In this paper we construct two limit cycles with a heteroclinic polycycle for the three-dimensional continuous model of the rock–scissors–paper (RSP) game between bacteriocin producing bacteria. Our construction gives a partial answer to an open question posed by Neumann and Schuster (2007) concerning how many limit cycles can coexist for the RSP game. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this short note we indicate some improvement of an article published in this journal by Crespo, Ivorra and Ramos 6. The techniques used are connected with several smoothing effects associated with linear partial differential operators which give rise to some accretive operators in L¹(Ω), as well as with some H²(Ω) estimates independent on time.

The filled function method is a deterministic algorithm for finding a global minimizer of global optimization problems, and its effectiveness is closely related to the form of the constructed filled function. Currently, the filled functions mainly have three drawbacks in form, namely, parameter adjustment and control (if any), inclusion of exponential or logarithmic functions, and properties that are discontinuous and non-differentiable. In order to overcome these limitations, this paper proposed a parameter-free filled function that does not include exponential or logarithmic functions and is continuous and differentiable. Based on the new filled function, a filled function method for solving unconstrained global optimization problems was designed. The algorithm selected points in the feasible domain that were far from the global minimum point as initial points, and improved the setting of the step size in the stage of minimizing the filled function to enhance the algorithm’s global optimization capability. In addition, tests were conducted on 14 benchmark functions and compared with existing filled function algorithms. The numerical experimental results showed that the new algorithm proposed in this paper was feasible and effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to research uniform continuity of fractal interpolation surface function on a closed rectangular area, the accumulation principle was applied to prove uniform continuity of fractal interpolation surface function on a closed rectangular area. First, fractal interpolation surface function was constructed by affine mapping. Second, the continuous concept of fractal interpolation surface function at a planar point in a three-dimensional cartesian coordinate space system and uniform continuity of fractal interpolation surface function on a closed rectangular area were defined in the paper. Finally, the uniformly continuous theorem of fractal interpolation surface function was proven through accumulation principle in the paper. The conclusion showed that fractal interpolation surface was uniformly continuous function on a closed rectangular area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates models of working memory in which memory traces evolve according to stochastic attractor dynamics. These models have previously been shown to account for response-biases that are manifest across multiple trials of a visual working memory task. Here we adapt this approach by making the stable fixed points correspond to the multiple items to be remembered within a single-trial, in accordance with standard dynamical perspectives of memory, and find evidence that this multi-item model can provide a better account of behavioural data from continuous-report tasks. Additionally, the multi-item model proposes a simple mechanism by which swap-errors arise: memory traces diffuse away from their initial state and are captured by the attractors of other items. Swap-error curves reveal the evolution of this process as a continuous function of time throughout the maintenance interval and can be inferred from experimental data. Consistent with previous findings, we find that empirical memory performance is not well characterised by a purely-diffusive process but rather by a stochastic process that also embodies error-correcting dynamics.

In this paper, we study a method of polynomial interpolation that lies in-between Lagrange and Hermite methods. The novelty is that we use very general nodal systems on the unit circle as well as on the bounded interval only characterized by a separation property. The way in which we interpolate consists in considering all the nodes for the prescribed values and only half for the derivatives. Firstly, we develop the theory on the unit circle, obtaining the main properties of the nodal polynomials and studying the convergence of the interpolation polynomials corresponding to continuous functions with some kind of modulus of continuity and with general conditions on the prescribed values for half of the derivatives. We complete this first part of the paper with the study of the convergence for smooth functions obtaining the rate of convergence, which is slightly slower than that when equidistributed nodal points are considered. The second part of the paper is devoted to solving a similar problem on the bounded interval by using nodal systems having good properties of separation, generalizing the Chebyshev–Lobatto system, and well related to the nodal systems on the unit circle studied before. We obtain an expression of the interpolation polynomials as well as results about their convergence in the case of continuous functions with a convenient modulus of continuity and, particularly, for differentiable functions. Finally, we present some numerical experiments related to the application of the method with the nodal systems dealt with. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the subject paper, a new set of sensitivity indices for multivariate outputs are defined when the uncertainty on the input factors is either discrete or continuous and when the dynamic model is either discrete or functional. Admittedly, these indices can quantify the contribution of each input factor to each principal component and the total inertia reasonably, and provide rich information on dynamic model behaviour. However, Propositions 2–4 in the subject paper which claim that the generalized sensitivity index is equal to the sensitivity index defined on the sum of the principal components are not correct. These incorrect propositions are concluded by the incorrect derivation in the Appendices B and C of the subject paper. This discussion intends to clarify this issue associated with the paper.

AUTONOMOUS vehicles ,NONLINEAR functions ,CONTINUOUS functions ,AUTOMOBILE steering gear - Abstract
The antidisturbance control problem of autonomous vehicle path tracking considering lateral stability is studied in this paper. This paper proposes an improved active disturbance rejection control (IADRC) control method including an improved extended state observer (IESO) and an error compensator based on LQR, where a new continuous nonlinear function is proposed in the IESO instead of the classical piecewise function. Based on the IADRC, an autonomous vehicle path-tracking controller considering lateral stability is designed. Using the output wheel steering angle and external yaw moment, the IESO estimates the disturbance value and compensates for the disturbance in the feedback to meet the goal of antidisturbance control. Based on the concept of control allocation (CA), the control distributor is designed to distribute the external yaw moment to the four wheels in a reasonable and optimal way to achieve differential braking. Finally, the control scheme is evaluated in the form of CarSim/Simulink cosimulation; the results show that the proposed autonomous vehicle path-tracking control scheme has better path-tracking effect and higher antidisturbance robustness.

The famous Ascoli-Arzelà theorem served as a springboard for research into compactness in function spaces, particularly spaces of continuous functions. This paper investigates compact subsets of spaces of continuous functions endowed with topologies between the topology of pointwise convergence and the topology of uniform convergence. More precisely, this paper studies necessary and sufficient conditions for a subset to be compact in C

In this paper, various tensorial inequalities of trapezoid type were obtained. Identity from classical analysis is utilized to obtain the tensorial version of the said identity which in turn allowed us to obtain tensorial inequalities in Hilbert space. The continuous functions of self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces have several tensorial norm inequalities discovered in this study. The convexity features of the mapping f lead to the variation in several inequalities of the trapezoid type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering that the existing path planning algorithms for mobile robots under rugged terrain do not consider the ground flatness and the lack of optimality, which leads to the instability of the center of mass of the mobile robot, this paper proposes an improved A* algorithm for mobile robots under rugged terrain based on the ground accessibility model and the ground ruggedness model. Firstly, the ground accessibility and ruggedness models are established based on the elevation map, expressing the ground flatness. Secondly, the elevation cost function that can obtain the optimal path is designed based on the two types of models combined with the characteristics of the A* algorithm, and the continuous cost function is established by connecting with the original distance cost function, which avoids the center-of-mass instability caused by the non-optimal path. Finally, the effectiveness of the improved algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment. The results show that compared with the existing commonly used path planning algorithms under rugged terrain, the enhanced algorithm improves the smoothness of paths and the optimization degree of paths in the path planning process under rough terrain.

The present paper is devoted to the study of the following double-phase equation - div (| ∇ u | p - 2 ∇ u + μ ε (x) | ∇ u | q - 2 ∇ u) + V ε (x) (| u | p - 2 u + μ ε (x) | u | q - 2 u) = f (u) in R N , where N ≥ 2 , 1 < p < q < N , q < p ∗ with p ∗ = Np N - p , μ : R N → R is a continuous non-negative function, μ ε (x) = μ (ε x) , V : R N → R is a positive potential satisfying a local minimum condition, V ε (x) = V (ε x) , and the nonlinearity f : R → R is a continuous function with subcritical growth. Under natural assumptions on μ , V and f, by using penalization methods and Lusternik–Schnirelmann theory we first establish the multiplicity of solutions, and then, we obtain concentration properties of solutions.

The classical Rolle's theorem establishes the existence of (at least) one zero of the derivative of a continuous one-variable function on a compact interval in the real line, which attains the same value at the extremes, and it is differentiable in the interior of the interval. In this paper, we generalize the statement in four ways. First, we provide a version for functions whose domain is in a locally convex topological Hausdorff vector space, which can possibly be infinite-dimensional. Then, we deal with the functions defined in a real interval: we consider the case of unbounded intervals, the case of functions endowed with a weak derivative, and, finally, we consider the case of distributions over an open interval in the real line.

This paper discusses the existence of positive radial symmetric solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation ▵ 2 u = f (u , ▵ u) on an annular domain Ω in R N with the Navier boundary conditions u | ∂ Ω = 0 and ▵ u | ∂ Ω = 0 , where f : R + × R − → R + is a continuous function. We present some some inequality conditions of f to obtain the existence results of positive radial symmetric solutions. These inequality conditions allow f (ξ , η) to have superlinear or sublinear growth on ξ , η as | (ξ , η) | → 0 and ∞. Our discussion is mainly based on the fixed-point index theory in cones.

Through galleries of graphs and short filmstrips, this paper aims to sharpen students' eyes for visually recognizing continuous functions. It seeks to develop intuition for what visual features of a graph continuity does and does not allow for. We have found that even students who can work correctly with rigorous definitions may not be able to recognize a continuous function from its graph. To help mitigate this problem, these visuals can be used alongside the definitions in analysis courses, and in calculus courses where the same definitions are used. The content is arranged into a series of pictures accompanied by questions, with suggestions for the instructor on how to guide students in their learning. The design allows students to make their own discoveries and connections. The investigations crescendo to a surprising fact: that almost all continuous functions are differentiable nowhere!

FRACTAL dimensions ,REAL numbers ,CONTINUOUS functions ,FRACTALS ,FRACTAL analysis - Abstract
This paper attempts to explore possible box dimension of two added fractal continuous functions with the same dimension. Two interesting and meaningful results are obtained. Let g(x) and h(x) have the same box dimension t (1 < t ≤ 2), the box dimension of g(x) + h(x) may or may not exist. If it exists, it can take an arbitrary real number γ satisfying 1 < γ ≤ t. If it does not exist, its lower and upper box dimensions can reach arbitrary different real numbers t
1 and t2 that satisfy 1 < t1 < t2 < t ≤ 2. These unexpected conclusions drive us to probe into the characteristics of collection of all fractal continuous functions with the same box dimension under ordinary linear operations (scalar multiplication and addition). Following the known fractal features of some typical fractal functions such as the Weierstrass function Wt (x), we classify the fractal functions into three types: consistent fractal functions, non-consistent fractal functions, and simple fractal functions. By utilizing these classifications and fractal feature descriptions, the causality of the box dimension of two added fractal functions can be partially revealed. We hope that these initial superficial discussions will lead deeper consideration on the essence of variants of fractal dimension under linear combinations of fractal functions. Moreover, these fractal features may be applied further in other fields of fractals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

DIGITAL signal processing ,ORTHOGONAL polynomials ,APPLIED sciences ,CONTINUOUS functions ,ABSOLUTE value - Abstract
In this paper, an analytical exact form of the ramp function is presented. This seminal function constitutes a fundamental concept of the digital signal processing theory and is also involved in many other areas of applied sciences and engineering. In particular, the ramp function is performed in a simple manner as the pointwise limit of a sequence of real and continuous functions with pointwise convergence. This limit is zero for strictly negative values of the real variable x , whereas it coincides with the independent variable x for strictly positive values of the variable x . Here, one may elucidate beforehand that the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions can constitute a discontinuous function, on the condition that the convergence is not uniform. The novelty of this work, when compared to other research studies concerning analytical expressions of the ramp function, is that the proposed formula is not exhibited in terms of miscellaneous special functions, e.g., gamma function, biexponential function, or any other special functions, such as error function, hyperbolic function, orthogonal polynomials, etc. Hence, this formula may be much more practical, flexible, and useful in the computational procedures, which are inserted into digital signal processing techniques and other engineering practices.

Global optimization is widely adopted presently in a variety of practical and scientific problems. In this context, a group of widely used techniques are evolutionary techniques. A relatively new evolutionary technique in this direction is that of Giant-Armadillo Optimization, which is based on the hunting strategy of giant armadillos. In this paper, modifications to this technique are proposed, such as the periodic application of a local minimization method as well as the use of modern termination techniques based on statistical observations. The proposed modifications have been tested on a wide series of test functions available from the relevant literature and compared against other evolutionary methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper probes into change of box dimension for an arbitrary fractal continuous function after Hadamard fractional integration. For classic calculus, we know that a function's differentiability increases one-order after integration, and decreases one-order after differentiation. But for fractional integro-differentiation, this similar fundamental problem is still open [F. B. Tatom, The relationship between fractional calculus and fractals, Fractals2 (1995) 217–229; M. Zähle and H. Ziezold, Fractional derivatives of Weierstrass-type functions, J. Comput. Appl. Math.76 (1996) 265–275; Y. S. Liang and W. Y. Su, Riemann–Liouville fractional calculus of 1-dimensional continuous functions, Sci. Sin. Math.4 (2016) 423–438 (in Chinese); Y. S. Liang, Progress on estimation of fractal dimensions of fractional calculus of continuous functions, Fractals26 (2019), doi:10.1142/S0218348X19500841] (see conjecture 1.1), although it is believed that the roughness of a fractal function is increased or decreased accounts α after α -order fractional differentiation or integration. This paper partly answers this problem. Particularly, the estimation of box dimension of Hadamard fractional integral is of methodology for considering similar fractional integration. In this paper, it is proved that the upper box dimension of the graph of f (x) does not increase after α -order Hadamard fractional integral D H − α f (x) , i.e. dim ¯ B Υ (D H − α f , I) ≤ dim ¯ B Υ (f , I). Particularly, while dim B Υ (f , I) = 1 , for example, a function is of unbounded variation and/or infinite length, it holds dim B Υ (D H − α f , I) = dim B Υ (f , I) = 1 , which answers completely this conjecture for one-dimensional fractal function. The published paper could verify Conjecture 1.1 under Riemann–Liouville or Wyel fractional integral, for only constructed functions with one-dimensional fractal [Y. S. Liang and W. Y. Su, Riemann–Liouville fractional calculus of 1-dimensional continuous functions, Sci. Sin. Math.4 (2016) 423–438 (in Chinese); Y. Li and W.

A function g\colon \mathbb {R}^n\to \mathbb {R} is linearly continuous provided its restriction g\restriction \ell to every straight line \ell \subset \mathbb {R}^n is continuous. It is known that the set D(g) of points of discontinuity of any linearly continuous g\colon \mathbb {R}^n\to \mathbb {R} is a countable union of isometric copies of (the graphs of) f\restriction P, where f\colon \mathbb {R}^{n-1}\to \mathbb {R} is Lipschitz and P\subset \mathbb {R}^{n-1} is compact nowhere dense. On the other hand, for every twice continuously differentiable function f\colon \mathbb {R}\to \mathbb {R} and every nowhere dense perfect P\subset \mathbb {R} there is a linearly continuous g\colon \mathbb {R}^2\to \mathbb {R} with D(g)=f\restriction P. The goal of this paper is to show that this last statement fails, if we do not assume that f'' is continuous. More specifically, we show that this failure occurs for every continuously differentiable function f\colon \mathbb {R}\to \mathbb {R} with nowhere monotone derivative, which includes twice differentiable functions f with such property. This generalizes a recent result of professor Luděk Zajíček [On sets of discontinuities of functions continuous on all lines, arxiv.org/abs/2201.00772v1, 2022] and fully solves a problem from a 2013 paper of the first author and Timothy Glatzer [Real Anal.

The paper is devoted to the investigation of problem of approximation of continuous periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials, which are generated by linear methods of summation of Fourier series. The simplest example of a linear approximation of periodic functions is the approximation of functions by partial sums of their Fourier series. However, the sequences of partial Fourier sums are not uniformly convergent over the class of continuous periodic functions. Therefore, many studies devoted to the research of the approximative properties of approximation methods, which are generated by transformations of the partial sums of Fourier series and allow us to construct sequences of trigonometrical polynomials that would be uniformly convergent for the whole class of continuous functions. Particularly, Fej'er sums have been widely studied recently. One of the important problems in this area is the study of asymptotic behavior of the sharp upper bounds over a given class of functions of deviations of the trigonometric polynomials. In the paper, we study upper asymptotic estimates for deviations between a function and the Fej'er means for the Fourier series of the function. The asymptotic behavior is considered for the functions represented by the Poisson integrals of periodic functions of a real variable. The mentioned classes consist of analytic functions of a real variable. These functions can be regularly extended into the corresponding strip of the complex plane. An asymptotic equality for the upper bounds of Fej'er means deviations on classes of Poisson integrals was obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

DYNAMIC programming ,VISCOSITY solutions ,HAMILTON-Jacobi-Bellman equation ,CONTINUOUS functions - Abstract
In this paper we get error bounds for fully discrete approximations of infinite horizon problems via the dynamic programming approach. It is well known that, considering a time discretization with a positive step size h, an error bound of size h can be proved for the difference between the value function (viscosity solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation corresponding to the infinite horizon) and the value function of the discrete time problem. However, including also a spatial discretization based on elements of size k, an error bound of size O(k/h) can be found in the literature for the error between the value functions of the continuous problem and the fully discrete problem. In this paper we revise the error bound of the fully discrete method and prove, under assumptions similar to those of the time discrete case, that the error of the fully discrete case is in fact O(h + k), which gives first order in time and space for the method. This error bound matches the numerical experiments of many papers in the literature in which the behavior 1/h from the bound O(k/h) has not been observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem, any continuous function on the closed and bounded interval can be approximated by polynomials. A constructive proof of this theorem uses the so-called Bernstein polynomials. For the approximation of integrable functions, we may consider Kantorovich operators as certain modifications for Bernstein polynomials. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of Kantorovich operators in Lebesgue spaces. We first give an alternative proof of the uniform boundedness of Kantorovich operators in Lebesgue spaces by using the Riesz-Thorin Interpolation Theorem. In addition, we examine the convergence of Kantorovich operators in the space of essentially bounded functions. We also give an example related to the rate of convergence of Kantorovich operators in a subspace of Lebesgue spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let I ⊆ R be an interval and β : I → I a strictly increasing continuous function with a unique fixed point s0 ∈ I satisfying (t − s
0 )(β(t) −t) ≤ 0 for all t ∈ I. Hamza et al. introduced the general quantum difference operator Dβ by Dβ f(t) := f(β(t))−f(t) /β(t)−t if t 6= s0 and Dβ f(t) := f 0 (s0 ) if t = s0 . In this paper, we establish results concerning Taylor’s formula associated with Dβ . For this, we define two types of monomials and then present our main results. The obtained results are new in the literature and are useful for further research in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The paper defines a new contractive condition within k-orbitally complete fuzzy metric spaces (Θ;M;T), as well as fixed point theorems for single-valued and multi-valued function on Θ which is not necessarily continuous. The contractive condition is motivated by an idea proposed in C' iric's paper "On some maps with a nonunique fixed points". Continuity of mapping k is replaced by k-orbitally continuity property which provides the existence of the fixed point, but not necessarily uniqueness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper mainly discusses the influence of the Weyl fractional integrals on continuous functions and proves that the Weyl fractional integrals can retain good properties of many functions. For example, a bounded variation function is still a bounded variation function after the Weyl fractional integral. Continuous functions that satisfy the Holder condition after the Weyl fractional integral still satisfy the Holder condition, furthermore, there is a linear relationship between the order of the Holder conditions of the two functions. At the end of this paper, the classical Weierstrass function is used as an example to prove the above conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document is an erratum to a paper titled "Components in Meandric Systems and the Infinite Noodle." The erratum acknowledges a missing argument in the proof of Proposition 5 in the original paper. It also refers to Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 from the original paper, which discuss the convergence of random meandric systems and well-parenthesized words, respectively. The document provides equations and a lemma related to these propositions. The erratum concludes by stating that the difference between two equations is the use of the same root in both well-parenthesized words. The document also introduces notation and provides a proof for a swapping lemma. The given text is a proof of Proposition 1, provided by Valentin Féray and Paul Thévenin. The authors use equations and arguments to demonstrate the convergence in expectation and convergence in probability for multiplicative functions. They acknowledge Svante Janson for pointing out an incomplete proof in their original paper. [Extracted from the article]

This paper presents general theoretical studies on asymptotic convergence rate (ACR) for finite dimensional optimization. Given the continuous problem function and discrete time stochastic optimization process, the ACR is the optimal constant for control of the asymptotic behaviour of the expected approximation errors. Under general assumptions, condition ACR < 1 implies the linear behaviour of the expected time of hitting the ε - optimal sublevel set with ε → 0 + and determines the upper bound for the convergence rate of the trajectories of the process. This paper provides general characterization of ACR and, in particular, shows that some algorithms cannot converge linearly fast for any nontrivial continuous optimization problem. The relation between asymptotic convergence rate in the objective space and asymptotic convergence rate in the search space is provided. Examples and numerical simulations with use of a (1+1) self-adaptive evolution strategy and other algorithms are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper works with functions defined in metric spaces and takes values in complete paranormed vector spaces or in Banach spaces, and proves some necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of probability measures. Our main result is as follows: Let X be a complete paranormed vector space and Ω an arbitrary metric space, then a sequence { μ n } of probability measures is weakly convergent to a probability measure μ if and only if lim n → ∞ ∫ Ω g (s) d μ n = ∫ Ω g (s) d μ for every bounded continuous function g: Ω → X. A special case is as the following: if X is a Banach space, Ω an arbitrary metric space, then { μ n } is weakly convergent to μ if and only if lim n → ∞ ∫ Ω g (s) d μ n = ∫ Ω g (s) d μ for every bounded continuous function g: Ω → X. Our theorems and corollaries in the article modified or generalized some recent results regarding the convergence of sequences of measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MULTIAGENT systems ,CAPUTO fractional derivatives ,CONTINUOUS functions - Abstract
The main goal of the paper is to present and study models of multi-agent systems for which the dynamics of the agents are described by a Caputo fractional derivative of variable order and a kernel that depends on an increasing function. Also, the order of the fractional derivative changes at update times. We study a case for which the exchanged information between agents occurs only at initially given update times. Two types of linear variable-order Caputo fractional models are studied. We consider both multi-agent systems without a leader and multi-agent systems with a leader. In the case of multi-agent systems without a leader, two types of models are studied. The main difference between the models is the fractional derivative describing the dynamics of agents. In the first one, a Caputo fractional derivative with respect to another function and with a continuous variable order is applied. In the second one, the applied fractional derivative changes its constant order at each update time. Mittag–Leffler stability via impulsive control is defined, and sufficient conditions are obtained. In the case of the presence of a leader in the multi-agent system, the dynamic of the agents is described by a Caputo fractional derivative with respect to an increasing function and with a constant order that changes at each update time. The leader-following consensus via impulsive control is defined, and sufficient conditions are derived. The theoretical results are illustrated with examples. We show with an example the leader's influence on the consensus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
