Any linear dynamical system can in fact be transformed into a system of Schrödinger’s equations via a method called Schrödingerisation (Jin et al. 2022. Quantum simulation of partial differential equations via Schrödingerisation. (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13969) and Jin et al. 2023. Phys. Rev. A 108, 032603. (doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.108.032603)). We show how Schrödingerisation allows quantum simulation to be directly used for the simulation of continuous-time versions of general (explicit) iterative schemes or discrete linear dynamical systems. In particular, we use this new method to solve linear systems of equations and for estimating the maximum eigenvector and eigenvalue of a matrix, respectively. This method is applicable using either discrete-variable quantum systems or on hybrid continuous-variable and discrete-variable quantum systems. This framework provides an interesting alternative to solve linear algebra problems using quantum simulation.","PeriodicalId":509915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society A","volume":"32 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141398425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed approach is interpretable and, building upon previous work on transition networks, explicitly accounts for experimental noise within the data-driven framework by means of data clustering. Experimental measurements are exploited, beyond model training, to quantify the degree of uncertainty (noise) for each trained state. Such noise levels are eventually associated with probability distributions that, when combined with Bayes’ theorem, allow us to perform real-time state estimation. The proposed methodology is tested on two cases of challenging flows generated by an accelerating elliptical plate and also a delta wing experiencing gusts. Results specifically indicate that the proposed approach is robust against the number of clusters, enabling state estimation with a significant order reduction, notably decreasing the computational cost while preserving estimation accuracy. Based on the present findings, the proposed data-driven approach can be employed for realistic state estimation in nonlinear systems where noise, sensor sparsity and nonlinearities represent a challenging scenario.","PeriodicalId":509915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society A","volume":"13 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141409888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our exploration encompasses discussions on the existence and stability of model equilibria, as well as the derivation of a critical threshold quantity that regulates the model dynamics. Additionally, we establish criteria for backward and forward bifurcations and various forms of Hopf bifurcation. Detailed scrutiny of an associated optimal control problem is undertaken, starting with the establishment of the existence of an optimal control pair, followed by the determination of the requisite system conditions for this control pair. Extensive numerical simulations are conducted to validate the theoretical findings.

Under this regime, singular perturbation techniques are used to construct localized steady-state patterns, and new types of non-local eigenvalue problems (NLEP) are derived to determine the stability of these patterns to O(1) time-scale instabilities. We extend the scope of the NLEP by considering a general scenario where both time-scaling parameters are non-zero. All analytical results are found to agree with numerics.

The grid is linearly elastic and subject to in-plane incremental deformation, involving normal and shear forces and bending moment. The periodicity of the infinite grid permits a Floquet–Bloch wave analysis and a rigorous dynamic homogenization, leading to an equivalent prestressed elastic solid. The investigation is complemented by ad hoc developed F.E. simulations and perturbations with a pulsating Green’s function. Results show that the sliders create band gaps, flat bands and Dirac cones in the dispersion diagrams and generate macro-instability even for tensile prestress. The latter corresponds to the loss of ellipticity at the parabolic boundary in the equivalent elastic solid and provides a rare example of an almost unexplored form of material instability. Therefore, our results offer design strategies for metamaterials and architected materials showing reversible material instabilities and filtering properties for mechanical signals.","PeriodicalId":509915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society A","volume":"124 49","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139537704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed solution technique employs complex potentials to treat the disc’s interior and incremental Lagrangian equations to describe the prestressed elastic rod modelling the coating. The bifurcations of the disc occur with modes characterized by different circumferential wavenumbers, ranging between ovalization and high-order waviness, as a function of the ratio between the elastic stiffness of the disc and the bending stiffness of its coating.

Despite the challenges they faced, some researchers have presented mathematical models to describe some aspects of the mechanical response of soft tissues. Since most of the materials of biological interest are composites made of different constituents reinforced by collagen and/or elastin fibres, material dispersion and anisotropy are non-negligible. Within the theory of elasticity, several models for anisotropic materials have been developed. The same cannot be said for anisotropic dispersive materials. The models available in the literature that account for material dispersion are valid only for isotropic materials. This paper aims at introducing a very general model for anisotropic dispersion in transversely isotropic bodies within the theory of simple materials of differential type. Our model has the potential to represent a first step towards a better understanding of the mechanical response of fibre-reinforced soft materials.","PeriodicalId":509915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society A","volume":"23 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139125831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these processes are dissipative: energy is consumed purely to maintain non-equilibrium steady-state outputs. How efficiently the input energy is transduced toward the output dissipation as opposed to being lost during intermediate steps, and whether the efficiency is constrained by general principles or specific fine-tuning, are open questions. Here, applying a recent mapping from non-equilibrium systems to battery-resistor circuits, an analytic expression for the efficiency of any dissipative molecular machine driven by a chemical potential difference is derived. This expression disentangles the chemical potential from the machine’s details, whose effect on the efficiency is fully specified by a constant called the load resistance. The efficiency passes through an inflection point separating totally inefficient machines from efficient machines if the balance between chemical potential difference and load resistance exceeds thermal noise. This explains all-or-none dynein stepping with increasing ATP concentration observed in single-molecule experiments. These results indicate that energy transduction in living systems is efficient not because of idiosyncratic optimization of biomolecules, but rather because the concentration of chemical fuel is kept above a threshold level.","PeriodicalId":509915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society A","volume":"68 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139537020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we study the kinematics and dynamics of such origami, theoretically, numerically and experimentally, considering rigid panels and stretchable creases. Unlike developable origami, we find that non-developable origami exhibits distinct folding angle relationships, leading to several separate branches in its kinematic configuration space with snap-through and locking behaviours. By modelling the creases as stretchable torsional springs, we derive a dynamic model to analyse the deployment of non-developable origami structures, from single-vertex origami to origami chains. Our dynamic model unveils the snap-through behaviour between the two kinematics branches of the single-vertex non-developable origami structure, which is further validated by experiments with excellent agreement.

Physics-based registration methods rely on adding artificial forces to drive the registration, which may result in implausible displacement fields. In this paper, we look at this inverse problem through the lens of optimal control, in an attempt to reconstruct a physically consistent surface load. The resulting optimization problem features an elastic model, a least-squares data attachment term based on orthogonal projections, and an admissible set of surface loads defined prior to reconstruction in the mechanical model. After a discussion about the existence of solutions, we analyse the necessary optimality conditions and use them to derive a suitable optimization algorithm. We implement an adjoint method and we test our approach on multiple examples, including the so-called Sparse Data Challenge.
