Energy transfer in double plate system dynamics

The study of energy transfer between coupled subsystems in a hybrid system is very important for applications. This paper presents an analytical analysis of energy transfer between plates of a visco-elastically connected double-plate system in free transversal vibrations. The analytical analysis shows that the visco-elastic connection between plates is responsible for the appearance of two-frequency regime in the time function, which corresponds to one eigen amplitude function of one mode, and also that time functions of different vibration modes are uncoupled, but energy transfer between plates in one eigen mode appears. It was shown for each shape of vibrations. Series of the two Lyapunov exponents corresponding to the one eigen amplitude mode are expressed by using the energy of the corresponding eigen amplitude time component.     

The transversal homoclinic point of a saddle-node implies horseshoe

A method of identifying the existence of horseshoe for a two-dimension diffeomorphism is introduced and utilized to generalize the Birkhoff-Smale Theorem to the saddle-node case. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 19531070).

Minimum size transversals in uniform hypergraphs

A set of vertices in a hypergraph which meets all the edges is called a transversal. The transversal number τ(H)$\tau \left(H\right)$ of a hypergraph H$H$ is the minimum cardinality of a transversal in H$H$. A classical greedy algorithm for constructing a transversal of small size selects in each step a vertex which has the largest degree in the hypergraph formed by the edges not met yet. The analysis of this algorithm (by Chvátal and McDiarmid (1992)  [3]) gave some upper bounds for τ(H)$\tau \left(H\right)$ in a uniform hypergraph H$H$ with a given number of vertices and edges. We discuss a variation of this greedy algorithm. Analyzing this new algorithm, we obtain upper bounds for τ(H)$\tau \left(H\right)$ which improve the bounds by Chvátal and McDiarmid.     

On Generalized Orthodox Transversals

Generalized orthodox transversals are introduced in this article, and some characterizations associated with them are obtained. The related results of Chen on quasi-ideal orthodox transversals obtained in 1999 and Zhang and Wang on generalized inverse transversals obtained in 2008 are generalized and amplified. A structure theorem of a regular semigroup with a perfect generalized orthodox transversal is also established.     

On Inverse Transversals of Ordered Regular Semigroups

We first consider an ordered regular semigroup S in which every element has a biggest inverse and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the subset S ^○ of biggest inverses to be an inverse transversal of S. Such an inverse transversal is necessarily weakly multiplicative. We then investigate principally ordered regular semigroups S with the property that S ^○ is an inverse transversal. In such a semigroup we determine precisely when the set S ^☆ of biggest pre-inverses is a subsemigroup and show that in this case S ^☆ is itself an inverse transversal of a subsemigroup of S. The ordered regular semigroup of 2 × 2 boolean matrices provides an informative illustrative example. The structure of S, when S ^☆ is a group, is also described.     

Split quasi-adequate semigroups

The so-called split IC quasi-adequate semigroups are in the class of idempotent-connected quasi-adequate semigroups. It is proved that an IC quasi-adequate semigroup is split if and only if it has an adequate transversal. The structure of such semigroup whose band of idempotents is regular will be particularly investigated. Our obtained results enrich those results given by McAlister and Blyth on split orthodox semigroups.     

A Non-expensive Homological Helly Theorem

We will discuss the following result: for a topological space X with the property that $H_k(U)=0$ for $k⩾d$ and every open subset U of X, a finite family of open sets in X has nonempty intersection if for any subfamily of size j, $1⩽j⩽d+1$, the ($d-j$)-dimensional reduced homology group of its intersection is zero. We also use this theorem to discuss new results concerning transversal affine planes to families of convex sets.     

Further Results on Large Sets of Resolvable Idempotent Latin Squares

An idempotent Latin square of order v is called resolvable and denoted by RILS(v) if the off‐diagonal cells can be resolved into disjoint transversals. A large set of resolvable idempotent Latin squares of order v, briefly LRILS(v), is a collection of RILS(v)s pairwise agreeing on only the main diagonal. In this paper, it is established that there exists an LRILS(v) for any positive integer , except for , and except possibly for .
