Some results on fractionaln-factor-critical graphs

A simple graphG is said to be fractionaln-factor-critical if after deleting anyn vertices the remaining subgraph still has a fractional perfect matching. For fractionaln-factor-criticality, in this paper, one necessary and sufficient condition, and three sufficient conditions related to maximum matching, complete closure are given.     

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STOCHASTIC PROCESSES BASED ON MEASURED DATA, II: APPLICATIONS TO EXPERIMENTAL DATA

Analysis of stochastic processes governed by the Langevin equation is discussed. The analysis is based on a general method for non-parametric estimation of deterministic and random terms of the Langevin equation directly from given data. Separate estimation of the terms corresponds to the decomposition of process dynamics into deterministic and random components. Part I of the paper presented several possibilities for qualitative and quantitative analysis of process dynamics based on such decomposition. In Part II, some of these analysis possibilities are applied to experimental datasets from metal cutting and laser-beam welding.     

Solid-State Thin-Film Sensors Based on Chalcogenide Materials Obtained by Planar Technology and Pulsed Laser Deposition

Methods of silicon planar technology and pulsed laser deposition were applied to fabricate fully solid-state chemical sensors for determining ions of copper, lead, cadmium, thallium, and also sulfide and chloride ions on the basis of thin chalcogenide films as ion-sensitive membranes.     

Binary Transformations and (2 + 1)-Dimensional Integrable Systems

A class of nonlinear nonlocal mappings that generalize the classical Darboux transformation is constructed in explicit form. Using as an example the well-known Davey–Stewartson (DS) nonlinear models and the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili matrix equation (MKP), we demonstrate the efficiency of the application of these mappings in the (2 + 1)-dimensional theory of solitons. We obtain explicit solutions of nonlinear evolution equations in the form of a nonlinear superposition of linear waves.     

Aeolian Tones of a Honeycomb Lattice Cell

Aeroacoustic resonant oscillations (aeolian tones) are studied for flow past two plates forming a cross in a square cross section channel. Possible oscillation modes are classified on the basis of admissible symmetry groups and the existence of the modes is proved. The infinite linear system of equations for these modes obtained by the sewing method was simplified and studied numerically. Curves of eigenfrequency versus plate length are constructed. The form of the eigenfunctions is studied.
