A phenomenon of topological directed amplification certain initial perturbations is revealed theoretically to emerge in a class asymptotically stable skin-effect lattices described by non-normal Toeplitz operators ${H}_{g}$ with positive ``numerical ordinate'' $\ensuremath{\omega}({H}_{g})>0$. Non-normal temporal evolution, even the presence global dissipation, shown manifest counterintuitiv...

abstract for seismic design, it is important to estimate the, maximum lateral displacement (inelastic displacement) of the structures due to earthquakes for several reasons. seismic design provisions estimate the maximum roof and storey drifts occurring in major earthquakes by amplifying the roof displacement and drifts of the structures obtained by elastic analysis subjected to seismic design ...
