γ-variable first-order logic of uniform attachment random graphs

We study logical limit laws for uniform attachment random graphs. In this random graph model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $n+1$, the vertex $n+1$ is introduced together with m edges joining the new vertex with m different vertices chosen uniformly at random from $1,\dots ,n$. We prove that this random graph obeys convergence law for first-order sentences with at most $m?2$ variables.     

安培环路定理的拓扑学描述

近年来拓扑学在量子力学中得到了广泛的运用.本文将安培环路定理积分式重新表达为一矢量场在轮胎参数面上的第一类陈数积分.数值模拟展示了该积分值为一整数即第一陈数,其代表矢量场的整体性质:当经历连续变换时,矢量场的局部数值发生改变但整体积分值即陈数仍保持不变;若陈数发生改变,则表明矢量场变换的连续性条件发生破坏,矢量场出现奇点.进一步通过高斯映射将该矢量场从参数轮胎面映射到单位球面上,并给出了第一陈数的直观几何意义.理论和数值结果揭示了安培环路定理的拓扑学本质,表明拓扑概念在经典物理学中也会有广泛应用.     

Sliding mode control for a diffuse interface tumor growth model coupling a Cahn–Hilliard equation with a reaction–diffusion equation

We consider the sliding mode control (SMC) problem for a diffuse interface tumor growth model coupling a Cahn–Hilliard equation with a reaction–diffusion equation perturbed by a maximal monotone nonlinearity. We prove existence and regularity of strong solutions and, under further assumptions, a uniqueness result. Then, we show that the chosen SMC law forces the system to reach within finite time a sliding manifold that we chose in order that the tumor phase remains constant in time.     

Linearized filtering of affine processes using stochastic Riccati equations

We consider an affine process $X$ which is only observed up to an additive white noise, and we ask for the law of $X_t$, for some $t>0$, conditional on all observations up to time $t$. This is a general, possibly high dimensional filtering problem which is not even locally approximately Gaussian, whence essentially only particle filtering methods remain as solution techniques. In this work we present an efficient numerical solution by introducing an approximate filter for which conditional characteristic functions can be calculated by solving a system of generalized Riccati differential equations depending on the observation and the process characteristics of $X$. The quality of the approximation can be controlled by easily observable quantities in terms of a macro location of the signal in state space. Asymptotic techniques as well as maximization techniques can be directly applied to the solutions of the Riccati equations leading to novel very tractable filtering formulas. The efficiency of the method is illustrated with numerical experiments for Cox–Ingersoll–Ross and Wishart processes, for which Gaussian approximations usually fail.     

Gauge functions and Galilean invariance of Lagrangians

A novel method to make Lagrangians Galilean invariant is developed. The method, based on null Lagrangians and their gauge functions, is used to demonstrate the Galilean invariance of the Lagrangian for Newton's law of inertia. It is suggested that this new solution of an old physics problem may have implications and potential applications to all gauge-based theories of physics.

Analysis of a Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman model for tumour growth with chemotaxis

Phase field models recently gained a lot of interest in the context of tumour growth models. Typically Darcy-type flow models are coupled to Cahn–Hilliard equations. However, often Stokes or Brinkman flows are more appropriate flow models. We introduce and mathematically analyse a new Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman model for tumour growth allowing for chemotaxis. Outflow boundary conditions are considered in order not to influence tumour growth by artificial boundary conditions. Existence of global-in-time weak solutions is shown in a very general setting.     

Strongly localized states in a single carbon nanotube with polymer molecules

A single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) with conjugated polymer molecules is analyzed via optical spectroscopy. The presence of strongly localized excitonic states in the SWCNT is confirmed using time-integrated photoluminescence (PL). The PL spectrum exhibits extremely narrow width (~0.8 meV) which is attributed to the strong confinement of the states by polymer molecules. In addition, I observed that the excited states are gradually filled as a function of the excitation power, which supports the localized excitonic behavior. Only the ground excitonic state is observed at low excitation powers, but three additional PL peaks appear as the excitation power is increased. Especially, the power-dependent PL spectrum shows a blueshift and increased width, which can be elucidated in terms of quantum confined stark effect and the screening of induced electric fields. Overall, I demonstrate that the presence of polymer molecules induces several localized states in a single SWCNT.     

Power extraction efficiency improvement of a fully-activated flapping foil: With the help of an auxiliary rotating foil

The power extraction efficiency improvement of a fully-activated flapping foil with the help of an auxiliary rotating foil is numerically examined in this work. A NACA0015 airfoil is placed in a two-dimensional laminar flow and synchronously performs the imposed pitching and plunging motions. An auxiliary smaller foil, which rotates about its center, is arranged below the flapping foil. As a consequence, the vortex interaction between the flapping foil and the rotating foil occurs. At a Reynolds number of 1100 and the position of the pitching axis at one-third chord, the effects of the distance between the flapping foil and the auxiliary foil, the phase difference between the rotating motion and the flapping motion as well as the frequency of flapping motion on the power extraction performance are systematically investigated. It is found that compared to the single flapping foil, the efficiency of power extraction for the flapping foil with an auxiliary device can be improved. Based on the numerical analysis, it is indicated that the enhanced plunging contribution, which is caused by the increased lift force owing to the vortex interaction, directly helps the efficiency improvement.
