In this work, a known Eddy Current (EC) model is adapted to characterize subsurface defects in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates intended for the civil aerospace industry. The considered defects include delaminations, microcracks, porosit...

Two-wheeled mobile robots with deformed wheels face low stability when climbing steps, and their success rate in overcoming steps is affected by the trajectory. To address these challenges, we propose an improved hybrid genetic and adaptive particle...

This study investigates the effectiveness of Transformer-based models for retail demand forecasting. We evaluated vanilla Transformer, Informer, Autoformer, PatchTST, and temporal fusion Transformer (TFT) against traditional baselines like AutoARIMA...

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the applicability and performance of two prominent growth models, namely, the Verhulst model and the Montroll model, in the context of modeling tumor cell growth dynamics. Leveraging the power of...

The susceptible–infected–recovered–vaccinated–deceased (SIRVD) epidemic compartment model extends the SIR model to include the effects of vaccination campaigns and time-dependent fatality rates on epidemic outbreaks. It encomp...

In the survey Kiryakova: “A Guide to Special Functions in Fractional Calculus” (published in this same journal in 2021) we proposed an overview of this huge class of special functions, including the Fox H-functions, the Fox–Wright g...
