A maximum principle for smooth optimal impulsive control problems with multipoint state constraints

A nonlinear optimal impulsive control problem with trajectories of bounded variation subject to intermediate state constraints at a finite number on nonfixed instants of time is considered. Features of this problem are discussed from the viewpoint of the extension of the classical optimal control problem with the corresponding state constraints. A necessary optimality condition is formulated in the form of a smooth maximum principle; thorough comments are given, a short proof is presented, and examples are discussed.

A maximum principle for optimal control problem of fully coupled forward-backward stochastic systems with partial information

The paper is concerned with a stochastic optimal control problem in which the controlled system is described by a fully coupled nonlinear forward-backward stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion. It is required that all admissible control processes are adapted to a given subfiltration of the filtration generated by the underlying Brownian motion. For this type of partial information control, one sufficient (a verification theorem) and one necessary conditions of optimality are proved. The control domain need to be convex and the forward diffusion coefficient of the system can contain the control variable.

GRASP with hybrid heuristic-subproblem optimization for the multi-level capacitated minimum spanning tree problem

We propose a GRASP using an hybrid heuristic-subproblem optimization approach for the Multi-Level Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree (MLCMST) problem. The motivation behind such approach is that to evaluate moves rearranging the configuration of a subset of nodes may require to solve a smaller-sized MLCMST instance. We thus use heuristic rules to define, in both the construction and the local search phases, subproblems which are in turn solved exactly by employing an integer programming model. We report numerical results obtained on benchmark instances from the literature, showing the approach to be competitive in terms of solution quality. The proposed GRASP have in fact improved the best known upper bounds for almost all of the considered instances.     

DFT-HSAB prediction of regioselectivity in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions: behavior of (4-substituted)benzonitrile oxides towards methyl propiolate

The regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions between (4-substituted)benzonitrile oxides and methyl propiolate cannot be rationalized on the basis of the electron demand of the reactants or frontier molecular-orbital theory. To this problem, we have applied a quantitative formulation of the hard-soft acid-base principle developed within the density functional theory. Global and local reactivity indices were computed at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level. The details of charge transfer upon the reactive encounter have been elucidated, and the computed regioselectivity has been shown to be in good agreement with experimental data.     

An Energy Interconversion Principle Applied in Reaction dynamics for the determination of equilibrium standard states

Chemical and other reaction theories involving thermodynamical equilibrium states utilize statistical mechanical equilibrium density distributions. Here, a definition of heat-work transformation termed thermo-mechanical coherence is first made, and it is conjectured that most molecular bonds have the above heat-work transformation property, which models a chemical bond as a “centrifugal heat engine”, where the internal energy state need not correspond to any of the standard equilibrium densities. Expressions are derived for the standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy where the bond coordinates need not conform to a non-degenerate Boltzmann state, since bond breakdown and formation are processes that have direction, whereas equilibrium distributions are derived when the Hamiltonian is of fixed form, which is not the case for chemical reactions using localized Hamiltonians. The empirically determined Gibbs free energy from a known molecular dynamics simulation of a dimer reaction , accords rather well with the theoretical estimate. A relation connecting the rate of reaction with the equilibrium constant and other kinetic parameters is derived and could place the commonly observed linear relationship between the logarithms of the rate constant and equilibrium constant on a firmer theoretical footing. These relationships could include analogues of the Hammett correlations used extensively in physical organic chemistry, as well as others which are temperature dependent. One prediction of the principles developed here is that the equilibrium standard reaction free energy is more dependent on the height of the intermolecular potential than its depth, so that the sign of the ΔG ^θ can change for varying barrier height with fixed well depth, which may appear counter-intuitive. All the above developments can be tested directly in simulations and therefore provides a fertile ground for further research with significant implications on how standard states are determined in relation to the direction of chemical reaction.This work treats the molecular bond using standard thermodynamics as if it were a system, and it is anticipated that with the advent of single-molecule science and experiment, that might be one direction in which molecular statistical thermodynamics would develop.     

Probability density in the complex plane

The correspondence principle asserts that quantum mechanics resembles classical mechanics in the high-quantum-number limit. In the past few years, many papers have been published on the extension of both quantum mechanics and classical mechanics into the complex domain. However, the question of whether complex quantum mechanics resembles complex classical mechanics at high energy has not yet been studied. This paper introduces the concept of a local quantum probability density ρ(z) in the complex plane. It is shown that there exist infinitely many complex contours C of infinite length on which ρ(z) dz is real and positive. Furthermore, the probability integral is finite. Demonstrating the existence of such contours is the essential element in establishing the correspondence between complex quantum and classical mechanics. The mathematics needed to analyze these contours is subtle and involves the use of asymptotics beyond all orders.
