Determination of co-seismic slip resistance in earth faults is critical for understanding the magnitude of shear-stress reduction and hence the near-fault acceleration that can occur during earthquakes. Also, knowledge of shear resistance dependency on slip velocity, slip distance, normal stress, and surface roughness is fundamental information for understanding earthquake physics and the energ...

Abstract We present an extended range of stable flux reconstruction (FR) methods on triangles through the development and application summation-by-parts framework in two-dimensions. This schemes is then shown to contain single parameter Castonguay et al. (J Sci Comput 51:224–256, 2011) triangles, our definition enables wider stability bounds be developed for those families. Stable upwinded spec...

Atserias, Kolaitis, and Vardi [1] showed that the proof system of Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams with conjunction and weakening, OBDD(∧,weakening), simulates CP∗ (Cutting Planes with unary coefficients). We show that OBDD(∧,weakening) can give exponentially shorter proofs than dag-like cutting planes. This is proved by showing that the Clique-Coloring tautologies have polynomial size proofs i...

The robust weakening of the tropical atmospheric circulation in projections of anthropogenic warming is associated with substantial changes in regional and global climate. The present study focuses on understanding the response of the annual-mean Hadley circulation from a perspective of interactions between climate feedbacks and tropical circulation. Simulations from an ensemble of coupled ocea...
