On a Polynomial Fractional Formulation for Independence Number of a Graph

In this paper we characterize the local maxima of a continuous global optimization formulation for finding the independence number of a graph. Classical Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and simple combinatorial arguments are found sufficient to deduce several interesting properties of the local and global maxima. These properties can be utilized in developing new approaches to the maximum independent set problem.     

2,3,4,5,6‐Penta­nitro­aniline 1,2‐dichloro­ethane disolvate: `push–pull' deformation of aromatic rings by intra­molecular charge transfer

The title compound, C₆H₂N₆O₁₀·2C₂H₄Cl₂, forms layered stacks of penta­nitro­aniline mol­ecules, which possess twofold symmetry. The voids between these stacks are occupied by dichloro­ethane mol­ecules, which reside near a 2/m symmetry element and display pseudo‐inversion symmetry. The C atoms in one of the two solvent mol­ecules are threefold disordered. In the penta­nitro­aniline mol­ecule, considerable distortion of the benzenoid ring, coupled with the short C—N(H₂) bond and out‐of‐plane NO₂ twistings, point to significant intra­molecular `push–pull' charge transfer at the amino‐ and nitro‐substituted (ortho and para) positions, as theoretically quantified by natural bond orbital analysis of the π‐electron density.     

An algorithm for the single-input partial pole assignment problem

An algorithm for translating unstable eigenvalues of single-input partial pole assignment problems based on rank-one transformations is suggested. Special attention is paid to the practical case where translations are constructed using inexact spectral information provided by the Arnoldi procedure. Estimates of the resulting perturbations of stable and translated poles are derived. These estimates depend on the accuracy of spectral information about the unstable poles. The algorithm proposed is illustrated with numerical examples. Bibliography: 11 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 229, 1995, pp. 5–28. Translated by A. Yu. Yeremin.

Two-level structured self-adaptive surfaces with reversibly tunable properties

We report a route to fabricate two-level structured self-adaptive surfaces (SAS) of polymer materials. The first level of structure is built by a rough polymer film that consists of needlelike structures of micrometer size. The second level of structure is formed by the nanoscopic self-assembled domains of a demixed polymer brush irreversibly grafted onto the needles. By exposing the surface to solvents that are selective to one of the components of the brush, we reversibly tune the surface properties. The large-scale surface structure amplifies the response and enables us to control wettability, adhesion, and chemical composition of the surface over a wide range.     

Role of the 3d orbitals of sulfur in the thiapyrylium cation

The electronic structure of the thiapyrylium cation with allowance for and neglect of the 3d orbitals of sulfur was investigated by the self-consistent field MO LCAO method within the CNDO/2 (complete neglect of differential overlap) approximation. Inclusion of the 3d AO of sulfur in the basis leads to slight redistribution of the electron density to favor equalization of the charges on the carbon atoms. A qualitative correlation of the calculated populations of the atoms with the chemical shifts of the PMR spectrum of the thiapyrylium cation was obtained.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1627–1629, December, 1976.     

Thiapyrylium salts (review)

The literature data touching upon the synthesis of thiapyrylium salts and the stability of the thiapyrylium cation as compared with its isoelectronic analogs, as well as the nucleophilic, oxidation, anion-exchange, and other reactions of the salts with substituted and unsubstituted thiapyrylium cations are examined in this review.
