Bifurcation Dynamics of a Particle-Encapsulating Droplet in Shear Flow

To understand the behavior of composite fluid particles such as nucleated cells and double emulsions in flow, we study a finite-size particle encapsulated in a deforming droplet under shear flow as a model system. In addition to its concentric particle-dro ...

Higher-order continuation method for the rigid-body kinematic design of compliant mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Lennart Rubbert

Compliant mechanisms are of great interest in precision engineering. In this paper we propose a higher order continuation method to help their rigid-body kinematic design. The method helps to investigate the choice of a mechanism configuration through the ...

Optimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the ...

Bifurcation points of a singular boundary-value problem on (0,1)

Charles Stuart

Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...

Automated Reconstruction of Evolving Curvilinear Tree Structures

Przemyslaw Rafal Glowacki

Curvilinear networks are prevalent in nature and span many different scales, ranging from micron-scale neural structures in the brain to petameter-scale dark-matter arbors binding massive galaxy clusters. Reliably reconstructing them in an automated fashio ...

Fiber connectivity and bifurcation diagrams of almost toric integrable systems

Tudor Ratiu

We describe the bifurcation diagrams of almost toric integrable Hamiltonian systems on a four dimensional symplectic manifold M, not necessarily compact. We prove that, under a weak assumption, the connectivity of the fibers of the induced singular Lagrang ...

The temporal patterns of disease severity and prevalence in schistosomiasis

Andrea Rinaldo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Schistosomiasis is one of the most widespread public health problems in the world. In this work, we introduce an eco-epidemiological model for its transmission and dynamics with the purpose of explaining both intra-and inter-annual fluctuations of disease ...

RRB Vector: A Practical General Purpose Immutable Sequence

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Nicolas Alexander Stucki, Vlad Ureche

State-of-the-art immutable collections have wildly differing performance characteristics across their operations, often forcing programmers to choose different collection implementations for each task. Thus, changes to the program can invalidate the choice ...

Bifurcation without Frechet differentiability at the trivial solution

Charles Stuart

Criteria for the bifurcation of small solutions of an equation F(lambda,u) = 0 from a line {(lambda,0): lambda is an element of R} of trivial solutions are usually based on properties of the DuF(lambda,0) at the trivial solutions, where the partial derivat ...

Heuristic strategies for the approximation of stability factors in quadratically nonlinear parametrized PDEs

Andrea Manzoni, Federico Negri

In this paper we present some heuristic strategies to compute rapid and reliable approximations to stability factors in nonlinear, inf-sup stable parametrized PDEs. The efficient evaluation of these quantities is crucial for the rapid construction of a pos ...
