Second-Order Systems of ODEs Admitting Three-Dimensional Lie Algebras and Integrability by Muhammad Ayub, Masood Khan, F. M. Mahomed

“…We prove that if a system of two second-order ODEs has a three-dimensional solvable Lie algebra, then, its general solution can be obtained from a partially linear, partially coupled or reduced invariantly represented system of equations. A natural extension of this result is provided for a system of two kth-order (k≥3) ODEs. …”

Hyperbolic Graph Convolutional Network Relation Extraction Model Combining Dependency Syntax and Contrastive Learning by Jinzhe Li

“…However, most studies are affected by the noise in the syntactic information automatically extracted by natural language processing toolkits. Additionally, traditional pre-training encoders have issues such as an overly centralized representation of word embedding for high-frequency words, which adversely affects the model to learn contextual semantic information. …”

Spatio-temporal evolution and driving forces of urban gravity centers and ecological security risk gravity centers in China by Peng Chen, Jiaojiao Duan, Yihan Wang

“…The ecological security risk gravity centers are situated closer to the geometric centers. (2) The migration trajectories can be broadly divided into two phases: from 2000 to 2010, the migration distance of the urban gravity centers in larger cities exceeded that in smaller cities, whereas from 2010 to 2020, the overall migration distance was more significant than that from 2000 to 2010. (3) The urban gravity centers and the ecological security risk gravity centers are influenced not only by natural factors such as elevation and terrain fluctuations but also by human factors based on population movement and development, as well as other factors, including infrastructure shifts driven by real-time policies.…”
