Inequality from generation to generation:

Snapshots leave more to the imagination than movies. This is certainly the case when it comes to measuring and understanding inequality. Whether the degree of inequality in a society is “too high” or “too low” is hard to say, and therefore it is hard to imagine what the public policy implications should be. How did it arise? What will happen to it in the future? These seem to be reasonable ques...

A mesh generation procedure to simulate bimaterials

It is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. In this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes. The non-uniform mesh is generated adaptively based on advancing front technique available in Abaqus software. Implementing severa...

Generation and Random Generation: from Simple Groups to Maximal Subgroups

Let G be a finite group and let d(G) be the minimal number of generators for G. It is well known that d(G) = 2 for all (non-abelian) finite simple groups. We prove that d(H) ≤ 4 for any maximal subgroup H of a finite simple group, and that this bound is best possible. We also investigate the random generation of maximal subgroups of simple and almost simple groups. By applying a recent theorem ...
