The deviatoric and isotropic source components for 17 explosions at the Nevada Test Site, as well as 12 earthquakes and 3 collapses in the surrounding region of the western US, are calculated using a regional time-domain full waveform inversion for the complete moment tensor. The events separate into specific populations according to their deviation from a pure double-couple and ratio of isotro...

[1] We analyze moment tensor solutions from deep subduction zone earthquakes to determine global slab deformation patterns. Inferred strain rates are compared to predicted deformation patterns from fluid models to help constrain the first‐order radial and lateral viscosity structure of the Earth. While all slabs that reach the lower mantle are compressed at their tip, intermediate depth pattern...

Density functional theory offers a very accurate way of computing materials properties from first principles. However, it is too expensive for modeling large-scale molecular systems whose properties are, in contrast, computed using interatomic potentials. The present paper considers, from a mathematical point of view, the problem of constructing interatomic potentials that approximate a given q...

where ∆ is the Laplace operator with respect to x and x, D = Eh/12(1 − ν) is the bending rigidity, E is Young’s modulus, ν is Poisson’s ratio, h is the thickness of the plate, ρ is the mass per unit area of the plate middle-plane, δ is the Kronecker delta symbol and ε is the alternating symbol. Here and throughout the work: Greek (Latin) indices range over 1, 2 (1, 2, 3), unless explicitly stat...

A bstract The muon anomalous magnetic moment continues to attract attention due the possible tension between experimentally measured value and theoretical Standard Model prediction. With aim reduce uncertainty on hadronic light-by-light contribution moment, we derive short-distance constraints in Melnikov-Vainshtein regime which are useful for data-driven determinations. In this kinematical reg...

We introduce Banach algebras arising from tensor norms. By these Banach algebras we make Arensregular Banach algebras such that tensor product becomes irregular, where is tensor norm. Weillustrate injective tensor product, does not preserve bounded approximate identity and it is notalgebra norm.
