Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Mathematical Modeling of Pulse‐Seeded Metapopulation Dynamics for Andes Hantavirus Border Dispersal
A pulse‐seeded metapopulation SEIR model for Andes hantavirus maritime dispersal shows that heterogeneous quarantine compliance determines secondary outbreak risk. The weakest‐compliance country governs global containment, while uniform compliance above ∼65%$$ \sim 65\% $$ reduces the global reproduction number below unity.

ABSTRACT In this work, we present an extension of the semi‐discrete Lagrangian‐Eulerian numerical scheme for diffusive‐dispersive conservation law problems, including a jump discontinuous flux function. As in the one‐dimensional scalar hyperbolic case, the no‐flow curves also organize the geometry of the method.

Accurate and Efficient Data‐Driven Partitioned Scheme for Coupled Heterogeneous Numerical Models
ABSTRACT Heterogeneous numerical models (HNMs) combine conventional discretization modules such as finite elements with nonconventional data‐driven and reduced‐order modules. HNMs can improve computational efficiency and enable simulations of multi‐physics systems in which one or more constituent components lack first‐principles descriptions and must ...

Rothe Time Discretization and Weak Solutions for a Cutoff Westervelt System
ABSTRACTWe study a fully implicit Rothe time discretization for a cutoff first‐order formulation of the Westervelt equation. The key ingredients are the enthalpy variable and the primitive mobility variable, which turn each nonlinear time step into a uniformly monotone elliptic problem and avoid higher‐order energy estimates and inverse inequalities ...

Approximate Reachability for Feedback Linearizable Systems
The backwards reachable set for a dynamical system is the set of states for which there exists a constraint admissible trajectory that reaches a given terminal set. Conventional grid‐based approaches for computing these sets are intractable for many applications.

Fractal–fractional model for analysis of tuberculosis infection using Ethiopia incidence data
Abstract In this study, a fractional‐order SEIuITR $SE{I}_{u}ITR$ model was proposed to examine the transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in the community. The proposed model was rigorously examined for well‐posedness. The basic reproduction number was also derived, and the disease‐free equilibrium was obtained.
