A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

The Saddle Point Problem of Polynomials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper studies the saddle point problem of polynomials. We give an algorithm for computing saddle points, based on Lasserre's hierarchy of Moment-SOS relaxations. Under some genericity assumptions, we show that: i) if there exists a saddle point, the

Applications of saddle-point determinants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
For a given square matrix $A ∈ M_n({ℝ})$ and the vector $e ∈ (ℝ)^{n}$ of ones denote by (A,e) the matrix ⎡ A e ⎤ ⎣ $e^{T}$ 0 ⎦ This is often called the saddle point matrix and it plays a significant role in several branches of mathematics.

Structurally unstable quadratic vector fields of codimension two: families possessing a finite saddle-node and an infinite saddle-node

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2021
In 1998, Artés, Kooij and Llibre proved that there exist 44 structurally stable topologically distinct phase portraits modulo limit cycles, and in 2018 Artés, Llibre and Rezende showed the existence of at least 204 (at most 211) structurally unstable ...

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

ϵ-Henig Saddle Points and Duality of Set-Valued Optimization Problems in Real Linear Spaces

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
We study ϵ-Henig saddle points and duality of set-valued optimization problems in the setting of real linear spaces. Firstly, an equivalent characterization of ϵ-Henig saddle point of the Lagrangian set-valued map is obtained.

Accelerated variance-reduced methods for saddle-point problems

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2022
We consider composite minimax optimization problems where the goal is to find a saddle-point of a large sum of non-bilinear objective functions augmented by simple composite regularizers for the primal and dual variables.

Dose‐Dependent Reprogramming of Chromatin Accessibility by SOX4 Drives the Transcriptional Response to Iron Overload

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that iron overload triggers widespread chromatin compaction and transcriptional repression in human granulosa cells, recapitulating features of endometriosis. The epigenetic reprogramming is orchestrated by a TFEB‐SOX4‐SWI/SNF axis, with SOX4 acting as a central, dosage‐sensitive regulator.

Inflation and reheating predictions in polynomial inflation with small and large fields

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
We explore the inflationary dynamics and reheating predictions of the fourth-order generalized polynomial inflation model featuring adjustable saddle-point position and flatness near the saddle point for both small and large field cases, based on the ...

Reconfigurable Inflatables Through Controlled Surface Crumpling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflatable structures offer remarkable versatility due to their compact storage and rapid deployment, making them ideal for lightweight, quickly assembled, and deployable applications. These structures are typically made from membranes that are nearly inextensible yet highly flexible.
