Multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems have been recognized as unique solutions to
complex dynamic tasks distributed in space. Their effectiveness in accomplishing these …

Advancements in medical technology have created numerous large datasets including
many features. Usually, all captured features are not necessary, and there are redundant …

Collective phenomena occur in nature, technology, and social behavior in a vast variety of
contexts. For example, birds and fish use their sensory abilities to communicate and align …

In this paper, the flocking behavior and targets consensus tracking problems of
heterogeneous multiple inertial agents with limited communication ranges are investigated …

Animals, humans, and multi-robot systems operate in dynamic environments, where the
ability to respond to changing circumstances is paramount. An effective collective response …

In this paper, a novel recombination operator, called adaptive hybrid crossover operator
(AHX), is designed for tackling continuous multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) …

Social interaction increases significantly the performance of a wide range of cooperative
systems. However, evidence that natural swarms limit the number of interactions suggests …

Stochastic consensus problems for linear time-invariant multi-agent systems over Markovian
switching networks with time-varying delays and topology uncertainties are dealt with. By …

Despite decades of theoretical research, the nature of the self-driven collective motion
remains indigestible and controversial, while the phase transition process of its dynamic is a …

Polyelectrolyte-coated nanoparticles consisting of terbium and gadolinium complexes with
calix [4] arene tetra-diketone ligand were first synthesized. The antenna effect of the ligand …
