Public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on wolf-pack optimization algorithm using DAF and BRS by Dongxing Wang, Gaomin Zhang, Fangbo Wu, Zhiyang Huang, Yiping Chen

“…Firstly, an optimization objective function regarding the public security patrol path planning (S3P-Function) was abstracted from the actual situation; Moreover, this paper proposed an improved wolf-pack optimization algorithm named DAF-BRS-CWOA using Dynamic-Adjustment-Factor(DAF) and Balanced-Raid-Strategy (BRS), and DAF devoted to adjust the overall wolf-pack running strategy by dynamically adjusting the number of airdropped wolves during the stage of Summon-Raid while BRS with symmetric property was to improve both the algorithm’s global exploration as well as the local development capabilities by increasing the number of checking locations, that means not only checking the reverse position of the current wolf, but also the positions generated according to certain rules between the reverse position of the current wolf and the current optimal wolf during the stage of Summon-Raid; Finally, DAF-BRS-CWOA was adopted to optimize S3P-Function, forming a public security patrol path planning recommendation method based on DAF-BRS-CWOA (S3PRM-DAF-BRS-CWOA). 30 independent numerical experiments were conducted on 20 public classical datasets by DAF-BRS-CWOA compared with GA, PSO, WDX-WPOA. …”

Schrödinger Potentials with Polynomial Solutions of Heun-Type Equations by Géza Lévai, Tibor Soltész

“…The present review discusses the solution of the Heun, confluent, biconfluent, double confluent, and triconfluent equations in terms of polynomial expansions, and applies the results to generate exactly solvable Schrödinger potentials. Although there are more general approaches to solve these differential equations in terms of the expansions of certain special functions, the importance of polynomial solutions is unquestionable, as most of the known potentials are solvable in terms of the hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions; i.e., Natanzon-class potentials possess bound-state solutions in terms of classical orthogonal polynomials, to which the (confluent) hypergeometric functions can be reduced. …”
