You Zhou, Yao Xu, Canrong Tian, Zhi LingWe present a two-species competition system that incorporates road diffusion and non-local interactions, which describes a process of biological invasion. Using the modified comparison principle, we derive that the system possesses a unique global solution. We analyze the long-term behavior of the competing populations, that is, whether the invasion succeeds or fails. Our analysis reveals that in cases

Hafnium trisulfid nanosheets for ultrafast fiber laser Chaos Solitons Fractals (IF 5.3) Pub Date : 2025-05-13
Weiwei Feng, Ligang ChenAs a member of the transition metal chalcogenides family, hafnium trisulfid (HfS3) has gained considerable interest in the realm of optoelectronics due to the distinctive optical and electronic properties. Notwithstanding this interest, there remains a paucity of comprehensive investigations into the saturable absorption characteristics and ultrafast laser applications of HfS3. In this study, we employed

Ultrafast real-time parallel random bit generation based on a directly modulated chaotic semiconductor laser diode Chaos Solitons Fractals (IF 5.3) Pub Date : 2025-05-13
Jiacheng Li, Fei Wang, Chongyu HuangModern cryptographic systems demand ultrahigh-speed physical random bit generators (RBGs) capable of Tb/s operation, yet conventional approaches combining optical chaos with electronic processing face fundamental bandwidth limitations and time delay signature (TDS) vulnerabilities. Here, we propose a monolithic semiconductor laser diode-based RGB architecture capable of achieving real-time parallel
