Quantitative Descriptors of Food-web Matrices
A food web customarily describes the qualitative feeding relationships in a community. Descriptors have been used to extract ecologically meaningful information from such data, e.g., the proportion of top species (the proportion of taxa without consumers) or vulnerability (the average number of consumers per taxon). Analyses of collections of food webs based on these properties have revealed re...
متن کاملConstructing Quantitative Non-Reducible Descriptors
The classical supervised pattern recognition problem is considered. A model of learning Boolean formulas is implemented. A new computational procedure for constructing quantitative non-reducible descriptors is suggested. The proposed procedure has a diminished number of computational operations with respect to the procedure for constructing non-reducible descriptors and allows incremental learn...
متن کاملBenchmarking Successional Progress in a Quantitative Food Web
Central to ecology and ecosystem management, succession theory aims to mechanistically explain and predict the assembly and development of ecological communities. Yet processes at lower hierarchical levels, e.g. at the species and functional group level, are rarely mechanistically linked to the under-investigated system-level processes which drive changes in ecosystem properties and functioning...
متن کاملQuantitative simulations by matrices
We introduce notions of simulation between semiring-weighted automata as models of quantitative systems. Our simulations are instances of the categorical/coalgebraic notions previously studied by Hasuo—hence soundness against language inclusion comes for free—but are concretely presented as matrices that are subject to linear inequality constraints. Pervasiveness of these formalisms allows us t...
متن کاملOn Adjacency Matrices and Descriptors of Signed Cycle Graphs
This paper deals with adjacency matrices of signed cycle graphs and chemical descriptors based on them. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrices are calculated and their efficacy in classifying different signed cycles is determined. The efficacy of some numerical indices is also examined. Mathematics Subject Classification 2010: Primary 05C22; Secondary 05C50, 05C90
