In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are ...

This paper compares the dynamic testability prediction technique termed "sensitivity analysis" to the static testability technique termed cyclomatic complexity. The application that we chose in this empirical study is a CASE generated version of a B-737 autoland and yawdamp systems. For the B-737 systems we analyzed, we isolated those functions that we predict are more prone to hide errors duri...

It is known that a static analysis of π-calculus can be done rather simply and also efficiently, i.e. in O(n) time. Clearly, a static analysis should be as precise as possible. We show that it is not only desirable, but also possible to improve the precision of the analysis without worsening its asymptotic complexity. We illustrate the main principles of this efficient algorithm, we prove that ...

After two centuries of studying equilibria-static patterns that call for no further behavioral adjustments-economists are beginning to study the general emergence of structures and the unfolding of patterns in the economy. When viewed in out-of-equilibrium formation, economic patterns sometimes simplify into the simple static equilibria of standard economics. More often they are ever changing, ...

Model complexity is key concern to any artificial learning system due its critical impact on generalization. However, EC research has only focused phenotype structural complexity for static problems. For sequential decision tasks, phenotypes that are very similar in structure, can produce radically different behaviors, and the trade-off between fitness and complexity in this context is not clea...

Pangaea is a system that can distribute centralized Java programs, based on static source code analysis and using arbitrary distribution middleware as a back-end. As Pangaea handles the entire distribution aspect transparently and automatically, it helps to reduce the complexity of parallel programming, and also shows how static analysis can be used to optimize distribution policies in ways tha...

We introduce a new class of membrane systems called simple P systems, and study its computational complexity using the classical theory. We start by presenting the knapsack problem and analyzing its space and time complexities. Then we study the computational complexity of simple P systems by considering the static allocation of resources enabling the parallel application of the rules. We show ...
