Superlinear Convergence of a Newton-Type Algorithm for Monotone Equations

We consider the problem of finding solutions of systems of monotone equations. The Newton-type algorithm proposed in Ref. 1 has a very nice global convergence property in that the whole sequence of iterates generated by this algorithm converges to a solution, if it exists. Superlinear convergence of this algorithm is obtained under a standard nonsingularity assumption. The nonsingularity condition implies that the problem has a unique solution; thus, for a problem with more than one solution, such a nonsingularity condition cannot hold. In this paper, we show that the superlinear convergence of this algorithm still holds under a local error-bound assumption that is weaker than the standard nonsingularity condition. The local error-bound condition may hold even for problems with nonunique solutions. As an application, we obtain a Newton algorithm with very nice global and superlinear convergence for the minimum norm solution of linear programs.This research was supported by the Singapore-MIT Alliance and the Australian Research Council.     

The measurement of slope using shearography

This paper presents an optical method which is based on speckle-shearing interferometry for the measurement of the slope at any point of an object. The object under study is illuminated by an expanded laser beam and its image is recorded on a photographic plate placed at the image plane of an image-shearing camera. A second exposure on the photographic film is made after the light source is moved slightly. The resulting photograph yields a fringe pattern which represents lines of constant displacement gradients. Theory of the method as well as some experimental results are presented.

CO2 laser induced reactions of trichloroethylene

The pressure and laser-power dependence of the product distributions in the TEA CO₂ laser induced decomposition of trichloroethylene were studied. At moderate pressures molecular elimination of HCl to give CClCCl via intermolecular energy transfer was found to be the major reaction path. At low pressures a pure laser-induced CCl bond fission to give CHCCl was found to be the primary, reaction step.     

Dependence of viscosity of polystyrene solutions on molecular weight and concentration

Viscosities of solutions of polystyrene in toluene were measured for concentrations up to 400 kg m^?3 at 298 K. Polymers of molecular weights ranging from 8.7 × 10³ to 2.4 × 10⁶ were used. It is observed that viscosity of the polymer solution increases with increasing concentration and molecular weight; the rate of increase is greater at higher values of the two parameters. A master curve for the system is constructed by using the experimental data for viscosity, concentration and molecular weight of the polymer. Regions of various polymer interactions in solution are identified.     

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 1-propynoylpyrazoles: a new precursor of tricarbon monoxide

Pyrolysis of 3,5-dimethyl-1-propynoylpyrazole (1) at 640°C/0.1 torr gives 2-methyl-1$\text{H}$-pyrazolo[2,3-a]pyridin-5-one (3) with inversion of the propynoyl chain. 1-Ethynylpyrazole and tricarbon monoxide have been identified in pyrolysates formed at 700–1000°C/0.01–0.1 torr from the parent 1-propynoylpyrazole (4).     

A construction of chromatic index critical graphs

We prove that if K is an undirected, simple, connected graph of even order which is of class one, regular of degree p ≥ 2 and such that the subgraph induced by any three vertices is either connected or null, then any graph G obtained from K by splitting any vertex is p-critical. We find that various constructions of critical graphs by S. Fiorini are special cases of a corollary of this result.     

Graphene field-effect transistors with ferroelectric gating

Recent experiments on ferroelectric gating have introduced a novel functionality, i.e., nonvolatility, in graphene field-effect transistors. A comprehensive understanding in the nonlinear, hysteretic ferroelectric gating and an effective way to control it are still absent. In this Letter, we quantitatively characterize the hysteretic ferroelectric gating using the reference of an independent background doping (n(BG)) provided by normal dielectric gating. More importantly, we prove that n(BG) can be used to control the ferroelectric gating by unidirectionally shifting the hysteretic ferroelectric doping in graphene. Utilizing this electrostatic effect, we demonstrate symmetrical bit writing in graphene-ferroelectric field-effect transistors with resistance change over 500% and reproducible no-volatile switching over 10? cycles.     

Equivalences and differences in conic relaxations of combinatorial quadratic optimization problems

Various conic relaxations of quadratic optimization problems in nonnegative variables for combinatorial optimization problems, such as the binary integer quadratic problem, quadratic assignment problem (QAP), and maximum stable set problem have been proposed over the years. The binary and complementarity conditions of the combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed in several ways, each of which results in different conic relaxations. For the completely positive, doubly nonnegative and semidefinite relaxations of the combinatorial optimization problems, we discuss the equivalences and differences among the relaxations by investigating the feasible regions obtained from different representations of the combinatorial condition which we propose as a generalization of the binary and complementarity condition. We also study theoretically the issue of the primal and dual nondegeneracy, the existence of an interior solution and the size of the relaxations, as a result of different representations of the combinatorial condition. These characteristics of the conic relaxations affect the numerical efficiency and stability of the solver used to solve them. We illustrate the theoretical results with numerical experiments on QAP instances solved by SDPT3, SDPNAL+ and the bisection and projection method.
