Dynamic responses characteristics of bedrock and overburden layer slope with anchored frame piles based on shaking table test by Lei Wang, Qianhui Pu, Guangpeng Chen, Jing Lian, Changwei Yang, Mingming Dai

“…Slopes under 0.4 g earthquakes first form cracks at the top and then expand downward through them. Under seismic action, the peak dynamic earth pressure in front of the front pile occurs near the bottom of the pile, and the dynamic earth pressure behind the pile occurs near the slip surface. …”

Asymptotic Optimality and Rates of Convergence of Quantized Stationary Policies in Continuous-Time Markov Decision Processes by Xiao Wu, Yanqiu Tang

“…Furthermore, we discretize and incentivize the action space and construct a sequence of quantizer policies, which is the approximation of the optimal stationary policies of the CTMDPs, and get the approximation result and the rates of convergence on the expected discounted rewards of the quantized stationary policies. …”

The Existence of Invariant Tori and Quasiperiodic Solutions of the Nosé–Hoover Oscillator by Yanmin Niu, Xiong Li

“…Under a series of transformations, it is transformed into a 2-dimensional reversible system about action-angle variables. By applying a version of twist theorem established by Liu and Song in 2004 for reversible mappings, we find infinitely many invariant tori whenever a is sufficiently small, which eventually turns out that the solutions starting on the invariant tori are quasiperiodic. …”
