Article Abstract
Many optical design programs use various forms of the damped least-squares method for local optimization. In this paper, we show that damped least-squares algorithms, with maximized computational speed, can create sensitivity with respect to changes in initial conditions. In such cases, starting points, which are very close to each other, lead to different local minima after optimization. Computations of the fractal capacity dimension show that sets of these starting points, which lead to the same minimum (the basins of attraction for that minimum), have a fractal structure. Introducing more damping makes the optimization process stable.

Discovering stochastic basin stability from data in a Filippov competition system with threshold control.

Department of Mathematics, Xi'an University of Science and Technology, Xi'an 710054, People's Republic of China.
The existing research studies on the basin stability of stochastic systems typically focus on smooth systems, or the attraction basins are pre-defined as easily solvable regular basins. In this work, we introduce a new framework to discover the basin stability from state time series in the non-smooth stochastic competition system under threshold control. Specifically, we approximate the drift and diffusion with threshold control parameters by an extended Kramers-Moyal expansion with initial state partitioning.

Conflicts within the tsetse fly belt revealed a strong correlation between the dynamics of bovine trypanosomosis and the insurgency involving farmers and herders in Nigeria and parts of West Africa. This study examined the history, causes and influence of farmers-herdsmen conflicts on banditry, terrorism and food security as it relates to the epidemiology of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT). A combination of literature database searches, semi-structured questionnaires, and mathematical modeling was employed.

Tire wear particles (TWP) are one of the main sources of microplastic (MP) pollution in the marine environment, causing adverse effects on marine life and attracting increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of TWP (particles and leachate) and their toxic effects on Brachionus plicatilis. The results showed that Zn and acenaphthene were the most frequently detected compounds in the three TWP treatments.

IGCE-Physics Department, São Paulo State University (UNESP), 13506-900 Rio Claro, SP, Brazil.
The dynamics of the convergence for the stationary state considering a Duffing-like equation are investigated. The driven potential for these dynamics is supplied by a damped forced oscillator that has a piecewise linear function. Fixed points and their basins of attraction were identified and measured.

Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) are important sources of evolutionary innovations. Understanding how evolution navigates the sequence space of such sites can be achieved by mapping TFBS adaptive landscapes. In such a landscape, an individual location corresponds to a TFBS bound by a transcription factor.
