双变量LMEs一种异类约束最小二乘解的MCG算法

借鉴求线性矩阵方程组(LMEs)同类约束最小二乘解的修正共轭梯度法,建立了求双变量LMEs的一种异类约束最小二乘解的修正共轭梯度法,并证明了该算法的收敛性.在不考虑舍入误差的情况下,利用该算法不仅可在有限步计算后得到LMEs的一组异类约束最小二乘解,而且选取特殊初始矩阵时,可求得LMEs的极小范数异类约束最小二乘解.另外,还可求得指定矩阵在该LMEs的异类约束最小二乘解集合中的最佳逼近.算例表明,该算法是有效的.     

Positive operator based iterative algorithms for solving Lyapunov equations for Itô stochastic systems with Markovian jumps

This paper studies the iterative solutions of Lyapunov matrix equations associated with Itô stochastic systems having Markovian jump parameters. For the discrete-time case, when the associated stochastic system is mean square stable, two iterative algorithms with one in direct form and the other one in implicit form are established. The convergence of the implicit iteration is proved by the properties of some positive operators associated with the stochastic system. For the continuous-time case, a transformation is first performed so that it is transformed into an equivalent discrete-time Lyapunov equation. Then the iterative solution can be obtained by applying the iterative algorithm developed for discrete-time Lyapunov equation. Similar to the discrete-time case, an implicit iteration is also proposed for the continuous case. For both discrete-time and continuous-time Lyapunov equations, the convergence rates of the established algorithms are analyzed and compared. Numerical examples are worked out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.     

A graph-theoretic approach to quasigroup cycle numbers

Norton and Stein associated a number with each idempotent quasigroup or diagonalized Latin square of given finite order n, showing that it is congruent mod 2 to the triangular number T(n). In this paper, we use a graph-theoretic approach to extend their invariant to an arbitrary finite quasigroup. We call it the cycle number, and identify it as the number of connected components in a certain graph, the cycle graph. The congruence obtained by Norton and Stein extends to the general case, giving a simplified proof (with topology replacing case analysis) of the well-known congruence restriction on the possible orders of general Schroeder quasigroups. Cycle numbers correlate nicely with algebraic properties of quasigroups. Certain well-known classes of quasigroups, such as Schroeder quasigroups and commutative Moufang loops, are shown to maximize the cycle number among all quasigroups belonging to a more general class.

Latin squares with restricted transversals

We prove that for all odd m ≥ 3 there exists a latin square of order 3 m that contains an ( m ? 1 ) × m latin subrectangle consisting of entries not in any transversal. We prove that for all even n ≥ 10 there exists a latin square of order n in which there is at least one transversal, but all transversals coincide on a single entry. A corollary is a new proof of the existence of a latin square without an orthogonal mate, for all odd orders n ≥ 11 . Finally, we report on an extensive computational study of transversal‐free entries and sets of disjoint transversals in the latin squares of order n ? 9 . In particular, we count the number of species of each order that possess an orthogonal mate. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 20:124‐141, 2012     

Stability of neutral stochastic delayed systems with switching and distributed-delay dependent impulses

This paper is devoted to discuss the exponential stability in mean square of neutral stochastic delayed systems (NSDDs) with switching and distributed-delay dependent impulses. By using multiple Lyapunov functions and average dwell time (ADT), we provide some sufficient conditions for the exponential stability in mean square for NSDDs with switching and distributed-delay dependent impulses. Compared with the existing related works, we consider not only the influences of switches and neutral type on the stability of NSDDs with switching and distributed-delay dependent impulses but also the influences of both the stable continuous dynamics case and the stable discrete dynamics case. Finally, we provide two examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the theory.     

The effects of curvature and surface heterogeneity on the adsorption of water in finite length carbon nanopores: a computer simulation study

The effects of pore curvature and surface heterogeneity on the adsorption of water on a graphitic surface at 298 K were investigated using a Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation. Slit and cylindrical pores are used to study the curvature effects. To investigate the surface heterogeneity the functional group and the structural defect on the surface were specifically considered. The hydroxyl group (OH) is used as a model for the functional group and the water potential model proposed by Müller et al. is used to calculate the water interaction. For the homogeneous cylinder, the pore filling occurs at a pressure lower than the saturation pressure of the water model, while it is greater in the case of homogeneous slit pore. The size of hysteresis loop is more sensitive to the length of cylinder than that of the slit, and it increases with decreasing pore length. The isotherms of water in cylindrical pores are found to depend on the position and the concentration of the functional group. The pore filling pressure is lower with an increased number and/or with the position of the functional group. The structural defect shows significant effects on the adsorption isotherm in shifting to a lower pore filling pressure when it is located at a position away from the pore entrance. The adsorption of water on the heterogeneous surface was studied and it was found that the simulated isotherm can describe the behaviour of water on Graphitized Thermal Carbon Black (GTCB) satisfactorily. The water cluster grows mostly along the surface for the case of finite extent surface, while for the slit the pore grows in all directions but the preference is a direction perpendicular to the pore wall. Reasons for the direction of growth will be discussed.
