Anisotropic functions : a genericity result with crystallographic implications

Victor J. Mizel, Alexander J. Zaslavski (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In the 1950’s and 1960’s surface physicists/metallurgists such as Herring and Mullins applied ingenious thermodynamic arguments to explain a number of experimentally observed surface phenomena in crystals. These insights permitted the successful engineering of a large number of alloys, where the major mathematical novelty was that the surface response to external stress was anisotropic. By examining step/terrace (vicinal) surface defects it was discovered through lengthy and tedious experiments...

Application of Fractional Calculus in the Dynamical Analysis and Control of Mechanical Manipulators

Ferreira, N., Duarte, Fernando, Lima, Miguel, Marcos, Maria, Machado, J. (2008)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 93C83, 93C85, 68T40Fractional Calculus (FC) goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, the application of FC just emerged in the last two decades. In the field of dynamical systems theory some work has been carried out but the proposed models and algorithms are still in a preliminary stage of establishment. This article illustrates several applications of fractional calculus in robot manipulator path planning and control....

Applications of certain linear operators in the theory of analytic functions

H. M. Srivastava (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The object of the present paper is to illustrate the usefulness, in the theory of analytic functions, of various linear operators which are defined in terms of (for example) fractional derivatives and fractional integrals, Hadamard product or convolution, and so on.

Applications of contractive-like mapping principles to fuzzy equations

Juan J. Nieto, Rosana Rodríguez López (2006)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We recall a recent extension of the classical Banach fixed point theorem to partially ordered sets and justify its applicability to the study of the existence and uniqueness of solution for fuzzy and fuzzy differential equations. To this purpose, we analyze the validity of some properties relative to sequences of fuzzy sets and fuzzy functions.
