In this study, the design of a flexible cable–strut tensile structure was optimised according to importance elements achieve high structural robustness. First, coefficients were determined by comparing their prefailure and postfailure strain energy. Moreover, effects external load, initial prestress, cross-sectional areas on analysed. Second, genetic algorithm used optimise element section mini...

Sequences of Levy transformations for the Darboux system of conjugates nets in multidimensions are studied. We show that after a suitable number of Levy transformations, with at least a Levy transformation in each direction, we get closed formulae in terms of multiWroński determinants. These formulae are for the tangent vectors, Lamè coefficients, rotation coefficients and points of the surface...

We propose the model, which allows us to approximate fractional Levy noise and fractional Levy motion. Our model is based (i) on the Gnedenko limit theorem for an attraction basin of stable probability law, and (ii) on regarding fractional noise as the result of fractional integration/differentiation of a white Levy noise. We investigate self-affine properties of the approximation and conclude ...
