One can diminish this smoothness effect by introducing another stabilizing functional which minimizes the area where significant variations of the model parameters and/or discontinuity occur (Portniaguine and Zhdanov, 1999). This stabilizer is called a minimum gradient support (MGS) functional. For the sake of simplicity we will discuss first a minimum support (MS) functional, which provides a model with a minimum area of the distribution of anomalous parameters. The minimum support functional was considered first by Last and Kubik (1983), where the authors suggested seeking a source distribution with the minimum volume (compactness) to explain the anomaly. 

Thus, sp (m) can be treated as a functional, proportional (for a small p) to the model parameter support. We can use this functional to introduce a minimum support stabilizing functional Sms (m) as... 

To prove this, let us consider the first variation (see Appendix D) of the minimum support functional ... 

We can use thi.s property of the minimum support functional to increase the resolution of blocky structures. To do so, we modify s s (m) and introduce a minimum gradient support functional as... 

The next step is an illustration of the importance of selecting an ai)[)ropriate stabilizing functional. We use now the minimum support stabilizing functional (2.61) (Portniaguinc and Zhdanov, 1999), introduced in Chapter 2 ... 

Note that one can use different stabilizers in the parametric functional (12.86), for example, the minimum support or minimum gradient support functionals introduced in Chapter 2. As a result, we will arrive at focusing inversion of EM data, similar to the method of focusing inversion of MT data, developed in Chapter 10.

An important application for aqueous dispersions of PTFE is the architectural fabric market. This product consists of fiberglass fabric coated with special forms of the aqueous dispersion. The resulting material is used as roofs in a wide variety of buildings, especially where a large area must be covered with minimum support. Notable examples of such use are the Pontiac Silver Dome, the airport terminal in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (where 105 acres are enclosed), and many college and university stadiums or union buildings. 

The height of end-support may be determined by the structural thickness of coal seam. According to the domestic experience and the size of basic supports in 43B2 working face, the minimum support height of new end-support is 1.90 m, and the maximum is 3.90 m. 

Minimum - support probably required for less than 10% of length of bore, except where extensively fractured Moderate - support may be required for as much as 50% of length of bore, more where extensively fractured Maximum - support probably required for entire length of bore... 

Putting aside some subtleties (e.g., does the minimum support a vibrational level), the minima correspond to stable struetures, sinee a small deviation from the minimum position causes a gradient of the potential to become non-zero, and this means a force pushing the system back towards the minimum position.

The support width will be Nj, = 23.6 in. Add 3 in required temperature movement, the total required support width equals to 26.5 in. The required minimum support width for seismic case equals to the sum of bridge seismic displacement, bridge temperature displacement, and the reserved edge displacement (usually 4 in). In this example, this requirement equals to 14 in, not in control. Based on the 26.5 in minimum requirement, the design uses 30 in, OK. A preliminary abutment configuration is shown in Figure 6.14 based on the given information and calculated support width. 

Despite this dynamic uncertainty, engineers must construct plans to control risk and predict hazard in the everyday working operations of the mines. Roof-support engineers, for example, must map underground faults, determine stress and load levels, and construct plans that outline the minimum support methods and requirements for each section of the mine. These support requirements include a broad plan for overall roof support as well as site-specific rules for pillar width and additional support. But engineers must also be prepared to respond to change.
