Dynamics of a hybrid vibro-impact oscillator: canonical formalism by Farid, Maor

“…The adaptive nonlinearity of the HVI oscillator is used by the HVI-nonlinear energy sink as an effective vibration mitigation solution for broad energy and frequency range. Due to the extreme nonlinearity of this regime, traditional analytical methods are inapplicable for the description of its transient dynamics. …”

Social Interactions as Recursive MDPs by Tejwani, Ravi, Kuo, Yen-Ling, Shu, Tianmin, Katz, Boris, Barbu, Andrei

“…To what extent the Social MDPs presented here and their potential Social POMDPs variant account for all possible social interactions is unknown, but having a precise mathematical model to guide questions about social in- teractions has both practical value (we demonstrate how to make zero-shot social inferences and one could imagine chatbots and robots guided by Social MDPs) and theoretical value by bringing the tools of MDP that have so successfully organized research around navigation to shed light on what social interactions really are given their extreme importance to human well-being and human civilization.…”

Enhancing Supply Chain Operating Models Through Segmentation by AlArfaj, Ibrahim, Arslan, Yalcin

“…As a result, the SCOM for each operating model brings benefits to the overall performance. Focusing on this, slow-moving products are not delivered frequently, hence eliminating their inventories in the DCs is expected to reduce the inventory holding cost without significantly increasing the transportation cost and decreasing service levels. …”
