Summary: In non-homogeneous texture synthesis, it is important to maintain consistent overall visual characteristics when extending local patterns. Existing methods focus on local visual features and neglect the crucial relative position features for non-homogeneous texture synthesis. Therefore, modeling pixel dependence is desired to enhance synthesis performance. This paper proposes a non-homogeneous texture extended synthesis model (GAGCN) that combines generate adversarial network (GAN) and graph convolutional network (GCN) to ensure synthesis results from both local detail structure and overall structure.

Summary: This paper presents novel results on fractional order-induced bifurcation of a tri-neuron fractional-order neural network (FONN) with delays and instantaneous self-connections. The authors systematically analyze the order as a bifurcation parameter and establish the order critical value through an implicit function array. The derived results show that once the fractional order exceeds the bifurcation critical value, the system's stability is destroyed and Hopf bifurcation occurs. Two numerical experiments are conducted to validate the developed key findings.

Summary: This paper investigates the time fractional Keller-Segel system with a small parameter. The heteroclinic orbit of the degenerate time fractional Keller-Segel system is demonstrated using the fractional order traveling wave transformation and constructing a suitable invariant region. The persistence of traveling waves in the system with a small parameter is further illustrated. These results are mainly based on the application of geometric singular perturbation theory and Fredholm theorem, which are fundamental theoretical frameworks for dealing with problems of complexity and high dimensionality. The asymptotic behavior is depicted by the asymptotic theory to illustrate the rate of decay for traveling waves.
