The modified Newtonian dynamics with an extra anti-dissipation term can yield the MOND model

In this work, we introduced a positive viscosity coefficient into Newtonian dynamics to explore the rotational properties of disk galaxies. Our results show that the rotational behaviors of disk galaxies predicted by this modified Newtonian dynamics share notable similarities with those from the well-known MOND model. Specifically, the modified framework naturally recovers the deep-MOND limit postulated in MOND. Furthermore, we derived an explicit interpolation function relating centripetal acceleration to Newtonian acceleration-a relation that is purely empirical within the MOND model. We also identify key differences from MOND: the critical acceleration a0, regarded as a universal constant in MOND, actually varies with galactic mass and increases for more massive galaxies. Additionally, driven by the anti-dissipation effect of the viscosity coefficient, disk galaxies undergo extremely slow radial expansion over cosmic time, analogous to the expansion of the Universe. But regrettably, the fundamental physical origin of the viscosity coefficient introduced here remains unclear for us. But relevant hints can be found in existing literature, pointing to a promising direction for our future research.

SLIDER: Sparse History-Guided Aerial Robot Target Search using Sliding Local Maps

Efficient exploration and target search in large-scale unknown environments remain challenging for aerial robots due to the demands of broad spatial coverage, fine-grained perception, and real-time decision-making. This paper presents SLIDER, a lightweight and memory-efficient framework that avoids reliance on globally dense maps by combining a local sliding map with sparse global history information. A novel observation quality evaluation method is proposed, leveraging historical poses and sensor models to assess point cloud data in real-time, enabling efficient frontier detection. To support scalable and responsive planning, an incremental viewpoint clustering strategy dynamically adapts to local updates, significantly reducing the number of candidate targets and decreasing computational load. A sparse global topological map is incrementally maintained to assist global planning and cost evaluation. Extensive simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms state-of-the-art methods in memory usage, decision latency, and search efficiency.

VDNeRF: Vision-only Dynamic Neural Radiance Field for Urban Scenes

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) implicitly model continuous three-dimensional scenes using a set of images with known camera poses, enabling the rendering of photorealistic novel views. However, existing NeRF-based methods encounter challenges in applications such as autonomous driving and robotic perception, primarily due to the difficulty of capturing accurate camera poses and limitations in handling large-scale dynamic environments. To address these issues, we propose Vision-only Dynamic NeRF (VDNeRF), a method that accurately recovers camera trajectories and learns spatiotemporal representations for dynamic urban scenes without requiring additional camera pose information or expensive sensor data. VDNeRF employs two separate NeRF models to jointly reconstruct the scene. The static NeRF model optimizes camera poses and static background, while the dynamic NeRF model incorporates the 3D scene flow to ensure accurate and consistent reconstruction of dynamic objects. To address the ambiguity between camera motion and independent object motion, we design an effective and powerful training framework to achieve robust camera pose estimation and self-supervised decomposition of static and dynamic elements in a scene. Extensive evaluations on mainstream urban driving datasets demonstrate that VDNeRF surpasses state-of-the-art NeRF-based pose-free methods in both camera pose estimation and dynamic novel view synthesis.

Correction to the quantum relation of photons in the Doppler effect based on a special Lorentz violation model

The possibility of the breaking of Lorentz symmetry has been discussed in many models of quantum gravity. In this paper we follow the Lorentz violation model in Ref. [1] (i.e., our previous work) to discuss the Doppler frequency shift of photons and the Compton scattering process between photons and electrons, pointing out that following the idea in Ref. [1] we have to modify the usual quantum relation of photons in the Doppler effect. But due to the current limited information and knowledge, we could not yet determine the specific expression for the correction coefficient in the modified quantum relation of photons. However, the phenomenon called spontaneous radiation in a cyclotron maser give us an opportunity to see what the expression for this correction coefficient might look like. Therefor, under some necessary constraints, we construct a very concise expression for this correction coefficient through the discussion of different cases. And then we use this expression to analyze the wavelength of radiation in the cyclotron maser, which tends to a limited value at v is close to c, rather than to 0 as predicted by the Lorentz model. And the inverse Compton scattering phenomenon is also discussed and we find that there is a limit to the maximum energy that can be obtained by photons in the collision between extremely relativistic particles and low-energy photons, which conclusion is also very different from that obtained from the Lorentz model, in which the energy that can be obtained by the photon tends to be infinite as the velocity of particle is close to c. This paper still follows the purpose in Ref. [1] that the energy and momentum of particles (i.e., any particles, including photons) cannot be infinite, otherwise it will make some physical scenarios invalid.

Viscous universe with cosmological constant

We investigated a bulk viscous fluid universe with cosmological constant Λ by assuming that the bulk viscosity to be proportional to the Hubble parameter. We found that for an expanding universe, the (relative) matter density will be always greater than a non-zero constant, and tends to this non-zero constant in the future. We show that the bulk viscosity model has a significantly better fitting to the combined SNeIa + CMB + BAO + H(z) data than the ΛCDM model. Generally, the evolution or values of some cosmological parameters predicted by the bulk viscosity model do not deviate significantly from which are obtained from the ΛCDM model since the bulk viscosity coefficient obtained from the astronomical observational data is so small. We also made a statefinder analysis of the bulk viscosity model and found that the evolution of the {r, s} parameters behaves in such a way that 0 < s < 1, 0.945 < r <1, indicating the bulk viscosity model is different from the ΛCDM model.

A Special Lorentz Violation Model and a Special Rainbow Function

In order to characterize the common feature of the general Lorentz violation models that the local speed of light is variable at ultrahigh energy scale, we introduced a parameter n to characterize the variation of the speed of light between inertial systems. And in order not to violate some fundamental principles and experiments' results, some constraints were imposed on n. Then a coordinate transformation with the parameter n, which meets the symmetry of inertial systems, was naturally obtained. But just to satisfy the symmetry of inertial systems, the expression for n cannot be determined. Inspired by the idea of DSR model, we then discussed a specific expression for n that makes the particle's energy have a limit rather than be infinite derived from the Lorentz model. We found that the modified dispersion relation corresponding to the specific expression for n is deeply associated with the general formula of dispersion relation from the DSR. The motivation of introducing such a parameter n was also discussed. Finally, we discussed the possible LIV effects from astrophysical observations in GRB events and photon annihilation events. Using the data from GRB 190114C we investigated the special dispersion relation obtained in this paper and found that it appears to fit these data better than the two models corresponding to the first or second order approximation of the general formula of dispersion relation. And similar to the other Lorentz violation models corresponding to the subluminal case, the modified dispersion relation obtained in this paper can also result in increasing the energy threshold of photon annihilation reaction, which is expected to be verified by the future energetic photons events.

Multi-vehicle Flocking Control with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient Method

Flocking control has been studied extensively along with the wide application of multi-vehicle systems. In this paper the Multi-vehicles System (MVS) flocking control with collision avoidance and communication preserving is considered based on the deep reinforcement learning framework. Specifically the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) with centralized training and distributed execution process is implemented to obtain the flocking control policy. First, to avoid the dynamically changed observation of state, a three layers tensor based representation of the observation is used so that the state remains constant although the observation dimension is changing. A reward function is designed to guide the way-points tracking, collision avoidance and communication preserving. The reward function is augmented by introducing the local reward function of neighbors. Finally, a centralized training process which trains the shared policy based on common training set among all agents. The proposed method is tested under simulated scenarios with different setup.
