Proper Efficiency in Vector Optimization on Real Linear Spaces

In this paper, we use an algebraic type of closure, which is called vector closure, and through it we introduce some adaptations to the proper efficiency in the sense of Hurwicz, Benson, and Borwein in real linear spaces without any particular topology. Scalarization, multiplier rules, and saddle-point theorems are obtained in order to characterize the proper efficiency in vector optimization with and without constraints. The usual convexlikeness concepts used in such theorems are weakened through the vector closure.     

Rheological properties of polyacrylates used as synthetic road binders

Most adhesives and binders, including bitumen for asphalt mixture production, are presently produced from petrochemicals after the refining of crude oil. The fact that crude oil reserves are a finite resource means that in the future, it may become necessary to produce these materials from alternative and probably renewable sources. Suitable resources of this kind may include polysaccharides, plant oils and proteins. This paper deals with the synthesis of polymer binders from monomers that could, in future, be derived from renewable resources. These binders consist of polyethyl acrylate (PEA) of different molecular weight, polymethyl acrylate (PMA) and polybutyl acrylate (PBA), which were synthesised from ethyl acrylate, methyl acrylate and butyl acrylate, respectively, by atom transfer radical polymerisation. The rheological properties of these binders were determined by means of oscillatory testing using a dynamic shear rheometer and combinations of stress/strain, temperature and frequency sweeps. The results indicate that PEA can be produced to have rheological properties similar to that of ‘soft’ 100/150 penetration grade bitumen, PMA with similar rheological properties to that of ‘hard’ 10/20 penetration grade bitumen, while PBA, due to its highly viscous nature and low dynamic moduli, cannot be used on its own as a binder. The synthetic polymers were found to be thermo-rheologically simple, and the shift factors, used to produce the dynamic moduli master curves, were found to fit an Arrhenius function.     

Algebraic and Differential Nonlinear Superposition Formulas

Knowledge of the Lax pair and the Darboux transformation for a completely integrable system provides an iterative approach for generating exact solutions. This approach involves solving for the eigenfunction of the Lax pair at each step. But this process can be considerably simplified using the Bäcklund transformation and Bianchi's permutability theorem. This allows constructing the so-called nonlinear superposition formula, which provides a new solution of the system in terms of three previous solutions. The advantage of this approach is that the differential order of the nonlinear superposition formulas is lower than that of the Lax pairs, and in some cases, these formulas reduce to algebraic equations. We consider the construction of new nonlinear superposition formulas in the form of both differential equations and algebraic equations.     

Preparation of Papers

We motivate the study of a vector variational inequality by a practical flow equilibrium problem on a network, namely a generalization of the well-known Wardrop equilibrium principle. Both weak and strong forms of the vector variational inequality are discussed and their relationships to a vector optimization problem are established under various convexity assumptions.     

第Ⅰ种强度不对称三态叠加多模叠加态光场N次方Y压缩—第一正交相位分量的压缩情况

根据量子力学中的线性叠加原理,构造了由三个强度不等的多模相干态光场|{Z_j^(A)}>_q、|{Z_j^(B)}>_q和|{Z_j^(C)}>_q的线性叠加所组成的第Ⅰ种强度不对称三态叠加多模叠加态光场|ψ_l^(ABC)>_q.利用多模压缩态理论,研究了态|ψ_l^(ABC)>_q的第一正交方分量(即磁场分量)的广义非线性等幂次N次方Y压缩特性.结果发现:①在上述各多模相干态光场中各模的强度和各模的初始相位各不相等的情况下,态|ψ_l^(ABC)>_q的第一正交分量-磁场分量在一定的条件下,总可呈现出周期性变化的、任意等幂次的N次方Y压缩效应;②当上述各多模相干态光场的强度和各模的初始相位相等时,态|ψ_l^(ABC)>_q的磁场分量的N次方Y压缩现象消失,态|ψ_l^(ABC)>_q可恒处于等幂次N-Y最小测不准态.     

Scalarization for pointwise well-posed vectorial problems

The aim of this paper is to develop a method of study of Tykhonov well-posedness notions for vector valued problems using a class of scalar problems. Having a vectorial problem, the scalarization technique we use allows us to construct a class of scalar problems whose well-posedness properties are equivalent with the most known well-posedness properties of the original problem. Then a well-posedness property of a quasiconvex level-closed problem is derived.      

Contingent epiderivatives and set-valued optimization

In this paper we introduce the concept of the contingent epiderivative for a set-valued map which modifies a notion introduced by Aubin [2] as upper contingent derivative. It is shown that this kind of a derivative has important properties and is one possible generalization of directional derivatives in the single-valued convex case. For optimization problems with a set-valued objective function optimality conditions based on the concept of the contingent epiderivative are proved which are necessary and sufficient under suitable assumptions.

QSAR modeling with the electrotopological state indices: Corticosteroids

A structure-activity analysis of a series of steroids binding to corticosteroid-binding globulin was made using the electrotopological state index for each atom in the molecule. Two indices were found to correlate well with the binding affinity. The indices encode structural characteristics in the A and the D rings of the steroids in the study. One of the indices was formulated as the difference between two indices in the A ring. The two were not intercorrelated, suggesting that the composite index signals the influence of structure changes in or near the A ring that can be monitored by the composite index. This is a new observation using this structure-activity method. It is suggested that this model makes some contributions towards detection of the pharmacophore.
