Tutorial: Topology, Waves, and the Refractive Index
AbstractThis tutorial is divided into two parts: the first examines the application of topology to problems in wave physics. The origins of the Chern number are reviewed, where it is shown that this counts the number of critical points of a complex tangent vector field on the surface.

On the topology and index of minimal surfaces II
For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously obtained bounding the genus and number of ends by the index. Our new estimate resolves several conjectures made by J.

Influence mechanism of MMC-HVDC grid topology on fault current
The line fault of the modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) grid seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of the power system,and the MMC-HVDC grid topology has a significant impact on the fault current.

Identification of a class of index models: A topological approach [PDF]
Summary We establish nonparametric identification in a class of so-called index models by using a novel approach that relies on general topological results. Our proof strategy requires substantially weaker conditions on the functions and distributions characterising the model than those required by existing strategies; in particular, it ...

In wireless sensor networks, nodes may adopt selfish behavior to save their energy resources, which causes energy imbalance among nodes, because of lacking a central controller with the function of making nodes cooperate.
