Belief Reliability Distribution Based on Maximum Entropy Principle

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Belief reliability is a new reliability metric based on the uncertainty theory, which aims to measure system performance incorporating the influences from design margin, aleatory uncertainty, and epistemic uncertainty.

On the maximum principle for a time-fractional diffusion equation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we discuss the maximum principle for a time-fractional diffusion equation ∂tαu(x,t)=∑i,j=1n∂i(aij(x)∂ju(x,t))+c(x)u(x,t)+F(x,t),t>0,x∈Ω⊂Rn,$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \partial_t^{\alpha} u(x,t) = \sum\limits_{i,j=1}^n \partial_i(a_{ij}(

Some Inequalities for the Omori-Yau Maximum Principle

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2015
We generalize A. Borbély’s condition for the conclusion of the Omori-Yau maximum principle for the Laplace operator on a complete Riemannian manifold to a second-order linear semielliptic operator L with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term ...

Lagrangian submanifolds generated by the Maximum Entropy principle

open access: yesEntropy, 2005
We show that the Maximum Entropy principle (E.T. Jaynes, [8]) has a natural description in terms of Morse Families of a Lagrangian submanifold. This geometric approach becomes useful when dealing with the M.E.P. with nonlinear constraints.

The Hybrid Maximum Principle is a consequence of Pontryagin Maximum Principle [PDF]

open access: yesSystems & Control Letters, 2008
We give a simple proof of the Maximum Principle for smooth hybrid control systems by reducing the hybrid problem to an optimal control problem of Pontryagin type and then by using the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle.

Maximum principle for higher order operators in general domains

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2021
We first prove De Giorgi type level estimates for functions in W1,t(Ω), Ω⊂RN$ \Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^N $, with t>N≥2$ t \gt N\geq 2 $. This augmented integrability enables us to establish a new Harnack type inequality for functions which do not ...

A Maximum Principle for the Controlled Sweeping Process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We consider the free endpoint Mayer problem for a controlled Moreau process, the control acting as a perturbation of the dynamics driven by the normal cone, and derive necessary optimality conditions of Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle type.

Characterizing the Strong Maximum Principle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we characterize the degenerate elliptic equations F(D^2u)=0 whose viscosity subsolutions, (F(D^2u) \geq 0), satisfy the strong maximum principle. We introduce an easily computed function f(t) for t > 0, determined by F, and we show that the

Maximum Entropy Principle and the Higgs Boson Mass

open access: yes, 2014
A successful connection between Higgs boson decays and the Maximum Entropy Principle is presented. Based on the information theory inference approach we determine the Higgs boson mass as $M_H= 125.04\pm 0.25$ GeV, a value fully compatible to the LHC ...

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...
