Risk-averse estimates of effective properties in heterogeneous elasticity by Bleyer, Jeremy

“…In the context of elastic materials, we propose to use the CVaR on the elastic free energy to compute an optimistic estimate of the global stiffness for some confidence level $\alpha $. Similarly, we also use the CVaR on the complementary elastic energy to compute a pessimistic estimate of the global stiffness. …”

The ill-posedness of the (non-)periodic traveling wave solution for the deformed continuous Heisenberg spin equation by Zhong Penghong, Chen Xingfa, Chen Ye

“…The ill-posedness of these solutions is demonstrated through Fourier integral estimates in the Sobolev space HS2s{H}_{{{\rm{S}}}^{2}}^{s} (for the periodic solution in HS2s(T){H}_{{{\rm{S}}}^{2}}^{s}\left({\mathbb{T}}) and the non-periodic solution in HS2s(R){H}_{{{\rm{S}}}^{2}}^{s}\left({\mathbb{R}}), respectively). When α≠0\alpha \ne 0, the range of the weak ill-posedness index is 1<s<321\lt s\lt \frac{3}{2} for both periodic and non-periodic solutions. …”
