On the geometry of infinite cyclic subgroups

In this paper we construct an example of a word metric on an infinite cyclic subgroup. This example shows that subexponential distortion does not obstruct non-trivial growth of connected radii. This answers a question of Gromov [6]. The constructed metric has other pathological properies. Specifically, its asymptotic cone depends on the choice of ultrafilter and scaling sequence. The work has been partially supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.     

IFS attractors and Cantor sets

We build a metric space which is homeomorphic to a Cantor set but cannot be realized as the attractor of an iterated function system. We give also an example of a Cantor set K in R³ such that every homeomorphism f of R³ which preserves K coincides with the identity on K.     

The study and applications of photochemical-dynamical gravity wave model I

A two-dimensional, nonlinear, compressible, diabatic, nonhydrostatic photochemical-dynamical gravity wave model has been advanced. The model includes diabetic process produced by photochemistry and the effect of gravity wave on atmospheric chemical species. In the horizontal direction, the pseudospectral method is used. The finite difference approximations are used in vertical direction z and time t. The FICE method is used to solve the model. The model results on small amplitude fluctuation are very close to those of linear theory, which demonstrates the correctness of the model.

     

Formation of hydrogenated amorphous carbon films from polymer pyrolysis

Free-standing and supported hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a:C–H) were prepared upon pyrolysis of the polymer formed by ethanolamine (EA) and citric acid (CA), under an ambient atmosphere at 300 °C. EA facilitates the formation of the macroscopic films, while CA is essential for obtaining the a:C–H microstructure, which comprises a mixture of sp² and sp³ carbon.

科学和艺术

科学与完美是不是一致的？科学家们是否有权使用完美这个词？至少，对于物理学家和数学家来说答案是肯定的“是”．2002年，温伯格（Steven Weinberg）写道：“近代物理学的一些重要方程式是科学知识的永久部分，甚至比它们较早出现的美丽大教堂还要经久不衰．”1960年代，狄拉克（Paul A．M．Dirac）有句名言：“完整的方程式之完美较之它们适合实验结果更为重要．”1965年诺贝尔物理学奖获得者费因曼（Richard P．Feynman）也坚信他提出的一项理论，即使该理论显得与实验数据有矛盾．1957年，他写道：“理论是优雅和完美的，重大事件是短暂的闪光．”     

The instability degree in the diemnsion of spaces of bivariate spline

In this paper, the dimension of the spaces of bivariate spline with degree less that 2r and smoothness order r on the Morgan-Scott triangulation is considered. The concept of the instability degree in the dimension of spaces of bivariate spline is presented. The results in the paper make us conjecture the instability degree in the dimension of spaces of bivariate spline is infinity.

曲面平滑的自适应几何扩散

1.引 言 本文的目的是用求解偏微分方程（PDE）的方法来消除离散三角形曲面的噪声,所使用的方程是热传导方程到曲面的推广.热传导方程应用于图像处理已有二十余年的历史,有关参考文献相当丰富（见[1,11,12,19]）.众所周知,对于给定的初始图像ρ0,热传导方程　　在τ时刻的解与用Gauss滤波器Gσ（x）=　（当标准差σ=2τ,时）和ρ0作卷积的结果相同.容易看出Gρ和ρ0的卷积运算相当于对ρ0做加权平均,当标准离差σ变大时,该加权平均在一个较大的范围实现,这解释了热传导方程的滤波作用.近来热传导方程已推广到空间曲面[4,5]以及高维空间中的二维流形（见[3]）,对     

Integral Inequalities and Global Solutions of Semilinear Evolution Equations

A criterion for the nonexplosion of solutions to semilinear evolution equations on Banach spaces is proved. The result is obtained by applying a modification of the Bihari type inequality to the case of a weakly singular nonlinear integral inequality.
