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 ...

Any robot should be provided with a proper representation of its environment in order to perform navigation and other tasks. In addition to metrical approaches, topological mapping generates graph representations in which ...

Nowadays, different technologies provide support to different areas of our diverse lifestyles around the world. Highly reputable companies are doing important research on the connectivity of multiple devices to the different ...

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 ...
