Continuous Selectors of Fixed Point Sets of Multifunctions with Decomposable Values

Existence theorems of continuous selectors whose values are fixed points of multivalued contractions are proved. As an application, the existence of continuous selectors to generalized solution sets of partial differential inclusions, depending on a parameter, is obtained.     

40 GHz Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers: Theory, Simulations and Experiment

We study both theoretically and experimentally typical operation regimes of 40 GHz monolithic mode-locked lasers. The underlying Traveling Wave Equation model reveals quantitative agreement for characteristics of the fundamental mode-locking as pulse width and repetition frequency tuning, as well as qualitative agreement with the experiments for other dynamic regimes. Especially the appearance of stable harmonic mode-locking at 80 GHz has been predicted theoretically and confirmed by measurements. Furthermore, we derive and apply a simplified Delay-Differential-Equation model which guides us to a qualitative analysis of bifurcations responsible for the appearance and the breakup of different mode-locking regimes. Higher harmonics of mode-locking are predicted by this model as well.     

Isomorphous inclusions of silicon, aluminum, and titanium in the germanate zeolite IPC-3

The zeolite IPC-3, isomorphous with germanate zeolite ASU-16, and its silicon, aluminum, and titanium analogs, were obtained in the presence of 1,6-diaminohexane as a template. It is possible to incorporate selectively the elements in different crystallographic positions, determined by the nature of the element, particularly its valency and its coordination number with respect to oxygen. Silicon takes tetrahedral positions in the IPC-3 lattice, Al either tetrahedral or octahedral positions, and Ti octahedral positions. Small amounts of the lithium cations facilitate tetrahedral coordination and increase the Al content in IPC-3. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 246–251, July–August, 2006.     

Invariance principles for hybrid systems with memory

Hybrid systems with memory are dynamical systems exhibiting both delayed and hybrid dynamics. Such systems can be described by hybrid functional inclusions. Classical invariance principles play an instrumental role in proving stability and convergence of dynamical systems. Invariance principles for general hybrid systems with delays, however, remain an open topic. In this paper, we prove invariance principles for hybrid systems with memory, using both Lyapunov–Razumikhin function and Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional methods. These invariance principles are then applied to derive two stability results as corollaries.     

A transmission problem on a polygonal partition: regularity and shape differentiability

We consider a transmission problem on a polygonal partition for the two-dimensional conductivity equation. For suitable classes of partitions we establish the exact behaviour of the gradient of solutions in a neighbourhood of the vertexes of the partition. This allows to prove shape differentiability of solutions and to establish an explicit formula for the shape derivative.     

Die Isolierung radioaktiv markierter nichtmetallischer Einschlüsse aus Hochlegierten Stählen

Zur Isolierung von Einshlüssen aus hochlegierten Stählen werden die Hauptkomponenten Fe, Ni, Cr und weitere Metalle durch mehrstufig ausgeführte Flüssig-Flüssig-Extraktionen mit verschiedenen Extraktionsmitteln abgetrennt. Die im Eindampfrückstand der wäβrigen Phase nach der Extraktion verbleibenden Einschlüsse können für die meisten Radionuklide ohne nennenswerte Selbstabsorption mit einem Groβflächenzählrohr oder anderen geeignetenZählvorrichtungen ausgemessen werden.

Exchange Relation Planar Algebras

An inclusion of II ₁ factors NM of finite index has as an invariant, a double sequence of finite-dimensional algebras known as the standard invariant. Planar algebras were introduced by V. Jones as a geometric tool for computing standard invariants of existing subfactors as well as generating standard invariants for new subfactors. In this paper we define a class of planar algebras, termed exchange relation planar algebras, that provides a general framework for understanding several classes of known subfactor inclusions: the Fuss–Catalan algebras (i.e. those coming from the presence of intermediate subfactors) and all depth 2 subfactors. In addition, we present a new class of planar algebras (and thus a new class of subfactors) coming from automorphism subgroups of finite groups.     

On a Multivalued Version of the Sharkovskii Theorem and its Application to Differential Inclusions

Motivated by the applications to differential equations without uniqueness conditions, we separately prove multivalued versions of the celebrated Sharkovskii and Li–Yorke theorems. These are then applied, via multivalued Poincaré operators, to Carathéodory differential inclusions. Thus, besides another, infinitely many subharmonics of all integer orders can be obtained. Unlike in the single-valued case, for example, period three brings serious obstructions. Three counter-examples, related to these complications, are therefore presented as well. In a multivalued setting, new phenomena are so exhibited.
