The problem of inverting dynamic complex matrices remains a central and intricate challenge that has garnered significant attention in scientific and mathematical research. The zeroing neural network (ZNN) has been a notable approach, utilizing time derivatives for real-time solutions in noiseless settings. However, real-world disturbances pose a significant challenge to a ZNN’s convergence. We design an accelerated dual-integral structure zeroing neural network (ADISZNN), which can enhance convergence and restrict linear noise, particularly in complex domains. Based on the Lyapunov principle, theoretical analysis proves the convergence and robustness of ADISZNN. We have selectively integrated the SBPAF activation function, and through theoretical dissection and comparative experimental validation we have affirmed the efficacy and accuracy of our activation function selection strategy. After conducting numerous experiments, we discovered oscillations and improved the model accordingly, resulting in the ADISZNN-Stable model. This advanced model surpasses current models in both linear noisy and noise-free environments, delivering a more rapid and stable convergence, marking a significant leap forward in the field.

The aim of this work is to investigate the properties and classification of an interesting class of 4-dimensional 3-Hom-Lie algebras with a nilpotent twisting map and eight structure constants as parameters. Derived series and central descending series are studied for all algebras in this class and are used to divide it into five non-isomorphic subclasses. The levels of solvability and nilpotency of the 3-Hom-Lie algebras in these five classes are obtained. Building upon that, all algebras of this class are classified up to Hom-algebra isomorphism. Necessary and sufficient conditions for multiplicativity of general -dimensional n-Hom-Lie algebras, as well as for algebras in the considered class, are obtained in terms of the structure constants and the twisting map. Furthermore, for some algebras in this class, it is determined whether the terms of the derived and central descending series are weak subalgebras, Hom-subalgebras, weak ideals, or Hom-ideals.

A simple dynamic system with dry friction is studied theoretically and numerically. Models of systems including dry friction are not easily obtained, as defining the relationship between the friction force and the relative velocity presents a significant challenge. It is known that friction forces exhibit notable discontinuities when there is a change in the direction of motion. Additionally, when the relative motion ceases, the friction force can assume any value within a certain range. In the literature, numerous models of dry friction are presented, and most of them assume a biunivocal dependency of the friction force with respect to relative velocity. The dynamic system considered here is a tilted rod with spherical ends, initially at rest. Dry friction forces are evident at the contact point with the horizontal plane. The ball–plane contact highlights the rolling friction or/and sliding friction. The problem is theoretically solved after adopting one of the two cases of friction: rolling friction or sliding friction. The nonlinear differential equations of motion have been derived, along with expressions for the magnitude of the normal reaction and the friction force. The results of the model are displayed graphically for three different sets of values for the coefficient of friction. It is revealed that there is a critical value of the coefficient of friction that determines the transition from rolling to sliding regimes. To validate the theoretical model, dynamic simulation software was utilised. The excellent match between the theoretical predictions and the results from the numerical simulation confirms the accuracy of the proposed analytical solution.

In this paper, we investigate a class of bilevel programming problems (BLPP) in the framework of Euclidean space. We derive relationships among the solutions of approximate Minty-type variational inequalities (AMTVI), approximate Stampacchia-type variational inequalities (ASTVI), and local -quasi solutions of the BLPP, under generalized approximate convexity assumptions, via limiting subdifferentials. Moreover, by employing the generalized Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz (KKM)-Fan’s lemma, we derive some existence results for the solutions of AMTVI and ASTVI. We have furnished suitable, non-trivial, illustrative examples to demonstrate the importance of the established results. To the best of our knowledge, there is no research paper available in the literature that explores relationships between the approximate variational inequalities and BLPP under the assumptions of generalized approximate convexity by employing the powerful tool of limiting subdifferentials.

In this article, we study the Ricci soliton on slant submanifolds of trans-Sasakian manifolds with a quarter symmetric non-metric connection. Moreover, we derive a lower-bound-type inequality for the slant submanifolds of trans-Sasakian manifolds with a quarter symmetric non-metric connection in terms of gradient Ricci solitons. We also characterize anti-invariant, invariant, quasi-umbilical submanifolds of trans-Sasakian manifolds with a quarter symmetric non-metric connection for which the same inequality case holds. Finally, we deduce the above inequalities in terms of a scalar concircular field on submanifolds of trans-Sasakian manifolds with a quarter symmetric non-metric connection.

We give the Karhunen–Loève expansion of the covariance function of a family of discrete weighted Brownian bridges, appearing as discrete analogues of continuous Gaussian processes related to Cramér –von Mises and Anderson–Darling statistics. This analogy enables us to introduce a discrete Cramér–von Mises statistic and show that this statistic satisfies a property of local asymptotic Bahadur optimality for a statistical test involving the classical hypergeometric distributions. Our statistic and the goodness-of-fit problem we deal with are based on basic properties of Hahn polynomials and are, therefore, subject to some extension to all families of classical orthogonal polynomials, as well as their q-analogues. Due probably to computational difficulties, the family of discrete Cramér–von Mises statistics has received less attention than its continuous counterpart—the aim of this article is to bridge part of this gap.

Economic risk is a probability that measures the possible alterations, as well as the uncertainty, generated by multiple internal or external factors. Sometimes it could cause the impossibility of guaranteeing the level of compliance with organizational goals and objectives, which is why for their administration they are frequently divided into multiple categories according to their consequences and impact. Global indicators are dynamic and sometimes the correlation is uncertain because they depend largely on a combination of economic, social, and environmental factors. Thus, our proposal consists of a model for prediction and classification of multivariate risk factors such as birth rate and population growth, among others, using multiple neural networks and General Type-2 fuzzy systems. The contribution is the proposal to integrate multiple variables of several time series using both supervised and unsupervised neural networks, and a generalized Type-2 fuzzy integration. Results show the advantages of utilizing the method for the fuzzy integration of multiple time series attributes, with which the user can then prevent future threats from the global environment that impact the scheduled compliance process.

While overdispersion is a common phenomenon in univariate count time series data, its exploration within bivariate contexts remains limited. To fill this gap, we propose a bivariate integer-valued autoregressive model. The model leverages a modified binomial thinning operator with a dispersion parameter and integrates random coefficients. This approach combines characteristics from both binomial and negative binomial thinning operators, thereby offering a flexible framework capable of generating counting series exhibiting equidispersion, overdispersion, or underdispersion. Notably, our model includes two distinct classes of first-order bivariate geometric integer-valued autoregressive models: one class employs binomial thinning (BVGINAR(1)), and the other adopts negative binomial thinning (BVNGINAR(1)). We establish the stationarity and ergodicity of the model and estimate its parameters using a combination of the Yule–Walker (YW) and conditional maximum likelihood (CML) methods. Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performances of the proposed estimators across various parameter configurations, and the Anderson-Darling (AD) test is employed to assess the asymptotic normality of the estimators under large sample sizes. Ultimately, we highlight the practical applicability of the examined model by analyzing two real-world datasets on crime counts in New South Wales (NSW) and comparing its performance with other popular overdispersed BINAR(1) models.

In this work, we study some new applications of symmetric quantum calculus in the field of Geometric Function Theory. We use the cardioid domain and the symmetric quantum difference operator to generate new classes of multivalent q-starlike and q-convex functions. We examine a wide range of interesting properties for functions that can be classified into these newly defined classes, such as estimates for the bounds for the first two coefficients, Fekete–Szego-type functional and coefficient inequalities. All the results found in this research are sharp. A number of well-known corollaries are additionally taken into consideration to show how the findings of this research relate to those of earlier studies.

In this paper, we present a numerical investigation into elucidating the complex dynamics of Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) phenomena initiated by the interaction of shock waves with forward-triangular light gas bubbles. The triangular bubble is filled with neon, helium, or hydrogen gas, and is surrounded by nitrogen gas. Three different shock Mach numbers are considered: and 1.41. For the numerical simulations, a two-dimensional system of compressible Euler equations for two-component gas flows is solved by utilizing the high-fidelity explicit modal discontinuous Galerkin technique. For validation, the numerical results are compared with the existing experimental results and are found to be in good agreement. The numerical model explores the impact of the Atwood number on the underlying mechanisms of the shock-induced forward-triangle bubble, encompassing aspects such as flow evolution, wave characteristics, jet formation, generation of vorticity, interface features, and integral diagnostics. Furthermore, the impacts of shock strengths and positive Atwood numbers on the flow evolution are also analyzed. Insights gained from this numerical perspective enhance our understanding of RM phenomena triggered by forward-triangular light gas bubbles, with implications for diverse applications in engineering, astrophysics, and fusion research.

This paper continues the study of second-order signature properties—the characterization of the extreme 3-uniform hypergraph. Previously, bases were used to count extreme 3-uniform hypergraphs. However, the algorithm using this mechanism is extremely labor-intensive. The structure of the signature allows us to use it as a more efficient basis for the same problem. Here, we establish the nature of the mutual correspondence between the kind of second-order signature and extreme hypergraphs, and we present a new algorithm to find the power of the set of extreme 3-uniform hypergraphs through the set of their characteristic-signatures. New results obtained with the proposed tool are also presented.

The growth optimizer (GO) is a novel metaheuristic algorithm designed to tackle complex optimization problems. Despite its advantages of simplicity and high efficiency, GO often encounters localized stagnation when dealing with discretized, high-dimensional, and multi-constraint problems. To address these issues, this paper proposes an enhanced version of GO called CODGBGO. This algorithm incorporates three strategies to enhance its performance. Firstly, the Circle-OBL initialization strategy is employed to enhance the quality of the initial population. Secondly, an exploration strategy is implemented to improve population diversity and the algorithm’s ability to escape local optimum traps. Finally, the exploitation strategy is utilized to enhance the convergence speed and accuracy of the algorithm. To validate the performance of CODGBGO, it is applied to solve the CEC2017, CEC2020, 18 feature selection problems, and 4 real engineering optimization problems. The experiments demonstrate that the novel CODGBGO algorithm effectively addresses the challenges posed by complex optimization problems, offering a promising approach.

We develop a new Kantorovich-like convergence analysis of Newton-type methods to solve nonsingular and singular nonlinear equations in Banach spaces. The outer or generalized inverses are exchanged by a finite sum of linear operators making the implementation of these methods easier than in earlier studies. The analysis uses relaxed generalized continuity of the derivatives of operators involved required to control the derivative and on real majorizing sequences. The same approach can also be implemented on other iterative methods with inverses. The examples complement the theory by verifying the convergence conditions and demonstrating the performance of the methods.

Overproduction is one of the most significant wastes of Lean that can occur in any manufacturing company. Identifying and prioritizing failures that lead to overproduction are crucial tasks for operational managers and engineers. Therefore, this paper presents a new approach for determining the priority of failures that cause overproduction, based on an intuitionistic fuzzy Multi-Criteria Optimization model and the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis framework. The existing vagueness in the relative importance of risk factors and their values is described using natural language words, which are modeled with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Determining the relative importance of risk factors is defined as a fuzzy group decision-making problem, and the weight vector is obtained by applying the proposed Analytical Hierarchy Process with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The compromise solution, as well as the stability check of the obtained compromise solution, is achieved using the proposed Multi-Criteria Optimization and Compromise Solution with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The proposed model was applied to data collected from a process manufacturing company.

The purpose of this article is to present some new nonlinear retarded integral inequalities which can be utilized to study the existence, stability, boundedness, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solutions of nonlinear retarded integro-differential equations, and these inequalities can be used in the symmetrical properties of functions. These inequalities also generalize some former famous inequalities in the literature. Two examples as applications will be provided to demonstrate the strength of our inequalities in estimating the boundedness and global existence of the solution to initial value problems for nonlinear integro-differential equations and differential equations which can be seen in graphs. This research work will ensure opening new opportunities for studying nonlinear dynamic inequalities on a time-scale structure of a varying nature.
