Convergence of an augmented Lagrange algorithm for nonlinear optimizations with second-order cone constraints

An augmented Lagrange algorithm for nonlinear optimizations with second-order cone constraints is proposed based on a Löwner operator associated with a potential function for the optimization problems with inequality constraints. The favorable properties of both the Löwner operator and the corresponding augmented Lagrangian are discussed. And under some mild assumptions, the rate of convergence of the augmented Lagrange algorithm is studied in detail.

Quantum mechanics versus realism

Quantum theory accepts the point-like indivisible (classical) character of a particle as a mere product of a measuring process, or what has become known as a collapse. Following the notion of empty waves, which accepts the particle as a real existent entity without regard to the measurement process, we propose an experiment that may shed some light on the reality of the particle and the consequences of that reality.

二元化合物内聚能的线性化缀加平面波能带方法的计算研究

采用线性化缀加平面波能带方法,研究了典型二元化合物NiAl,SiC,GaAs,MgS和NaCl的晶体总能和内聚能,着重考查了二元素Muffin-tin半径的选取对各晶体总能和内聚能的影响。计算结果表明,对NiAl合金,Muffin-tin半径的变动几乎不改变其晶体总能;组元原子的共价键半径可以作为共价键晶体如SiC和GaAs的Muffin-tin半径;但是,元素的离子半径不适合于作为具有较强离子键合的离子性晶体如MgS和NaCl的Muffin-tin半径,因为这时阳离子有较多的芯电子溢出Muffin-tin球。通过选取适当的Muffin-tin半径,对如上化合物计算得到的内聚能与实验结果符合。     

Open Augmented Reality Standards： Current Activities in Standards- Development Organizations

Augmented reality (AR) has emerged from research laboratories and is now being accepted in other domains as an attractive way of visualizing information.Before AR can be used in the mass market,there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome.Several of these can be overcome by adopting open standards.A global grassroots community seeking open,interoperable AR content and experiences began to take shape in early 2010.This community is working collaboratively to reduce the barriers to the flow of data from content provider to AR end user.Standards development organizations and industry groups that provide open interfaces for AR meet regularly to provide updates,identify complementary work,and seek harmonization.The community also identifies deployer and implementer needs,communicates requirements,and discusses emerging challenges that could be resolved with standards.In this article,we describe current activities in international standards-development organizations.We summarize the AR standards gap analysis and shed light on special considerations for using standards in mobile AR.     

Empirical study on Game Transfer Phenomena in a location-based augmented reality game

Research on Game Transfer Phenomena (GTP) has demonstrated that playing video games can lead to re-experiencing images, sounds, tactile sensations, spontaneous thoughts and actions, sometimes triggered by physical objects/events associated with the game. Location-based augmented reality games posit interesting questions regarding GTP, particularly because they use physical locations, they overlay digital images in physical contexts and the gameplay shifts between the virtual and the physical world. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of GTP and the role of immersion, augmented reality and sound in a sample of English- (EnS) and Spanish- (SpS) speaking gamers of the game Pokémon Go (PoGo). A total of 1313 gamers (M_age?=?31.47) were recruited online. GTP was less common than in previous studies; however, 82.4% had experienced GTP at least once. The SpS showed higher prevalence of GTP and played more intensively. Automatic mental processes predominated in the EnS, while behaviours and actions were more common in the SpS. The absence or presence of video game features seems important for the way GTP manifests. For instance, tactile hallucinations were more prevalent, while sensations of self-motion were less reported. Playing with augmented reality (AR) and sounds showed significant correlations with various GTP types, but not with re-experiencing images from the game. More gamers who reported the sensation that Pokémon were physically present or looked for Pokémon outside the screen while playing, as connotations of immersion, had experienced GTP. Experiencing GTP while playing may be more common in location-based augmented reality games, compared to other games.     

Parallel Calculation of Accurate Path Lines in Virtual Environments through Exploitation of Multi-Block CFD Data Set Topology

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) techniques for the investigation of complex flow phenomena offers distinct advantages in comparison to conventional visualization techniques. Especially for unsteady flows, VR methodology provides an intuitive approach for the exploration of simulated fluid flows. However, the visualization of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) data is often too time-consuming to be carried out in real-time, and thus violates essential constraints concerning real-time interaction and visualization. To overcome this obstacle, we make use of the fact that typically a multi-block approach is employed for domain decomposition, and we use the corresponding data structures for the computation of path lines and for parallelization. In this paper, we present the synthesis of fragmented multi-block data sets and our implementation of an accurate path line integration scheme in order to speed up path line computations. We report on the results of our efforts and describe a combination of this algorithm with a highly efficient visualization approach of large amounts of particle traces, thus considerably improving interactivity when exploring large scale CFD data sets.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 76Mxx, 76M27, 76M28, 65M55, 65L05, 65L06, 65D05, 65Y05, 68U05.     

Solution of periodic Poisson's equation and the Hartree–Fock approach for solids with extended electron states: Application to linear augmented plane wave method

We formulate a Hartree–Fock‐LAPW method for electronic band structure calculations. The method is based on the Hartree–Fock–Roothaan approach for solids with extended electron states and closed core shells where the basis functions of itinerant electrons are linear augmented plane waves. All interactions within the restricted Hartree–Fock approach are analyzed and in principle can be taken into account. In particular, we obtained the matrix elements for the exchange interactions of extended states and the crystal electric field effects. To calculate the matrix elements of exchange for extended states, we first introduce an auxiliary potential and then integrate it with an effective charge density corresponding to the electron exchange transition under consideration. The problem of finding the auxiliary potential is solved by using the strategy of the full potential LAPW approach, which is based on the general solution of periodic Poisson's equation. Here, we use an original technique for the general solution of periodic Poisson's equation and multipole expansions of electron densities. We apply the technique to obtain periodic potentials of the face‐centered cubic lattice and discuss its accuracy and convergence in comparison with other methods. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
