The finite element model of suspension bridge was established according to the actual engineering in Southwest area China. In order simulate random ground motion accurately and efficiently, orthogonal function modeling method based on Priestley evolution spectrum theory is adopted. dimensionality reduction simulation realized, simulated samples are input into carry out time history analysis. Fi...

This article discusses how constructivist psychology might contribute to studies of the history and philosophy of science. It is suggested that this would be a fruitful topic for graduate research, and a brief analysis is provided of what would be required to model the construct systems involved in the Priestley-Lavoisier controversy over the roles of phlogiston and oxygen in calcification. It ...

Loosely speaking, a stationary time series is one whose statistical properties remain constant over time, whereas the statistical properties of locally stationary (LS) time series change slowly over time. As a consequence, LS series can appear stationary when examined close up, but appear nonstationary when examined on a larger scale. Priestley (1983) and Nason and von Sachs (1999) review local...

We give a representation of distributive lattices with the existential quantifier in terms of spectral spaces, which is an alternative to Cignoli’s representation in terms of Priestley spaces. Then we describe dual spectral spaces of subdirectly irreducible and simple Q-distributive lattices and prove that the variety QDist of Q-distributive lattices does not have the congruence extension prope...

We give topological proofs of Görnemann’s adaptation to Heyting algebras of the Rasiowa-Sikorski Lemma for Boolean algebras; and of the Rauszer-Sabalski generalisation of it to distributive lattices. The arguments use the Priestley topology on the set of prime filters, and the Baire category theorem. This is preceded by a discussion of criteria for compactness of various spaces of subsets of a ...

In this paper we deal with the minimization of a convex function over the solution set of a range inclusion problem determined by a multivalued operator with convex graph. We attach a dual problem to it, provide regularity conditions guaranteeing strong duality and derive for the resulting primal-dual pair necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. We also discuss the existence of optimal ...
