On Constraint Qualifications in Nonsmooth Optimization

We introduce extensions of the Mangasarian-Fromovitz and Abadie constraint qualifications to nonsmooth optimization problems with feasibility given by means of lower-level sets. We do not assume directional differentiability, but only upper semicontinuity of the defining functions. By deriving and reviewing primal first-order optimality conditions for nonsmooth problems, we motivate the formulations of the constraint qualifications. Then, we study their interrelation, and we show how they are related to the Slater condition for nonsmooth convex problems, to nonsmooth reverse-convex problems, to the stability of parametric feasible set mappings, and to alternative theorems for the derivation of dual first-order optimality conditions.In the literature on general semi-infinite programming problems, a number of formally different extensions of the Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification have been introduced recently under different structural assumptions. We show that all these extensions are unified by the constraint qualification presented here.

An Alternative Approach to the Extraction of Structure Functions in Deep Inelastic e-p Scattering at 5 to 20 GeV

Two structure functions W1(x,Q2) and W2(x,Q2) are determined by using the cross sections measured in the deep inelastic electron-proton scattering experiments at Stanford Linac in the energy range of 5 to 20 GeV. In this paper an alternative mathematical approach have been used in such determination, resulting in a larger number of points in the graphs of the structure functions.     

基于半像素错位的多幅图像重建高分辨率图像技术研究

介绍了一种基于半像素错位的多幅图像重建高分辨率图像技术。分析了半像素错位的多幅图像与高分辨率图像各像素灰度值的对应关系 ,并从CCD数字化采样的角度进行了论证。同时 ,结合实际摄像机CCD结构 ,求出了高分辨率图像重建的计算公式 ,并通过实验进行了验证和完善。重建的本质是以原高分辨率图像的 4邻域平均图像为基础 ,增加一定比例的边缘细节信息 ,去接近原高分辨率图像。CCD的动态范围越大 ,图像的灰度级越多 ,那么计算误差就越小 ,图像的边缘细节信息就可以利用更多 ,重建的图像就越接近原高分辨率图像。通过实验和分析表明 ,利用半像素错位的多幅低分辨率图像重建高分辨率图像的原理是正确的 ,方案是可行的     

Energy Recovery from Municipal Solid Waste in Small Communities

The heating values of municipal solid waste generated in three towns with a population of less than 50 000, situated in Galicia (Spain), were measured with a static bomb calorimeter. Samples of raw refuse were burnt either as received or after sorting of the different combustible components. A study was made of samples from controlled and uncontrolled landfills. The calorific values were compared with those corresponding to a commercial residual derived fuel in order to study the possibility of using municipal solid waste as a source of recovered energy. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

旋转铂盘电极上Cu(phen)_2~(2 )与6-巯基嘌呤的相互作用

在Tris-NaC1*(pH=7.2)缓冲溶液中,应用循环伏安法,微分脉冲伏安法、旋转圆盘电极实验、交流阻抗法及其数据模拟等技术研究了Cu(phen)2 25(phcn=1.10-邻菲咯啉)与6-巯基嘌呤(6-MP)的相互作用.结果显示.Cu(phen)2 2MP与6-MP无论在扩散控制过程或电化学控制过程都发生了相互作用.Cu(phen)2 2及其与6-MP的作用产物于铂电极上均呈现一对氧化还原峰,但后者呈现的氧化还原峰负移.峰电流减小.交流阻抗结果显示,无论6-MP存在与否,Cu(phen)2 2在交流阻抗谱上均呈现两个清晰的电容弧,但当6-MP存在时,电化学反应电阻和电化学吸脱附电阻均增大.Cu(phen)2 2在不同转速下的阻抗拟合结果显示.随转速增大.电化学反应电阻和电化学吸脱附电阻均减小.双电层电容呈增大趋势,而吸脱附电容呈减小趋势:当6-MP存在时.仍然呈现此变化规律.     

Asymptotic expansions of the distributions of some test statistics

Summary A modified Wald statistic for testing simple hypothesis against fixed as well as local alternatives is proposed. The asymptotic expansions of the distributions of the proposed statistic as well as the Wald and Rao statistics under both the null and alternative hypotheses are obtained. The powers of these statistics are compared and its is shown that for special structures of parameters some statistics have same power in the sence of order . The results obtained are applied for testing the hypothesis about the covariance matrix of the multivariate normal distribution and it is shown that none of the tests based on the above statistics is uniformly superior.

Convexlike and concavelike conditions in alternative,minimax, and minimization theorems

Convexlike and concavelike conditions are of interest for extensions of the Von Neumann minimax theorem. Since the beginning of the 80's, these conditions also play a certain role in deriving generalized alternative theorems of the Gordan, Motzkin, and Farkas type and Lagrange multiplier results for constrained minimization problems.In this paper, we study various known convexlike conditions for vector-valued functions on a set and investigate convexlike and concavelike conditions for real-valued functions on a product setC×D, where we are mainly interested in the relationships between these conditions. At the end of the paper, we point out several conclusions from our results for the above-mentioned mathematical fields.The author is indebted to Dr. R. Reemtsen and Dr. V. Jeyakumar for their helpful comments during the preparations of this paper.     

Real-time sensing and three-dimensional display of far outdoor scenes based on asymmetric integral imaging

A new asymmetric integral imaging (AII) system for real-time pickup and three-dimensional (3-D) display of far outdoor scenes based on dynamic-pixel-mapping (DPM) is proposed. DPM is a digital process to transform the elemental images captured with a lens array into the perspective-variant object images (POIs) whose structures are matched with those of display lenses, where the orders of pixels in each POI are reversely mapped, and then capture a set of virtual elemental images (EIs) at the specific depth planes from the back-propagated POIs. This DPM enables an asymmetrical use of pickup and display lens arrays, allowing the long-ranged pickup of far outdoor scenes and their resolution-enhanced 3-D reconstruction. Experiments with a pair of pickup and display lens arrays whose pitches and focal lengths are given by 7.5 mm, 30 mm and 1.2 mm, 8 mm, respectively, show that the effective pickup-range and resolution of the proposed system have been increased up to 6 m and 1600×1600 pixels, respectively, from 0.064 m and 480×480 pixels of the conventional systems employing the same pickup and display lens arrays. In addition, experiments with an implemented test bed confirms that the proposed system can provide real-time 3-D images in 25 frames per second.
