Levy flights are not evolved behavior
Nature Precedings, 2011 AbstractTracks of moving animals have many short moves interspersed with longer moves, and frequencies of all moves together often indicate Levy flights (a type of power law)^1^. The Levy flight foraging hypothesis suggests that, 'since Levy flights and walks can optimize search efficiencies, therefore natural selection should have led to adaptations ...

The Lévy Flight of Cities: Analyzing Social-Economical Trajectories with Auto-Embedding
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022 Lévy flights are useful in stochastic measurement, such as biology, human mobility, and financial mathematics, where trajectories contain many short flights and some long flights, and the step-lengths follow a power-law distribution. For cities inhabited

Dynamics of confined Levy flights in terms of (Levy) semigroups
, 2011 The master equation for a probability density function (pdf) driven by Lévy noise, if conditioned to conform with the principle of detailed balance, admits a transformation to a contractive strongly continuous semigroup dynamics. Given a priori a functional form of the semigroup potential, we address the ground-state reconstruction problem for generic ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

U.S. Agriculture, Biofuel Markets, and Trade: Challenges and Opportunities
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using an enhanced Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP‐BIO), this study assesses how the expansion in demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the reduction in exports of agricultural products induced by trade disputes negatively affect US agriculture.

Levy Flights Over Quantum Paths [PDF]
Volume 1: 20th Biennial Conference on Mechanical Vibration and Noise, Parts A, B, and C, 2005 An impact of integration over the paths of the Le´vy flights on the quantum mechanical kernel has been studied. Analytical expression for a free particle kernel has been obtained in terms of the Fox H-function. A new equation for the kernel of a partical in the box has been found.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes significant mental and physical distress, yet only a small subset of individuals exposed to trauma develop the disorder. Scientists and clinicians are still unable to predict who will get the disorder or how it will manifest.

Levy Flights in Metaheuristics Optimization Algorithms – A Review
Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2018 In recent years, Levy flight (LF) is increasingly being employed as search mechanism in metaheuristics optimization algorithms (MOA) to solve complex real world problems. LF-based algorithms are found to exhibit superior or equivalent results to their non-LF counterparts and are expected to be advantageous in situations where no prior information is ...
