Research on the Deformation Law and Stress Distribution Characteristics of Overburden under the Influence of Multiple Faults by Yaobin Qi, Weijian Yu, Desun Yu, Hanxiao Guo, Bao Pan

“…Finally, under the influence of the F1 barrier effect, the vast majority of the behind abutment pressure is transferred to the lower strata of F1, leading to a continuous increase in stress concentration there. But as the working face continues to advance, the blocking effect of the roof plastic zone above the goaf on the transmission of the behind abutment pressure of the working face begins to appear and continues to increase, leading to a decrease in the peak stress at the lower strata of F1. …”

On real interpolation, finite differences, and estimates depending on a parameter for discretizations of elliptic boundary value problems by Davide Guidetti, Sergei Piskarev

“…Next, we apply them to estimate the resolvents of finite-difference discretizations of Dirichlet boundary value problems for elliptic equations in space dimensions one and two in analogs of spaces of continuous and Hölder continuous functions. Such results were employed to study finite-difference discretizations of parabolic equations.…”

Lagrange, central norms, and quadratic Diophantine equations by R. A. Mollin

“…We consider the Diophantine equation of the form x2−Dy2=c, where c=±1,±2, and provide a generalization of results of Lagrange with elementary proofs using only basic properties of simple continued fractions. As a consequence, we achieve a completely general, simple, and elegant criterion for the central norm to be 2 in the simple continued fraction expansion of D.…”
