工程施工中的SRTP问题研究

在大型的建设工程项目中，经常要进行场地平整工作。场地平整过程中需要进行大量的施工材料的调运工作，这引出了一个最短路径调运问题（SRTP），目标是找到一个最短的车辆行走路线，使得整个施工过程的总运输距离最短。该问题属于NP-hard问题，本文采用模拟退火算法求解该问题，最后通过箅例计算，并同贪婪算法的求解结果进行比较，验证了模拟退火算法的高效性。     

On an Extended Lagrange Claim

Lagrange once made a claim having the consequence that a smooth function f has a local minimum at a point if all the directional derivatives of f at that point are nonnegative. That the Lagrange claim is wrong was shown by a counterexample given by Peano. In this note, we show that an extended claim of Lagrange is right. We show that, if all the lower directional derivatives of a locally Lipschitz function f at a point are positive, then f has a strict minimum at that point.     

High efficiency filtering using two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled cavity structures

Transmission spectra of coupled cavity structures (CCSs) in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) are investigated using a coupled mode theory, and an optical filter based on CCS is proposed. The performance of the filter is investigated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and the results show that within a very short coupling distance of about 3λ, where λ is the wavelength of signal in vacuum, the incident signals with different frequencies are separated into different channels with a contrast ratio of 20 dB. The advantages of this kind of filter are small size and easily tunable operation frequencies.     

Manipulation of Multi‐Level Quantum Systems via Unsharp Measurements and Feedback Operations

The recently proposed quantum control method called self‐fulfilling prophesy is investigated in multi‐level cases, based on a sequence of measurement‐feedback operations. The feedback operation is elaborately designed with respect to the eigenstates of the density matrix of the target state and its post‐measurement state. This design procedure is suitable for the generation of any predefined coherent superpositions of multiple quantum states and elicitation of desired quantum dynamics. For the sake of clearness, arbitrarily prescribed superposition states in three‐ and four‐level systems are prepared, and quantum dynamics achieved as desired. The simulation results indicate that the scheme tolerates modest imprecisions of feedback operation and is robust against sudden perturbations. Thus, the scheme enables new insight on quantum manipulations in a variety of multi‐level systems to be achieved.     

Six-Step Continuous Flow Synthesis of Diclofenac Sodium via Cascade Etherification/Smiles Rearrangement Strategy: Tackling the Issues of Batch Processing

Diclofenac sodium is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) as over-the-counter (OTC) medication for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Herein, the development of an intensified six-step continuous flow synthesis of diclofenac sodium from commercially available aniline and chloroacetic acid is described. A challenging and unprecedented etherification/Smiles rearrangement cascade of 2-chloro-N-phenylacetamide and 2,6-dichlorophenol into hydroxyacetyldiphenylamine operated with the precise control of reaction conditions in continuous flow was realized as the key step in this multistep synthetic chemistry. The undesired amide hydrolysis in Smiles rearrangement was addressed and the extra installation of N-chloroacetyl group in current industrial batch mode was avoided. Diclofenac sodium was obtained in 63 % isolated yield with an average yield of above 90 % for each step in a total residence time of 205 min.

Orbital and spectral aspects of hypercyclic operators and semigroups

In connection with the theory of hypercyclicity of bounded linear operators and strongly continuous semigroups of operators on Banach spaces, we make several observations about the following three topics – (i) special types of orbits, (ii) the role of large subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, (iii) various spectral conditions – and thereby highlight some nuances of the theory.
