Generalized Jacobi spectral Galerkin method for fractional pantograph differential equation

This work is concerned with the extension of the Jacobi spectral Galerkin method to a class of nonlinear fractional pantograph differential equations. First, the fractional differential equation is converted to a nonlinear Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel. Second, we analyze the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the obtained integral equation. Then, the Galerkin method is used for solving the equivalent integral equation. The error estimates for the proposed method are also investigated. Finally, illustrative examples are presented to confirm our theoretical analysis.     

基于混合空穴注入层的湿法制备高效蓝光热激活延迟有机发光二极管

在溶液法制备有机电致发光器件(OLEDs)的研究中, PEDOT∶PSS由于具有较好的成膜性与高透光性而常被用作器件的空穴注入层。但相关研究表明, PEDOT∶PSS本身稳定性较差以及功函数较低,这使得溶液法制备OLEDs的性能差且不稳定。蓝色作为全彩色的三基色之一,制备高效的蓝光器件对于实现高质量显示器件和固态照明装置必不可少。而目前溶液法制备蓝光OLEDs的器件效率普遍较差,针对此问题,本文利用传统的蓝光热激活延迟荧光发光(TADF)材料DMAC-DPS作为发光层,用溶液法制备了蓝光TADF OLEDs,通过在PEDOT∶PSS中掺杂PSS-Na制备混合空穴注入层(mix-HIL)来提高空穴注入层的功函数,研究其对于蓝光TADF OLEDs器件性能的影响。首先在PEDOT∶PSS水溶液中掺入不同体积的PSS-Na溶液,在相同条件下旋涂制膜,进行器件制备。通过观测各个实验组器件的电致发光(EL)光谱,发现掺入PSS-Na后器件EL谱存在光谱蓝移的现象,这是由于掺入PSS-Na水溶液后, mix-HIL层的厚度有所降低,使得在微腔效应作用下, EL光谱发生蓝移。通过对比各组器件的电流密度-电压-亮度(J-V-L)曲线及其计算所得器件的电流效率,结果显示随着PSS-Na的掺入,器件的亮度和电流都有所增大,器件的电流效率也得到了提升,当掺杂比例为0.5∶0.5(PEDOT∶PSS/PSS-Na)时提升幅度最大(亮度提升86.7%,电流效率提升34.3%)。通过在瞬态电致发光测试过程中施加或撤去驱动电压观测了器件EL强度的变化,分析了在混合空穴注入层/发光层(mix-HIL/EML)界面处的电荷积累情况。实验证明,通过在PEDOT∶PSS中掺杂PSS-Na制备mix-HIL获得了蓝光TADF OLEDs器件性能的提升,这是一个获得高效率溶液法制备OLEDs的可行方法。     

Statistical structure of the velocity field in cavitating flow around a 2D hydrofoil

Transformation of flow turbulence structure with cavitation occurrence, determination of the flow conditions favorable for nucleation of cavitation bubbles, influence of the statistical structure of turbulence on this process and the inverse effect of cavitation on the flow dynamics are challenging problems in modern fluid mechanics. The paper reports on the results of statistical processing of the velocity fields measured by a PIV technique in cavitating flow over a 2D symmetric hydrofoil for four flow conditions, starting from a cavitation-free regime and finishing by unsteady cloud cavitation. We analyze basic information on the statistical structure of velocity fluctuations in the form of histograms and Q-Q diagrams along with profiles of the mean velocity and turbulent kinetic energy. The research reveals that the flow turbulence pattern and distributions of turbulent fluctuations change significantly with the cavitation development. Under unsteady cloud cavitation conditions, the probability density function of the fluctuating velocity has a two-mode distribution, which indicates switching of two alternating flow conditions in a region above the hydrofoil aft part due to periodic passing of cavitation clouds. Behaviors of the mean and most probable velocities unexpectedly appear to be different with a monotonous increase of the incoming flow velocity. This finding must be caused by modification of the skewness coefficient of the fluctuating velocity.     

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.     

The Bergman kernel for the Vekua equation

The paper extends some well-known results for analytic functions onto solutions of the Vekua equation $\partial \overline{{}_z}W=aW+b\overline{W}$ regarding the existence and construction of the Bergman kernel and of the corresponding Bergman projection operator.     

Construction of Generalized Diffusion Processes: the Resolvent Approach

In this paper, we define the generalized diffusion operator ■ for two suitable measures on the line, which includes the generators of the birth-death processes, the one-dimensional diffusion and the gap diffusion among others. Via the standard resolvent approach, the associated generalized diffusion processes are constructed.
