Some remarks on compact constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in a halfspace of ℍ n+1

We consider embedded compact hypersurfacesM in a halfspace of hyperbolic space with boundaryM in the boundary geodesic hyperplaneP of the halfspace and with non-zero constant mean curvature. We prove the following. Let {M _n } be a sequence of such hypersurfaces withM _n contained in a disk of radiusr _n centered at a point P such thatr _n 0 and that eachM _n is a large. H-hypersurface,H > 1. Then there exists a subsequence of {M _n } converging to the sphere of mean curvatureH tangent toP at. In the case of smallH-hypersurfaces orH 1, if we add a condition on the curvature of the boundary, there exists a subsequence of {M _n } which are graphs. The convergence is smooth on compact subset of ³ .     

Moderate Deviations for the overlap parameter in the Hopfield model

We derive moderate deviation principles for the overlap parameter in the Hopfield model of spin glasses and neural networks. If the inverse temperature is different from the critical inverse temperature _c=1 and the number of patterns M(N) satisfies M(N)/N 0, the overlap parameter multiplied by N, 1/2 < < 1, obeys a moderate deviation principle with speed N^1–2 and a quadratic rate function (i.e. the Gaussian limit for = 1/2 remains visible on the moderate deviation scale). At the critical temperature we need to multiply the overlap parameter by N, 1/4 < < 1. If then M(N) satisfies (M(N)⁶ log N M(N)²N⁴ log N)/N 0, the rescaled overlap parameter obeys a moderate deviation principle with speed N^1–4 and a rate function that is basically a fourth power. The random term occurring in the Central Limit theorem for the overlap at _c = 1 is no longer present on a moderate deviation scale. If the scaling is even closer to N^1/4, e.g. if we multiply the overlap parameter by N^1/4 log log N the moderate deviation principle breaks down. The case of variable temperature converging to one is also considered. If _N converges to _c fast enough, i.e. faster than the non-Gaussian rate function persists, whereas for _N converging to one slower than the moderate deviations principle is given by the Gaussian rate. At the borderline the moderate deviation rate function is the one at criticality plus an additional Gaussian term.Research supported by the Volkswagen-Stiftung (RiP-program at Oberwolfach, Germany).Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 60F10 (primary), 60K35, 82B44, 82D30 (secondary)     

Worst Case Traffic from Regulated Sources

We address the problem of finding the worst possible traffic a user of a telecommunications network can send. We take worst to mean having the highest effective bandwidth, a concept that arises in the Large Deviation theory of queueing networks. The traffic is assumed to be stationary and to satisfy leaky bucket constraints, which represent the a priori knowledge the network operator has concerning the traffic. Firstly, we show that this optimization problem may be reduced to an optimization over periodic traffic sources. Then, using convexity methods, we show that the realizations of a worst case source must have the following properties: at each instant the transmission rate must be either zero, the peak rate, or the leaky bucket rate; it may only be the latter when the leaky bucket is empty or full; each burst of activity must either start with the leaky bucket empty or end with it full.     

Variational representations of Varadhan functionals

Motivated by the theory of large deviations, we introduce a class of non-negative non-linear functionals that have a variational ``rate function" representation.

     

Simple theoretical analysis of the thermoelectric power in quantum dot superlattices of non-parabolic heavily doped semiconductors with graded interfaces under strong magnetic field

We study theoretically the thermoelectric power in the presence of a large magnetic field (TPM) in heavily doped III–V, II–VI, PbTe/PbSnTe, strained layer and HgTe/CdTe quantum dot superlattices (QDSLs) with graded structures on the basis of newly formulated electron energy spectra and compare the same with that of the constituent materials. It has been found, taking heavily doped GaAs/Ga_1−xAl_xAs, CdS/CdTe, PbTe/PbSnTe, InAs/GaSb and HgTe/CdTe QDSLs as examples, that the TPM increases with increasing inverse electron concentration and film thickness, respectively, in different oscillatory manners and the nature of oscillations is totally band structure dependent. We have also suggested the experimental methods of determining the Einstein relation for the diffusivity–mobility ratio, the Debye screening length and the electronic contribution to the elastic constants for materials having arbitrary dispersion laws.     

The rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows

This study introduces a rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem involving large containers that accumulate huge amounts of garbage at construction sites and shopping districts. In this problem, tractors move one container at a time between customer locations, a depot, disposal facilities, and container storage yards. The complicated constraints discussed in this study arise from having multiple disposal facilities, multiple container storage yards, seven service types of customer demands, different time windows for customer demands and facilities, various types and sizes of containers, and the lunch break of tractor drivers. In addition, real-world issues, such as changing service types, multiple demands at a customer’s location, and tractors with different work schedules, are dealt with. This study proposes a large neighborhood search based iterative heuristic approach consisting of several algorithms for the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated by computational experiments using benchmark data, some instances of which are derived from real-world problems.     

Subgrid-scale contributions to Lagrangian time correlations in isotropic turbulence

The application of large-eddy simulation （LES） to particle-laden turbulence raises such a fundamental question as whether the LES with a subgrid scale （SGS） model can correctly predict Lagrangian time correlations （LTCs）. Most of the currently existing SGS models are constructed based on the energy budget equations. Therefore, they are able to correctly predict energy spectra, but they may not ensure the correct prediction on the LTCs. Previous researches investigated the effect of the SGS modeling on the Eulerian time correlations. This paper is devoted to study the LTCs in LES. A direct numerical simulation （DNS） and the LES with a spectral eddy viscosity model are performed for isotropic turbulence and the LTCs are calculated using the passive vector method. Both a priori and a posteriori tests are carried out. It is observed that the subgrid;scale contributions to the LTCs cannot be simply ignored and the LES overpredicts the LTCs than the DNS. It is concluded from the straining hypothesis that an accurate prediction of enstrophy spectra is most critical to the prediction of the LTCs.
