analysis.

This study investigates the command filter-based adaptive neural predefined-time output-feedback control issue for nonlinear switched systems with arbitrary switching rule. Radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) are used to estimate uncertain nonlinearities, and a linear state observer is designed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Moreover, an event-triggered mechanism is utilized to alleviate the communication load. Specifically, a command filter technique is applied to tackle the computational complexity arising from the iterative differentiations of the indirect control functions. A command filter-based adaptive neural predefined-time output-feedback control strategy is formulated under the backstepping control framework, integrating the command filter control and the event-triggered mechanism. The developed control strategy guarantees that all the system signals are bounded and the tracking error converges to a little interval near origin within the predefined time. Finally, the simulation experiments reveal the validity of the devised control methodology.

In this paper, we propose a novel singularity- and discontinuity-capturing physics-informed neural network (SDC-PINN) designed to tackle challenging time-fractional diffusion problems characterized by initial singularities and interfaces on complex curved surfaces. The SDC-PINN method incorporates a singularity-capturing feature in the temporal direction at the initial time, alongside a discontinuity-capturing feature in the spatial direction within the neural network input. This approach preserves the inherent properties of the solution, effectively and accurately capturing the solution’s sharpness as well as that of its derivatives at the interface, while adeptly resolving the initial singularity. To further address the initial singularity of the solution, we employ the classical nonuniform L2-1σ scheme in time to approximate the Caputo fractional derivative of the neural network output. Additionally, the proposed network accommodates the use of scattered training points, thereby facilitating the efficient handling of problems on more complex curved surfaces. Numerous numerical experiments are performed to assess the effectiveness and precision of the proposed SDC-PINN.

Optimal consensus of multi-agent systems under stochastic disturbances yields valuable insights into improving collaborative efficiency, resource utilization, and system robustness amidst uncertain environments. This study focuses on achieving optimal consensus in fractional-order multi-agent systems (FOMASs) with additive noises, an emerging research area with significant theoretical and practical implications, which deepens our understanding of system behavior and supports precise modeling and control strategy development. First, we introduce an innovative approach using a frequency distribution model to bridge fractional-order and integer-order systems, deriving sufficient conditions for Lyapunov stability. Second, we establish and address an optimal control problem tailored for stochastic Caputo fractional-order systems, laying the foundation for exploring the balance between control performance and robustness in the presence of stochastic perturbations and fractional-order dynamics. Additionally, we tackle optimal consensus control problems for stochastic FOMASs, providing sufficient conditions for achieving optimal mean square consensus through optimal control strategies and consensus conditions. The complexity of solution expressions is heightened by the presence of random variables. Finally, practical applicability is demonstrated by applying these findings to the distributed circuits and battery circuit equalization problem, thereby expanding the application potential of fractional-order systems in renewable energy.

In this paper, we present a dynamic programming approach for identifying extremal polyomino chains with respect to degree–based indices. This approach provides an explicit recurrence, and a constructive algorithm that enable both the computation of an extremal polyomino chain in linear time with respect to the number of squares, and the enumeration of all maximal configurations. As a main application, we focus on the problem posed in 2016 by characterizing the polyomino chains that maximize the Augmented Zagreb Index (AZI) for any fixed number of squares. The results presented in this paper are aligned with previous contributions, and establish a constructive methodology for solving extremal problems in chemical graph theory. A link to the implementation code is provided in the last section.

We develop a three-player evolutionary model to examine the strategic interactions of government, law-enforcement agencies, and criminal actors in artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced crime systems. Each group adapts its strategy over time: the government chooses between regulating AI or promoting technological innovation; investigators select AI-assisted or traditional detection methods; and criminals opt for AI-enabled or conventional approaches. Using replicator dynamics, we characterize equilibrium strategies and assess their stability. Numerical simulations illustrate the resulting evolutionary trajectories, identifying conditions under which AI-assisted enforcement is effective and those that enable the spread of AI-enhanced criminal activity. To strengthen predictive accuracy, we incorporate multi-agent reinforcement learning with a reward-penalty mechanism, showing that learned behavioral patterns closely align with the analytical stability results.

A graph is called to be d-IC planar if it admits a planar embedding satisfying that each edge crosses at most one other edge and each vertex is incident to at most d crossing edges. A proper vertex coloring of G is dynamic if for every vertex v ∈ V(G) with d(v) ≥ 2, the neighborhood NG(v) contains vertices of at least two distinct colors. Given a list assignment , if there exists a dynamic coloring π of G such that π(v) ∈ L(v), then we say that G is dynamically L-colorable. If G is dynamically L-colorable for any list assignment L with |L(v)| ≥ k for every v ∈ V(G), then G is dynamically k-choosable. In this paper, we prove that every 3-IC planar graph is dynamically 9-choosable.
如果图的每条边最多与另一条边相交,且每个顶点最多与d条相交,则该图被称为d- ic平面。如果对于每个顶点v ∈ v (G)且d(v) ≥ 2,则G的适当顶点着色是动态的,邻域NG(v)包含至少两种不同颜色的顶点。给定一个列表赋值L={L(v)∣v∈v (G)},如果G存在一个动态着色π,使得π(v) ∈ L(v),则我们说G是动态L可着色的。如果对于任意列表赋值L,对于每个v ∈ v (G),当|L(v)| ≥ k时,G是动态可L色的,则G是动态可k选的。本文证明了每一个3-IC平面图形都是动态可选的。

This paper aims to investigate the fixed-time synchronization (FxTS) and preassigned-time synchronization (PTS) of differential-dimensional chaotic systems (DDCS) with stochastic disturbances. Firstly, the FxTS of DDCS with stochastic disturbances is analyzed, and sufficient conditions for achieving FxTS are established, ensuring a less conservative settling time that is independent of the system’s initial states. By tuning the control gains of the FxTS controller, synchronization of DDCS is achieved within a preassigned time. Additionally, the effects of uncertain parameters in DDCS are considered, and both FxTS and PTS are examined by designing an adaptive controller to address stochastic disturbances. Finally, by employing the chaotic financial systems, a series of computational tests are conducted to authenticate the main results.
