Cover Story: To simultaneously address uncertainties in the rock mechanical properties and high computational requirements associated with the conventional model predictive control approach to calculating the control moves at each sampling time, we proposed an approximate dynamic programming-based approach for the closed-loop control of hydraulic fracturing to achieve the target proppant concentration at the end of pumping, which is directly related to the production rate of oil reservoirs.

  • Ioannis Pavlidis

14 August 2018

In this paper, we demonstrate that interventions and stressors do not necessarily cause the same distractions in all people; therefore, it is impossible to evaluate the impacts of interventions and stressors on traffic accidents. We analyzed publicly...

Let X ⊂ P r be an integral and non-degenerate variety. We study when a finite set S ⊂ X evinces the X-rank of the general point of the linear span of S. We give a criterion when X is the order d Veronese embedding X n ,...

Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs), an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), inherit the duality property of IFSs and have a more powerful ability than IFSs to model the obscurity in practical decision-making problems. In this research study, we...

Explicit Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff Expansions

  • Alexander Van-Brunt and
  • Matt Visser

8 August 2018

The Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff (BCH) expansion is a general purpose tool of use in many branches of mathematics and theoretical physics. Only in some special cases can the expansion be evaluated in closed form. In an earlier article we demo...

  • Prashanth Siddhamshetty and
  • Joseph S. Kwon

1 August 2018

Hydraulic fracturing has played a crucial role in enhancing the extraction of oil and gas from deep underground sources. The two main objectives of hydraulic fracturing are to produce fractures with a desired fracture geometry and to achieve the targ...
