Impulse-based representations of earthquake ground motions provide an efficient framework for evaluating critical nonlinear structural responses. However, the direct use of ideal impulse ground ...

It’s 2026, do you know where your climate goals are? Seven years have passed since New York enacted the landmark Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which set ambitious deadlines and ...

We present the design for a thermodynamic computer that can perform arbitrary nonlinear calculations in or out of equilibrium. Simple thermodynamic circuits, fluctuating degrees of freedom in contact ...

Up to this point, the illumination patterns we used to program the waveguide were designed manually, in that we designed them on the basis of standard knowledge of NLO. To demonstrate the ability to ...

Abstract: In this paper, is used nonlinear programming method to modify the well-known variable gradient method for constructing the Lyapunov function of a system of ordinary differential equations.

Using two optically trapped glass nanoparticles, researchers observed a novel collective Non-Hermitian and nonlinear dynamic driven by nonreciprocal interactions. This contribution expands traditional ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an estimation of particle swarm distribution algorithm (EPSDA) to solve the nonlinear bilevel programming problem (NBLP) by embedding the estimation distribution ...

PRIMA is a package for solving general nonlinear optimization problems without using derivatives. It provides the reference implementation for Powell's renowned derivative-free optimization methods, i ...

The current release of this book can be found at here. This book was desigend originally for the undergraduete course ISE 3434 - "Deterministic Operations Research II" taught at Virginia Tech. I will ...
