Elegance as Complexity Reduction in Systems Design by Luca Iandoli, Letizia Piantedosi, Alejandro Salado, Giuseppe Zollo

“…In this work, we analyze elegance in the context of systems engineering using a perspective that integrates visual art, Gestalt psychology, neuroscience, and complexity theory. In particular, we measure elegance as effective complexity and theorize that it can be achieved by a process of complexity resolution based on the adoption of eight visual heuristics. …”

Research on Rapid Evaluation of Rock Mass Quality Based on Ultrasonic Borehole Imaging Technology and Fractal Method by Yuezheng Zhang, Hongguang Ji, Wenguang Li, Kuikui Hou

“…The distribution of discontinuities in the deep stratigraphic rock mass is random and irregular, and the spatial distribution has statistical self-similarity, which can be analyzed by fractal theory. The borehole wall image obtained based on the ultrasonic borehole imaging technology can clearly reflect the rich structural surface information such as the inclination, density, and crack width of the structural surface in the rock mass. …”

Probabilistic slope stability analysis on marine clay seabed considering spatial variability of soil parameters by Long Yu, Yang Bao, Kunming Ma, Yunrui Han, Yibin Yan, Bin Xu, Zhongtao Wang, Rui Pang

“…Determining the failure probabilities of submarine slopes over long distances is crucial for assessing slope stability, given the randomness of soil parameters. Based on the theory of stochastic fields and the method of limit equilibrium, this study introduces a quantitative method that incorporates spatial variability of soil parameters to evaluate submarine slope stability. …”

Forecast of Chaotic Series in a Horizon Superior to the Inverse of the Maximum Lyapunov Exponent by Miguel Alfaro, Guillermo Fuertes, Manuel Vargas, Juan Sepúlveda, Matias Veloso-Poblete

“…In this article, two models of the forecast of time series obtained from the chaotic dynamic systems are presented: the Lorenz system, the manufacture system, and the volume of the Great Salt Lake of Utah. The theory of the nonlinear dynamic systems indicates the capacity of making good-quality predictions of series coming from dynamic systems with chaotic behavior up to a temporal horizon determined by the inverse of the major Lyapunov exponent. …”

A Mathematical Overview of the Monogamous Marriage in a Multiregion Framework: Modelling and Control by Mustapha Lhous, Omar Zakary, Mostafa Rachik

“…The first control is considered as the impact of public awareness campaigns to educate virgin men and women about the benefits of marriage for the individual and the society; the second control characterizes the legal procedures, administrative complications, and the heavy financial and social consequences of divorces. The optimal control theory is applied to characterize such optimal strategies and determined numerically using a progressive-regressive discrete scheme to discuss the obtained results.…”
