Convergence of an augmented Lagrange algorithm for nonlinear optimizations with second-order cone constraints

An augmented Lagrange algorithm for nonlinear optimizations with second-order cone constraints is proposed based on a Löwner operator associated with a potential function for the optimization problems with inequality constraints. The favorable properties of both the Löwner operator and the corresponding augmented Lagrangian are discussed. And under some mild assumptions, the rate of convergence of the augmented Lagrange algorithm is studied in detail.     

Set Partition Complexes

The Hom complexes were introduced by Lovász to study topological obstructions to graph colorings. The vertices of Hom(G,K _n ) are the n-colorings of the graph G, and a graph coloring is a partition of the vertex set into independent sets. Replacing the independence condition with any hereditary condition defines a set partition complex. We show how coloring questions arising from, for example, Ramsey theory can be formulated with set partition complexes. It was conjectured by Babson and Kozlov, and proved by Čukić and Kozlov, that Hom(G,K _n ) is (n−d−2)-connected, where d is the maximal degree of a vertex of G. We generalize this to set partition complexes.

Homotopy groups of Hom complexes of graphs

The notion of ×-homotopy from [Anton Dochtermann, Hom complexes and homotopy theory in the category of graphs, European J. Combin., in press] is investigated in the context of the category of pointed graphs. The main result is a long exact sequence that relates the higher homotopy groups of the space Hom_∗(G,H) with the homotopy groups of Hom_∗(G,HI). Here Hom_∗(G,H) is a space which parameterizes pointed graph maps from G to H (a pointed version of the usual Hom complex), and HI is the graph of based paths in H. As a corollary it is shown that πi(Hom_∗(G,H))≅_×[G,ΩiH], where ΩH is the graph of based closed paths in H and _×[G,K] is the set of ×-homotopy classes of pointed graph maps from G to K. This is similar in spirit to the results of [Eric Babson, Hélène Barcelo, Mark de Longueville, Reinhard Laubenbacher, Homotopy theory of graphs, J. Algebraic Combin. 24 (1) (2006) 31-44], where the authors seek a space whose homotopy groups encode a similarly defined homotopy theory for graphs. The categorical connections to those constructions are discussed.     

非线性增益介质中强激光热像的演化规律

高功率激光系统中的热像效应可能导致光束的峰值功率剧烈增加,增益非线性介质会使这种光强增幅更为强烈。基于菲涅尔-基尔霍夫衍射理论和非线性近轴波动方程,对强激光在增益克尔介质工作在饱和区时的热像产生过程进行理论分析,将光束传输方程中增益饱和部分进行麦克劳林展开,取其近似,经过推导得出了介质薄近似时热像强度解析式和热像位置。通过数值模拟对解析结论预测的热像强度和位置进行验证。仿真结果表明,热像的位置在衍射物相对于介质对称处,热像强度解析结果与模拟结果相符,在薄介质时,解析解与模拟结果拟合较好。热像强度随非线性介质内非线性效应增强而停止增加,此外,讨论了热像强度随调制类型的变化。     

布洛赫电子的拓扑与几何

文章回顾了电子的拓扑几何理论发展的初期,大约二十多年的历史。首先介绍拓扑陈数在凝聚态物理中的两个重要应用。其一关于量子霍尔效应,绝缘条件下霍尔电导可以写成一个陈数拓扑不变量,从而解释实验结果的精确量子化。其二关于绝热泵浦,它描述布洛赫能带的绝热电流响应,与电子极化有密切联系。拓扑陈数是布里渊区上贝里曲率的积分,后者本身也有独立的物理意义。接着介绍贝里曲率对电子动力学的影响,包括反常速度和轨道磁化等概念。作者还将这个理论推广到多带情况,使其可以应用到自旋输运等现象。最后,文中展示了再量子化方法,从半经典模型来获得布洛赫电子的有效量子理论。在非相对论极限下,泡利—薛定谔方程可以看作是狄拉克电子在正能谱上的等效量子理论,其中的自旋轨道耦合即是一种几何物理效应。     

The equivariant topology of stable Kneser graphs

The stable Kneser graph SG_n,k, n?1, k?0, introduced by Schrijver (1978) [19], is a vertex critical graph with chromatic number k+2, its vertices are certain subsets of a set of cardinality m=2n+k. Björner and de Longueville (2003) [5] have shown that its box complex is homotopy equivalent to a sphere, Hom(K₂,SG_n,k)?Sk. The dihedral group D2m acts canonically on SG_n,k, the group C₂ with 2 elements acts on K₂. We almost determine the (C₂×D2m)-homotopy type of Hom(K₂,SG_n,k) and use this to prove the following results.The graphs SG_2s,4 are homotopy test graphs, i.e. for every graph H and r?0 such that Hom(SG_2s,4,H) is (r−1)-connected, the chromatic number χ(H) is at least r+6.If k∉{0,1,2,4,8} and n?N(k) then SG_n,k is not a homotopy test graph, i.e. there are a graph G and an r?1 such that Hom(SG_n,k,G) is (r−1)-connected and χ(G)<r+k+2.     

Representability of Hilbert Schemes and Hilbert Stacks of Points

We show that the Hilbert functor of points on an arbitrary separated algebraic stack is an algebraic space. We also show the algebraicity of the Hilbert stack of points on an algebraic stack and the algebraicity of the Weil restriction of an algebraic stack along a finite flat morphism. For the latter two results, no separation assumptions are necessary.
