In this report, we use the complex-step derivative approximation technique to compute sensitivities for delay differential equations (DDEs) with non-smooth (discontinuous and even distributional) ...

All circuits, analog or digital, have characteristics dependent on the values of their component parts. Invariably, these parts are non-ideal in many ways. Even their most fundamental characteristics, ...

If it were easy to pin down the exact value for our planet’s sensitivity to greenhouse gas emission, it would have been done a long time ago—and you wouldn’t be reading yet another news story about it ...
