The Schur-convexity of the mean of a convex function

Applied Mathematics Letters, 2009
The authors establish the Schur-convexity at the upper and lower limits of the integral for the mean of a convex function. Furthermore, a new proof of the inequality \[ f\bigg(\frac{a+b}{2}\bigg)=H(0) \leq H(t) \leq H(1)= \frac1{b-a}\int^ b_ a f(x)\,dx \] obtained by \textit{S. S. Dragomir} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 167, No. 1, 49--56 (1992; Zbl 0758.26014)

Phase Diagrams Enable Solid‐State Battery Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Batteries are non‐equilibrium devices with inherent thermodynamic driving forces to react at interfaces, regardless of kinetics or operating conditions. Chemical potential mismatches across interfaces are dissipated via interfacial reactions. In this work, it is illustrated how phase diagrams and chemical potential maps predict degradation pathways but

The Effect of Transformations on the Approximation of Univariate (Convex) Functions with Applications to Pareto Curves [PDF]

In the literature, methods for the construction of piecewise linear upper and lower bounds for the approximation of univariate convex functions have been proposed.We study the effect of the use of increasing convex or increasing concave transformations ...

Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

A U‐shaped Microfluidic Platform for Culturing Vascularized Colorectal Cancer Spheroids Reveals Tumor–Endothelial Crosstalk and Invasion‐Associated Remodeling

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A closed U‐shaped microfluidic platform symmetrically embeds a single, size‐controlled HT29 colorectal cancer spheroid within a GFP‐HUVEC‐laden fibrin matrix. HT29 spheroids are associated with hyper‐branched endothelial network remodeling, while vascularized co‐culture is accompanied by anisotropic protrusive growth and EMT‐like marker changes in the ...

Properties and Applications of Symmetric Quantum Calculus

Fractal and Fractional
Symmetric derivatives and integrals are extensively studied to overcome the limitations of classical derivatives and integral operators. In the current investigation, we explore the quantum symmetric derivatives on finite intervals.

Max-convex decompositions for cooperative TU games [PDF]

We show that any cooperative TU game is the maximum of a finite collection of convex games. This max-convex decomposition can be refined by using convex games with nonnegative dividends for all coalitions of at least two players.
