It is known, though not commonly, that one can describe fermions using a second order in derivatives Lagrangian instead of the first order Dirac one.

Generalized Second-Order G-Wolfe Type Fractional Symmetric Program and their Duality Relations under Generalized Assumptions [PDF]
In this article, we formulate the concept of generalize bonvexity/pseudobonvexity functions. We formulate duality results for second-order fractional symmetric dual programs of G-Wolfe-type model.

Oscillatory behavior of second-order damped differential equations with a superlinear neutral term [PDF]
This article concerns the oscillatory behavior of solutions to second-order damped nonlinear differential equations with a superlinear neutral term. The results are obtained by a Riccati type transformation as well as by an integral criterion.

Effect of second harmonic and second‐order intermodulation on third‐order passive intermodulation
Third‐order intermodulation (IM3) is considered as a typical metric to evaluate passive intermodulation (PIM) in electrical connectors, which may be affected by the second‐order effect in the circuit with cascaded non‐linearities.

Improved Hille-Type Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Quasilinear Dynamic Equations
In this work, we develop enhanced Hille-type oscillation conditions for arbitrary-time, second-order quasilinear functional dynamic equations. These findings extend and improve previous research that has been published in the literature.

Second-order neural core for bioinspired focal-plane dynamic image processing in CMOS [PDF]
Based on studies of the mammalian retina, a bioinspired model for mixed-signal array processing has been implemented on silicon. This model mimics the way in which images are processed at the front-end of natural visual pathways, by means of programmable

Second order pedagogy as an example of second order cybernetics
This article is about seeing/creating/trying out an idea of pedagogy and pedagogical/ educational research in/as/with self-reflexive, circular and diffractive perspectives and about using second order cybernetics as thinking tool. It is a move away from

It is a known fact that in most cases, to integrate an oscillatory problem, higher order A-stable methods are often needed. This is because such problems are characterized by stiffness, chaos and damping, thus making them tedious to solve.
