The Spectrum of Tetrahedral Quadruple Systems

An ordered analogue of quadruple systems is tetrahedral quadruple systems. A tetrahedral quadruple system of order v and index λ, TQS(v, λ), is a pair (S, T){(S, \mathcal{T})} where S is a finite set of v elements and T{\mathcal{T}} is a family of oriented tetrahedrons of elements of S called blocks, such that every directed 3-cycle on S is contained in exactly λ blocks of T{\mathcal{T}} . When λ = 1, the spectrum problem of TQS(v, 1) has been completely determined. It is proved that a TQS(v, λ) exists if and only if λ(v − 1)(v − 2) ≡ 0 (mod 3), λv(v − 1)(v − 2) ≡ 0 (mod 4) and v ≥ 4.

A power penalty approach to a mixed quasilinear elliptic complementarity problem

In this paper, a power penalty approximation method is proposed for solving a mixed quasilinear elliptic complementarity problem. The mixed complementarity problem is first reformulated as a double obstacle quasilinear elliptic variational inequality problem. A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation is then defined to approximate the resulting variational inequality by using a power penalty approach. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the partial differential penalty equation are proved. It is shown that, under some mild assumptions, the sequence of solutions to the penalty equations converges to the unique solution of the variational inequality problem as the penalty parameter tends to infinity. The error estimates of the convergence of this penalty approach are also derived. At last, numerical experimental results are presented to show that the power penalty approximation method is efficient and robust.

     

Lie isomorphisms of reflexive algebras

A Lie isomorphism ? between algebras is called trivial if ?=ψ+τ, where ψ is an (algebraic) isomorphism or a negative of an (algebraic) anti-isomorphism, and τ is a linear map with image in the center vanishing on each commutator. In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the triviality of Lie isomorphisms from reflexive algebras with completely distributive and commutative lattices (CDCSL). In particular, we prove that a Lie isomorphism between irreducible CDCSL algebras is trivial if and only if it preserves I-idempotent operators (the sum of an idempotent and a scalar multiple of the identity) in both directions. We also prove the triviality of each Lie isomorphism from a CDCSL algebra onto a CSL algebra which has a comparable invariant projection with rank and corank not one. Some examples of Lie isomorphisms are presented to show the sharpness of the conditions.     

Bispinor Space

In this paper, we give identifications of bispinor space with Grassmann algebra, and with Clifford algebra. The multiplication in Clifford algebra provides an action on them. Lastly we have researched on the geometry of bispinor space, and define Dirac operators to get a Pythagoras equality.

桑蚕种良卵率调查中样本间卵粒数的偏差控制方法

桑蚕种良卵率是蚕种质量检验的重要指标,控制样本间卵粒数的偏差是保证良卵率准确性的关键。通过对桑蚕卵粒重的调查分析,得出其分布服从正态分布。若从一批蚕种中抽取1g卵作为样本,则来自同一总体的2个样本的卵粒数之差不超过16粒,其置信概率为95%;当置信概率取99%时,两个样本的卵粒数之差不超过21粒。文章为蚕业生产提供了一种实用的克卵粒数偏差控制方法。     

Asymmetry in the turbulent flow of a viscoelastic liquid through an axisymmetric sudden expansion

This paper concerns the asymmetry in mean axial velocity distributions for the flow through an axisymmetric sudden expansion of a viscoelastic, shear-thinning aqueous solution of a polyacrylamide (PAA). The asymmetry manifests itself as an azimuthal variation in the length of the recirculation region of the separated flow downstream of the expansion inlet. For water, the flow is found to be axisymmetric. The asymmetry for the PAA flow, which remained unchanged despite alterations to the flow facility, is attributed to the high viscoelasticity of the polymer solution. The conclusion is drawn that the asymmetry is a purely physical feature of such a flow, and not the product of upstream or downstream flow conditions deriving from the flow facility, or the result of geometrical imperfections in the axisymmetric sudden expansion set-up.     

The super-efficiency procedure for outlier identification,not for ranking efficient units

In this paper, we conduct simulation experiments to evaluate the performance of two alternative uses of the super-efficiency procedure in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The first is for outlier identification and the second is for ranking efficient units. We find that the ranking procedure does not perform satisfactorily. In fact, the correlations between the true efficiency and the estimated super-efficiency are negative for the subset of efficient observations, and the conventional DEA model performs as well as the super-efficiency DEA model when all observations are considered. However, when data are contaminated with outliers, the use of the super-efficiency model to identify and remove outliers results in more accurate efficiency estimates than those obtained from the conventional DEA estimation model.
