Neuroevolutionary reinforcing learning of neural networks by Y. A. Bury, D. I. Samal

“…The last two are used as the primary method for reducing the dimension of the input signal of the system and simplifying the process of its training in terms of computational complexity.In the presented work, the neural network structure of the control device of the modeled system is formed in the course of the evolutionary process, taking into account the currently known structural and developmental features of self-learning systems that take place in living nature. This method of constructing it makes it possible to bypass the specific limitations of models created on the basis of recombination of already known topologies of neural networks.…”

The Socio-political Dynamics of the Citizen’s Revolution. Political Work as the ‘Art of Serving’ that Separates and Unites State and Society by José Antonio Villarreal Velásquez

“…Drawing on ethnographic research focused on political brokerage or the ‘art of serving’, the article analyses the particularities of political work by analysing the linkages and tensions that are constructed between the population of a suburb of the city of Guayaquil, the members of the governing political party of the Citizen’s Revolution, Movimiento Patria Altiva i Soberana (Alianza PAIS) and State functionaries. …”

Consensus of High-Order Nonlinear Multiagent Systems with Constrained Switching Topologies by Junwei Wang, Kairui Chen, Yun Zhang

“…To reflect communication constraints, the topology is assumed to switch within a finite set of digraphs characterised by an average dwell time switching signal. By constructing a suitable multiple Lyapunov function, we show that consensus can be reached under the designed consensus protocol. …”

Solution of Some Types of Differential Equations: Operational Calculus and Inverse Differential Operators by K. Zhukovsky

“…We present a general method of operational nature to analyze and obtain solutions for a variety of equations of mathematical physics and related mathematical problems. We construct inverse differential operators and produce operational identities, involving inverse derivatives and families of generalised orthogonal polynomials, such as Hermite and Laguerre polynomial families. …”

The Drug-Trafficking Economy and Its Dynamics in Latin America by Daniel Pontón C.

“…It is argued that with an economic understanding of drug trafficking one can capture the true capacity of infiltration and cooptation, analyze the wide variations in the supply and demand of these products and their impact on current dynamics of criminality in Latin America, and, lastly, de-construct several myths surrounding this economy. This opens the possibility for a new methodological framework for designing policies that seek to adapt state controlling, neutralization, and prevention capacities to the new and changing rationalities of the world economy of drug trafficking.…”

Stability Analysis for Markovian Jump Neutral Systems with Mixed Delays and Partially Known Transition Rates by Lianglin Xiong, Xiaobing Zhou, Jie Qiu, Jing Lei

“…The delay-dependent stability problem is studied for Markovian jump neutral systems with partial information on transition probabilities, and the considered delays are mixed and model dependent. By constructing the new stochastic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which combined the introduced free matrices with the analysis technique of matrix inequalities, a sufficient condition for the systems with fully known transition rates is firstly established. …”
