Synchronization analysis for nonlinearly-coupled complex networks with an asymmetrical coupling matrix

In this paper, the global synchronization for an array of nonlinearly coupled identical chaotic systems is investigated. A distinctive feature of this work is to address synchronization issues for nonlinearly coupled complex networks with an asymmetrical coupling matrix. By projecting the nonlinear coupling function onto a linear one and assuming the difference between them as a disturbing function, we give some criteria for the global synchronization in virtual of the left eigenvector corresponding to the zero eigenvalue of the coupling matrix. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory.

Influences of overtaking on two-lane traffic with signals

Based on the cellular automata method (CA method), two-lane traffic flow with the consideration of overtaking is investigated. Discrete equations are proposed to describe the traffic dynamics by using the rules of CA model. Influences of signal cycle time (t_s) and vehicular density (ρ) on the mean velocity 〈v〉 and mean overtaking times 〈c〉 of the traffic flow are discussed. The effects of slow vehicles and road barricades on the traffic flow are also studied. Simulation results shows that the vehicular density and the signal cycle time have significant influences on the traffic flow. The mean velocity of the traffic flow could keep a comparatively large value when ρ≤0.45. For a certain value of ρ, 〈v〉 displays a serrated fluctuation with t_s. Therefore, there may exist a certain combination of ρ and t_s which optimizes the traffic flow efficiency. As compared with the results in Nagatani (2009) [7], the model proposed here and the simulation results which took into account the effects of signal cycle time, slow vehicles, and road barricades on the traffic flow with overtaking allowed, can reflect the situation of traffic flow in a more realistic way.     

Size-controlled synthesis of orderly organized cube-shaped lead sulfide nanocrystals via a solvothermal single-source precursor method

Monodisperse cube-shaped lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals were successfully synthesized by virtue of a solvothermal single-source precursor method at mild reaction conditions. These resulted PbS nanocrystals have the average size in a range of 10 nm and a uniform cubic shape, shown by TEM and HRTEM, respectively. Due to their narrow size distribution, orderly self-organized arrays on a large scale can be easily obtained. Experimental results indicate that several factors, such as coordinating ability of the solvent, carbon number of the substitute alkyls (n), reaction temperature, and concentration of the precursor, play key roles in the final size and size distribution of PbS nanocrystals. This finding will enhance our understanding for the formation mechanism of nanostructured materials with special shapes.

Modeling of pedestrian evacuation under fire emergency based on an extended heterogeneous lattice gas model

An extended heterogeneous lattice gas (E-HLG) model is developed by introducing an altitude factor into the heterogeneous lattice gas (HLG) model. The altitude factor is used to describe the position height of lattice sites. Evacuation features from a terrace classroom are investigated through simulations using both the model and experiments. To study evacuation processes under fire emergency, an agent-based fire and pedestrian interaction (FPI) model is proposed. It is supposed that the possible moving directions of a pedestrian depend on the environmental temperature field, which is simulated by the software FDS. The walking speed reduction due to the visibility worsening in the FPI model is described by a multi-grid method. It is found that simulation results based on the extended HLG model are in good agreement with the experiments. The altitude factor plays a guidance role to the evacuation, and the fire notably delays the evacuation due to both the harmfulness of the high temperature field and the change of evacuation routes which results in frequent local jamming and clogging.     

Average distribution of k-free numbers in arithmetic progressions

We obtain a new bound on the average value of the error term in the asymptotic formula for the number of k-free numbers in arithmetic progressions. In particular, we improve the results of J. Gibson (2014) and C. Hooley (1975).
