3D Yang-Mills confining properties from a non-Abelian ensemble perspective by D. R. Junior, L. E. Oxman, G. M. Simões

“…Abstract In this work, we propose a 3D ensemble measure for center-vortex worldlines and chains equipped with non-Abelian degrees of freedom. We derive an effective field description for the center-element average where the vortices get represented by N flavors of effective Higgs fields transforming in the fundamental representation. …”

Nonlinear Dynamics of the High-Speed Rotating Plate by Minghui Yao, Li Ma, Wei Zhang

“…Galerkin approach is applied to discretize the partial differential governing equations of motion to ordinary differential equations. Asymptotic perturbation method is exploited to derive four-degree-of-freedom averaged equation for the case of 1 : 3 internal resonance-1/2 sub-harmonic resonance. …”

Nonlinear Dynamics Analysis and Global Stabilization of Underactuated Horizontal Spring-Coupled Two-Link Manipulator by Ancai Zhang, Jinhua She, Zhenxing Li, Guochen Pang, Zhi Liu, Jianlong Qiu

“…An underactuated horizontal spring-coupled two-link manipulator (UHSTM) is a nonlinear system that has one actuator and two degrees of freedom (DOF). This paper analyzes the nonlinear dynamics and develops a new global stabilization control method for this 2-DOF underactuated system. …”

Available Degrees of Spatial Multiplexing of a Uniform Linear Array With Multiple Polarizations: A Holographic Perspective by Xavier Mestre, Adrian Agustin, David Sarda

“…A capacity analysis is presented when the number of elements of the ULA increases without bound while the interelement distance converges to zero, so that the total aperture length is kept asymptotically fixed. In particular, the total number of available spatial degrees of freedom is shown to depend crucially on the receiver position in space, and closed form expressions are provided for the different achievability regions. …”
