The extremal function for K9= minors

We prove the extremal function for $K_9^{=}$ minors, where $K_9^{=}$ denotes the complete graph $K_9$ with two edges removed. In particular, we show that any graph with $n\ge 8$ vertices and at least $6n-20$ edges either contains a $K_9^{=}$ minor or is isomorphic to a graph obtained from disjoint copies of $K_8$ and $K_{2,2,2,2,2}$ by identifying cliques of size 5. We utilize computer assistance to prove one of our lemmas.     

Regularized gap functions and error bounds for split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems

In this paper, we consider a class of split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems in real Hilbert spaces and establish new gap functions by using the method of the nonlinear scalarization function. Further, we obtain some error bounds for the underlying split mixed vector quasivariational inequality problems in terms of regularized gap functions. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our results. The results obtained in this paper are new.     

Bio-silica incorporated barium ferrite composites: Evaluation of structure,morphology, magnetic and microwave absorption traits

A series of bio-silica incorporated barium-ferrite-composites with the composition of (x)Bio-SiO₂:(80-x)γ-Fe₂O₃:(20)BaO, where x = 0, 1, 2, and 3 wt% were prepared using the modified solid-state reaction method. The influence of different bio-silica (extricated from sintered rice husk) contents on the surface morphologies, structures, and magnetic characteristics of these composites were assessed. The relative complex permittivity and permeability were resolved using the Nicholson-Ross-Weir strategy in the frequency range of 8–13 GHz. Meanwhile, the reflection loss was estimated through the transmission/reflection line theory to assess the MW absorption properties of the composites. Incorporation of the bio-silica in the barium ferrite composites generated a new hexagonal phase (Ba₃Fe₃₂O₅₁) and a tetragonal phase (BaFeSi₄O₁₀) which led to a decrease in the saturation magnetization and significant shift in the MW frequency absorption peak positions.

Analytic hierarchy process for multi-sensor data fusion based on belief function theory

Multi-sensor data fusion is an evolving technology whereby data from multiple sensor inputs are processed and combined. The data derived from multiple sensors can, however, be uncertain, imperfect, and conflicting. The present study is undertaken to help contribute to the continuous search for viable approaches to overcome the problems associated with data conflict and imperfection. Sensor readings, represented by belief functions, have to be fused according to their corresponding weights. Previous studies have often estimated the weights of sensor readings based on a single criterion. Mono-criteria approaches for the assessment of sensor reading weights are, however, often unreliable and inadequate for the reflection of reality. Accordingly, this work opts for the use of a multi-criteria decision aid. A modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) that incorporates several criteria is proposed to determine the weights of a sensor reading set. The approach relies on the automation of pairwise comparisons to eliminate subjectivity and reduce inconsistency. It assesses the weight of each sensor reading, and fuses the weighed readings obtained using a modified average combination rule. The efficiency of this approach is evaluated in a target recognition context. Several tests, sensitivity analysis, and comparisons with other approaches available in the literature are described.     

CL-20/TNT共晶炸药的分子动力学研究

运用分子动力学(MD)方法,选择凝聚态分子势能优化力场(COMPASS),对六硝基六氮杂异伍兹烷(ε-CL-20)、2,4,6-三硝基甲苯(TNT)晶体及其等摩尔比的CL-20/TNT混合炸药和共晶炸药进行不同温度下恒定粒子数等压等温(NPT)系综模拟研究.结果表明,CL-20/TNT共晶的内聚能密度(CED)和结合能随温度的升高逐渐减小;共晶的CED比混合炸药的大,结合能是混合炸药的2倍多,预示其稳定性明显增强.对相关函数和局部放大结构显示共晶中组分分子间作用主要来自TNT中H和CL-20中O以及CL-20中H和TNT中O之间形成的氢键.通过波动法求得的弹性力学性能结果表明,CL-20/TNT共晶的拉伸模量(E)、体积模量(K)和剪切模量(G)介于ε-CL-20和TNT晶体之间,且随温度的升高而下降,符合一般预期;但共晶炸药的柯西压(C12-C44,Cij弹性系数)、K/G和泊松比(ν)均比其组分炸药ε-CL-20和TNT高得多,预示该共晶具有异常高的延展性和弹性伸长,主要是二组分呈层状交替排列且之间存在较强相互作用所致.     

POD enriched boundary models and their optimal stabilisation

Modes obtained using the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition are used as boundary enrichment functions within a variational multiscale method for the stochastically forced Burgers equation. Initially, large increases in accuracy are obtained using the enrichment functions without stabilisation terms. Then, optimal coefficients for the stabilisation parameter τ of the unresolved scale model are calibrated using a goal‐oriented model‐constrained optimisation technique, resulting in further improvements. As both the determination of the enrichment functions and the optimisation of the coefficients requires high‐accuracy reference data, a scaling procedure is introduced to allow their use over range of conditions. Numerical experiments confirm that the scaling procedure is effective. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Construction Theory of Function on Local Fields

We establish the construction theory of function based upon a local field K p as underlying space. By virture of the concept of pseudo-differential operator, we introduce "fractal calculus"(or, p-type calculus, or, Gibbs-Butzer calculus). Then, show the Jackson direct approximation theorems, Bermstein inverse approximation theorems and the equivalent approximation theorems for compact group D( Kp) and locally compact group K+p(= Kp), so that the foundation of construction theory of function on local fields is established. Moreover, the Jackson type, Bernstein type,and equivalent approximation theorems on the H ?lder-type space Cσ(Kp), σ 0, are proved; then the equivalent approximation theorem on Sobolev-type space Wrσ(Kp),σ≥ 0, 1 ≤ r +∞, is shown.     

Doppler effects of an oscillating line source in shear flow with a free surface

The linearised water-wave radiation problem for the oscillating 2D submerged source in an inviscid shear flow with a free surface is investigated analytically. There is a nonzero surface velocity. The depth is infinite and the vorticity is uniform. The amplitudes radiated from the source are calculated analytically. Due to Doppler effects, there may be up to four different emitted waves, and there is resonance with zero group velocity and infinite amplitude.
