In this paper, continuous and discontinuous cases of a contact problem for two elastic layers supported by a Winkler foundation are analyzed using both analytical method and finite element method. In ...

Journal Editorial Report: The Fed Chief signals rate cuts are coming. As we saw during the Covid pandemic, lab-created experiments can wreak havoc when they escape their confines. Once released, they ...

Commonly, in Ordinary Differential Equations courses, equations with impulses or discontinuous forcing functions are studied. In this context, the Laplace Transform of the Dirac delta function and ...

Abstract: We propose a novel characterization of piecewise-defined barrier functions for certifying forward invariant sets of piecewise continuous dynamical systems. Forward invariance is established ...

Infinite scroll is a way of showing content that was popularized by social media in which users can aimlessly navigate in a state of constant discovery. It’s purposeless navigation. In 2021 Google ...

Biden administration officials on Monday announced plans to expand the use of the new “continuous vetting” process for reviewing existing federal workers’ background checks to all “public trust” ...

Quantum annealing (QA) can be competitive to classical algorithms in optimizing continuous-variable functions when running on appropriate hardware, show researchers from Tokyo Tech. By comparing the ...

Abstract: In this article, finite/fixed-time stabilization and energy consumption estimation of a class of discontinuous fuzzy inertial Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) are considered. The ...
