Abstract: As a classic optimization problem, the weapon target assignment (WTA) problem is widely studied. However, existing WTA models are mostly established on single-hit destruction and static hit ...

Abstract: This article introduces an innovative distributed algorithm tailored for achieving predefined-time convergence in addressing time-varying resource allocation problem under directed networks.

Artificial intelligence solves a number of important tasks Over the past few months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have quadrupled their destruction of enemy equipment and supply routes at operational ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

For new discoveries, everyday mysteries, and the science behind the headlines, follow NPR's ShortWave podcast . Over a century ago, the German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler conducted what became a ...

A century ago, a psychologist named Wolfgang Köhler proved that chimpanzees could solve complex problems. He hung a banana high out of reach. The chimps sat, thought, and suddenly stacked wooden boxes ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

Bumblebees are the brainboxes of the insect world, suggests new research. The garden pollinators are able to solve puzzles spontaneously — despite having tiny brains, scientists say. Bumblebees were ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...

This illustration shows an array of integrated antennas developed by MIT researchers (right) that minimizes the unwanted crosstalk that can occur in a standard antenna array (left). This innovation ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...
