Application of the Moving Discontinuous Galerkin Method with Interface Condition Enforcement to Shocked Compressible Flows
Journal ArticleDOI
Crack-microcrack interactions in dynamical fracture.
TL;DR: In developing the theory of the dynamical interaction, an approximation is invoked that affords a reduction in mathematical complexity to a simple set of ordinary differential equations for the positions of the crack tips; it is proposed that this kind of approximation has a range of usefulness that exceeds the present context.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Distribution of the Area under a Bessel Excursion and its Moments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the distribution of the area under a Bessel excursion in the context of laser cooling and derived a new expression for the Airy distribution in the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
How input fluctuations reshape the dynamics of a biological switching system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the Feynman-Kac theorem to investigate the statistical features of the output switching dynamics, and show that the input noise effectively suppress the input-dependent transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear self-adapting wave patterns
David A. Kessler,Herbert Levine +1 more
TL;DR: A new type of traveling wave pattern is proposed that can adapt to the size of physical system in which it is embedded and can adiabatically deform as the system is increased in size without the increase in node number that would be expected for an oscillatory version of a Turing instability containing an allowed wavenumber band with a finite minimum.
