First, we review the mathematical model of an NEG, which consists of three ingredients： network graph, fundamental network game, and strategy updating rule. Three kinds of network graphs are considered, which are i） undirected graph for symmetric games; ii） directed graph for asymmetric games, and iii） d-directed graph for symmetric games with partial neighborhood information. Three kinds of fundamental evolutionary games （FEGs） are discussed, which are i） two strategies and symmetric （S-2）; ii） two strategies and asymmetric （A-2）; and iii） three strategies and symmetric （S-3）. Three strategy updating rules （SUR） are introduced, which are i） Unconditional Imitation （UI）; ii） Fermi Rule（FR）; iii） Myopic Best Response Adjustment Rule （MBRA）. First, we review the fundamental evolutionary equation （FEE） and use it to construct network profile dynamics （NPD）of NEGs. To show how the dynamics of an NEG can be modeled as a discrete time dynamics within an algebraic state space, the fundamental evolutionary equation （FEE） of each player is discussed. Using FEEs, the network strategy profile dynamics （NSPD） is built by providing efficient algorithms. Finally, we consider three more complicated NEGs： i） NEG with different length historical information, ii） NEG with multi-species, and iii） NEG with time-varying payoffs. In all the cases, formulas are provided to construct the corresponding NSPDs. Using these NSPDs, certain properties are explored. Examples are presented to demonstrate the model constructing method, analysis and control design technique, and to reveal certain dynamic behaviors of NEGs.展开更多

First, using the matrix semi-tensor product, the robust graph coloring is expressed into a kind of optimization problem taking in an algebraic form of matrices, based on which an algorithm is designed to find all the most robust coloring schemes for any simple graph. Second, an equivalent problem of robust graph coloring is studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed, from which a new algorithm to find all the most robust coloring schemes is established. Third, a kind of examination timetabling is discussed by using the obtained results, and a method to design a practicable timetabling scheme is presented. Finally, the effectiveness of the results/algorithms presented in this paper is shown by two illustrative examples.展开更多

In order to apply semi-tensor product of matrices, a new matrix analysis method and tool, to solve type-2 fuzzy relation equations, a type-2 fuzzy relation is decomposed into two parts as principal sub-matrices and secondary sub-matrices; an r-ary symmetrical-valued type-2 fuzzy relation model and its corresponding symmetrical-valued type-2 fuzzy relation equation model are established. Then, two algorithms are developed for solving type-2 fuzzy relation equations, one of which gives a theoretical description for general type-2 fuzzy relation equations; the other one can find all the solutions to the symmetrical-valued ones. The results can improve designing type-2 fuzzy controllers, because it provides knowledge to search the optimal solutions or to find the reason if there is no solution. Finally some numerical examples verify the correctness of the results/algorithms.展开更多

The states and input symbols are first expressed in vector forms, then the transition function is described in an algebraic form. Using this algebraic representation, a sufficient and necessary condition of the reachability of any two states is proposed, based on which an algorithm is developed for discovering all the paths from one state to another. Furthermore, a mechanism is established to recognize the language acceptable by a finite automaton. Finally, illustrative examples show that the results/algorithms presented in this paper are suitable for both deterministic finite automata （DFA） and nondeterministic finite automata （NFA）.展开更多

It is a general-ization of the conventional matrix product. Meanwhile, it is also closely related to Kronecker (tensor) product of matrices. The purpose of introducing this product is twofold: (i) treat multi-dimensional da-ta; (ii) treat nonlinear problems in a linear way. Then the computer and numerical methods can be easily used for solving nonlinear problems. Properties and formulas are deduced. As an application, the Morgan's problem for control systems is formulated as a numerically solvable problem.展开更多
