Epistemic Causality in Literary Discourse of M. Amis by S. A. Petrenko, A. Ph. Petrenko

“…The contextual analysis of microsituations with the connector because reveals a variety of logical connections between inversely related propositions, as well as in constructions close to paratactic ones. The specificity of the functional capabilities of the conjunction under study is described, which leads the authors to create a classification of epistemic causal relations with the causal conjunction because in English is described. …”

Quasiparticle Solutions to the 1D Nonlocal Fisher–KPP Equation with a Fractal Time Derivative in the Weak Diffusion Approximation by Alexander V. Shapovalov, Sergey A. Siniukov

“…The Fisher–KPP equation is decomposed into a system of nonlinear equations that describe the dynamics of interacting quasiparticles within classes of trajectory-concentrated functions. A key element in constructing approximate quasiparticle solutions is the interplay between the dynamical system of quasiparticle moments and an auxiliary linear system of equations, which is coupled with the nonlinear system. …”

A Generalized Dynamic Potential Energy Model for Multiagent Path Planning by Liu He, Haoning Xi, Tangyi Guo, Kun Tang

“…In this paper, after setting the spatial-temporal simulation environment with large cells and small time segments based on the disaggregation decision theory of the multiagent, we establish a generalized dynamic potential energy model (DPEM) for the multiagent through four steps: (1) construct the space energy field with the improved Dijkstra algorithm, and obtain the fitting functions to reflect the relationship between speed decline rate and space occupancy of the agent through empirical cross experiments. (2) Construct the delay potential energy field based on the judgement and psychological changes of the multiagent in the situations where the other pedestrians have occupied the bottleneck cell. (3) Construct the waiting potential energy field based on the characteristics of the multiagent, such as dissipation and enhancement. (4) Obtain the generalized dynamic potential energy field by superposing the space potential energy field, delay potential energy field, and waiting potential energy field all together. …”
