[1] We perform numerical simulations of spontaneous dynamic rupture governed by a slip-weakening law along a bimaterial interface (fault) with off-fault damage in the form of Coulomb plastic yielding. Off-fault plastic yielding stabilizes the wrinkle-like slip pulse in terms of a decreasing rate of slip velocity growth. With a variety of model parameters, ruptures on the fault are bilateral, wh...

In this paper, we examine the effect of intra-industry credit contagion using three different kinds of intra-industry measures in our empirical study. We apply the competitive strategic measure (CSM) of Sundaram et al. (1996) to capture the strategic interaction faced by firms. We also consider the measure of industry-wide financial distress and the measure of equity correlations. We use the fo...

This paper presents an efficient meshless approach for solving electrostatic problems. This novel approach is based on combination of radial basis functions-based meshless unsymmetric collocation method with projection domain decomposition method. Under this new method, we just need to solve a Steklov-Poincaré interface equation and the original problem is solved by computing a series of indepe...

Hydrological models have been increasing in complexity over the years. These models rely on their calibration to simulate real world conditions as close as possible. Calibration is a tedious and time-consuming process. An auto-calibration algorithm (SCE-UA) developed by Duan et al. [1992], has been successfully used in hydrological modeling area. This is a serial algorithm and as complexity of ...

This paper considers a class of Heath-Jarrow-Morton (1992) term structure models, characterized by time deterministic volatilities for the instantaneous forward rate. The bias that arises from using observed futures yields as a proxy for the unobserved instantaneous forward rate is analyzed. The fact that futures contracts can be viewed as derivative instruments on the forward rate is used to d...

Sliced inverse regression (Duan and Li (1991), Li (1991)) is an appealing dimension reduction method for regression models with multivariate covariates. It has been extended by Ferré and Yao (2003, 2005) and Hsing and Ren (2009) to functional covariates where the whole trajectories of random functional covariates are completely observed. The focus of this paper is to develop sliced inverse regr...

Single photons are generated from an ensemble of cold Cs atoms via the protocol of Duan et al. [Nature (London), ()]]. Conditioned upon an initial detection from field 1 at 852 nm, a photon in field 2 at 894 nm is produced in a controlled fashion from excitation stored within the atomic ensemble. The single-quantum character of field 2 is demonstrated by the violation of a Cauchy-Schwarz inequa...
