A Model for Spacetime: The Role of Interpretation in Some Grothendieck Topoi

We analyse the proposition that the spacetime structure is modified at short distances or at high energies due to weakening of classical logic. The logic assigned to the regions of spacetime is intuitionistic logic of some topoi. Several cases of special topoi are considered. The quantum mechanical effects can be generated by such semi-classical spacetimes. The issues of: background independence and general relativity covariance, field theoretic renormalization of divergent expressions, the existence and definition of path integral measures, are briefly discussed in the proposal. The connection with some problems in foundations of mathematics and differential topology are also discussed.     

基于超二次曲面的颗粒材料缓冲性能离散元分析

自然界或工业中普遍是由非球形颗粒组成的复杂体系,与球形颗粒相比,非球形颗粒间的高离散和咬合互锁可使冲击载荷引起的能量有效衰减实现缓冲作用.基于连续函数包络的超二次曲面单元能准确地描述非球形颗粒的几何形态,并可精确地计算单元间的接触碰撞作用.本文采用离散元方法对冲击载荷作用下非球形颗粒物质的缓冲性能进行数值分析,并与圆柱体冲击的理论结果和球体冲击的实验结果进行对比验证.在此基础之上,进一步研究了筒底作用力在不同颗粒层厚度和形状等因素影响下的变化规律.计算结果表明:不同颗粒形状都存在一个临界厚度H_c.当HH_c时,缓冲率随H的增加而增加;当HH_c时,缓冲率的变化不再显著并趋于稳定值.此外,减小颗粒表面尖锐度和增加或减小圆柱形和长方形颗粒的长宽比都会提高颗粒材料的缓冲效果.     

Cost‐efficient monitoring of continuous‐time stochastic processes based on discrete observations

Planning a cost‐efficient monitoring policy of stochastic processes arises from many industrial problems. We formulate a simple discrete‐time monitoring problem of continuous‐time stochastic processes with its applications to several industrial problems. A key in our model is a doubling trick of the variables, with which we can construct an algorithm to solve the problem. The cost‐efficient monitoring policy balancing between the observation cost and information loss is governed by an optimality equation of a fixed point type, which is solvable with an iterative algorithm based on the Feynman‐Kac formula. This is a new linkage between monitoring problems and mathematical sciences. We show regularity results of the optimization problem and present a numerical algorithm for its approximation. A problem having model ambiguity is presented as well. The presented model is applied to problems of environment, ecology, and energy, having qualitatively different target stochastic processes with each other.

离散可激发介质中早期后去极化对螺旋波影响的数值研究

通过考虑某些不应态也可以被激发,在离散可激发介质Greenberg-Hasting模型中引入早期后去极化行为,研究了早期后去极化对螺旋波的影响.数值结果表明:在适当选择参数下,早期后去极化对螺旋波有很大影响,这些影响包括使螺旋波漫游、漂移和破碎,导致螺旋波波纹被扭曲和波臂粗细交替变化,以及导致螺旋波的周期在两个值之间交替变化,产生从稳定螺旋波到呼吸螺旋波和反螺旋波的相变等.当不应态的激发阈值很高时,早期后去极化对螺旋波没有影响.对发生上述现象作了简要的讨论. 关键词： 离散可激发介质 螺旋波 早期后去极化

On a new class of multiplicative pseudo-random number generators

In the computing literature, there are few detailed analytical studies of the global statistical characteristics of a class of multiplicative pseudo-random number generators.We comment briefly on normal numbers and study analytically the approximately uniform discrete distribution or (j,)-normality in the sense of Besicovitch for complete periods of fractional parts {x _{0 1} ⁱ /p} on [0, 1] fori=0, 1,..., (p–1)p^–1–1, i.e. in current terminology, generators given byx _{n+1 1} x _n mod p wheren=0, 1,..., (p–1)p ^–1–1,p is any odd prime, (x ₀,p)=1, ₁ is a primitive root modp ², and 1 is any positive integer.We derive the expectationsE(X, ),E(X ², ),E(X _nX_n+k); the varianceV(X, ), and the serial correlation coefficient k. By means of Dedekind sums and some results of H. Rademacher, we investigate the asymptotic properties of k for various lagsk and integers 1 and give numerical illustrations. For the frequently used case =1, we find comparable results to estimates of Coveyou and Jansson as well as a mathematical demonstration of a so-called rule of thumb related to the choice of ₁ for small k.Due to the number of parameters in this class of generators, it may be possible to obtain increased control over the statistical behavior of these pseudo-random sequences both analytically as well as computationally.     

爱因斯坦引力场Arnowitt-Deser-Misner约束方程的两种推导方法

给出两种不同方法,分别导出爱因斯坦引力理论中著名的Arnowitt-Deser-Misner(ADM)约束方程.其一是在具有洛伦兹号差的时空中,构造一个单参数引力场作用量,由此导出单参数ADM约束方程.该参数取某特定值时对应的就是熟知的ADM约束方程.其二是将二重复函数理论运用于爱因斯坦引力场的哈密顿形式表述中,得到引力场ADM约束的二重化形式,从而也能将通常的ADM约束作为其特殊情况包含其中.此外,这两种方法还能统一地表述具有不同时空号差(洛伦兹号差和欧几里得号差)的洛伦兹引力理论和欧几里得引力理论 关键词： Arnowitt-Deser-Misner约束方程 哈密顿表述 时空号差 引力场作用量     

Superconvergence of the iterated collocation methods for Hammerstein equations

In this paper, we analyse the iterated collocation method for Hammerstein equations with smooth and weakly singular kernels. The paper expands the study which began in [16] concerning the superconvergence of the iterated Galerkin method for Hammerstein equations. We obtain in this paper a similar superconvergence result for the iterated collocation method for Hammerstein equations. We also discuss the discrete collocation method for weakly singular Hammerstein equations. Some discrete collocation methods for Hammerstein equations with smooth kernels were given previously in [3, 18].
