We consider energy functionals depending on the deformation of a body, defined on its reference configuration, and an Eulerian map defined on the unknown deformed configuration in the actual space. Our existence theory moves beyond the purely elastic setting and accounts for material failure by addressing free-discontinuity problems where both deformations and Eulerian fields are allowed to jump. To do this, we build upon the work of Henao and Mora-Corral regarding the variational modeling of cavitation and fracture in nonlinear elasticity. Two main settings are considered by modeling deformations as Sobolev and SBV-maps, respectively. The regularity of Eulerian maps is specified in each of these two settings according to the geometric and topological properties of the deformed configuration. We present some applications to specific models of liquid crystals, phase transitions, and ferromagnetic elastomers. Effectiveness and limitations of the theory are illustrated by means of explicit examples.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55484,"journal":{"name":"Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis","volume":"249 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00205-024-02076-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142845023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the analysis and investigation of critical nodes using complex network theory is mature and systematic, there is often a lack of multiscale node identification models and theoretical frameworks. This paper proposes a novel quantitative analysis framework and process for node importance by fusing multiple features. Node importance is determined by interdependence, risk sensitivity, and spatial conflict. These three dimensions consider the network topology, node robustness, and transportation environment stability. A case study of the Belt and Road Initiative shipping network verified the validity and feasibility of this framework. The results indicated that the importance of nodes can be represented by their heterogeneity. Critical regions strongly coincide with the distribution of major global straits and transportation routes. Notably, the similarity of results under multi-features improves the accuracy of identifying critical nodes and regions within the complex network, whereas the differences compensate for the shortcomings of the single-dimensional approach. This provides actionable insights and guidance for stakeholders to build stability in maritime supply chains.","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first model describing the emergence of such distributions was suggested by A. Turing for the explanation of cell differentiation in a growing embryo. In this model, diffusion-driven instability of the homogeneous in space solution appears due to the interaction of two or more morphogens described by a reaction–diffusion system of equations. In this work we suggest another mechanism of the emergence of spatial distributions in biological tissues based on local cell communication and global inhibition, and described by a nonlocal reaction–diffusion equation. Instability of the homogeneous in space solution leads to the emergence of stationary pulses and not of periodic solutions as in the case of Turing instability.","PeriodicalId":55497,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics Letters","volume":"281 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition probability of Markovian process is assumed to be partially unknown for accurately reflecting the real complexity of mode switching. To avoid data collision while retaining the necessary requirement of information updating, a scheduling named MEF-TOD protocol is adopted to dynamically allocate access authorization of sensor nodes to estimator. By virtue of binary delta operator, a mode-dependent estimator is built to asymptotically approximate the real state of original system. Through taking a suitable energy functional and exploiting stochastic analysis method, several novel approaches are given to sufficiently make the error asymptotically stable under constraint of <mml:math altimg=\"si1.svg\"><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>H</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo>∞</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:math> performance.

In contrast to the single agent’s control problem in Jia and Zhou (J Mach Learn Res 24:1–61, 2023), we reveal that two different q-functions naturally arise in mean-field control problems: (i) the integrated q-function (denoted by <i>q</i>) as the first-order approximation of the integrated Q-function introduced in Gu et al. (Oper Res 71(4):1040–1054, 2023), which can be learnt by a weak martingale condition using all test policies; and (ii) the essential q-function (denoted by <span>(q_e)</span>) that is employed in the policy improvement iterations. We show that two q-functions are related via an integral representation. Based on the weak martingale condition and our proposed searching method of test policies, some model-free learning algorithms are devised. In two examples, one in LQ control framework and one beyond LQ control framework, we can obtain the exact parameterization of the optimal value function and q-functions and illustrate our algorithms with simulation experiments.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55566,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Optimization","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, by using the projection method and some inequality techniques, we establish a strong convergence result for the solution of SFDVI with Lévy jump when the mappings and constraint set are both perturbed.
