The Heaviside Step Function and MATLAB

open access: closed, 2008
Mathematical software enables to solve in a very simple way differential equations arisen from casual systems. In this note we point out that the solutions provided by MATLAB may occasionally neglect Heaviside step functions in the output when instant impulses or piecewise continuous functions appear in the input.

XFEM Analyses Using Two-Dimensional Quadrilateral Elements Enriched with Only the Heaviside Step Function

open access: closedInternational Journal of Computational Methods, 2021
In the framework of the extended finite element method, a two-dimensional four-node quadrilateral element enriched with only the Heaviside step function is formulated for stationary and propagating crack analyses. In the proposed method, two types of signed distance functions are used to implicitly express crack geometry, and finite elements, which ...

Direct approach to density functional theory: iterative treatment using a polynomial representation of the Heaviside step function operator

open access: closedChemical Physics Letters, 1995
Abstract A new approach to density functional theory is presented. The ground state electronic density and energy of a many-electron system are obtained directly using a polynomial representation of the Heaviside step operator acting on a trial wavefunction.

Recursive Heaviside step functions and beginning of the universe

open access: closedNew Astronomy, 2016
Abstract This article introduces recursive Heaviside step functions, as a potential of the known universe, for the first time in the history of mathematics, science, and engineering. In modern cosmology, various bouncing models have been suggested based on the postulation that the current universe is the result of the collapse of a previous universe.

Derivative of Heaviside step function vs. delta function in continuum surface force (CSF) models

open access: closedInternational Journal of Multiphase Flow, 2017
Abstract In Continuum Surface Force (CSF) model for implementing surface tension forces in multiphase flows, singular delta function is used to merge two continuous sets of flow equations. Discretizing the delta function has attracted a great deal of attention and has led to developing many different approaches. It has been shown numerically that two

Teaching deflection of stepped shafts: Castigliano's theorem, dummy loads, heaviside step functions and numerical integration

open access: closed2011 Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2011
The need for finding the deflections of shafts, many of which are stepped or varying cross-sectional areas is timeless. Each generation of engineers has used that part of mechanics of materials theory that fit the calculating capability available to them. The method presented here is offered in that vein.

Excitation of medium by Heaviside step function of electric field

open access: closed2016 10th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP), 2016
An analytical solution in a closed form to the problem of excitation of a medium by Heaviside step function of electric field has been obtained. It allows for studying fields excited by impulse (non-smooth) sources. Numerical results of fields' calculation in a medium are presented.

Analysis and Design of a $k$-Winners-Take-All Model With a Single State Variable and the Heaviside Step Activation Function

open access: closedIEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 2010
This paper presents a k-winners-take-all (kWTA) neural network with a single state variable and a hard-limiting activation function. First, following several kWTA problem formulations, related existing kWTA networks are reviewed. Then, the kWTA model model with a single state variable and a Heaviside step activation function is described and its global
