The nonhyperbolic structure of synchronization dynamics is investigated in this work. We argue analytically and confirm numerically that the chaotic dynamics on the synchronization manifold exhibits an unstable dimension variability, which is an extreme form of nonhyperbolicity. We analyze the dynamics in the synchronization manifold and in its transversal direction, where a tonguelike structur...

A Best-Matching Protocol can give a company an upper hand in the supplier selection process by determining which one best satisfies the pre-defined quality and cost requirements. The Best-Matching Protocol developed enables better matches for geometrical specifications (e.g., physical components) as compared to random matches based on the evaluation of a new performance measure, Best-Fit Index ...

In 1906 the great San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed much of the city. As we approach the 100-year anniversary of that event, a critical concern is the hazard posed by another such earthquake. In this article, we examine the assumptions presently used to compute the probability of occurrence of these earthquakes. We also present the results of a numerical simulation of interacting faul...

This paper focuses on how the system behavior of highly reliable telecommunications systems can be characterized with respect to the distribution of outage durations and the escalating recovery mechanisms implemented in the system. We develop models that can be used to predict the outage distributions and identify measures that are required for a stable system.

Transition curves with monotone curvature profile are widely applied in fair curve design. Advantage of using transition curve is that it can avoid the undesirable curvature extrema. Demonstration of transition curve in designing surface of revolution, particular of vase design can be often seen in literature. For these demonstrations, authors mainly focused on the curvature control of the vase...

in 2004, rodr'{i}guez-lallena and '{u}beda-flores have introduced a class of bivariate copulas which generalizes some known families such as the farlie-gumbel-morgenstern distributions. in 2006, dolati and '{u}beda-flores presented multivariate generalizations of this class. then in 2011, kim et al. generalized rodr'{i}guez-lallena and '{u}beda-flores' study to any...
