An Adaptive Multiple Shooting Strategy for Optimal Control
Optimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.We study how multiple shooting affects the convergence of Newton‐type methods for optimal control, comparing several shooting strategies across 40 benchmark problems. The study covers interior‐point and sequential quadratic programming methods with both Quasi‐Newton approximations and exact Hessians.

Photovoltaic Effect in a III‐IV‐V Compound Semiconductor
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.A large reduction of the GaAs band gap is obtained with incorporation of 6.5% Ge during epitaxy without introducing extended defects or composition inhomogeneity. Heterojunction solar cell devices were fabricated with 0.76‐V open circuit voltage and an internal quantum efficiency above 40% at energies below the bandgap of the GaAs emitter.

Validation of Electrostrictive Performance of P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) for kHz Range Applications
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that the high‐frequency deformation of the relaxor ferroelectric polymer P(VDF–TrFE–CFE) is governed by Maxwell's electrostriction, confirming its suitability for fast electromechanical applications. Combining original high‐frequency mechanical characterization, laser vibrometry measurements, and numerical modeling, a ...

Linking fractional calculus to real data
, 2013 I will review some well-known theoretical findings about fractional calculus and, in particular, the links between fractal intermittency, the Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) model and the emergence of Fractional Diffu- sion Equations (FDE) for ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

Insight into the Fractional Calculus via a Spreadsheet
, 2009 Many students of calculus are not aware that the calculus they have learned is a special case (integer order) of fractional calculus. Fractional calculus is the study of arbitrary order derivatives and integrals and their applications. The article begins
