Discretization by finite elements of a model parameter dependent problem

The discretization by finite elements of a model variational problem for a clamped loaded beam is studied with emphasis on the effect of the beam thickness, which appears as a parameter in the problem, on the accuracy. It is shown that the approximation achieved by a standard finite element method degenerates for thin beams. In contrast a large family of mixed finite element methods are shown to yield quasioptimal approximation independent of the thickness parameter. The most useful of these methods may be realized by replacing the integrals appearing in the stiffness matrix of the standard method by Gauss quadratures.     

A variable metric algorithm for unconstrained minimization without evaluation of derivatives

Summary This paper presents a modification of the BFGS-method for unconstrained minimization that avoids computation of derivatives. The gradients are approximated by the aid of differences of function values. These approximations are calculated in such a way that a complete convergence proof can be given. The presented algorithm is implementable, no exact line search is required. It is shown that, if the objective function is convex and some usually required conditions hold, the algorithm converges to a solution. If the Hessian matrix of the objective function is positive definite and satisfies a Lipschitz-condition in a neighbourhood of the solution, then the rate of convergence is superlinear.     

Backward differentiation type formulas for Volterra integral equations of the second kind

Summary Numerical integration formulas are discussed which are obtained by differentiation of the Volterra integral equation and by applying backward differentiation formulas to the resulting integro-differential equation. In particular, the stability of the method is investigated for a class of convolution kernels. The accuracy and stability behaviour of the method proposed in this paper is compared with that of (i) a block-implicit Runge-Kutta scheme, and (ii) the scheme obtained by applying directly a quadrature rule which is reducible to the backward differentiation formulas. The present method is particularly advantageous in the case of stiff Volterra integral equations.     

Quaternionic complexes

Each regular or semi-regular integral affine orbit of the Weyl group of gl(2n + 2, ) invariantly determines a locally exact differential complex on a 4n dimensional quaternionic manifold. This gives quaternionic analogues of Dolbeault cohomology on complex manifolds. We compute the index of such complexes in the hyper-Kähler case, showing that quaternionic cohomology is not trivial.     

光电倍增管在磷酸液声致发光实验中的应用

对不同厚度液体进行光强测量,深入探索空化气泡的运动,研究发光机理很有意义。用超声激励法在磷酸液体中实现多泡声致发光,研究不同共振频率下发光的特点。利用光电倍增管多次测量发光强度相互比较,结果是在液体厚度10 cm、驱动频率f=21.061kHz和f=20.316kHz时,周期性较好为50μs,液体通过漩涡集中气泡可以使更多气泡发光;在液体厚度3 mm、驱动频率f=17.91kHz和f=19kHz时,周期性很好为25μs;且光信号都较强。结论是磷酸中声致发光强度、周期与液体厚度、驱动频率密切相关。本文以磷酸液多泡声致发光实验研究为基础,从内部和外部原理来出发,详细介绍了光电倍增管在多泡声致发光光强测量中的实用,为今后研究者提供了一些经验。根据实验过程中遇到的一些实际问题提出了建议和改善意见。     

The pure state space of quantum mechanics as Hermitian symmetric space

The pure state space of Quantum Mechanics is investigated as Hermitian Symmetric Kähler manifold. The classical principles of quantum mechanics (Quantum Superposition Principle, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, Quantum Probability Principle) and Spectral Theory of observables are discussed in this non-linear geometrical context.     

Killing spinors on Lorentzian manifolds

The aim of this paper is to describe some results concerning the geometry of Lorentzian manifolds admitting Killing spinors. We prove that there are imaginary Killing spinors on simply connected Lorentzian Einstein–Sasaki manifolds. In the Riemannian case, an odd-dimensional complete simply connected manifold (of dimension n≠7) is Einstein–Sasaki if and only if it admits a non-trivial Killing spinor to . The analogous result does not hold in the Lorentzian case. We give an example of a non-Einstein Lorentzian manifold admitting an imaginary Killing spinor. A Lorentzian manifold admitting a real Killing spinor is at least locally a codimension one warped product with a special warping function. The fiber of the warped product is either a Riemannian manifold with a real or imaginary Killing spinor or with a parallel spinor, or it again is a Lorentzian manifold with a real Killing spinor. Conversely, all warped products of that form admit real Killing spinors.

提出了一种半监督稀疏多流形嵌入方法,并应用于高光谱影像分类.该方法充分利用少量标记和大量无标记样本,采用稀疏表示方法得到样本的稀疏系数,并选取来自同一流形的点作为近邻点,然后构建相似图来表征多流形结构,得到样本在每个流形上低维鉴别特征,增加来自同一流形的数据点聚集性,进而提升分类性能.本文方法在PaviaU和Salinas两个高光谱数据集上的总体分类准确度分别达到84.91%和89.74%,相较于其他方法明显提高了地物分类性能.
