Optimality theory for semi-infinite linear programming ∗

This paper presents an exhaustive approach to optimality theory in semi-infinite linear programming, placing a special emphasis on generality. After surveying optimality conditions for general problems, a detailed analysis is made of problems in which the coefficients are continuous functions of a parameter which varies on a compact set, adopting a feasible directions approach. Lastly, the case of analytical coefficients over an interval is considered in some detail.     

基于EKF的水下LD通信精对准控制算法

高速激光通信中接收机与光斑中心很难处于精对准状态,导致水下光通信链路难以稳定建立.首先采用蒙特卡洛仿真统计法分析激光光子在海水中传输的接收光强分布规律,再通过实验对接收端的光斑图像进行采样分析,利用曲线拟合得到接收器位置与接收光强的关系.仿真与实验结果表明:光束经过25 m的水下传输,接收光强分布仍近似为高斯分布.采用非线性估计算法(扩展卡尔曼滤波)与基本状态控制反馈理论,根据接收光强度估计接收器当前位置与最大光强处的距离,通过反馈算法实现接收端与光斑中心的主动跟踪对准.算法仿真结果显示,接收端对准误差在2 mm以下,稳定后接收效率超过98%.     

Investigation of the equality constraint effect on the reduction of the rotational ambiguity in three-component system using a novel grid search method

The obtained results by soft modeling multivariate curve resolution methods often are not unique and are questionable because of rotational ambiguity. It means a range of feasible solutions equally fit experimental data and fulfill the constraints. Regarding to chemometric literature, a survey of useful constraints for the reduction of the rotational ambiguity is a big challenge for chemometrician. It is worth to study the effects of applying constraints on the reduction of rotational ambiguity, since it can help us to choose the useful constraints in order to impose in multivariate curve resolution methods for analyzing data sets. In this work, we have investigated the effect of equality constraint on decreasing of the rotational ambiguity. For calculation of all feasible solutions corresponding with known spectrum, a novel systematic grid search method based on Species-based Particle Swarm Optimization is proposed in a three-component system.     

Dew Points of Binary Methane + Water: Measurement and Correlation

Experimental measurements of dew points for four methane + water mixtures between 2.6 2 10 5 Pa and 100.4 2 10 5 Pa and the temperature range from 225.5 K to 272.7 K were carried out. The experimental results were analysed in terms of both an equation of state model and an excess function-equation of state method, which reproduced the experimental data within AAD from 1.8 to 3.1 K and from 0.9 to 1.8 K, respectively.     

D-admissible hybrid control of a class of singular systems

This paper mainly studies the problem of designing a hybrid state feedback D-admissible controller for a class of linear and nonlinear singular systems. Based on the relationship between singular discrete systems and singular delta operator systems, several necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear singular delta operator system to be D-admissible (i.e. regular, causal and all finite poles lie in a prescribed circular region) with different representations are derived. Then, the existence conditions and explicit expressions of a desirable D-admissible controller are given by means of matrix inequalities and strict linear matrix inequalities, respectively. We further extend the obtained results to singular delta operator systems with Lipschitz nonlinear perturbations, and the design methods of hybrid controller are presented for the nonlinear case as well. Finally, numerical examples as well as simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical outcomes obtained in the paper.     

A NEW SYSTEM EXHIBITING A HIGH BARRIER TO ROTATION ABOUT THE P—N BOND. SYNTHESES AND SPECTRAL STUDIES OF 1,3,2-DIAZAPHOSPHETIDIN-4-ONE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

1,3,2-Diazaphosphetidin-4-one derivatives were synthesized. Their ¹H NMR signals at ambient temperature displaed a broad doublet which eventually coalesced before becoming sharp upon warming, and the ¹³C NMR spectra also showed that the α-and β-carbons of the dialkylamino group were non-equivalent. The phenomena were ascribed to restricted rotation about the exocyclic P—N bond.     

Solvent-Polymer Interaction. II. Measurements of Liquid Solvent Molecules Associating with Polymer Sites and of Their Transport Behavior in Polymer Membrane by Thermogravimetry,GLC, and Mass Spectrometry

The measurement of sorption and diffusion behavior of liquid ethanol and water solvent mixtures in polyurethane membrane were made simultaneously by thermogravimetry. The individual amounts of sorbed water and ethanol in the polymer membrane were estimated by thermogravimetry and differentiated by mass spectrometry. In addition, from a single dynamic thermogravimetric experiment the activation energy for solvent molecules desorbing from the polymer membrane was also determined. The thermodynamic activity of ethanol vapor in equilibrium with the ethanol-water-polyurethane system was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The clustering functions, the mean numbers of solvent molecules in the clusters, and those associating with polymer sites were evaluated by applying simplified mathematical derivatives using the experimentally determined values of activity and volume fraction of solvent molecules. It was found that at lower ethanol concentration the tendency for ethanol molecules to cluster together is high. At higher ethanol activity, ethanol-polymer site interactions predominantly occurred.

Similar results were observed for ethanol-water molecules. However, water molecules in this particular system did not exhibit a self-associating tendency nor interact with the polymer sites. It was concluded that the Zimm-Lundberg clustering theory can be adequately applied to the interpretation of sorption and diffusion behavior of liquid ethanol-water mixtures in the polymer membrane.
