Trichotomy for Dynamical Systems in Banach Spaces by Codruţa Stoica

“…We construct a framework for the study of dynamical systems that describe phenomena from physics and engineering in infinite dimensions and whose state evolution is set out by skew-evolution semiflows. Therefore, we introduce the concept of ω-trichotomy. …”

Patterns of paternity: insights into mating competition and gene flow in a recovering population of humpback whales by Franca Eichenberger, Emma L. Carroll, Claire Garrigue, Debbie J. Steel, Claire D. Bonneville, Luke Rendell, Ellen C. Garland

“…Paternity analysis of 177 mother–offspring pairs and 936 males revealed low variation in male reproductive success (average 1.17 offspring per father) relative to other polygynous species. The observed skew in success was higher than expected under random mating and skewed overall towards males (93%) without evidence of paternity over the study period. …”

A Covert α-Stable Noise-Based Extended Random Communication by Incorporating Multiple Inverse Systems by Areeb Ahmed, Zoran Bosnic

“…This study introduces a strategy for ensuring covert communication by incorporating inverse systems to design an Extended Random Communication System (ERCS), where the carrier conveying the information is skewed alpha-stable random noise. In contrast to the approach that utilizes a single inverse system to provide covertness through a Random Communication System, this new technique integrates several m th-order inverse systems to transform skewed <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\alpha $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-stable random signals on the transmitting end and the corresponding inverse systems on the receiving end to invert the signals received from the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. …”

Solutions of a Quadratic Inverse Eigenvalue Problem for Damped Gyroscopic Second-Order Systems by Hong-Xiu Zhong, Guo-Liang Chen, Xiang-Yun Zhang

“…Given k pairs of complex numbers and vectors (closed under conjugation), we consider the inverse quadratic eigenvalue problem of constructing n×n real matrices M, D, G, and K, where M>0, K and D are symmetric, and G is skew-symmetric, so that the quadratic pencil Q(λ)=λ2M+λ(D+G)+K has the given k pairs as eigenpairs. …”
