The truncation of a pair potential at a distance r_cut is well-known to imply in general an impulsive correction to the pressure and other moments of the first derivatives of the potential. That depending on r_cut the truncation may also be…
This paper considers linear-quadratic control of a non-linear dynamical system subject to arbitrary cost. I show that for this class of stochastic control problems the non-linear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation can be transformed into a…

We study the shear jamming of athermal frictionless soft spheres, and find that in the thermodynamic limit, a shear-jammed state exists with different elastic properties from the isotropically-jammed state. For example, shear-jammed states…
