Optimal Control for Multiscale Elliptic Equations with Rough Coefficients

This paper concerns the convex optimal control problem governed by multiscale elliptic equations with arbitrarily rough $L^\infty$ coefficients, which has not only complex coupling between nonseparable scales and nonlinearity, but also important applications in composite materials and geophysics. We use one of the recently developed numerical homogenization techniques, the so-called Rough Polyharmonic Splines (RPS) and its generalization (GRPS) for the efficient resolution of the elliptic operator on the coarse scale. Those methods have optimal convergence rate which do not rely on the regularity of the coefficients nor the concepts of scale-separation or periodicity. As the iterative solution of the nonlinearly coupled OCP-OPT formulation for the optimal control problem requires solving the corresponding (state and co-state) multiscale elliptic equations many times with different right hand sides, numerical homogenization approach only requires one-time pre-computation on the fine scale and the following iterations can be done with computational cost proportional to coarse degrees of freedom. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.     

A nonautonomous predator–prey system with stage structure and double time delays

In the present paper we study a nonautonomous predator–prey model with stage structure and double time delays due to maturation time for both prey and predator. We assume that the immature and mature individuals of each species are divided by a fixed age, and the mature predator only attacks the immature prey. Based on some comparison arguments we discuss the permanence of the species. By virtue of the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we prove the existence of positive periodic solution. By means of constructing an appropriate Lyapunov functional, we obtain sufficient conditions for the uniqueness and the global stability of positive periodic solution. Two examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of our main results.     

Highly linear transmission and EVM improvement of vector modulation signals for radio-over-fiber applications

The principle of error vector magnitude (EVM) against modulator nonlinearity for vector modulation signal (VMS) transmission in radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems is theoretically and experimentally investigated. A highly linear modulation scheme is proposed and demonstrated using a single-drive dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). This method improves EVM performance and enlarges the linear input dynamic range of the VMS transmission. An index of maximum allowable input power difference (MAIPD) that reflects the difference of upper input power limits between these two schemes is measured. An EVM limitation of 5% MAIPD has 5 dB. Both 16and 64-QAM results indicate that the proposed scheme supports VMS transmission better than the MZM one.

Application of silver ion in the separation of macrolide antibiotic components by high-speed counter-current chromatography

Three macrolide antibiotic components – ascomycin, tacrolimus and dihydrotacrolimus – were separated and purified by silver ion high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The solvent system consisted of n-hexane–tert-butyl methyl ether–methanol–water (1:3:6:5, v/v) and silver nitrate (0.10 mol/l). The silver ion acted as a π-complexing agent with tacrolimus because of its extra side double bond compared with ascomycin and dihydrotacrolimus. This complexation modified the partition coefficient values and the separation factors of the three components. As a result, ascomycin, tacrolimus and dihydrotacrolimus were purified from 150 mg extracted crude sample with purities of 97.6%, 98.7% and 96.5%, respectively, and yields over 80% (including their tautomers). These results cannot be achieved with the same solvent system but without the addition of silver ion.     

Preparative separation of six antimycin A components from antimycin fermentation broth by high-speed counter-current chromatography

A method of using high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was established for preparative isolation and purification of antimycin A components from antimycin fermentation broth. Six antimycin A components were successfully purified for the first time by HSCCC with a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane–ethyl acetate–methanol–water (5:2:4:1, by volume). Total of 20 mg antimycin A₄(a or b), 25 mg antimycin A₃(a or b), 21 mg antimycin A₈(a or b), 34 mg antimycin A₂(a or b), 26 mg antimycin A₁(a or b) and 34 mg antimycin A₁(a or b) with the purities of 93.2, 98.6, 96.2, 94.1, 94.9 and 96.7%, respectively, determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), were yielded from 200 mg crude sample only in one HSCCC run.
