A novel technique to determine invariant curves in nonlinear beam dynamics based on the method of formal series has been developed. It is first shown how the solution of the Hamilton equations of motion describing nonlinear betatron oscillations in the presence of a single sextupole can be represented in a nonperturbative form. Further, the solutio...

In this paper, we present the topological space of intervals based symbolic m-plithogenic real numbers of orders between 2 and 5, where we clarify how m-plithogenic real intervals can be expressed according to the symbolic plithogenic partial order relation, and we use these intervals to build a topological space. On the other hand, many illustrate...

We study the spectral behavior of (sequences of) matrices resulting from immersed isogeometric discretizations on trimmed geometries. They enjoy an asymptotic spectral distribution, described by a (spectral) symbol, and we discuss some properties of this symbol. In particular, we show that the structure and properties of the symbol are completely a...

This article explores the link between anti-gender mobilization and the mainstreaming of the far right.

Drawing from a social movement approach, the article contributes a novel operationalization of the mainstream...

Building upon the interpolative classical results of D. Achour, P. Rueda, and R. Yahi for Lipschitz ideals we define the interpolative fuzzy Lipschitz ideal concept for fuzzy Lipschitz operators between fuzzy metric spaces and complete fuzzy normed spaces which is a natural generalization of the notion of absolutely (crisp) Lipschitz (p, θ)-summing...

A sizable portion of Sinhala-Buddhists, including monks, supported the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)-led National People's Power (NPP) in the recent September 2024 presidential election. The results indicate that the JVP captured a significant share of votes from Mahinda Rajapaksa's traditional Sinhala-Buddhist base. A key political symbol of the...

The study explores in a metaphorical key an idea of the Nobelist Maurice Maeterlinck about potentiating the dramatic text and emphasizing predestination by interpreting texts not by actors but by puppets. Going through experiences from the world of puppet theater and the construction of automata, one can come to the conclusion that the perfecting o...

In the first part of this two-part paper, we construct a family MFD$_2$ of low-correlation quaternary spreading codes having period $2046$. By quaternary, we mean that the spreading code symbols are drawn from $Z_4$ and are designed to be used in conjunction with QPSK modulation. Apart from low auto and crosscorrelation properties, we also require...

This book challenges the narrative of the revival of Greek science during the early modern age and offers a global microhistory of the cross‑cultural legacy between the Arabo‑Persian and Hellenistic astronomical traditions, which converged through the efforts of Byzantine émigrés such as Bessarion. An examination of Bessarion’s life and manuscripts...

Common themes in his art are beggars and vagrants, which he uses as a symbol for human frailty, and mothers opposing violence, characters that could be mistaken for the Madonna. His opposition to violence and anti-war themes in his art were acquired during his military service. He stated that his art is "a denouncement and an invitation to no longe...

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) significantly influences the complexity and variability of the global climate system, driving its variability. ENSO events’ irregularity and unpredictability arise from intricate ocean–atmosphere interactions and nonlinear feedback mechanisms, complicating their prediction of timing, intensity, and geographic...

Relations among states have always been characterized by conflicts that have led to resort to the use of armed force amongst them. However, history has also consistently seen efforts to regulate the use of armed force in hostilities. That effort climaxed in the twentieth century when war was declared a non-essential feature of statecraft. During th...

The goal of the paper is to construct and analyze a hybrid model describing patch biocommunity dynamics with variable structure interspecific interactions.

Among overseas “New Qing History” scholars, the Ming Empire is typically interpreted as an ethnically Han-Chinese regime that lacked the characteristics of Inner Asian polities. This author, however, asserts that this view is incorrect. Like the Qing, the emperors of the Ming ruled as qaghans over their northern steppe subjects and as the incarnati...

Often understood as a dissolution of the ego, mental illness implies a process of deconstruction where the psychotic faces the most frightening limits one can encounter: the limits of perception, the limits of understanding, the limits of vulnerability, and above all, the limits of intersubjectivity. The present paper aims to explore mental illness...

Past research indicates that concepts of infinity are not fully understood. In countably infinite sets, infinity is presumed to be perceived as larger than any finite natural number.
