Stabilization in distribution of hybrid stochastic differential delay equations with Lévy noise by discrete-time state feedback controls by Jingjing Yang, Jianqiu Lu

“…Compared with previous literature, we employed Lévy noise in the discussion about stabilization in distribution for hybrid stochastic delay systems and we considered using a discrete-time linear feedback control which is more realistic and costs less. In addition, by constructing a new Lyapunov functional, stabilization in distribution of controlled systems can be achieved with the coefficients satisfying globally Lipschitz conditions. …”

Baryon asymmetry from higher-order matter contributions in gravity by David S. Pereira, Francisco S.N. Lobo, José P. Mimoso

“…Furthermore, a connection to BBN is established, providing an observational constraint on the functional form of f(R,T2). By introducing T2 into the gravitational action, we propose that these modifications could significantly influence the early Universe's dynamics, thereby altering the conditions necessary for baryogenesis to occur.…”

Vibration of electrically actuated MEMS Timoshenko microbeams based on a hierarchical beam element by Cong Ich Le, Dinh Kien Nguyen

“…Based on the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity and the modified couple stress theory (MCST), a beam element is formulated by employing hierarchical functions to interpolate the displacement field. Using the derived element, the discretized equation of motion for the microbeam is constructed and then solved by the Newton-Raphson iterative procedure in conjunction with the Newmark method. …”
