The vibration and stability of non-homogeneous orthotropic conical shells with clamped edges subjected to uniform external pressures

In this paper an analytical procedure is given to study the free vibration and stability characteristics of homogeneous and non-homogeneous orthotropic truncated and complete conical shells with clamped edges under uniform external pressures. The non-homogeneous orthotropic material properties of conical shells vary continuously in the thickness direction. The governing equations according to the Donnell’s theory are solved by Galerkin’s method and critical hydrostatic and lateral pressures and fundamental natural frequencies have been found analytically. The appropriate formulas for homogeneous orthotropic and isotropic conical shells and for cylindrical shells made of homogeneous and non-homogeneous, orthotropic and isotropic materials are found as a special case. Several examples are presented to show the accuracy and efficiency of the formulation. The closed-form solutions are verified by accurate different solutions. Finally, the influences of the non-homogeneity, orthotropy and the variations of conical shells characteristics on the critical lateral and hydrostatic pressures and natural frequencies are investigated, when Young’s moduli and density vary together and separately. The results obtained for homogeneous cases are compared with their counterparts in the literature.     

An always convergent algorithm for the largest eigenvalue of an irreducible nonnegative tensor

In this paper we propose an iterative method to calculate the largest eigenvalue of a nonnegative tensor. We prove this method converges for any irreducible nonnegative tensor. We also apply this method to study the positive definiteness of a multivariate form.

Solution of the quadratically hyponormal completion problem

For , let be a collection of () positive weights. The Quadratically Hyponormal Completion Problem seeks necessary and sufficient conditions on to guarantee the existence of a quadratically hyponormal unilateral weighted shift with as the initial segment of weights. We prove that admits a quadratically hyponormal completion if and only if the self-adjoint matrix

is positive and invertible, where , , , , , and, for notational convenience, . As a particular case, this result shows that a collection of four positive numbers always admits a quadratically hyponormal completion. This provides a new qualitative criterion to distinguish quadratic hyponormality from 2-hyponormality.

Eigenvalue interlacing and weight parameters of graphs

Eigenvalue interlacing is a versatile technique for deriving results in algebraic combinatorics. In particular, it has been successfully used for proving a number of results about the relation between the (adjacency matrix or Laplacian) spectrum of a graph and some of its properties. For instance, some characterizations of regular partitions, and bounds for some parameters, such as the independence and chromatic numbers, the diameter, the bandwidth, etc., have been obtained. For each parameter of a graph involving the cardinality of some vertex sets, we can define its corresponding weight parameter by giving some “weights” (that is, the entries of the positive eigenvector) to the vertices and replacing cardinalities by square norms. The key point is that such weights “regularize” the graph, and hence allow us to define a kind of regular partition, called “pseudo-regular,” intended for general graphs. Here we show how to use interlacing for proving results about some weight parameters and pseudo-regular partitions of a graph. For instance, generalizing a well-known result of Lovász, it is shown that the weight Shannon capacity Θ^* of a connected graph Γ, with n vertices and (adjacency matrix) eigenvalues λ₁ > λ₂ … λ_n, satisfies

where Θ is the (standard) Shannon capacity and v is the positive eigenvector normalized to have smallest entry 1. In the special case of regular graphs, the results obtained have some interesting corollaries, such as an upper bound for some of the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of a distance-regular graph. Finally, some results involving the Laplacian spectrum are derived.     

ITERATIVE ILU PRECONDITIONERS FOR LINEAR SYSTEMS AND EIGENPROBLEMS

Iterative ILU factorizations are constructed,analyzed and applied as preconditioners to solve both linear systems and eigenproblems.The computational kernels of these novel Iterative ILU factorizations are sparse matrix-matrix multiplications,which are easy and efficient to implement on both serial and parallel computer architectures and can take full advantage of existing matrix-matrix multiplication codes.We also introduce level-based and threshold-based algorithms in order to enhance the accuracy of the proposed Iterative ILU factorizations.The results of several numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of the proposed preconditioners to solve both linear systems and eigenvalue problems.     

The first eigenvalue of a closed manifold with positive Ricci curvature

We give a new estimate on the lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a closed manifold with positive Ricci curvature in terms of the lower bound of the Ricci curvature and the largest interior radius of the nodal domains of eigenfunctions of the eigenvalue.

     

Computation of the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation by symplectic and trigonometrically fitted symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta methods

In this Letter we present an explicit symplectic method for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation. We also develop a modified symplectic integrator with the trigonometrically fitted property based on this method. Our new methods are tested on the computation of the eigenvalues of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, the doubly anharmonic oscillator and the Morse potential.
