Sparsity constraints are now very popular to regularize inverse problems in the field of applied mathematics. Structural damage identification is a typical inverse problem of structural dynamics and Structural damage is a spatial sparse phenomenon, i.e., structural damage occurs, only part of elements or substructures are damaged. In this paper, a structural damage identification method based o...

We propose a situation calculus formalization of action domains that include numeric-valued fluents (so-called additive or measure fluents) and concurrency. Our approach allows formalizing concurrent actions whose effects increment/decrement the value of additive fluents. For describing indirect effects, we employ mathematical equations in a manner that is inspired by recent work on causality a...

A survey of probabilistic approaches to quantum dynamical semigroups with unbounded generators is given. An emphasis is made upon recent advances in the structural theory of covariant Markovian master equations. As an example, a complete characterizations of the Galilean covariant irreversible quantum Markovian evolutions is given in terms of the corresponding quantum master and Langevin equati...

this study aims to design the management model and planning of career promotion path in the employees of tehran bank mellat branches. the research method is descriptive and survey that was conducted by correlational and structural equations modeling. the statistical population (n=200) of the study included all employees of twenty branches in tehran's bank mellat who were selected as the sa...

Abstract: We consider a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations driven by an additive cylindrical stable noise. We investigate structural properties of the solutions like Markov, irreducibility, stochastic continuity, Feller and strong Feller properties, and study integrability of trajectories. The obtained results can be applied to semilinear stochastic heat equations with Dirichlet...

From their inception in the early 20th century, causal systems models (more commonly known as structural-equations models) were accompanied by graphi-cal representations or path diagrams that provided compact summaries of qualitative assumptions made by the models. Fig. 1 provides a graph that would correspond to any system of 5 equations encoding these assumptions:

In this contribution, a new and efficient multivariate interpolation scheme is presented which is designed for large-scale coupling problems in the field of numerical aeroelasticity. The scheme is based upon a local application of radial basis functions (RBFs). The new method is tested in several numerical aeroelastic computations, and compared to a competing, widely used global approach. The i...
