The Problem of Subrayleigh Resolution in Interference Microscopy

A method allowing subwavelength resolution within the framework of optical interferometric microscopy is proposed. It is shown that overcoming the diffraction limit is not a necessary requirement. Generally speaking, subrayleigh resolution and overcoming the diffraction limit are basically different concepts. The method developed uses the all-parameter modulation of the light source and separation of the phase shifts generated due to different reasons. In this method, a topological phase technique is used to separate the phases and therefore determine the corresponding characteristics of an object. The approach developed provides for a way to create a new type of optical devices. Within the framework of a uniform measuring procedure these devices make possible determining both geometrical and material parameters of the object under study.     

Electron density investigation of a push-pull ethylene (C14H24N2O2.H2O) by X-ray diffraction at T = 21 K

The electron charge distribution in a strongly twisted push-pull ethylene [PPE, 3-(1,3-diisopropyl-2-imidazolidinylidene)-2,4-pentanedione] has been determined by low temperature (T = 21 K) single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The derived electronic properties are consistent with a zwitterionic molecule, as indicated by a charge transfer of 0.82(16) e from the push to the pull moieties and a charge polarization of 0.29(7) e on the olefinic bond. A dipole moment of 12(3) D has been determined, which compares well with ab initio theoretical results in terms of both modulus and orientation. The second moments, which have also been obtained with good precision, characterize PPE as a highly quadrupolar molecule. The special electronic features of the molecule confer particular topological properties to the electron density distribution, as evidenced by comparison with "standard" organic molecules. The crystallographic asymmetric unit of the present system includes one water molecule, which is hydrogen bonded to PPE. Its topological properties have also been investigated, together with an analysis of the hydrogen bonds involved.

Periodic Solution of a Nonautonomous Diffusive Food Chain System of Three Species with Time Delays

Abstract By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory,the existence of a positive periodicsolution for a nonautonomous diffusive food chain system of three species. dx_1(t)/dt=x_1(t)[r_1(t)-a_(11)(t)x_1(t)-a_(12)(t)x_2(t)]+D_1(t)[y(t)-x_1(t)], dx_2(t)/dt=x_2(t)[-r_2(t)+a_(21)(t)x_1(t-r_1)-a_(22)(t)x_2(t)-a_(23)(t)x_3(t)], dx_3(t)/dt=x_3(t)[-r_3(t)+a_(32)(t)x_2(t-r_2)-a_(33)(t)x_3(t)], dy(t)/dt=y(t)[r_4(t)-a_(44)(t)y(t)]+D_2(t)[x_1(t)-y(t)]+D_2(t)[x_1(t)-y(t)],is established,where,r_i(t),a_(ii)(t)(i=1,2,3,4),D_i(t)(i=1,2),a_(12)(t),a_(21)(t),a_(23)(t)and a_(32)(t) are all positiveperiodic continuous functions with period w>0,T_i(i=1,2)are positive constants.     

AFPP vs FPP

The main theme of this paper is that almost fixed point properties of discrete structures and fixed point properties of (topological) spaces are interdeducible via a suitable category which contains both graphs and spaces as objects. To carry out the program, we have to consider (almost) fixed points of multifunctions, and for this we need a preliminary discussion of power structures for graphs and simplicial complexes. Specific applications developed are: a digital convexity (discrete) version of Kakutani's fixed point theorem for convex-valued multifunctions; and fixed point properties of dendrites in terms of those of finite discrete trees.     

The Tracial Topological Rank of C*-Algebras

We introduce the notion of tracial topological rank for C*-algebras.In the commutative case, this notion coincides with the coveringdimension. Inductive limits of C*-algebrasof the form PM_n(C(X))P,where X is a compact metric space with dim X k, and P is aprojection in M_n(C(X)), have tracial topological rank no morethan k. Non-nuclear C*-algebras can have small tracial topologicalrank. It is shown that if A is a simple unital C*-algebra withtracial topological rank k (< ), then

(i) A is quasidiagonal,

(ii) A has stable rank 1,

(iii) A has weakly unperforatedK₀(A),

(iv) A has the following Fundamental Comparabilityof Blackadar:if p, q A are two projections with (p) < (q)for all tracialstates on A, then p q

Multiresolution Analysis and Radon Measures on a Locally Compact Abelian Group

A multiresolution analysis is defined in a class of locally compact abelian groups G. It is shown that the spaces of integrable functions and the complex Radon measures M(G) admit a simple characterization in terms of this multiresolution analysis.     

Self-Orthogonal Compact Spreads and Unitals in Topological Translation Planes

A spread of is a set of l-dimensional subspaces L V partitioning V {0}. We construct examples of compact spreads that are identical with their sets of orthogonal spaces L . In the corresponding topological translation planes, every Euclidean sphere is a unital with the additional property that every point at infinity has flat feet.     

First Alexandroff Decomposition Theorem for Topological Lattice Group Valued Measures

Let (X, F) be an Alexandroff space, let A(F) be the Boolean subalgebra of 2 ^X generated by F, let G be a Hausdorff commutative topological lattice group and let rba_F(A(F), G) denote the set of all order bounded F-inner regular finitely additive set functions from A(F) into G. Using some special properties of the elements of rba_F(A(F), G), we extend to this setting the first decomposition theorem of Alexandroff.
