On the Use of the Generalized Littlewood Theorem Concerning Integrals of the Logarithm of Analytical Functions for the Calculation of Infinite Sums and the Analysis of Zeroes of Analytical Functions

Serguei Sekatski

Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calcul ...

Integration of feedforward and feedback control in the neuromechanics of vertebrate locomotion: a review of experimental, simulation and robotic studies

Auke Ijspeert

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying mechanisms requires an integrative approach. Comparative experimental biology has ...
