Geometric Ergodicity of Metropolis-Hastings Algorithms for Conditional Simulation in Generalized Linear Mixed Models

Conditional simulation is useful in connection with inference and prediction for a generalized linear mixed model. We consider random walk Metropolis and Langevin-Hastings algorithms for simulating the random effects given the observed data, when the joint distribution of the unobserved random effects is multivariate Gaussian. In particular we study the desirable property of geometric ergodicity, which ensures the validity of central limit theorems for Monte Carlo estimates.

A Useful Criterion on Studying Consistent Estimation in Community Detection

In network analysis, developing a unified theoretical framework that can compare methods under different models is an interesting problem. This paper proposes a partial solution to this problem. We summarize the idea of using a separation condition for a standard network and sharp threshold of the Erdös–Rényi random graph to study consistent estimation, and compare theoretical error rates and requirements on the network sparsity of spectral methods under models that can degenerate to a stochastic block model as a four-step criterion SCSTC. Using SCSTC, we find some inconsistent phenomena on separation condition and sharp threshold in community detection. In particular, we find that the original theoretical results of the SPACL algorithm introduced to estimate network memberships under the mixed membership stochastic blockmodel are sub-optimal. To find the formation mechanism of inconsistencies, we re-establish the theoretical convergence rate of this algorithm by applying recent techniques on row-wise eigenvector deviation. The results are further extended to the degree-corrected mixed membership model. By comparison, our results enjoy smaller error rates, lesser dependence on the number of communities, weaker requirements on network sparsity, and so forth. The separation condition and sharp threshold obtained from our theoretical results match the classical results, so the usefulness of this criterion on studying consistent estimation is guaranteed. Numerical results for computer-generated networks support our finding that spectral methods considered in this paper achieve the threshold of separation condition.     

Erdős–Gallai stability theorem for linear forests

The Erd?s–Gallai Theorem states that every graph of average degree more than $l?2$ contains a path of order $l$ for $l\ge 2$. In this paper, we obtain a stability version of the Erd?s–Gallai Theorem in terms of minimum degree. Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and $F=\left({?}_{i=1}^k{P}_{2a_i}\right)?\left({?}_{i=1}^l{P}_{2b_i+1}\right)$ be $k+l$ disjoint paths of order $2a_1,\dots ,2a_k,2b_1+1,\dots ,2b_l+1,$ respectively, where $k\ge 0$, $0\le l\le 2$, and $k+l\ge 2$. If the minimum degree $\delta \left(G\right)\ge {\sum }_{i=1}^k{a}_i+{\sum }_{i=1}^l{b}_i?1$, then $F?G$ except several classes of graphs for sufficiently large $n$, which extends and strengths the results of Ali and Staton for an even path and Yuan and Nikiforov for an odd path.     

A stabilized mixed method applied to Stokes system with nonhomogeneous source terms: The stationary case Dedicated to Prof. R. Rodríguez,on the occasion of his 65th birthday

This article is concerned with the Stokes system with nonhomogeneous source terms and nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. First, we reformulate the problem in its dual mixed form, and then, we study its corresponding well-posedness. Next, in order to circumvent the well-known Babuška-Brezzi condition, we analyze a stabilized formulation of the resulting approach. Additionally, we endow the scheme with an a posteriori error estimator that is reliable and efficient. Finally, we provide numerical experiments that illustrate the performance of the corresponding adaptive algorithm and support its use in practice.     

Permethylated dinuclear Mn(III) coordination nanostructure with stripe-ordered magnetic domains

A di-manganese(III) complex structure was built by an original approach consisting of a two-step procedure. First, the mononuclear complex of the manganese(III) with the Schiff base of the salen-type ligand (H₂L) derived from 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde was prepared. The main feature of note is the 12-membered chelate ring formed upon coordination of the Schiff base to central atom, which adopts a distorted N₂O₄ octahedron environment. In the second step, the acetato co-ligand in this complex is replaced by the carboxylate anion of a dicarboxilic acid, namely adipic acid. This metathesis reaction leads to the formation of dinuclear structure by connecting two manganese centers. The structure, as was determined by X-ray single crystal diffractometry, elemental and spectral analysis, is permethylated dinuclear complex with long aliphatic bridge. Thermal and magnetic properties were studied. In addition, the formation of magnetically induced stripe-ordered domains was highlighted by the magnetic force microscopy (MFM) on films born from diluted solution.
