Optimal tristance anticodes in certain graphs

For z₁,z₂,z₃∈Zⁿ, the tristance d₃(z₁,z₂,z₃) is a generalization of the L₁-distance on Zⁿ to a quantity that reflects the relative dispersion of three points rather than two. A tristance anticodeA_d of diameter d is a subset of Zⁿ with the property that d₃(z₁,z₂,z₃)?d for all z₁,z₂,z₃∈A_d. An anticode is optimal if it has the largest possible cardinality for its diameter d. We determine the cardinality and completely classify the optimal tristance anticodes in Z² for all diameters d?1. We then generalize this result to two related distance models: a different distance structure on Z² where d(z₁,z₂)=1 if z₁,z₂ are adjacent either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and the distance structure obtained when Z² is replaced by the hexagonal lattice A₂. We also investigate optimal tristance anticodes in Z³ and optimal quadristance anticodes in Z², and provide bounds on their cardinality. We conclude with a brief discussion of the applications of our results to multi-dimensional interleaving schemes and to connectivity loci in the game of Go.     

Angle theorems for the Lagrangian mean curvature flow

We prove that symplectic maps between Riemann surfaces L, M of constant, nonpositive and equal curvature converge to minimal symplectic maps, if the Lagrangian angle for the corresponding Lagrangian submanifold in the cross product space satisfies . If one considers a 4-dimensional K?hler-Einstein manifold of nonpositive scalar curvature that admits two complex structures J, K which commute and assumes that is a compact oriented Lagrangian submanifold w.r.t. J such that the K?hler form w.r.t.K restricted to L is positive and , then L converges under the mean curvature flow to a minimal Lagrangian submanifold which is calibrated w.r.t. .

超强脉冲激光在低密度等离子体中的相对论自导引效应

分析了相对论条件下激光超短脉冲在等离子体中的传输特性 ,在傍轴近似和慢变振幅近似条件下 ,推导了折射率、电子密度、静电场以及电子空腔尺度的表达式。当激光功率超过产生自导引阈值功率时 ,激光束斑沿着传输光轴方向振荡。在有质动力产生的压力非常强时 ,聚焦光束中央部分的电子被全部排开形成电子空腔。给出了电子空腔的尺寸以及在出现电子空腔时的处理方法。在超过形成电子空腔的阈值功率 (Pc≈ 2 .5TW )时 ,空腔的尺度几乎与激光功率无关 ,这意味着电子空腔阻止了激光脉冲的进一步聚焦。     

P schl-Teller势阱中线性与非线性光学折射率变化

利用量子力学中的密度矩阵算符理论导出了P schl-Teller势阱中的线性与三阶非线性光学折射率的解析表达式。P schl-Teller势阱中有两个可调参数κ和λ,势阱的形状及其非对称性会随势阱参数的取值不同而明显不同,从而其线性与非线性光学折射率变化的大小也会随势阱参数和入射光强的变化而呈规律性的变化。文章以典型的GaAs/AlGaAs势阱为例作了数值计算,数值计算结果表明,势阱的形状和入射光强对光学折射率有着重要的影响。     

Global stability of the Armstrong-Frederick model with periodic biaxial inputs

The paper is concerned with the study of plasticity models described by differential equations with stop and play operators. We suggest sufficient conditions for the global stability of a unique periodic solution for the scalar models and for the vector models with biaxial inputs of a particular form, namely the sum of a uniaxial function and a constant term. For another class of simple biaxial inputs, we present an example of the existence of unstable periodic solutions. The paper was written during the research stay of D. Rachinskii at the Technical University Munich supported by the research fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

On the realization of Riemannian symmetric spaces in Lie groups

In this paper we give a realization of some symmetric space G/K as a closed submanifold P of G. We also give several equivalent representations of the submanifold P. Some properties of the set gK∩P are also discussed, where gK is a coset space in G.     

Conditional independence models for seemingly unrelated regressions with incomplete data

We consider normal ≡ Gaussian seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) with incomplete data (ID). Imposing a natural minimal set of conditional independence constraints, we find a restricted SUR/ID model whose likelihood function and parameter space factor into the product of the likelihood functions and the parameter spaces of standard complete data multivariate analysis of variance models. Hence, the restricted model has a unimodal likelihood and permits explicit likelihood inference. In the development of our methodology, we review and extend existing results for complete data SUR models and the multivariate ID problem.     

New examples of Osserman metrics with nondiagonalizable Jacobi operators

Explicit examples of Osserman 4-manifolds with exactly two distinct eigenvalues of the Jacobi operators, α and β=4α≠0, are given. The former has multiplicity two and is a double root of the minimal polynomial of the Jacobi operators.     

Inclusion of carbon nanotubes in a TiO2 sol-gel matrix

We report here the successful inclusion of carbon nanotubes (CNs) into a TiO₂ matrix prepared by a sol-gel method. The presence of CNs in the sol-gel matrix and the structure of the film were analyzed principally by transmission electron microscopy. Complementary information about the behavior of embedded carbon nanotubes versus heat treatment and ion irradiation were obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The elaboration of an inorganic matrix containing embedded carbon nanotubes leads to a new nanocomposite. The possible applications of this nanocomposite are discussed.
