This research develops a multi-agent evolutionary game model that integrates dynamic networks, the peer effect strategy update rule, and a dual-game framework including the Prisoner's Dilemma Game (PDG) and the Snowdrift Game (SDG). Unlike previous research that analyzes these elements separately, we systematically examine their synergistic effect on the evolution of cooperation. Through simulations on the Newman–Watts (NW) small-world network and the Barabási–Albert (BA) scale-free network, we reveal a novel cooperation-emergence mechanism: the synergy between network structural adaptation and peer effect substantially accelerates the diffusion of cooperation and stabilizes network evolution. The results reveal that the adjustment of network topology exerts a more significant impact on improving system stability compared with the strategy update, while peer effect provides necessary social reinforcement for cooperative clustering. After stabilization, residual defectors are predominantly isolated nodes, and SDG participants exhibit a higher survival rate. These findings enrich the theoretical understanding of cooperative dynamics in complex systems and offer guidance for promoting cooperation in real-world multi-agent environments.

Complex-valued and quaternion-valued neural networks often struggle with inherently complex, high-dimensional data, such as hyperspectral images, volumetric data, or physical systems with seven degrees of freedom. To tackle these challenges, researchers have looked for a more advanced and expressive model: octonion-valued neural networks. Octonions extend quaternions and are represented as an eight-dimensional number system, providing a rich algebraic structure that enables the modeling and processing of highly multidimensional signals while capturing intricate relationships between components.
In this paper, we propose a class of fuzzy BAM cellular neural networks with mixed delays, where the inputs, outputs, weights, and biases are all octonions. Firstly, we will demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of a -pseudo almost periodic solution using the exponential dichotomy of linear equations, related inequalities, new sufficient conditions, and the contraction mapping fixed point theorem. Secondly, we will establish the -stability of octonion-valued fuzzy BAM cellular neural networks by constructing new Lyapunov functions. Finally, we will provide an example to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our main results. Notably, we will employ the non-decomposition method to obtain the existence, uniqueness, and -stability of octonion-valued fuzzy BAM cellular neural networks.

This study explores the influence of generalized growth rates on the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) in harvested populations. By employing generalized logistic models, such as the Richards and Gompertz formulations, we analytically derive the conditions under which MSY is attained in single-species systems. The analysis is then extended to multi-patch environments with inter-patch dispersal to examine the impact of migration on total MSY. Our key findings show that the MSY in a connected system is always less than or equal to the sum of the MSYs of isolated patches. Moreover, under biologically realistic assumptions, we demonstrate that increasing migration rates between patches leads to a strictly decreasing total MSY. Numerical simulations support the theoretical results, emphasizing that species-specific growth dynamics and spatial connectivity must be jointly considered for effective resource management. These results reveal a fundamental trade-off between ecological connectivity and harvesting potential in spatially structured populations.

In epidemic dynamics, the coupling between information diffusion and disease transmission is profoundly influenced by higher-order interactions. To capture this effect, we propose a higher-order multi-source information confirmation mechanism, which accounts for individuals’ reliance on multiple, mutually reinforcing sources of information when adopting protective behaviors. By employing a Markov chain framework, we derive an analytical description of the coupled dynamics, and validate our theoretical predictions through numerical simulations. Our results reveal that when perceptive nodes strongly attenuate higher-order transmission in the physical layer, the density of perceptive nodes exhibits a nonlinear response to the disease transmission rate—first increasing and then decreasing. Furthermore, higher-order information in the physical layer (layer B) exerts a stronger regulatory effect on disease spreading than that in the information layer (layer A). This cross-layer confirmation of neighbors’ perception and infection states, mediated by higher-order interactions, leads to a lower steady-state infection density in the physical layer and a higher perception density in the information layer compared with a scenario without such multi-source confirmation.

We demonstrate that the balancing self- and cross-phase modulation, four-wave-mixing, and both quadratic, cubic and quartic dispersive effects induces propagating optical vector quartic solitons embedded on a nonzero continuous wave background in weakly birefringent fiber media governed by two-component coherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with higher-order dispersions. Parameter domains are delineated in which these optical solitons exist. The classes of found quartic solitons include bright solitons, dark solitons, bright breathers, W-shaped solitons, bright-dark solitons, bright-dark breathers, combined bright-soliton-W-shaped solitons, and combined bright-breather-W-shaped solitons with nonvanishing amplitudes at infinity. Also, fractional-transform solitons are explored for the model under consideration. Regimes for the modulation instability of a continuous-wave signal propagating inside weakly birefringent fiber media are investigated and an analytic expression for the gain spectrum is obtained and shown to be dependent on the three dispersion orders and nonlinear effects. We further show how the continuous wave background impacts the structure of optical vector quartic solitons in weakly birefringent fiber media. We hope our findings may offer new applications in long-distance telecommunication networks involving higher-order dispersion of the fiber.

The analysis of the time irreversibility of time series has received increasing attention in the last decade, thanks to its potential for understanding the dynamics of normal and altered complex systems. While many metrics and tests have been proposed, these have mostly been focused on real-valued time series, in detriment of the analysis of symbolic sequences. We here present a simple test to assess the time irreversibility of the latter ones, based on a detailed balance evaluation; able to handle individual sequences or collections thereof; and that can further be conditioned to past symbols to extend the time scale of the evaluation. We test the proposed approach on symbolic sequences extracted from synthetic dynamical systems, written texts, and air transport operations. We further provide an open-source version of the test in a Python package.

The persistent existence of mixed traffic flows—consisting of human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs)—poses a significant challenge for future transportation systems. A fundamental but understudied dimension of this heterogeneity resides in the different capacities of CAVs and HDVs to estimate and respond to real-time traffic flux. Therefore, we in this study propose the current optimal flux difference effect (COFDE) as an innovative parameter, incorporating it into a new lattice hydrodynamic model designed for mixed traffic flows. Through rigorous theoretical analysis—including the derivation of linear stability criteria and the mKdV equation—the influence of COFDE on traffic phase transitions is clarified. Supplementary numerical simulations, utilizing density profiles, limit cycles, and spectral analysis, further confirm these theoretical predictions. The findings reveal that COFDE markedly improves the stability and smoothness of heterogeneous traffic flow, effectively alleviating density oscillations and facilitating the achievement of equilibrium states. Notably, the COFDE associated with CAVs possesses a stronger ability to enhance vehicle stability compared to that of HDVs; Additionally, higher CAV penetration rates further boost the overall stability of the traffic system. This work highlights the vital role of information estimation in future traffic management, providing essential insights into the dynamics of mixed-vehicle scenarios and laying a theoretical foundation for advanced control strategies in intelligent transportation systems.

This paper develops an event-triggered fuzzy learning control scheme for robotic manipulators subject to uncertain dynamics and unknown control gains. A novel gradient descent strategy is put forward to balance the trade-off between the event-triggered updating of motor driving signals and tracking performance, by which the control design dependence on prior knowledge from manipulator dynamics is simultaneously alleviated. The constructed gradient descent-based fuzzy learning mechanism improves the approximation accuracy of fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) to uncertain manipulator dynamics. And an error compensating-based command filter design technique is introduced to reduce the computation burden. Lyapunov analysis theory rigorously proves the semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness (SUUB) of the closed-loop system. In the end, a simulation case and some comparison results are illustrated to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed gradient descent-based event-triggered control scheme.

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a coupled network of 5-DOF (Degree of Freedom) Duffing-type micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonators, develops an integrated circuit-based equivalent circuit system, and proposes a prescribed-performance adaptive neural network backstepping controller. Initially, to improve the modal frequency and dynamic range of traditional single or multiple resonators (up to four DOFs), we propose a coupled network consisting of 5 MEMS resonators which mutually couples in a specified layout, and accurately establish the relevant mathematical model. The dynamic analysis reveals how coupling stiffness and excitation amplitude influence the system transitions be-tween periodic and chaotic states. Subsequently, to mitigate risks in the fabrication-stage development of the MEMS chips, a PCB-based platform is constructed to validate the model and define the design boundaries. Furthermore, a prescribed-performance adaptive backstepping control scheme is proposed to simultaneously suppress chaos, guarantee fast preset performance convergence, and achieve high-precision tracking under constraints. In this scheme, an accelerated tracking differentiator not only mitigates the complexity explosion of conventional backstepping but also enhances convergence speed, while an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (IT2FNN) and an improved cubic prescribed performance function (CPPF) are adopted to approximate unknown nonlinearities and constrain tracking errors within predefined bounds, respectively. Finally, comprehensive simulation results demonstrate the scheme's feasibility, robustness, and superior performance.
