A linear system solver based on a modified Krylov subspace method for breakdown recovery

Despite its usefulness in solving eigenvalue problems and linear systems of equations, the nonsymmetric Lanczos method is known to suffer from a potential breakdown problem. Previous and recent approaches for handling the Lanczos exact and near-breakdowns include, for example, the look-ahead schemes by Parlett-Taylor-Liu [23], Freund-Gutknecht-Nachtigal [9], and Brezinski-Redivo Zaglia-Sadok [4]; the combined look-ahead and restart scheme by Joubert [18]; and the low-rank modified Lanczos scheme by Huckle [17]. In this paper, we present yet another scheme based on a modified Krylov subspace approach for the solution of nonsymmetric linear systems. When a breakdown occurs, our approach seeks a modified dual Krylov subspace, which is the sum of the original subspace and a new Krylov subspaceK _m (w _j ,A ^T ) wherew _j is a newstart vector (this approach has been studied by Ye [26] for eigenvalue computations). Based on this strategy, we have developed a practical algorithm for linear systems called the MLAN/QM algorithm, which also incorporates the residual quasi-minimization as proposed in [12]. We present a few convergence bounds for the method as well as numerical results to show its effectiveness.Research supported by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Interior-point methods for nonlinear complementarity problems

We present a potential reduction interior-point algorithm for monotone nonlinear complementarity problems. At each iteration, one has to compute an approximate solution of a nonlinear system such that a certain accuracy requirement is satisfied. For problems satisfying a scaled Lipschitz condition, this requirement is satisfied by the approximate solution obtained by applying one Newton step to that nonlinear system. We discuss the global and local convergence rates of the algorithm, convergence toward a maximal complementarity solution, a criterion for switching from the interior-point algorithm to a pure Newton method, and the complexity of the resulting hybrid algorithm.This research was supported in part by NSF Grant DDM-89-22636.The authors would like to thank Rongqin Sheng and three anonymous referees for their comments leading to a better presentation of the results.     

The Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem Plus Countable Choice Do Not Imply Dependent Choice

Two Fraenkel-Mostowski models are constructed in which the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem is true. In both models, AC for countable sets is true, but AC for sets of cardinality 2 and the 2m = m principle are both false. The Principle of Dependent Choices is true in the first model, but false in the second. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E25, 03E35, 04A25.     

Optimization‐free superoscillatory lens using phase and amplitude masks

A superoscillatory focusing lens has been experimentally demonstrated by optimizing Fresnel zone plates (FZP), with limited physical insight as to how the lens feature contributes to the focal formation. It is therefore imperative to establish a generalized viable account for both FZP (amplitude mask) and binary optics (phase mask). Arbitrary superoscillatory spots can now be customized and realized by a realistic optical device, without using optimization. It is counterintuitively found that high spatial frequency with small amplitude and destructive interference are favorable in superfocusing of a superoscillation pattern. The inevitably high sidelobe is pushed 15λ away from the central subwavelength spot, resulting in significantly enlarged field of view for viable imaging applications. This work therefore not only reveals the explicit physical role of any given metallic/dielectric rings but also provides an alternative design roadmap of superresolution imaging. The robust method is readily applicable in superthin longitudinally polarized needle light, quantum physics and information theory.

RESEARCH ON VIBRATION MODES OF THE CHINESE CHIME STONE

Nearfield acoustical holography is a powerful tool for imaging of acoustic sources. In this article, the basic theory treating steady-state acoustic radiation with generalized holography has been discussed. By holographic imaging, the vibration characteristics of irregular objects, the Chinese ancient musical instrument, the one-tone chime stone and the two-tone chime stone provided by the Institute of Archaeology, the Museum of Hubei Province, have been researched. The results show that the ancient chime stone has two main vibration modes, which make up the base of sound produced by the instrument. As for the two-tone chime stone, it is not so long and wide as the single-tone chime stone, but thicker and smoother than the single-tone chime stone. When it is excited at different positions, although it radiates sounds of different frequencies, its vibration modes are similar. This may be related to its dimensions and shape. The research is helpful for studying the sound producing system and the radiated field characteristics of the chime stone.
