A unifying local-semilocal convergence analysis and applications for two-point Newton-like methods in Banach space

We provide a local as well as a semilocal convergence analysis for two-point Newton-like methods in a Banach space setting under very general Lipschitz type conditions. Our equation contains a Fréchet differentiable operator F and another operator G whose differentiability is not assumed. Using more precise majorizing sequences than before we provide sufficient convergence conditions for Newton-like methods to a locally unique solution of equation F(x)+G(x)=0. In the semilocal case we show under weaker conditions that our error estimates on the distances involved are finer and the information on the location of the solution at least as precise as in earlier results. In the local case a larger radius of convergence is obtained. Several numerical examples are provided to show that our results compare favorably with earlier ones. As a special case we show that the famous Newton-Kantorovich hypothesis is weakened under the same hypotheses as the ones contained in the Newton-Kantorovich theorem.     

Time saving fluid dynamic predictions in a wetting-drying process: A hypothesis for vertisols

This paper is aimed at investigating the effect of the initial water content in a vertisol sample on the whole wetting-drying process leading the system to a change in volume. In order to do this, an experimental setup was realized and employed with very thin soil layers wetted from below (“per ascensum”). The results show that the effect of the initial water content on the swelling-shrinkage process is to shift the corresponding curve e-ϑ towards bigger-smaller values of the humidity but does not seem to affect the dynamics of the process. The text was submitted by the authors in English.

Norms and perfect graphs

The weak Berge hypothesis states that a graph is perfect if and only if its complement is perfect. Previous proofs of this hypothesis have used combinatorial or polyhedral methods.In this paper, the concept of norms related to graphs is used to provide an alternative proof for the weak Berge hypothesis.This is a written account of an invited lecture delivered by the second author on occasion of the 12. Symposium on Operations Research, Passau, 9.–11. 9. 1987.     

The Pharmacophore Hypothesis of Novel Inhibitors for Aurora A Kinase

A three-dimensional pharmacophore model was developed from a series of inhibitors of Aurora A kinase to discover new potent anti-cancer agents using the HypoGen module in the Catalyst software. The pharmacophore model was developed based on the structure of 20 currently available inhibitors, which were carefully selected from the literature. The best hypothesis （Hypo 1） was defined by four features： one hydrogen-bond donor and three hy- drophobic points, with the best correlation coefficient of 0.909, the lowest rms deviation of 1.563, and the highest cost difference of 99.075. The Hypo 1 was then validated by a test set consisting of 24 compounds and by a cross-validation of 95% confidence level through randomizing the data using the CatScramble program, which suggested that a predictive pharmacophore model had been successfully obtained.     

Some Comments on the Matter Wave-light Wave Hypothesis

From the de Broglie matter wave hypothesis and Planck’s energy quantization law, and assuming conservation of energy in the absorption of a photon and its consequent conversion to kinetic energy of motion by a material particle initially at rest, one can deduce a simple mathematical relationship between the wavelength λ (or frequency ν), of the photon absorbed by the particle at rest, and the resulting de Broglie matter wave length, λ_D, of the particle with kinetic energy of motion of mv²/2. The relationship so deduced, λ_D∝√λ, suggests that visible wavelengths of light, from about 4000 ?, in the violet, to beyond about 7000 ?, in the red, on absorption by an electron at rest, lead to material electron wavelengths, λ_D, of the order of the size of the electron transfer proteins seen in the photosynthetic reaction centers of photosynthesizing organisms, at about a size of 50–100 ?. In addition to understanding the mechanism of photosynthesis as a material wave mediated phenomenon, further areas of importance of the relations pointed out in this paper are in the design of experiments to gain a deeper understanding of the basic tenets of wave mechanics, and in the use of tunable lasers to probe various properties of material waves, and to precisely control their properties for applications including lithography.     

改进位姿估计环节的ORB-SLAM稠密建图算法

为了提高ORB-SLAM2系统的位姿估计精度并解决仅能生成稀疏地图的问题,提出了一种融合ICP算法与曼哈顿世界假说的位姿估计策略并在ORB-SLAM2系统中加入稠密建图线程来实现稠密建图。首先通过ORB特征点法、LSD算法和AHC方法进行点、线、面特征的提取,其中点、线特征跟上一帧匹配,面特征在全局地图中匹配。然后采用基于surfel的稠密建图策略将图像划分为非平面与平面区域,非平面采用ICP算法计算位姿,平面则通过面与面的正交关系确定曼哈顿世界从而使用不同的位姿估计策略,其中曼哈顿世界场景通过位姿解耦实现基于曼哈顿帧观测的无漂移旋转估计,而曼哈顿世界场景下的平移以及非曼哈顿世界场景位姿采用追踪的点、线、面特征进行估计和优化;最后根据关键帧和相应位姿实现稠密建图。采用TUM数据集对所提建图方法进行验证,实验结果与ORB-SLAM2算法比较,最终均方根误差RMSE平均减少0.24cm,平均定位精度提高7.17%,验证了所提方法进行稠密建图的可行性和有效性。     

Thermodynamics of formation of nitrogen bases and d-ribose from mineral substances in light of the problem of origination of simplest elements of living matter

The paper represents a further development of our hydrate hypothesis of simplest living matter origination (SLMO) from inorganic and simplest organic mineral substances. It is supposed that the sources of SLMO are simplest aliphatic hydrocarbons, niters, and phosphates. Thermodynamic calculations demonstrating a principal possibility for simultaneous syntheses of different nitrogen bases, d-ribose, and desoxy-d-ribose from these source substances are presented. The most probable principal mechanism of SLMO and the principal conditions necessary for realization of the proposed chemism of SLMO in the framework of the proposed mechanism are considered. A principal means for testing the hypothesis is proposed.
