Traveling waves for nonlinear cellular neural networks with distributed delays

In this paper, we will establish the existence and nonexistence of traveling waves for nonlinear cellular neural networks with finite or infinite distributed delays. The dynamics of each given cell depends on itself and its nearest m left or l right neighborhood cells where delays exist in self-feedback and left or right neighborhood interactions. Our approach is to use Schauder?s fixed point theorem coupled with upper and lower solutions of the integral equation in a suitable Banach space. Further, we obtain the exponential asymptotic behavior in the negative infinity and the existence of traveling waves for the minimal wave speed by the limiting argument. Our results improve and cover some previous works.     

ContributionsTriangular embeddings of Kn−Km with unboundedly large m

The author has proposed methods of constructing index 2 and 3 current graphs generating triangular embeddings of graphs K_n−K_m with unboundedly large m (as n increases). As a result, triangular embeddings of graphs of many families of graphs K_n−K_m with unboundedly large m were constructed. The paper gives a survey of these results and a short explanation of the methods.     

Manufacturing cell formation using similarity coefficients and a parallel genetic TSP algorithm: Formulation and comparison

Many algorithms have been proposed to form manufacturing cells from component routings. However, many of these do not have the capability of solving large problems. We propose a procedure using similarity coefficients and a parallel genetic implementation of a TSP algorithm that is capable of solving large problems of up to 1000 parts and 1000 machines. In addition, we also compare our procedure with many existing procedures using nine well-known problems from the literature.

The results show that the proposed procedure compares well with the existing procedures and should be useful to practitioners and researchers.     

两类广义Petersen 图的Euler亏格

广义 Petersen 图 P(n, m) 是这样的一个图:它的顶点集是{u_i, v_i | i=0,1, ^… , n-1}, 边集是 {u_iu_i+1, v_iv_i+m, u_iv_i | i=0,1, ^…, n-1}, 这里 m, n 是正整数、加法是在模n 下且 m<|n/2| . 这篇文章证明了P(2m+1, m)(m≥ 2) 的 Euler 亏格是1, 并且 P(2m+2, m)(m≥ 5) 的 Euler 亏格是2.     

Netlike partial cubes III. The median cycle property

A graph G has the Median Cycle Property (MCP) if every triple (u₀,u₁,u₂) of vertices of G admits a unique median or a unique median cycle, that is a gated cycle C of G such that for all i,j,k∈{0,1,2}, if x_i is the gate of u_i in C, then: {x_i,x_j}⊆I_G(u_i,u_j) if i≠j, and d_G(x_i,x_j)<d_G(x_i,x_k)+d_G(x_k,x_j). We prove that a netlike partial cube has the MCP if and only if it contains no triple of convex cycles pairwise having an edge in common and intersecting in a single vertex. Moreover a finite netlike partial cube G has the MCP if and only if G can be obtained from a set of even cycles and hypercubes by successive gated amalgamations, and equivalently, if and only if G can be obtained from K₁ by a sequence of special expansions. We also show that the geodesic interval space of a netlike partial cube having the MCP is a Pash-Peano space (i.e. a closed join space).     

Prevalence and structure of adding machines for cellular automata

Consider the collection of left permutive cellular automata Φ with no memory, defined on the space S of all doubly infinite sequences from a finite alphabet. There exists , a dense subset of S, such that is topologically conjugate to an odometer for all so long as Φm is not the identity map for any m. Moreover, Φ generates the same odometer for all . The set is a dense Gδ subset with full measure of a particular subspace of S.
