Fuzzy subgroups of finite groups have been treated recently using the concept of pinnedflags. In this paper, we consider the operations of intersection, sum, product, and quotient of fuzzy subgroups of finite abelian groups in general, in terms of pinned-flags. We develop algorithms to construct pinned-flags of fuzzy subgroups corresponding to these operations and prove their validity. We illus...

Exploiting the peculiar properties of proximity-induced superconductivity on the surface of a topological insulator, we propose a device, which allows the creation of a Majorana fermion inside the core of a pinned Abrikosov vortex. The relevant Bogolyubov-de Gennes equations are studied analytically. We demonstrate that in this system the zero-energy Majorana-fermion state is separated by a lar...

We propose a solution to a long-standing problem: how to terminate multiple vortices in the heart, when the locations of their cores and their critical time windows are unknown. We scan the phases of all pinned vortices in parallel with electric field pulses (E-pulses). We specify a condition on pacing parameters that guarantees termination of one vortex. For more than one vortex with significa...

In 1903 Walter Ramsden found that an air bubble placed in a liquid suspension of microscopic particles “can be seen to pick up the particles ... and to retain them obstinately ...”1 Ramsden had discovered the strong affinity of colloidal particles to fluid interfaces, an affinity that a century later can be harnessed to make microstructured materials such as Pickering emulsions, colloidosomes a...

In this master thesis we present an algorithm for distributed event-triggered pinning control of a network of nonlinear oscillators. In order to extend the concepts of connected, switching connected and slow switching topology to a pinning control scenario, we introduce the definitions of pinned, switching pinned and frequently pinned topology respectively. For each of these three topologies we...

A finite element (FE) model is developed to investigate mode I delamination toughness of z-pin reinforced composite laminates. The z-pin pullout process is simulated by the deformation of a set of non-linear springs. A critical crack opening displacement (COD) criterion is used to simulate crack growth in a double-cantilever-beam (DCB) made of z-pinned laminates. The toughness of the structure ...

We study the interplay of Anderson localization and interaction in a two chain Hubbard ladder allowing for arbitrary ratio of disorder strength to interchain coupling. We obtain three different types of spin gapped localized phases depending on the strength of disorder: a pinned 4kF Charge Density Wave (CDW) for weak disorder, a pinned 2kF CDW π for intermediate disorder and two independently p...
