A largest-distance pivot rule for the simplex algorithm

We propose a new pivot rule for the simplex algorithm, which is demonstrative in the dual space intuitively. Although it is based on normalized reduced costs, like the steepest-edge rule and its variants, the rule is much simpler and cheaper than the latter. We report computational results obtained with the 47 largest Netlib problems in terms of the number of rows and columns, all of the 16 Kennington problems, and the 17 largest BPMPD problems. Over the total 80 problems, a variant of the rule outperformed the Devex rule with iterations and time ratio 1.43 and 3.24, respectively.

半掺杂钙钛矿Pr_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)CoO_3中磁熵变的标度律研究

对半掺杂氧化钴Pr0.5Sr0.5Co O3在居里温度(TC≈232 K)附近的磁熵变(ΔSM)进行了研究.研究表明,磁熵变的最大值(ΔSmaxM)依赖于外磁场强度(H):ΔSmaxM~Hn,其中n=0.55±0.14;半高宽(δTFWHM)与H有如下关系:δTFWHM~H0.4±0.1;而相对制冷能力(RCP)与H几乎呈线性关系.另外,在不同的温度和磁场强度下测得的磁熵变(ΔSM(T,H))能够重新标度为一条普适的曲线.依据该唯象的普适曲线,能够较准确的计算出在不同温度和磁场强度下磁熵变的大小.

Scaling and memory in the non-Poisson process of limit order cancelation

The order submission and cancelation processes are two crucial aspects in the price formation of stocks traded in order-driven markets. We investigate the dynamics of order cancelation by studying the statistical properties of inter-cancelation durations, defined as the waiting times between consecutive order cancelations of 22 liquid stocks traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange of China in year 2003. Three types of cancelations are considered, including cancelation of any limit orders, of buy limit orders and of sell limit orders. We find that the distributions of the inter-cancelation durations of individual stocks can be well modeled by Weibulls for each type of cancelation, and the distributions of rescaled durations of each type of cancelations exhibit a scaling behavior for different stocks. Complex intra-day patterns are also unveiled in the inter-cancelation durations. The detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and the multifractal DFA show that the inter-cancelation durations possess long-term memory and multifractal nature, which are not influenced by the intra-day patterns. No clear crossover phenomenon is observed in the detrended fluctuation functions with respect to the time scale. These findings indicate that the cancelation of limit orders is a non-Poisson process, which has potential worth in the construction of order-driven market models.     

Domain growth dynamics in multicomponent vesicles composed of BSM/DOPC/cholesterol

We have investigated the domain growth dynamics in vesicles composed of BSM/DOPC/cholesterol using fluorescence microscopy. A ternary mixture of equimolar BSM, DOPC, and cholesterol was employed, and two fluorescent dyes were added for comparison studies. We found that in the early stage the number of the domains on the vesicle surface, N(t), decayed with time as N(t)∼t^−2/3, which confirmed previous theoretical prediction and numerical simulation, while in the late stage N(t) decreased more quickly, as ∼t^−β, with β≈2. We discuss the faster growth dynamics based on the collision-induced collision mechanism.     

Wavelets for iterated function systems

We construct a wavelet and a generalised Fourier basis with respect to some fractal measure given by a one-dimensional iterated function system. In this paper we will not assume that these systems are given by linear contractions generalising in this way some previous work of Dutkay, Jorgensen, and Pedersen to the non-linear setting. As a byproduct we are able to provide a Fourier basis also for such linear fractals like the Middle Third Cantor Set which have been left out by previous approaches.     

Statistical properties of turbidity, oxygen and pH fluctuations in the Seine river estuary (France)

We consider here, the fluctuations of turbidity, oxygen and pH time series recorded from the MAREL system (Ifremer, France), which is based on the deployment of data buoys equipped with water analysis capabilities in an automated mode. We perform a spectral analysis (from 10 min to years) of these time series, and we estimate their probability density functions. Oxygen, turbidity and pH are important quantities for ecosystem studies and physics-biology couplings, and their fluctuations reveal the possible influence of environmental factors such as tides and turbulence. Turbidity variability is highly complex and does not appear to be directly coupled to turbulence, since no clear range is visible. On the other hand, oxygen percentage of saturation and pH data show remarkably nice scaling ranges, indicating an important coupling with turbulence, but also biological or chemical activity, since the statistics differ markedly from passive scalars. Several possible sources of this variability are discussed.

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)和电化学测试的方法研究了304不锈钢管和镀锌钢管在模拟地热水(我国中部平原地热水的环境条件)中的腐蚀与结垢行为.结果表明,不锈钢管的结垢产物为"针"状物,其组成主要为CaCO3和MgCO3;镀锌钢管的腐蚀与结垢产物为"球"状物和"针"状物,其组成主要为Zn(OH)2、ZnO和CaCO3;腐蚀产物与结垢产物在晶核的形成生长过程中往往存在相互作用,同时它们在基材表面的分布对镀锌钢管的进一步腐蚀产生一定的抑制作用.
