This paper investigates the sensitivity analysis of a scalar mechanical contact problem described by boundary value involving Tresca’s friction law. The is performed with respect to right-hand source and terms perturbations. In particular, threshold involved in law perturbed, which constitutes main novelty present work existing literature. Hence, we introduce parameterized Tresca its solution c...

In this paper, we study cost functions over a finite collection of random variables. For these types of models, a calculus of differentiation is developed that allows us to obtain a closed-form expression for derivatives where “differentiation” has to be understood in the weak sense. The technique for proving the results is new and establishes an interesting link between functional analysis and...

lim h→0 f(z + h)− f(z) h if this limit exists. If the derivative of f exists at z, we denote its value by f ′(z), and we say f isholomorphic at z. If f is holomorphic at every point of an open set U we say that f is holomorphic on U . This definition naturally leads to several basic remarks. First, the definition formally looks identical to the limit definition of a derivative of a function of ...

1. Introduction. Let Sym denote the linear space of all symmetric second-order tensors on an n-dimensional real vector space Vect with scalar product. (If Vect is identified with R n , then Sym may be identified with the set of all symmetric n-by-n matrices.) A function f : Sym → R is said to be isotropic if f (A) = f (QAQ T) for all A ∈ Sym and all Q proper orthogonals. An isotropic function h...

Polyion complexes with naturally occurring differentiation of enzymes serve to create receptor libraries with high differentiability and lower synthetic demands for pattern-based protein discrimination.
