We propose a novel model of inflation based on a large class of covariant effective actions containing only the second derivatives of a scalar field. The initial conditions leading to the inflationary solutions in this model are rather generic.

Multiobjective Optimization for Torsional Stiffness of Antiroll Bar on Trucks
The antiroll bar (ARB) plays an important role in reducing the rollover phenomenon and uneven load distribution between the wheels on an axle, thus enhancing the safety and roll stability of vehicles. This study proposes a method for optimizing the torsional stiffness of the ARB on trucks, with three main objectives: (1) building a general model of a ...

Reciprocal Convex Costs for Ratio Matching: Axiomatic Characterization
We study ratio-induced mismatch cost functions of the form c(s,o)=JιS(s)/ιO(o) built from positive scale maps ιS:S→R>0 and ιO:O→R>0 and a penalty J:(0,∞)→[0,∞).

ABSTRACT We apply the discrete mechanics approach to the discretisation of geometrically exact Cosserat rods. We consider discrete Cosserat rods defined on a vertex (or nodal) grid, as well as on a staggered grid, and provide a review and update of the results already obtained in Part I for the nodal model variant and, for the first time, present a ...

This paper mainly consists of two parts: (i) We study the uniqueness, existence, and stability of a new fractional nonlinear partial integro-differential equation in Rn with three-point conditions and variable coefficients in a Banach space using inverse

The idea of quantity at the origin of the legitimacy of mathematization in physics [PDF]
Newton's use of mathematics in mechanics was justified by him from his neo-platonician conception of the physical world that was going along with his «absolute, true and mathematical concepts» such as space, time, motion, force, etc.

Abstract Millimeter‐level active control of track geometry irregularity (TGI) is crucial for intelligent maintenance of high‐speed railways. To address the efficiency limitations of existing time‐domain characteristics‐dominated TGI maintenance scheme design methods and vehicle–track coupled dynamics evaluation models, this paper proposes a new ...

The D’Alembert Inevitability Theorem
We study functions satisfying the composition law F(xy)+F(x/y)=P(F(x),F(y)) with a symmetric polynomial combiner P. We prove that symmetry together with a quadratic degree bound on P forces a composition law of d’Alembert type.
