Paradoxical simulation results of chaos-like chattering in the bouncing ball system

This paper reports and investigates paradoxical simulation results of the bouncing ball system. Chaos-like motion of the bouncing ball system with intermittent chattering (Zeno behavior) is observed in simulations if the relative acceleration of the table ...

Dwell-time based stability analysis and L-2 control of LPV systems with piecewise constant parameters and delay

Muhammad Zakwan, Saeed Ahmed

Dwell-time based stability conditions for a class of LPV systems with piecewise constant parameters under time-varying delay are derived using clock-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. Sufficient synthesis conditions for clock-dependent gain-schedule ...

Comparing spatio-temporal networks of intermittent avalanche events: Experiment, model, and empirical data

Anjali Bagunu Tarun

Relaxational processes in many complex systems often occur in the form of avalanches resulting from internal cascades from across the system scale. Here, we probe the space, time, and magnitude signatures of avalanching behavior using a network of temporal ...

Near equipartitions of colored point sets

Jan Kyncl, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu, Andreas Fukami Holmsen

Suppose that nk points in general position in the plane are colored red and blue, with at least n points of each color. We show that then there exist n pairwise disjoint convex sets, each of them containing k of the points, and each of them containing poin ...

A refined estimate for the topological degree

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We sharpen an estimate of [4] for the topological degree of continuous maps from a sphere Sdinto itself in the case d >= 2. This provides the answer for d >= 2 to a question raised by Brezis. The problem is still open for d = 1. (C) 2017 Academie des scien ...

Cell-mediated delivery of synthetic nano- and microparticles funding

Harm-Anton Klok, Maxime Ayer

Cell mediated delivery of synthetic nano- and microparticle based drug carriers is a very promising strategy to enhance control over the distribution of drugs and improve targeting. This article will present an overview of work, which has been done to expl ...

Significance testing testate amoeba water table reconstructions

Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz

Transfer functions are valuable tools in palaeoecology, but their output may not always be meaningful. A recently-developed statistical test ('randomTF') offers the potential to distinguish among reconstructions which are more likely to be useful, and thos ...

Semantic parametric body shape estimation from noisy depth sequences

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

The paper proposes a complete framework for tracking and modeling articulated human bodies from sequences of range maps acquired from off-the-shelf depth cameras. In particular, we propose an original approach for fitting a pre-defined parametric shape mod ...

Geometric construction of generators of CoHA of doubled quiver

Zongbin Chen

Let Q be the double of a quiver. According to Efimov, Kontsevich and Soibelman, the cohomological Hall algebra (CoHA) associated with Q is a free super-commutative algebra. In this short note, we confirm a conjecture of Hausel, which gives a geometric real ...

An effective mathematical formulation for the unidirectional cluster-based quay crane scheduling problem

Jingmin Chen, Jianghang Chen

The quay crane scheduling problem plays an important role in the paradigm of port container terminal management, due to the fact that it closely relates to vessel berthing time. In this paper, we focus on the study of a special strategy for the cluster-bas ...

Single-top t-channel production with off-shell and non-resonant effects

Valentin Hirschi

This Letter details and discusses the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to t-channel electro-weak W(+)bj production, where finite top-width effects are consistently taken into account. The computation is done within the AMC@NLO framework and includes b ...

Using the interface Peclet number to select the maximum simulation interface width in phase-field solidification modelling

Jonathan Dantzig

This study investigates the use of interface Peclet number P = w/(D-l/V-tip), to determine the interface width (w) used in phase-field simulations, where D-l is the liquid diffusivity and V-tip is the tip velocity. The maximum simulation interface width (w ...

Surface morphology of MnSi thin films grown on Si(111)

Klaus Kern, Theresa Lutz, Giovanni Costantini

The surface morphology of MnSi thin films grown on Si(111)-7 x 7 substrates was investigated by systematically changing the amount of deposited Mn. A new 3 x 3 surface reconstruction was found at the very initial growth stages, whose atomic configuration w ...
