The topological sensitivity analysis for the heterogeneous and anisotropic elasticity problem in two-dimensions is performed in this work. The main result of the paper is an analytical closed-form of the topological ...

We calculate the phase diagram of a model for topological superconducting wires with local s-wave pairing, spin-orbit coupling λ and magnetic field B - with arbitrary orientations. This model is a generalized lattice version ...

Topological optimization provides a powerful framework to obtain the optimal domain topology for several engineering problems. The topological derivative is a function which characterizes the sensitivity of a given problem ...

In the paper a problem of optimal topology and shape design of thermo-mechanical actuators with the heat source support is considered. The objective is to maximize the output displacement in a prescribed direction on the ...

In this work we provide a new topological representation for implication algebras in such a way that its one- point compactification is the topological space given in [1]. Some applications are given thereof.

The paper deals with topology design of thermomechanical actuators. The goal of shape optimization is to maximize the output displacement in a given direction on the boundary of the elastic body, which is submitted to a ...

The topological structure of the wavefunctions of particles in periodic potentials is characterized by the Berry curvature Ωkn whose integral on the Brillouin zone is a topological invariant known as the Chern number. The ...

We present a research article which formulates the milestones for the understanding and characterization of holonomy and topology of a discrete-time quantum walk architecture, consisting of a unitary step given by a sequence ...

We investigate the ground-state properties of a recently proposed model for a topological Kondo insulator in one dimension (i.e., the p-wave Kondo-Heisenberg lattice model) by means of the density-matrix renormalization-group ...

Time-reversal-invariant topological superconducting (TRITOPS) wires are known to host a fractional spin /4 at their ends. We investigate how this fractional spin affects the Josephson current in a TRITOPS-quantum dot-TRITOPS ...
