Three-Dimensional Free Vibration Analyses of Preloaded Cracked Plates of Functionally Graded Materials via the MLS-Ritz Method by Chiung-Shiann Huang, Hao-Ting Lee, Pin-Yu Li, Ming-Ju Chang

“…Sets of crack functions are proposed to enrich a set of polynomial functions for constructing admissible functions that represent displacement and slope discontinuities across a crack and appropriate stress singularity behaviors near a crack front. These crack functions enhance the Ritz method in terms of its ability to identify a crack in a plate. …”

The 21st Century Singularity and its Big History Implications: A re-analysis by Andrey Korotayev

“…The idea that in the near future we should expect “the Singularity” has become quite popular recently, primarily thanks to the activities of Google technical director in the field of machine training Raymond Kurzweil and his book The Singularity Is Near (2005). It is shown that the mathematical analysis of the series of events (described by Kurzweil in his famous book), which starts with the emergence of our Galaxy and ends with the decoding of the DNA code, is indeed ideally described by an extremely simple mathematical function (not known to Kurzweil himself) with a singularity in the region of 2029. …”

Сингулярность XXI века в контексте Большой истории: математический анализ by Андрей Коротаев

“…Представление о том, что в ближайшее время нас ждет некая «Сингулярность», стало в последнее время достаточно популярным, прежде всего благодаря деятельности технического директора Google в области технического обучения Рэймонда Курцвейла и его книге The Singularity Is Near (2005). Показано, что математический анализ приводимого им ряда событий, начинающегося с возникновения нашей Галактики и заканчивающегося расшифровкой кода ДНК, действительно практически идеально описывается (неизвестной самому Курцвейлу) крайне простой математической функцией с сингулярностью в районе 2029 г. …”

Stable Big Bang formation in near-FLRW solutions to the Einstein-scalar field and Einstein-stiff fluid systems by Rodnianski, Igor, Speck, Jared R.

“…To close these estimates, it is essential that we are able to rule out more singular energy blowup, a step that is in turn tied to the most important ingredient in our analysis: a collection of integral identities that, when combined in the right proportions, yield an L2-type approximate monotonicity inequality, a key point being that the error terms are controllable up to the singularity for near-FLRW solutions. In a companion article, we derived similar approximate monotonicity inequalities for linearized versions of the Einstein-scalar field equations and used them to prove linear stability results for a family of spatially homogeneous background solutions. …”
