Robot path planning based on improved ant colony optimization by XUE Xiang, ZHU Qixin, ZHU Yonghong

“…Firstly, a trend heuristic function was established, makeing the nodes to be selected closer to the line between the starting point and the end point, which plays a certain role in avoiding the local optimization, and the Cauchy distribution function was introduced on the basis of this function, which constantly weakens the influence of the trend heuristic function, and improves the global search ability of the algorithm in the later stage. …”

Discovery of Two Ultra-diffuse Galaxies with Unusually Bright Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions via a Mark-dependently Thinned Point Process (MATHPOP) by Dayi (David) Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, Patrick E. Brown, William E. Harris, Roberto G. Abraham, Pieter van Dokkum, Steven R. Janssens, Samantha C. Berek, Shany Danieli, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Joshua S. Speagle

“…However, standard methods to infer GC counts in UDGs face various challenges, such as photometric measurement uncertainties, GC membership uncertainties, and assumptions about the GC luminosity functions (GCLFs). M athpop tackles these challenges using the mark-dependent thinned point process, enabling joint inference of the spatial and magnitude distributions of GCs. …”
