Robust strictly dissipative control for delay-dependent uncertain singular markovian jump systems LI Xiu-ying;XING Wei;ZHANG Qing-ling 2011, 2011 (3):  21-28.  Abstract ( 2862 )   PDF (390KB) ( 1473 )   Save Firstly, the conception of strict dissipativeness was introduced for delay-dependent singular Markovian jump systems. Then a sufficient condition was derived guaranteeing these systems stochastically admissible and strictly dissipative by using the linear matrix inequality technique. Furthermore, the design method of a state feedback controller was given which ensures the resultant closed-loop system to be stochastically admissible and strictly dissipative.

Higher order optimality conditions for weakly Benson proper efficient solutions of nonconvex set-valued optimization problems WANG Kai-rong;WANG Yi-li;CAO Wei 2011, 2011 (3):  59-67.  Abstract ( 2727 )   PDF (333KB) ( 1968 )   Save Firstly, some necessarily basic concepts and an important lemma were given. Secondly, some important properties of generalized higher-order tangent sets were discussed. Finally, by virtue of those properties and the Gerstewitz's nonconvex separation functional, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions were obtained for weakly Benson proper efficient solutions of set-valued optimization problems without any convexity assumption on objective and constraint mappings. Moreover, two examples were given to show that the result obtained is a generalization to the corresponding results in literatures. Related Articles | Metrics

Maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius of bicyclic graphs with given independence number LI Rui-lin;SHI Jin-song;DONG Bing-can 2011, 2011 (3):  73-84.  Abstract ( 2563 )   PDF (491KB) ( 1665 )   Save Let B(n,α) be the class of bicyclic graphs on n vertices with independence numberα. Let B1(n,α) be the subclass of B(n,α) consisting of all bicyclic graphs with two edge-disjoint cycles and B2(n,α) = B（n,α)\B1(n,α). This paper determined the unique graph with the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius among all graphs in B1(n,α) and B2(n,α), respectively. Furthermore, the upper bound of the signless Laplacian spectral radius and the extremal graph for B(n,α) were also obtained. Related Articles | Metrics

Realization of quantum symplectic group O(Spq(8)) via vector representation of Uq(sp(8)) GONG Ben-xue;LI Sha-sha 2011, 2011 (3):  85-89.  Abstract ( 2660 )   PDF (172KB) ( 1621 )   Save To the quantum enveloping algebra Uq(sl2(C)) of type A Lie algebra A2, Jantzen gave the defining relations of SLq(2) arising from the representations of Uq(sl2(C)) by the R-matrix. This paper studied the similar question to Uq(sp(8)) of type C Lie algebra sp(8) which is more difficult than type A, and gave the realization of O(Spq(8)) arising from the representations of Uq(sp(8)) via Jantzen's approach.

Note on induced modules and their extensions for graded Lie algebras of Cartan type HUANG Hui 2011, 2011 (3):  90-99.  Abstract ( 2554 )   PDF (235KB) ( 1649 )   Save In the sense of generalized restricted Lie algebras, it was proved that the modified induced modules of graded Lie algebras of Cartan types W, S, H coincide with coinduced modules. The relationship between induced modules and coinduced modules was obtained, extending the corresponding result by Rolf Farnsteiner and Helmut Strade in the case of restricted Lie algebras. Therefore, it was proved that any irreducible non-exceptional modules for graded Lie algebras of Cartan types W, S, H with generalized p-character of height not more than a precise upper-bound is a coinduced module. By applying this with some results on cohomology obtained by Rolf Farnsteiner in 1990s, we finally got some further results on extensions between simple modules of graded Lie algebras of Cartan types W, S, H.

Extension and implementation of the homotopy analysis method ZHU Wei;LIU Yin-ping 2011, 2011 (3):  100-110.  Abstract ( 3438 )   PDF (794KB) ( 1657 )   Save The homotopy analysis method (HAM) was extended based on the new definition of the Adomian Polynomials proposed by Rach in 2008. Three new kinds of Rm in HAM were defined. By analyzing we know that their expanding speeds are higher than that of the original HAM. These methods provide us more choices to deal with differential equations, especially when the original HAM does not work well. A Maple package was developed to automatically solve ordinary differential system with all of these methods conveniently. Related Articles | Metrics

Network selection scheme and a simulator for future urban road heterogeneous wireless access networks CHEN Lei;FANG Sheng;WANG Neng 2011, 2011 (3):  111-122.  Abstract ( 2343 )   PDF (1506KB) ( 1841 )   Save A utility based network selection scheme having been formerly proposed by us was explained and analysed furtherly. Different from a traditional scheme only considering two factors, our scheme took more factors important for multimedia application in future urban road heterogeneous wireless access networks into account within a simple framework. The selection algorithm was improved and a rudimental simulator was developed. Related Articles | Metrics

Tertiary relict plant Liquidambar acalycina Chang on Mt. Tianmu in Eastern China: Characteristics of the community and the ecological significance SHANG Kan-kan;WANG Jie;YU Qian;ZHAO Ming-shui;DA Liang-jun- 2011, 2011 (3):  134-144.  Abstract ( 2917 )   PDF (965KB) ( 2354 )   Save The floristic composition, physiognomy and community structure of Liquidambar acalycina forests at the typical sites have been studied in this paper. The results showed that a total of 177 species of vascular plants were recorded,belonging to 128 genera and 65 families. The analysis of floristic geographical elements indicated that the areal-types are complicated and the dominant elements are of the temperate type. An analysis of life form spectrum and leaf characters showed that the physiognomy of these communities was characterized by phanerophytes with meso- and microphyllic-herbaceous simple leaves. In these forests, four distinct layers were distinguished from the forest floor to the canopy, namely the herb layer, the shrub layer, the subtree layer and the tree layer, respectively. In conclusion, the L. acalycina communities were remnant forests that characterized by deciduous phanerophytes with meso- and microphyllic-herbaceous simple leaves. The biogeography of L. acalycina forests were divided into the southern and northern part of mid-subtropical zone. The ratio of deciduous elements and cool-tolerated evergreen elements were increased while the latitude was raised. There were more Tertiary relict tree coexisted in the L. acalycina forests at higher latitude. Hence, more studies on evolution history and community dynamics of L. acalycina forests should been developed for explaining the origin and evolution of Liquidambar genus and the effects of ice age on Tertiary forests.
