No Need to Know: Toward Astrophysics-free Gravitational-wave Cosmology by Amanda M. Farah, Thomas A. Callister, Jose María Ezquiaga, Michael Zevin, Daniel E. Holz

“…However, the use of an inaccurate representation leads to biases in the cosmological inference, an acute problem given the current uncertainties in true source population. Furthermore, it is commonly presumed that the form of the mass distribution must be known a priori to obtain unbiased measurements of cosmological parameters in this fashion. …”

Polarized $$W^+W^-$$ W + W - pairs at the LHC: Effects from bottom-quark induced processes at NLO QCD + EW by Thi Nhung Dao, Duc Ninh Le

“…A bound of the tW interference is calculated for various kinematic distributions, showing that this interference effect is, in general, smaller for the no jet veto case. Relevant scale uncertainties are calculated to help us decide on the importance of this interference.…”

Guaranteeing Prescribed Performance Control for Gyrostabilized Platform with Unknown Control Direction Preceded by Hysteresis by Yexing Wang, Humin Lei, Jikun Ye, Xiangwei Bu, Yali Xue

“…Furthermore, the exploited controllers are accurate model independent, which guarantees satisfactory robustness of control laws against unknown uncertainties. Finally, the stability of the closed-loop control system is confirmed via Lyapunov stability theory, and numerical simulations are given for a GSP to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.…”

Load Identification Method Based on Interval Analysis and Tikhonov Regularization and Its Application by Chunsheng Liu, Chunping Ren, Nengjian Wang

“…The results show that the deviations between the identified dynamic force and the actual dynamic force are basically within 2% and 5%, and the average uncertainties are up to 7% and 10%. Therefore, the proposed method can effectively determine the upper and lower boundaries of dynamic force of the end-plate pick, improve the solving efficiency, and provide a new research method for studying the coal rock mechanism of the pick cutting load.…”
