Quantitative universality for a class of nonlinear transformations

A large class of recursion relationsx _{n + 1} = f(x_n) exhibiting infinite bifurcation is shown to possess a rich quantitative structure essentially independent of the recursion function. The functions considered all have a unique differentiable maximum . With sufficiently small),z > 1, the universal details depend only uponz. In particular, the local structure of high-order stability sets is shown to approach universality, rescaling in successive bifurcations, asymptotically by the ratio ( = 2.5029078750957... forz = 2). This structure is determined by a universal functiong ^*(x), where the 2ⁿth iterate off,f ⁽ⁿ⁾, converges locally to ^–n g ^*( ⁿ x) for largen. For the class off's considered, there exists a _n such that a 2ⁿ-point stable limit cycle including exists; – _n R~ ^–n ( = 4.669201609103... forz = 2). The numbers and have been computationally determined for a range ofz through their definitions, for a variety off's for eachz. We present a recursive mechanism that explains these results by determiningg ^* as the fixed-point (function) of a transformation on the class off's. At present our treatment is heuristic. In a sequel, an exact theory is formulated and specific problems of rigor isolated.Research performed under the auspices of the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration.

Economic small-world behavior in weighted networks

The small-world phenomenon has been already the subject of a huge variety of papers, showing its appeareance in a variety of systems. However, some big holes still remain to be filled, as the commonly adopted mathematical formulation is valid only for topological networks. In this paper we propose a generalization of the theory of small worlds based on two leading concepts, efficiency and cost, and valid also for weighted networks. Efficiency measures how well information propagates over the network, and cost measures how expensive it is to build a network. The combination of these factors leads us to introduce the concept of economic small worlds, that formalizes the idea of networks that are “cheap” to build, and nevertheless efficient in propagating information, both at global and local scale. In this way we provide an adequate tool to quantitatively analyze the behaviour of complex networks in the real world. Various complex systems are studied, ranging from the realm of neural networks, to social sciences, to communication and transportation networks. In each case, economic small worlds are found. Moreover, using the economic small-world framework, the construction principles of these networks can be quantitatively analyzed and compared, giving good insights on how efficiency and economy principles combine up to shape all these systems.

Epidemic outbreaks in complex heterogeneous networks

We present a detailed analytical and numerical study for the spreading of infections with acquired immunity in complex population networks. We show that the large connectivity fluctuations usually found in these networks strengthen considerably the incidence of epidemic outbreaks. Scale-free networks, which are characterized by diverging connectivity fluctuations in the limit of a very large number of nodes, exhibit the lack of an epidemic threshold and always show a finite fraction of infected individuals. This particular weakness, observed also in models without immunity, defines a new epidemiological framework characterized by a highly heterogeneous response of the system to the introduction of infected individuals with different connectivity. The understanding of epidemics in complex networks might deliver new insights in the spread of information and diseases in biological and technological networks that often appear to be characterized by complex heterogeneous architectures.

尾流中气泡对光传播的影响

从几何光学的角度出发，针对气泡直径与光束直径之间的大小关系，分两种情况，推得了单个气泡的散射光强变化情况，以及气泡速度与散射光强之间的关系．得出散射光强的变化频率与气泡半径和速度存在一定的关系，光束的直径与气泡直径的大小关系决定光强变化的强弱．在此理论基础上，模拟了光强的变化，并与实验所得曲线相比较，验证了实际与理论的相符性．同时用短曝光、连续拍摄的数码相机对气泡进行拍摄，进一步验证了理论推导的正确性．

线阵CCD用于实时动态测量技术研究

本文研究的是在连续光条件下线阵ＣＣＤ实时动态测量技术，除了考虑ＣＣＤ像元响应非均匀性、非线性等影响因素外，还应认真考虑采样频率、测量精度、动态范围、快速电路等问题。本文还详细讨论了测量精度和动态范围问题，推导了测量精度公式与动态范围公式。为了减小测量误差和提高被测信号的频率，必须相应减小积分时间。精度公式是进行线阵ＣＣＤ电路设计的基本依据公式。动态范围与频率无关，只与结构参数有关，为了充分利用ＣＣＤ的动态范围，激光功率要可调。
