We propose an evolutionary game with dynamics rules derived from the consideration of field observations on human social behavior driven by self-confidence and social imitation. This dynamics turns out to be payoff ...

Evolutionary biologists have long endeavored to document how many species exist on Earth, to understand the processes by which biodiversity waxes and wanes, to document and interpret spatial patterns of biodiversity, and ...

Interest on dynamic multimodal functions risen over the last years since many real problems have this feature. On these problems, the goal is no longer to find the global optimal, but to track their progression through the ...

Recent developments in Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods are focused on models that can learn good policies in non stationary environments, such as multi-agent games, where agents must learn how to react to changes in ...

This paper presents a methodology based on generic evolutionary algorithms to solve a dynamic pickup and delivery problem formulated under a hybrid predictive control approach. The solution scheme is designed to support ...

We study how the complexity of evolutionary dynamics in the classic MacArthur consumer-resource model depends on resource uptake and utilization rates. The traditional assumption in such models is that the utilization rate ...

To address the issue of decision support for designing and managing flexible projects and systems in the face of uncertainties, this paper integrates real options valuation, decision analysis techniques, Monte Carlo ...

Multiple realization occurs when a natural kind is variably realized at more basic levels and the common physical structure of the realizers is not essential for supporting nomological statements. It has been suggested ...

In this work it is proposed an optimized dynamic response of parallel operation of two single-phase inverters with no control communication. The optimization aims the tuning of the slopes of P-ω and Q-V curves so that the ...
