In this work we consider a solid body $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^3$ constituted by a nonhomogeneous elastoplastic material, submitted to a density of body forces $\lambda f$ and a density of forces $\lambda g$ acting on the boundary where the real $\lambda$ is the loading parameter. The problem is to determine, in the case of an unbounded convex of elasticity, the Limit load denoted by $\overline{\lambda }$ beyond which there is a break of the structure. The case of a bounded convex of elasticity is done in [El-Fekih and Hadhri,   (1995) 391–419]. Then assuming...

The complexity of computing, via threshold circuits, the and of fixed-dimension $k\times k$ matrices with integer or rational entries is studied. We call these two problems ${\mathrm{𝖨𝖬𝖯}}_{𝗄}$ and ${\mathrm{𝖬𝖯𝖮𝖶}}_{𝗄}$, respectively, for short. We prove that: (i) For $k\ge 2$, ${\mathrm{𝖨𝖬𝖯}}_{𝗄}$ does not belong to ${\mathrm{TC}}^0$, unless ${\mathrm{TC}}^0={\mathrm{NC}}^1$.newline (ii) For : ${\mathrm{𝖨𝖬𝖯}}_{\mathsf{2}}$ belongs to ${\mathrm{TC}}^0$ while, for $k\ge 3$, ${\mathrm{𝖨𝖬𝖯}}_{𝗄}$ does not belong to ${\mathrm{TC}}^0$, unless ${\mathrm{TC}}^0={\mathrm{NC}}^1$. (iii) For any , ${\mathrm{𝖬𝖯𝖮𝖶}}_{𝗄}$ belongs to ${\mathrm{TC}}^0$.

Let be one solution to $${\partial }_{t}y(t,x)-\sum _{i,j=1}^n{\partial }_j\left(a_{ij}\left(x\right){\partial }_{i}y(t,x)\right)=h(t,x),0<t<T,x\in \Omega$$ with a non-homogeneous term , and ${y|}_{(0,T)\times \partial \Omega }=0$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$ is a bounded domain. We discuss an inverse problem of determining unknown functions by $\{{\partial }_{\nu }y\left(h_{\ell }\right){|}_{(0,T)\times {\Gamma }_0}$, $y\left(h_{\ell }\right)(\theta ,·){\}}_{1\le \ell \le {\ell }_0}$ after selecting input sources $h_1,...,h_{{\ell }_0}$ suitably, where ${\Gamma }_0$ is an arbitrary subboundary, ${\partial }_{\nu }$ denotes the normal derivative, $0<\theta <T$ and ${\ell }_0\in \mathbb{N}$. In the case of ${\ell }_0={(n+1)}^{2}n/2$, we prove the Lipschitz stability in the inverse problem if we choose $(h_1,...,h_{{\ell }_0})$ from a set $\mathscr{H}\subset {\left\{C_0^{\infty }((0,T)\times \omega )\right\}}^{{\ell }_0}$ with an arbitrarily fixed subdomain $\omega \subset \Omega$. Moreover we can take ${\ell }_0=(n+3)n/2$ by making special choices...
