We investigate a DNA model that takes into account stacking interactions with neighbors up to three bases away. The model is a generalization of the well-known Peyrard-Bishop (PB) model and is motivated by studies that suggest that nearest-neighbor models for base-pair interaction in a DNA chain might not be enough to capture the mechanism and dynamics of DNA base-pair opening. We study station...

We introduced the continuous and discrete $p$-adic shearlet systems. We restrict ourselves to a brief description of the $p$-adic theory and shearlets in real case. Using the group $G_p$ consist of all $p$-adic numbers that all of its elements have a square root, we defined the continuous $p$-adic shearlet system associated with $L^2left(Q_p^{2}right)$. The discrete $p$-adic shearlet frames for...
