Size-Change Termination, Monotonicity Constraints and Ranking Functions [PDF]
Size-Change Termination (SCT) is a method of proving program termination based on the impossibility of infinite descent. To this end we may use a program abstraction in which transitions are described by monotonicity constraints over (abstract) variables.

Necessary conditions for reaction-diffusion system with delay preserving positivity
We consider the reaction--diffusion system with delay \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{aligned} &\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=A(t,x)\Delta u-\sum_{i=1}^{k}\gamma_{i}(t,x)\partial_{x_{i}}u +f(t,u_{t}) , &x\in \Omega; \\ &B(u)|_{\partial \Omega}=0.\\ \

We develop a "local theory" of multidimensional quasiperiodic $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles which are not homotopic to a constant. It describes a $C^1$-open neighborhood of cocycles of rotations and applies irrespective of arithmetic conditions on the frequency, being much more robust than the local theory of $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles homotopic to a constant.

This study develops a semi‐supervised classifier integrating multi‐genomic data (1404 training/5893 validation samples) to improve homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) detection in breast cancer. Our method demonstrates prognostic value and predicts chemotherapy/PARP inhibitor sensitivity in HRD+ tumours.

Testing Top Monotonicity [PDF]
Top monotonicity is a relaxation of various well-known domain restrictions such as single-peaked and single-crossing for which negative impossibility results are circumvented and for which the median-voter theorem still holds.

Uniqueness and monotonicity of solutions for fractional equations with a gradient term
In this paper, we consider the following fractional equation with a gradient term $$(-\Delta)^{s} u(x)= f(x,u (x), \nabla u (x)),$$ in a bounded domain and the upper half space.

In this study, exciting new bi‐/multi‐linear elastic behavior of soft elastic composites that accompany the activation of wrinkling in the embedded interfacial layers is analyzed. The new features and performance of these composite materials, including dramatic enhancements in energy storage, can be tailored by the concentration of interfacial layers ...

Is more health always better? Exploring public preferences that violate monotonicity [PDF]
Abásolo and Tsuchiya (2004a) report on an empirical study to elicit public preferences regarding the efficiency-equality trade-off in health, where the majority of respondents violated monotonicity.

A Novel Simulation Approach for Damage Evolution during Tailored Forming
Traditional damage models are struggling to accurately and efficiently simulate large‐scale three‐dimensional models with a great number of degrees of freedoms. A new gradient‐enhanced damage model based on the extended Hamilton principle can significantly reduce the computation time while ensuring mesh‐independence which is suitable to use in tailored
