The paper recalls the concept of duality in Mathematics and extends it to Solid Mechanics. One important application of duality is to restore some symmetry between current fields and their adjoint ones. This leads to many alternative schemes for numerical analyses, different from the classical one as used in classical formulation of boundary value problems (Finite Element Method). Usually, Cons...

Important aspects of human cognition, like creativity and play, involve dealing with multiple divergent views of objects, goals, and plans. We argue in this paper that the current model of optimization that drives much of modern machine learning research is far too restrictive a paradigm to mathematically model the richness of human cognition. Instead, we propose a much more flexible and powerf...

Effect of the strengthened western Pacific subtropical high on summer visibility decrease over eastern China since 1973" (2013). [1] Daily visibility (Vis) data from 354 meteorological stations are used to evaluate the seasonal Vis trends over China from 1973 to 2009, which show that Vis decline is most distinct over eastern China in summer, with a trend of À1.4 km per decade or À34% in the 37 ...

Filtering of signals is of primary importance in signal processing. The design of filters to perform signal estimation is a problem that freeze up in the design of communication systems, control systems, in geophysics & in many other applications & disciplines. Optimum filters are proposed for filtering. In this paper, neural networks have been trained to filter satisfactorily with specified MS...
