Addendum and Corrigendum to "Local Saturation of Conservative Operators'

In this note we make a correction in the paper [1] by two of the authors. Specifically we modify an auxiliary localization result and prove that the applications to the saturation theory of some outstanding conservative operators remain valid. Moreover, we enrich a corollary dealing with the well-known Szász-Mirakjan operators. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Low‐gain adaptive stabilization of semilinear second‐order hyperbolic systems

In this paper low‐gain adaptive stabilization of undamped semilinear second‐order hyperbolic systems is considered in the case where the input and output operators are collocated. The linearized systems have an infinite number of poles and zeros on the imaginary axis. The adaptive stabilizer is constructed by a low‐gain adaptive velocity feedback. The closed‐loop system is governed by a non‐linear evolution equation. First, the well‐posedness of the closed‐loop system is shown. Next, an energy‐like function and a multiplier function are introduced and the exponential stability of the closed‐loop system is analysed. Some examples are given to illustrate the theory.

Perpendicular Dissections of Space

For each pair (Q _i ,Q _j ) of reference points and each real number r there is a unique hyperplane h \perp Q _i Q _j such that d(P,Q _i ) ² - d(P,Q _j ) ² = r for points P in h . Take n reference points in d -space and for each pair (Q _i ,Q _j ) a finite set of real numbers. The corresponding perpendiculars form an arrangement of hyperplanes. We explore the structure of the semilattice of intersections of the hyperplanes for generic reference points. The main theorem is that there is a real, additive gain graph (this is a graph with an additive real number associated invertibly to each edge) whose set of balanced flats has the same structure as the intersection semilattice. We examine the requirements for genericity, which are related to behavior at infinity but remain mysterious; also, variations in the construction rules for perpendiculars. We investigate several particular arrangements with a view to finding the exact numbers of faces of each dimension. The prototype, the arrangement of all perpendicular bisectors, was studied by Good and Tideman, motivated by a geometric voting theory. Most of our particular examples are suggested by extensions of that theory in which voters exercise finer discrimination. Throughout, we propose many research problems.

不确定离散时间输入饱和系统的鲁棒预见控制

本文研究一类具有输入饱和的不确定离散时间系统的鲁棒预见控制问题.与以往对误差信号和系统方程取差分不同,本文引入状态辅助变量,利用系统状态向量与辅助变量之差代替通常的状态差分,使得输入饱和不确定离散系统的扩大误差系统的构造成为可能.另外,本文推导的扩大误差系统不再包含误差向量,这不仅降低系统的阶数而且允许输出矩阵带有不确...     

Regular saturated graphs and sum-free sets

In a recent paper, Gerbner, Patkós, Tuza and Vizer studied regular F-saturated graphs. One of the essential questions is given F, for which n does a regular n-vertex F-saturated graph exist. They proved that for all sufficiently large n, there is a regular $K_3$-saturated graph with n vertices. We extend this result to both $K_4$ and $K_5$ and prove some partial results for larger complete graphs. Using a variation of sum-free sets from additive combinatorics, we prove that for all $k\ge 2$, there is a regular $C_{2k+1}$-saturated with n vertices for infinitely many n. Studying the sum-free sets that give rise to $C_{2k+1}$-saturated graphs is an interesting problem on its own and we state an open problem in this direction.     

Method of Probabilistic Convolutions for Interpreting Data of Electromagnetic Logging

A new method is proposed for processing the data of electromagnetic logging in wells. The method is based on the hydrodynamic analysis of drilling mud filtrate penetration into the oil stratum, determination of the field of electrical resistances of the near-well zone with its subsequent averaging by convolutions with a kernel in the form of a logarithmically normal distribution of probe sensitivity.     

Hydrodynamic Model for the Evolution of an Invaded Zone in Borehole Drilling

The evolution of an invaded zone during borehole drilling in water- and oil-saturated sand formations is studied by mathematical modeling of hydrodynamic processes in porous media filled with a two-component fluid. The use of hydrodynamic modeling to interpret high-frequency electromagnetic logs makes it possible to construct consistent geoelectric and hydrodynamic models for formations with different fluid saturations. The results obtained are in good agreement with geological and geophysical data.     

Pressure broadening by argon in the hyperfine resolved P(10) and P(70) (17,1) transitions of I2 XΣ(0g)→BΠ(0u) using sub-Doppler laser saturation spectroscopy

The dependence of pressure broadening upon hyperfine component in the P(10) and P(70) lines of the (17,1) band of the I₂ X¹Σ(0_g⁺)→B³Π(0_u⁺) has been studied using laser saturation spectroscopy. By limiting absorption to the zero velocity group, Doppler broadening is removed, lineshapes with widths (FWHM) <9 MHz are detectable, and collision-induced broadening is measured at pressures of 0.2-1.2 Torr. The rates for broadening by argon are 8.3±0.3 and 10.7±0.4 MHz/Torr for the P(70) and P(10) lines, respectively. No significant variation in broadening rates is observed for the 15 hyperfine components of these even rotational lines. The effects of velocity cross-relaxation introduce a broad baseline into the spectra, which is strongly dependent on rotational state, pressure, and laser modulation frequency. The observed broadening rates correlate well with prior measurements and the polarizability of the collision partner.
