Foraging Task

Swarm Intelligence which emerges from interactions of simple individuals can be used to solve many problems. The foraging task in ant system is often considered as the prototype of cooperative behavior in Swarm Intelligence. The foraging model in swarm robots which considers the random feature of individual robot is built using the mean field method. Then the conflict between robots which influences the performance is observed. To solve this problem, a modified foraging strategy based on pheromone is proposed. From the simulations in Starlogo platform, it is shown that the modified method can reduces the conflict of robots and increase the performance of the system.

A systematic analysis of the effects of spatial extension on the equilibrium frequency of cooperators and defectors in 2 × 2 games is presented and compared to well mixed populations where spatial extension can be neglected. We demonstrate that often spatial extension is indeed capable of promoting cooperative behavior. This holds in particular for the prisoner's dilemma for a small but important parameter range. For the hawk–dove game, spatial extension may lead to both, increases of the hawk- as well as the dove-strategy. The outcome subtly depends on the parameters as well as on the degree of stochasticity in the different update rules. For rectangular lattices, the general conclusions are rather robust and hold for different neighborhood types i.e. for the von Neumann as well as the Moore neighborhood and, in addition, they appear to be almost independent of the update rule of the lattice. However, increasing stochasticity for the update rules of the players results in equilibrium frequencies more closely related to the mean field description.

Power Law Distributions

Recently much attention has been paid to the nonextensive canonical distributions: the α-families. Such distributions have been found in many real-world systems such as fully developed turbulence and financial markets. In this paper, a generalized mean-field method to approximate the expectations of the α-families is proposed. We calculate the α′-projection of a probability distribution to find that the computational complexity to approximate the expectations is greatly reduced with a proper choice of the projection-index α′. We apply this method to a simple binary-state system and compare the results with direct numerical calculations.

Nucleon Nucleon Interaction

Hartree-Fock calculations for even-even Tin isotopes usingSkyrme density dependent effective nucleon-nucleon interaction arediscussed systematically. Skyrme interaction and the general formulafor the mean energy of a spherical nucleus are described. The chargeand matter densities with their corresponding rms radii and thenuclear skin for Sn isotopes are studied and compared with theexperimental data. The potential energy curves obtained withinclusion of the pairing force between the like nucleons in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach are also discussed.

It is demonstrated that two different methods which have been used in the past to calculate the static properties oflocal moment systems in the mean field approximation are incomplete. A proof is given of the correctness of another method that the author has used in several previous calculations. It is found that some exact and very general relationships exist between the conduction electron magnetization and the local moment magnetization even when it is not valid to treat the interactions between the magnetic atoms by mean field theory.
