Nonperturbative terms in the free energy of Chern-Simons gauge theory play a key role in its duality to the closed topological string. We show that these terms are reproduced by performing a double scaling limit near the point where the perturbation expansion diverges. This leads to a derivation of closed string theory from this large-N gauge theory along the lines of noncritical string theorie...

Latent thermal energy storage (LTES) heat exchangers can provide in a broad range of systems. Implementing LTES requires an assessment their performance given system. The exchanger is described by its indicators which are classified as technical, economical, and life-cycle indicators. current paper focusses on the technical indicator specifically predictive methods aid To structure analysis, th...

A dynamic stability criterion for elastic–plastic structures under near-fault ground motions is derived in closed form. A negative post-yield stiffness is treated in order to consider the P-delta effect. The double impulse is used as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion. Since only the free vibration appears under such double impulse, the energy approach plays a critical role...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of derivation on krasner hyperrings as follows: the function d : r  r isa derivation on a krasner hyperring r if for all , , ry x  ) ( ) ( = ) ( y d x d y x d   andd (x  y) d (x)  y  x  d ( y). then, we investigate some fundamental properties of derivation on krasnerhyperings and prime krasner hyperrings. also, we introduce differential krasner hy...
