An approach to nonlinear viscoelasticity via metric gradient flows [PDF]
We formulate quasistatic nonlinear finite-strain viscoelasticity of rate type as a gradient system. Our focus is on nonlinear dissipation functionals and distances that are related to metrics on weak diffeomorphisms and that ensure time-dependent frame ...

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly we consider nonlinear nonsmooth elliptic boundary value problems, and also related parabolic initial boundary value problems that model in a simplified way steady-state unilateral contact with Tresca friction

Boundary value problems for systems of non-degenerate difference-algebraic equations
The study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems was initiated in the works of K. Weierstrass, N.N. Luzin and F.R. Gantmacher. Systematic study of differential-algebraic boundary value problems is devoted to the work of S.

A Neutrosophic Metaheuristic Algorithm: Integrating Probability, Measures, and Adaptive Strategies for Robust Optimization of Complex Computational Problems [PDF]
Real-world optimization problems are frequently noisy, partially observed, and internally inconsistent. Classical metaheuristics deliver strong results, yet they implicitly assume crisp fitness values and unambiguous constraints.

On the construction and properties of WENO schemes order five, seven, nine, eleven and thirteen. Part 2. Numerical examples [PDF]
WENO schemes (weighted, essentially non oscillating) are currently having a wide range of applications as approximate high order schemes for discontinuous solutions of partial differential equations. These schemes are used for direct numerical simulation
