Ab initio study of the electronic structures and conduction properties of some novel low band-gap donor-acceptor polymers

The results of the electronic structures and conduction properties of four novel donor-acceptor polymers based on polysilole, obtained on the basis of ab initio Hartree-Fock crystal orbital method using their optimized geometries, are reported. The repeat unit of these polymers consists of bicyclopentadisilole unit bridged by an electron-accepting group Y(Y=CCH₂ in PSICH, CO in PSICF, CCF₂ and CC(CN)₂ in PSICN). All the polymers on the basis of their geometries and π-bond order values are found to have benzenoid-type electronic structures. Comparison of the important electronic properties such as ionization potential, electron affinity and band-gap of these polymers indicates PSICN to be the best candidate for intrinsic conductivity and reductive (n-) doping while PSICH is predicted to be the best candidate for oxidative (p-) doping. All these polymers are estimated to have band-gap values ranging between 1 and 2 eV. The low band-gap values of these polymers are rationalised on the basis of the patterns of their frontier orbitals.     

Conservation Laws of K(m, n) and mK(m, n) Equations

Based on the rank analysis method, algorithmization idea, and symbolic computation, in this paper we have presented a method to construct the conservation laws for nonlinear evolution equations. The polynomial conservation laws for K (n 2, n) equations and mnK(m, n) equations are found by using of this approach and some new results have been obtained.

Modeling film flows down inclined planes

A new model of film flow down an inclined plane is derived by a method combining results of the classical long wavelength expansion to a weighted-residuals technique. It can be expressed as a set of three coupled evolution equations for three slowly varying fields, the thickness h, the flow-rate q, and a new variable that measures the departure of the wall shear from the shear predicted by a parabolic velocity profile. Results of a preliminary study are in good agreement with theoretical asymptotic properties close to the instability threshold, laboratory experiments beyond threshold and numerical simulations of the full Navier-Stokes equations.

Non-trivial simple poles at negative integers and mass concentration at singularity

Let (X,0) be the germ of a normal space of dimension n+1 and let f be the germ at 0 of a holomorphic function on X. Assume both X and f have an isolated singularity at 0. Denote by J the image of the restriction map , where F is the Milnor fibre of f at 0. We prove that the canonical Hermitian form on , given by poles of order at in the meromorphic extension of , passes to the quotient by J and is non-degenerate on . We show that any non-zero element in J produces a “mass concentration” at the singularity which is related to a simple pole concentrated at for (in a non-na?ve sense). We conclude with an application to the asymptotic expansion of oscillatory integrals , for , when . Received: 28 May 2001 / Published online: 26 April 2002     

Smooth Solutions to Optimal Investment Models with Stochastic Volatilities and Portfolio Constraints

   Abstract. This paper deals with an extension of Merton's optimal investment problem to a multidimensional model with stochastic volatility and portfolio constraints. The classical dynamic programming approach leads to a characterization of the value function as a viscosity solution of the highly nonlinear associated Bellman equation. A logarithmic transformation expresses the value function in terms of the solution to a semilinear parabolic equation with quadratic growth on the derivative term. Using a stochastic control representation and some approximations, we prove the existence of a smooth solution to this semilinear equation. An optimal portfolio is shown to exist, and is expressed in terms of the classical solution to this semilinear equation. This reduction is useful for studying numerical schemes for both the value function and the optimal portfolio. We illustrate our results with several examples of stochastic volatility models popular in the financial literature.     

Spectral Properties of Image Measures Under the Infinite Conflict Interaction

We introduce the conflict interaction with two positions between a couple of image probability measures and consider the associated dynamical system. We prove the existence of invariant limiting measures and find the criteria for these measures to be a pure point, absolutely continuous, or singular cotinuous as well as to have any topological type and arbitary Hausdorff dimension.     

The k-means range algorithm for personalized data clustering in e-commerce

This paper describes the k-means range algorithm, a combination of the partitional k-means clustering algorithm with a well known spatial data structure, namely the range tree, which allows fast range searches. It offers a real-time solution for the development of distributed interactive decision aids in e-commerce since it allows the consumer to model his preferences along multiple dimensions, search for product information, and then produce the data clusters of the products retrieved to enhance his purchase decisions. This paper also discusses the implications and advantages of this approach in the development of on-line shopping environments and consumer decision aids in traditional and mobile e-commerce applications.

Stable hysteretic reflection of light at a nonlinear interface

We have observed a hysteretic (bistable) reflection of a Gaussian laser beam at the interface between glass and a liquid solution of polystyrene microspheres as nonlinear medium with both branches of the hysteretic curve being stable, in contrast to the results of previous experiments.
