We explore the constraints on the three-nucleon force (3NF) of chiral effective field theory (χ
EFT) that are provided by bound-state observables in the A= 3 and A= 4 sectors. Our …

Chiral effective field theory (χ EFT) provides a systematic approach to describe low-energy
nuclear forces. Moreover, χ EFT is able to provide well-founded estimates of statistical and …

We propose a versatile approach to computing the effective toughness of heterogeneous
media. This approach focusses on the material property independent of the details of the …

Basal friction beneath ice sheets remains poorly characterized and yet is a fundamental
control on ice mechanics. Here we use a complete map of surface velocity of the Antarctic …

We use the finite-amplitude method for computing charge-changing Skyrme–quasiparticle
random-phase approximation (QRPA) transition strengths in axially-deformed nuclei …

Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is one of the main theoretical tools used to study the
properties of heavy and superheavy elements, or to describe the structure of nuclei far from …

We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of
moments (SMM) estimators for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate …

The goal of this paper is to investigate an approach for derivative-free optimization that has
not received sufficient attention in the literature and is yet one of the simplest to implement …

We address the problem of estimating the uncertainty in the solution of power grid inverse
problems within the framework of Bayesian inference. We investigate two approaches, an …

A unitary transformation allows to remove redundant terms in the two-nucleon (2 N) contact
interaction at the fourth order (N3LO) in the low-energy expansion of chiral effective field …
