On formulas of Ramanujan and Evans

We give short elementary proofs of a formula of Ramanujan as interpreted by Bradley, and a companion formula originally proved by W. Chu. We also give an elementary proof of a generalization of an identity originally proved using modular functions and used to study a generating function for the number of partitions with specified crank.

A Sharp Upper Bound for the Number of Spanning Trees of a Graph

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph with n vertices, e edges and d₁ be the highest degree. Further let λ_i, i = 1,2,...,n be the non-increasing eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of the graph G. In this paper, we obtain the following result: For connected graph G, λ₂ = λ₃ = ... =  λ_n-1 if and only if G is a complete graph or a star graph or a (d₁,d₁) complete bipartite graph. Also we establish the following upper bound for the number of spanning trees of G on n, e and d₁ only:

Measurements of diffuse backscattering Mueller matrices of turbid media

We report on the development of a method that records spatially dependent intensity patterns of polarized light that arise from illuminating a turbid media with a polarized laser beam and being diffusely backscattered. Our technique employs polarized light from a He-Ne laser () which is focused onto the surface of the scattering medium. A surface area of approximately 2×2 cm centered on the light input point is imaged through polarization analysis optics onto a CCD camera. The Mueller matrix is reconstructed by 49 intensity measurements with various orientations of polarizer and analyzer. The measured Mueller matrix of polystyrene spheres was compared with the theory result of incoherent scattering of light by spheres. The experimental and theory results are in excellent agreement. It appears that the azimuthal patterns of the Mueller matrix are determined by the symmetry of the turbid media.     

On graphs with exactly one anti-adjacency eigenvalue and beyond

The anti-adjacency matrix of a graph is constructed from the distance matrix of a graph by keeping each row and each column only the largest distances. This matrix can be interpreted as the opposite of the adjacency matrix, which is instead constructed from the distance matrix of a graph by keeping in each row and each column only the distances equal to 1. The (anti-)adjacency eigenvalues of a graph are those of its (anti-)adjacency matrix. Employing a novel technique introduced by Haemers (2019) [9], we characterize all connected graphs with exactly one positive anti-adjacency eigenvalue, which is an analog of Smith's classical result that a connected graph has exactly one positive adjacency eigenvalue iff it is a complete multipartite graph. On this basis, we identify the connected graphs with all but at most two anti-adjacency eigenvalues equal to ?2 and 0. Moreover, for the anti-adjacency matrix we determine the HL-index of graphs with exactly one positive anti-adjacency eigenvalue, where the HL-index measures how large in absolute value may be the median eigenvalues of a graph. We finally propose some problems for further study.

超声全矩阵数据联合稀疏重构的多测量向量模型应用

针对单测量向量模型(Single Measurement Vector,SMV)等传统压缩感知方法处理超声全矩阵数据时,存在重构精度低和重构耗时长等问题,本文研究了多测量向量模型(Multiple Measurement Vectors,MMV)应用的可行性。针对铝合金试块中不同深度的φ2 mm横通孔,分别使用MMV模型中的多测量稀疏贝叶斯(Multiple Sparse Bayesian Learning,MSBL)算法和SMV模型中的稀疏贝叶斯(Sparse Bayesian Learning,SBL)算法进行超声全矩阵数据重构,并实施全聚焦成像。随后,引入归一化均方误差和阵列性能因子评价图像和信号的重构效果。实验结果表明,SBL算法在25%采样率时的归一化均方误差为1.9%,而MSBL算法仅需15%采样率即可达到相似效果且耗时更少。     

Finite-time stabilization of state dependent impulsive dynamical linear systems

The problem of finite-time stabilizing control design for state-dependent impulsive dynamical linear systems (SD-IDLS) is tackled in this paper. Such systems are characterized by continuous-time, linear, possibly time-varying, dynamics coupled with discrete-time, linear, possibly time-varying, dynamics. The continuous-time part determines the system evolution in any time interval between two consecutive resetting events, while the discrete-time part governs its instantaneous state jump whenever the system trajectory intersects a resetting set, i.e. a region of the state space assumed to be time-independent. By making use of a quadratic control Lyapunov function, the finite-time stabilization of SD-IDLS through a static output feedback control design is specifically discussed in this paper. A sufficient and constructive result is provided based on the conical hulls of the resetting set subregions and on some cone copositivity properties of the chosen control Lyapunov function. Such a result is based on the solution of a feasibility problem that involves a set of coupled Difference/Differential Linear Matrix Inequalities (D/DLMI), which is shown to be less conservative and more numerically amenable with respect to other results available in the literature. An example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
