On Corrected Quadrature Rules and Optimal Error Bounds by François Dubeau

“…Using Taylor’s expansions and Peano’s kernels we obtain best truncation error bounds which depend on the regularity of the function and the weight parameter. We can minimize the bounds with respect to the parameter, and we can find the best parameter value to increase the order of the error bounds or, equivalently, the degree of accuracy of the rule.…”

Tilings of the hyperbolic plane of substitutive origin as subshifts of finite type on Baumslag–Solitar groups $\mathit{BS}(1,n)$ by Aubrun, Nathalie, Schraudner, Michael

“…For well chosen hyperbolic tilings, this SFT is also aperiodic and minimal. As an application we construct a strongly aperiodic SFT on $\mathit{BS}(1,n)$ with a hierarchical structure, which is an analogue of Robinson’s construction on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ or Goodman–Strauss’s on $\mathbb{H}^2$.…”

On the MTD paradigm and optimal control for multi-drug cancer chemotherapy by Urszula Ledzewicz, Heinz Schättler, Mostafa Reisi Gahrooi, Siamak Mahmoudian Dehkordi

“…In this paper, we briefly discuss therationale behind this therapy approach and, using as examplemulti-drug cancer chemotherapy with a cytotoxic and cytostatic agent, show thatthese types of protocols are optimal in the sense of minimizing a weightedaverage of the number of tumor cells (taken both at the end of therapy and atintermediate times) and the total dose given if it is assumed that the tumorconsists of a homogeneous population of chemotherapeutically sensitive cells.A $2$-compartment linear model is used to model the pharmacokinetic equations for the drugs.…”
