In this article we present a method to extend high order finite volume schemes to networks of hyperbolic conservation laws with algebraic coupling conditions. This method is based on an ADER approach in time to solve the generalized Riemann problem at the junction. Additionally to the high order accuracy, this approach maintains an exact conservation of quantities if stated by the coupling cond...

The symmetric coupling of mixed nite element and boundary element methods is analysed for a model interface problem with the Laplacian. The coupling involves a further continuous ansatz function on the interface to link the discontinuous displacement eld to the necessarily continuous boundary ansatz function. Quasi-optimal a priori error estimates and sharp a posteriori error estimates are esta...

In this paper, we consider a leader-following consensus problem of a group of autonomous agents with time-varying coupling delays. Two different cases of coupling topologies are investigated. At first, a necessary and sufficient condition is proved in the case when the interconnection topology is fixed and directed. Then a sufficient condition is proposed in the case when the coupling topology ...

This paper investigates the hypothesis that the motivational system of an autonomous agent should be operationally coupled with the world it is situated in. Operational coupling is structural coupling plus explicit representation of problem parameters that are observable and adjustable and relies on the definition of regulatory, inter-dependent innate desires. This coupling is such that the age...

The problem of coupling between spin and torsion is analysed from a Lyra's manifold background for scalar and vector massive fields using the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) theory. We found the propagation of the torsion is dynamical, and the minimal coupling of DKP field corresponds to a non-minimal coupling in the standard Klein-Gordon-Fock and Proca approaches. The origin of this difference in t...

An one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of azo dyes via sequential diazotization–diazo coupling of aromatic amines with coupling agents at room temperature in the presence of Bi(NO3)3. 5H2O. Short reaction times, high yields, a clean process, simple methodology, easy work-up and green ‎conditions are advantages of this protocol.‎

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of grasp conditions (types of grasp, grasp width, glove and types of coupling) on maximal pushing force (MPF) and required pinch force (RPF) during snap fit assembly. The results indicated that the type of grasp, the type of coupling and wearing gloves have significant (p

" Market Coupling " is currently seen as the most advanced market design in the restructuring of the European electricity market. Market coupling, by construction, introduces what is generally referred to as an incomplete market: it leaves several constraints out of the market and hence avoids pricing them. This may or may not have important consequences in practice depending on the case on han...
