Bounds for the fundamental solutions of elliptic and parabolic equations

It is shown that any elloptic or parabolic operator in nondivergence form with measurable coefficients has a global fundamental solution verifying certain pointwise bounds.     

Perfect controlled joint remote state preparation independent of entanglement degree of the quantum channel

We construct a quantum circuit to produce a task-oriented partially entangled state and use it as the quantum channel for controlled joint remote state preparation. Unlike most previous works, where the parameters of the quantum channel are given to the receiver who can accomplish the task only probabilistically by consuming auxiliary resource, operation and measurement, here we give them to the supervisor. Thanks to the knowledge of the task-oriented quantum channel parameters, the supervisor can carry out proper complete projective measurement, which, combined with the feed-forward technique adapted by the preparers, not only much economizes (simplifies) the receiver's resource (operation) but also yields unit total success probability. Notably, such apparent perfection does not depend on the entanglement degree of the shared quantum channel. Our protocol is within the reach of current quantum technologies.

A simultaneous canonical form of a pair of matrices and applications involving the weighted Moore–Penrose inverse

In this paper, a simultaneous canonical form of a pair of rectangular complex matrices is developed. Using this new tool we give a necessary and sufficient condition to assure that the reverse order law is valid for the weighted Moore–Penrose inverse. Additionally, we characterize matrices ordered by the weighted star partial order and adjacent matrices as applications.     

Simultaneous Determination of Acetaminophen and Phenobarbital in Suppositories by Partial Least-Squares Spectrophotometric Calibration

Abstract

The use of partial least-squares spectrophotometric calibration for the simultaneous determination of suppositories in a multicomponent formulation is presented. This method is applied to the deternination of acetaminophen and phenobarbital in suppository preparations. The results show that these components in a molar ratio of about 61:1 in suppositories have been determined simultaneously with high precision.     

Invertibility of a linear combination of two matrices and partial orderings

Improved solution for inventory model with defective goods

This paper is a consequence for a paper of Lin et al. [S.W. Lin, Y.W. Wou, P. Julian, Note on minimax distribution free procedure for integrated inventory model with defective goods and stochastic lead time demand, Appl. Math. Model. 35 (2011) 2087–2093]. We simplified their complicated solution procedure and then presented a revision to patch their negligence for the boundary minimums. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate our findings.     

On the self-similar solution to the Euler equations for an incompressible fluid in three dimensions

The equations for a self-similar solution to an inviscid incompressible fluid are mapped into an integral equation that hopefully can be solved by iteration. It is argued that the exponents of the similarity are ruled by Kelvin's theorem of conservation of circulation. The end result is an iteration with a nonlinear term entering a kernel given by a 3D integral for a swirling flow, likely within reach of present-day computational power. Because of the slow decay of the similarity solution at large distances, its kinetic energy diverges, and some mathematical results excluding non-trivial solutions of the Euler equations in the self-similar case do not apply.     

Powers of edge ideals with linear resolutions

We show that if G is a gap-free and diamond-free graph, then I(G)^s has a linear minimal free resolution for every s≥2.
