Multiple local solutions to nonlinear control processes

We use the topological tool of Nielsen fixed-point theory to study the controllability of perturbed linear control processes whose control space can be reduced to a finite-dimensional one. These methods produce a lower bound on the number of controls that achieve a given target. We concentrate particularly on the case where the perturbation has sublinear growth, and we exhibit examples of multiple controls of various types that are detected by the Nielsen theory method.This research was partly supported by the Research Grant Teoria del Controllo dei Sistemi Dinamici, Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, Roma, Italy.     

Duality in parameter space and approximation of measures for mixing repellers

For one-dimensional expanding mapsT with an invariant measure we consider, in a parameter space, the envelope _n of the real lines associated to any couple of points of the orbit, connected byn iterations ofT. If the map hass inverses and is piecewise linear, then the sets _n are just the union ofs ⁿ points and converge to the invariant Cantor set ofT. A correspondence between all the sets and their measures is established and allows one to associate the atomic measure on ₁ to the completly continuous measure on the Cantor set. If the map is nonlinear, hyperbolic, and hass inverses, the sets _n are homeomorphic to the Cantor set; they converge to the Cantor set ofT and their measures converge to the measure of the Cantor set whenn. The correspondence between the sets _n allows one to define converging approximation schemes for the map an its measure: one replaces each of thes ⁿ disjoint sets with a point in a convenient neighborhood and a probability equal to its measure and transforms it back to the original set ₁. All the approximations with linear Cantor systems previously proposed are recovered, the converging proprties being straightforward in the present scheme. Moreover, extensions to higher dimensionality and to nondisconnected repellers arte possible and are briefly examined.     

How likely is Polya's drunkard to stay in x⩾ y⩾z?

In his celebrated paper, Polya has considered the random walk in the three-dimensional (cubic) lattice and showed that the probability of return to the origin is less than 1. Subsequent authors have shown that the probability is %34.053.... Here we consider the same random walk, with the restriction that the drunkard is only allowed to stay inxyz. It is shown that his probability of returning to the originand staying in the allowed region is %6.4844....

Thermal coefficient of linear expansion of non-crystalline chalcogenides in the As-S-Se-Te-I system

The object of the paper is an investigation of the glasses of the (As₂S₃)_x(AsSe_0.5Te_0.5I)_100-x. type for 65≤;x≤;95, using methods of thermomechanical analysis. Values of the thermal coefficients of linear expansion in solid and visco-plastic phase were determined. it was shown that introducing arsenic-sulfide in glass-matrix AsChI, i.e. (AsSe_0.5Te_0.5I), leads to an increasing stability of these glasses. The characteristic temperatures of softening Tg and the temperature of the beginning of deformation t_w increase by increasing content of As₂S₃. The analytical forms of dependence of four significant physical values α_g, α_l, Tg, Tw, as a function of As₂S₃ content in the structure of glasses were fitted. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

On a characterization of the normal distribution by means of identically distributed linear forms

Let X₁, X₂,…, be independent, identically distributed random variables. Suppose that the linear forms L₁ = Σ_j=1^∞a_jX_j and L₂ = Σ_j=1^∞b_jX_j exist with probability one and are identically distributed; necessary and sufficient conditions assuring that X₁ is normally distributed are presented. The result is an extension of a theorem of Linnik (Ukrainian Math. J.5 (1953), 207–243, 247–290) concerning the case that the linear forms L₁ and L₂ have a finite number of nonvanishing components. This proof only makes use of elementary properties of characteristic functions and of meromorphic functions.     

Tetra- and hexaatomic cyclic clusters of main-group elements (XY)2 and (XY)3: an ab initio and density functional study

The electronic and molecular structure of planar (cyclic and linear) tetra- and hexaatomic clusters (XY) _n (XY = CC, BN, BeO, LiF; n = 2, 3) was studied using the ab initio CCD(full)/6-311+G** method and density functional approach (B3LYP/6-311+G**). The stability of cyclic clusters C₆, B₃N₃, and Be₃O₃ with D_3h symmetry is mainly determined by the aromaticity of their -electron systems.     

Kinetics of formation of a linear polymer-polymer network system in the presence of 3d metal chelates

For semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) based on an incompatible polyurethane network/linear polymethylmethacrylate pair formed in situ in the presence of 3d metal chelates, we have studied the effect of the system composition on the kinetics of formation of the components and the nature of complex formation between the metal compound and the polymer matrix. The ratio of the system components has been shown to have an effect on the selection of the macroligand in formation of complexes of the metal chelate with the polar groups of the semi-IPN, where the general character of the kinetic behavior for the formation of the network and the linear polymer is preserved. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 351–356, November–December, 2006.
