On lengths of filling closed geodesics of hyperbolic punctured Riemann spheres

Let S be a Riemann sphere with n ≥ 4 points deleted. In this article we investigate certain filling closed geodesics of S and give quantitative common lower bounds for the hyperbolic lengths of those geodesics with respect to any hyperbolic structure on S (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators

In this paper we deal with the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix‐valued symbols. The aim of this paper is to provide a tractable criterion for the hyponormality of bounded‐type Toeplitz operators (i.e., the symbol is a matrix‐valued function such that Φ and are of bounded type). In particular, we get a much simpler criterion for the hyponormality of when the co‐analytic part of the symbol Φ is a left divisor of the analytic part.     

Weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions of N-th order neutral differential equations with piecewise constant arguments

In this work, we present some existence theorems of weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions for N-th order neutral differential equations with piecewise constant argument by means of weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions of relevant difference equations.     

Stability Concepts in Topological Dynamics by Nonstandard Methods

It is known that it is not possible to introduce C⁰ -structural stability for whole systems in topological dynamics. Using the methods of Nonstandard Analysis, we suggest four different purely topological stability concepts for dynamical systems on compact subsets of Rⁿ. Classically these amount to considering the space of all systems on a given subset of Rⁿ as the fundamental entity when deforming a continuous system (instead of the space of all continuous systems as is normally done in topological dynamics). For two of the introduced stability concepts, we will show that all minimal flows are stable in this sense. Besides this, we will show that one of our stability concepts is related to what is called the pseudo orbit tracing property in a recently published book by Aoki and Hiraide and compare some of our results to the theory of dynamical systems as presented there.

Unsupervised LoS/NLoS identification in mmWave communication using two-stage machine learning framework

Identification of line-of-sight (LoS)/ non-LoS (NLoS) condition in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication is important for localization and unobstructed transmission between a base station (BS) and a user. A sudden obstruction in a link between a BS and a user can result in poorly received signal strength or termination of communication. Channel features obtained by the estimation of channel state information (CSI) of a user at the BS can be used for identifying LoS/NLoS condition. With the assumption of labeled CSI, existing machine learning (ML) methods have achieved satisfactory performance for LoS/NLoS identification. However, in a real communication environment, labeled CSI is not available. In this paper, we propose a two-stage unsupervised ML based LoS/NLoS identification framework to address the lack of labeled data. We conduct experiments for the outdoor scenario by generating data from the NYUSIM simulator. We compare the performance of our method with the supervised deep neural network (SDNN) in terms of accuracy and receiver characteristic curves. The proposed framework can achieve an accuracy of 87.4% and it outperforms SDNN. Further, we compare the performance of our method with other state-of-the-art LoS/NLoS identification schemes in terms of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score.     

A New Method for Establishing Pseudo Orthogonal Properties of Eigenfunction Expansion Form in Fracture Mechanics

A new and simple method is developed to establish the pseudo orthogonal properties (POP) of the eigenfunction expansion form (EEF) of crack-tip stress complex potential functions for cracked anisotropic and piezoelectric materials, respectively. Di?erent from previous research, the complex argument separation technique is not required so that cumbersome manipulations are avoided. Moreover, it is shown, di?erent from the previous research too, that the orthogonal …     

SEISMIC RANDOM VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF LOCALLY NONLINEAR STRUCTURES

A nonlinear seismic analysis method for complex frame structures subjected to stationary random ground excitations is proposed. The nonlinear elasto-plastic behaviors may take place only on a small part of the structure. The Bouc-Wen differential equation model is used to model the hysteretic characteristics of the nonlinear components. The Pseudo Excitation Method (PEM) is used in solving the linearized random differential equations to replace the solution of the less efficient Lyapunov equation. Numerical results of a real bridge show that .the method proposed is effective for practical engineering analysis.     

Dendronized Hyperbranched Macromolecules: Soft Matter with a Novel Type of Segmental Distribution

Dendronization of a hyperbranched polyester with different generation dendrons leads to pseudo‐dendritic structures. The hyperbranched core is modified by the divergent coupling of protected monomer units to the functional groups. Compared to dendrimers, the synthetic effort is significantly less, but the properties are very close to those of high‐generation dendrimers. The number of functional groups, molar mass, and rheology behavior even in the early generation (G1–G4) pseudo‐dendrimers strongly resembles the behavior of dendrimers in higher generations (G5–G8). Comparison of the segmental and internal structure with perfect dendrimers is performed using SANS, dynamic light scattering and viscosity analysis, microscopy and molecular dynamics simulation. The interpretation of the results reveals unique structural characteristics arising from lower segmental density of the core, which turns into a soft nano‐sphere with a smooth surface even in the first generation.
