Some properties for the largest component of random geometric graphs with applications in sensor networks

In this paper we consider the standard Poisson Boolean model of random geometric graphs G（Hλ,s; 1） in Rd and study the properties of the order of the largest component L1 （G（Hλ,s; 1）） . We prove that ElL1 （G（Hλ,s; 1））] is smooth with respect to A, and is derivable with respect to s. Also, we give the expression of these derivatives. These studies provide some new methods for the theory of the largest component of finite random geometric graphs （not asymptotic graphs as s - co） in the high dimensional space （d 〉 2）. Moreover, we investigate the convergence rate of E[L1（G（Hλ,s; 1））]. These results have significance for theory development of random geometric graphs and its practical application. Using our theories, we construct and solve a new optimal energy-efficient topology control model of wireless sensor networks, which has the significance of theoretical foundation and guidance for the design of network layout.     

Positive solutions for one-dimensional -Laplacian boundary value problems with sign changing nonlinearity

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian

subject to the boundary value conditions:

where _p(s)=|s|^p−2s,p>1. We show that it has at least one or two positive solutions under some assumptions by applying the fixed point theorem. The interesting points are that the nonlinear term f is involved with the first-order derivative explicitly and f may change sign.     

Some fixed point theorems and existence of positive solutions of two-point boundary-value problems

Three theorems are obtained for the existence of at least one or three fixed points for a completely continuous mapping, which extend the Krasnoselskii’s compression–expansion theorem in cones. Based on them two theorems for the existence of positive solutions of two-point boundary-value problems are proved under a quite relaxed condition compared with the existing literature.     

Successive iteration and positive symmetric solution for a Sturm–Liouville-like four-point boundary value problem with a -Laplacian operator

In this paper, we consider the following Sturm–Liouville-like four-point p-Laplacian boundary value problem with the nonlinear term f depending on the first-order derivative subject to the boundary conditions By using a monotone iterative technique, the existence of symmetric positive solutions and corresponding iterative schemes are obtained.     

A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of positive solutions to a kind of singular three-point boundary value problem

In this paper, we are concerned with the following three point boundary value problem

     

Ricci flow on surfaces with cusps

We consider the normalized Ricci flow ? _t g = (ρ ? R)g with initial condition a complete metric g ₀ on an open surface M where M is conformal to a punctured compact Riemann surface and g ₀ has ends which are asymptotic to hyperbolic cusps. We prove that when χ(M) < 0 and ρ < 0, the flow g(t) converges exponentially to the unique complete metric of constant Gauss curvature ρ/2 in the conformal class.     

Existence result of second-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions at resonance

By using Mawhin's continuation theorem, some sufficient conditions for the existence of solution for a class of second-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions at resonance are established, which are complement of previously known results. The interesting point is that we shall deal with the case dimKerL=2, which will cause some difficulties in constructing the projector Q. Since all the existence results obtained in previous papers are for the case dimKerL=1, our work is new.     

Symplectic synchronization of different chaotic systems

In this paper, a new symplectic synchronization of chaotic systems is studied. Traditional generalized synchronizations are special cases of the symplectic synchronization. A sufficient condition is given for the asymptotical stability of the null solution of an error dynamics. The symplectic synchronization may be applied to the design of secure communication. Finally, numerical results are studied for a Quantum-CNN oscillators synchronized with a Rössler system in three different cases.
