关于二部图Km1m2-Hm2的升分解

在文献[2]中作者定义了图的一种新分解-升分解(Ascending subgraph Decomposition简记为ASD)，并提出了一个猜想：任意有正数条边的图都可以升分解．本文主要证明了二部图Km1m2-Hm2(m1≥m2)可以升分解，其中Hm2是至多含m2条边的Km1m2的子图．     

高维空间中一类Ginzburg-Landau型泛函的极小元的渐近分析

在空间H1,pg(Ω,Rn)中讨论如下一类变系数Ginzburg-Landau型泛函Eε(Ω)=∫Ωa(x)p|Δu|p+14εpb(x)(|u|2-β2(x))2dx的极小元列的渐近性质.这里2≤p0,m≤a(x),b(x),β(x)≤M,且a(x),b(x),β(x)是光滑函数.研究了当ε→0时极小元的渐近性态,证明了极小元列在H1,pg(Ω,Rn)中强收敛于某个元素,且得到了该元素所满足的微分方程边值问题.

The Organization of Interaction Between Oil Refineries

The paper deals with the appropriate form of interaction between two refineries with different demand patterns. This problem can be formulated as finding a decentralized solution of linear programming problems linked by buying and selling activities. The complete problem is first solved for central values of product demands and costs and revenues. The structure of the basis then determines the organization of the interaction in terms of which unit sets quantities and which prices, or whether centralized decisions should be made. If, for expected values of product demand and costs, the structure of the basis is the same then the related organization of trading can be used for day-to-day transactions. For a well-known oil refinery model it is found that, for fairly large demand variations, decentralized interaction is effective, but that the structure of the basis changes easily with crude price variations, and that simulations did not converge for these variations.     

A Fair Allocation of County Cricket Opponents

Each team in the English County Cricket Championship plays against some other teams twice a year, and others only once. This paper describes a case study whose aim was to overcome this inherent unfairness by producing a four-year schedule of opponents which was as fair as possible, and could be easily seen to be fair, while still allowing for traditional rivalries. The schedule also needed to be satisfactory in regard to several other constraints and objectives. Various simple heuristics were used; these are described in some detail. Of particular interest is the effectiveness of a ‘local non-worsening’ approach when the objective is to find any feasible solution. This is equivalent to simulated annealing at a constant temperature of absolute zero.     

The Use of Soft Systems Methodology in Practice

This paper reports the results of a survey intended to discover the extent to which Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is used in practice. Some 300 questionnaires were sent to people who had had some exposure to SSM and, surprisingly, nearly half were returned. The majority described in detail their uses of SSM and most felt that it had been successful. This paper describes the overall quantitative results from the survey as well as presenting a qualitative analysis of the experiences of using SSM.     

On perturbations of matrix pencils with real spectra, a revisit

This paper continues earlier studies by Bhatia and Li on eigenvalue perturbation theory for diagonalizable matrix pencils having real spectra. A unifying framework for creating crucial perturbation equations is developed. With the help of a recent result on generalized commutators involving unitary matrices, new and much sharper bounds are obtained.

     

BV estimates of Lax-Friedrichs' scheme for a class of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws

We give uniform BV estimates and -stability of Lax-Friedrichs' scheme for a class of systems of strictly hyperbolic conservation laws whose integral curves of the eigenvector fields are straight lines, i.e., Temple class, under the assumption of small total variation. This implies that the approximate solutions generated via the Lax-Friedrichs' scheme converge to the solution given by the method of vanishing viscosity or the Godunov scheme, and then the Glimm scheme or the wave front tracking method.

     

Differentiable conjugacy of the Poincaré type vector fields on

We prove that on , except for those germs of vector fields whose linear parts are conjugated to , any two Poincaré type vector fields are at least conjugated to each other provided their linear approximations have the same eigenvalues and the nonlinear parts are generic.
