This paper investigates the problem of maximizing social power for a group of agents, who participate in multiple meetings described by independent Friedkin-Johnsen models. A strategic game is obtained, in which the action of each agent (or player) is her stubbornness over all the meetings, and the payoff is her social power on average. It is proved that, for all but some strategy profiles on the boundary of the feasible action set, each agent's best response is the solution of a convex optimization problem. Furthermore, even with the non-convexity on boundary profiles, if the underlying networks are given by a fixed complete graph, the game has a unique Nash equilibrium. For this case, the best response of each agent is analytically characterized, and is achieved in finite time by a proposed algorithm.

Educational, online learning has become a common practice due to rapid digitalization and recent global events. This study focuses on developing a comprehensive online learning platform that addresses users' needs by integrating advanced AI capabilities for personalized support and adaptive learning. The platform supports user registration and authentication, course and lesson management, and offers interactive features like AI-driven chat support. In this study, we show the importance of creating user-friendly online learning platforms with the implementation of modern AI trends. The development and testing of this platform is ongoing to determine the adaptation of the system to different learning styles.

Neural connectivity describes how neuron populations coordinate and create cognitive and behavioral functions. Neural connectivity performs dynamics where its population spiking responses to stimuli or intention change over time. Brain-machine interface (BMI) provides a framework for studying dynamical neural connectivity. In BMI, point process is a powerful technique in analyzing the single neuronal tuning. And generalized linear mode (GLM) as an encoding model can incorporate the tuning in kinematics and the neural connectivity. Quantification and tracking of dynamic neural connectivity can contribute to the elucidation of the generation of brain functions in a computational way. However, most of the previous work focused on single neuronal adaptation to kinematics. When a neuron is significantly modulated by some other neurons in some tasks, the shape of the log likelihood function for single neuronal observations can be narrowed in some dimensions. And the existing gradient-based methods are not able to reach the optimum in a fast and adaptive searching way. In this work, to maximize the likelihood of observations and obtain the dynamic neural connectivity tuning parameters, we proposed a conjugate gradient-based encoding model (CGE). We illustrate CGE for likelihood function using the real experimental data under manual control and brain control. The results show that the proposed CGE has better performance in tracking the dynamic neural connectivity tuning parameters and modeling neural *** Relevance— Not directly related.

In this paper we consider the problems of leaderless consensus for networks of fully actuated Euler-Lagrange agents perturbed by unknown additive disturbances. The network is an undirected weighted graph with time delays. The proposed controller has a PD structure that incorporates, in a certainty-equivalent way, the estimate of the unknown disturbance. The design of the disturbance estimator proceeds along the following steps. First, the derivation of a regression equation, that turns out to be nonlinearly parameterized, but with an injective mapping. Second, we propose to use a recently introduced least-squares plus dynamic regressor extension algorithm that allows us to estimate the unknown frequencies imposing extremely weak excitation assumptions. In this way, we derive a sufficient condition on the proportional and derivative gains of the controller to ensure that the systems globally and asymptotically converge to a consensus position.

We show that if a ternary quartic form is convex, then it must be sos-convex;i.e, if the Hessian H(x) of a ternary quartic form is positive semidefinite for all x, then the biquadratic form yT H(x)y in the variables x...
