Gradient Flow Line Near Birth-Death Critical Points [PDF]

open access: yes, 1924
Near a birth-death critical point in a one-parameter family of gradient flows, there are precisely two Morse critical points of index difference one on the birth side.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Another four critical points theorem

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, making use of Theorem 2 of [5], we establish a new four critical points theorem which can be regarded as a companion to Theorem 1 of [4]. We also present an application to the Dirichlet problem for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations.

A deformation lemma and some critical point theorems [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society, 1991
A new deformation lemma for functions satisfying the Palais-Smale condition on a real Banach space is obtained. This is used to deduce some critical point theorems which are extensions of some well known results.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Existence and multiplicity of solutions for the noncoercive Neumann p-Laplacian

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2010
We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p-Laplacian differential operator with a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequality). Using variational techniques based on the smooth critical point theory and the second deformation theorem,

Why Ni$_3$Al is an itinerant ferromagnet but Ni$_3$Ga is not

open access: yes, 2003
Ni$_3$Al and Ni$_3$Ga are closely related materials on opposite sides of a ferromagnetic quantum critical point. The Stoner factor of Ni is virtually the same in both compounds and the density of states is larger in Ni$_3$Ga.

Linearizing and Forecasting: A Reservoir Computing Route to Digital Twins of the Brain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A new approach uses simple neural networks to create digital twins of brain activity, capturing how different patterns unfold over time. The method generates and recovers key dynamics even from noisy data. When applied to fMRI, it predicts brain signals and reveals distinctive activity patterns across regions and individuals, opening possibilities for ...
