Linear chaos in the quantum harmonic oscillator

In this note,it is proved that for the annihilation operator B of the unforced quantum harmonic oscillator,B~n is mixing and generically 5-chaotic with any 0 δ 2 for each positive integer n.Besides,by using the result in[Wu X and Zhu P,J.Phys.A：Math.Theor.,2011,44：505101],the authors obtain that the principal measure of B~n is equal to 1 for each positive integer n.     

Semi-algebraically connected components of minimum points of a polynomial function

In a recent article, the authors provided an effective algorithm for both computing the global infimum of f and deciding whether or not the infimum of f is attained, where f is a multivariate polynomial over the field R of real numbers. As a complement, the authors investigate the semi- algebraically connected components of minimum points of a polynomial function in this paper. For a given multivariate polynomial f over R, it is shown that the above-mentioned algorithm can find at least one point in each semi-algebraically connected component of minimum points of f whenever f has its global minimum.     

Generalized F-test for high dimensional regression coefficients of partially linear models

This paper proposes a test procedure for testing the regression coefficients in high dimensional partially linear models based on the F-statistic. In the partially linear model, the authors first estimate the unknown nonlinear component by some nonparametric methods and then generalize the F-statistic to test the regression coefficients under some regular conditions. During this procedure, the estimation of the nonlinear component brings much challenge to explore the properties of generalized F-test. The authors obtain some asymptotic properties of the generalized F-test in more general cases,including the asymptotic normality and the power of this test with p/n ∈(0, 1) without normality assumption. The asymptotic result is general and by adding some constraint conditions we can obtain the similar conclusions in high dimensional linear models. Through simulation studies, the authors demonstrate good finite-sample performance of the proposed test in comparison with the theoretical results. The practical utility of our method is illustrated by a real data example.     

Hilbert Problem 15 and Ritt-Wu Method(Ⅰ)

Hilbert problem 15 requires to understand Schubert's book. In this book, there is a theorem in §23, about the relation of the tangent lines from a point and the singular points of cubed curves with cusp near a 3-multiple straight line, which was obtained by the so called main trunk numbers, while for these numbers, Schubert said that he obtained them by experiences. So essentially Schubert even did not give any hint for the proof of this theorem. In this paper, by using the concept of generic point in the framework of Van der Waerden and Weil on algebraic geometry, and realizing Ritt-Wu method on computer, the authors prove that this theorem of Schubert is completely right.     

Consistency of Chi-Squared Test with Varying Number of Classes

The classical chi-squared goodness of fit test assumes the number of classes is fixed,meanwhile the test statistic has a limiting chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis.It is well known that the number of classes varying with sample size in the test has attached more and more attention.However,in this situation,there is not theoretical results for the asymptotic property of such chi-squared test statistic.This paper proves the consistency of chi-squared test with varying number of classes under some conditions.Meanwhile,the authors also give a convergence rate of KolmogorovSimirnov distance between the test statistic and corresponding chi-square distributed random variable.In addition,a real example and simulation results validate the reasonability of theoretical result and the superiority of chi-squared test with varying number of classes.     

A Note on the Tu-Deng Conjecture

Abstract Let k be a positive integer.For any positive integer x=∑∞i=0x i2i,where x i=0,1,we define the weight w(x)of x by w(x):=∑∞i=0x i.For any integer t with 0t2k-1,let S t:={(a,b)∈Z2|a+b≡t(mod 2k-1),w(a)+w(b)k,0≤a,b≤2k-2}.This paper gives explicit formulas for cardinality of S t in the cases of w(t)≤3 and an upper bound for cardinality of S t when w(t)=4.From this one then concludes that a conjecture proposed by Tu and Deng in 2011 is true if w(t)≤4.     

Co-aperture arrangement of dual antennas for orientation and telemetry in a conformal cavity

The feasibility of making two antennas work within a shared aperture conformai to a platform like an aircraft or a missile is investigated. The shared aperture is enclosed by a deep cavity, which is covered by a columniform dielectric radome. A modified quadrifilar helix antenna （QHA） with extended volute arms and a vertical monopole with a ring shaped ground are arranged in this co-aperture for global position system （GPS） orientation and telemetry, respectively. The effects of the cavity on these two antennas and the mutual coupling between these two antennas are studied through large numbers of experiments. The results show that the QHA has a strong influence on the monopole; however, these two antennas of the overall arrangement can perform simultaneously well within the aperture. The QHA has a right hand circular polarization （RHCP） and a broad beam normal to the radome topside, meanwhile the monopole can be used to produce a main lobe in the grazing direction above the aperture in some certain cases of the vertical location of the QHA in the cavity.     

Ruin probabilities with pairwise quasi-asymptotically independent and dominatedly-varying tailed claims

This paper considers the nonstandard renewal risk model in which a part of surplus is invested into a Black-Scholes market whose price process is modelled by a geometric Brownian motion, claim sizes form a sequence of not necessarily identically distributed and pairwise quasi-asymptotically independent random variables with dominatedly-varying tails.The authors obtain a weakly asymptotic formula for the finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities.In particular,if the claims are identically distributed and consistently-varying tailed,then an asymptotic formula is presented.     

Social learning with time-varying weights

This paper investigates a non-Bayesian social learning model, in which each individual updates her beliefs based on private signals as well as her neighbors＇ beliefs. The private signM is involved in the updating process through Bayes＇ rule, and the neighbors＇ beliefs are embodied in through a weighted average form, where the weights are time-varying. The authors prove that agents eventually have correct forecasts for upcoming signals, and all the beliefs of agents reach a consensus. In addition, if there exists no state that is observationally equivalent to the true state from the point of view of all agents, the authors show that the consensus belief of the whole group eventually reflects the true state.     

STABILITY OF SWITCHED POLYNOMIAL SYSTEMS

This paper investigates the stability of （switched） polynomial systems. Using semi-tensor product of matrices, the paper develops two tools for testing the stability of a （switched） polynomial system. One is to convert a product of multi-variable polynomials into a canonical form, and the other is an easily verifiable sufficient condition to justify whether a multi-variable polynomial is positive definite. Using these two tools, the authors construct a polynomial function as a candidate Lyapunov function and via testing its derivative the authors provide some sufficient conditions for the global stability of polynomial systems.     

Inference for repeated measures models under heteroscedasticity

This paper considers a widely used mixed effects model in repeated measures under heteroscedasticity. Hypotheses of the equality of the fixed effects and the simultaneous confidence intervals for all pair-wise differences are discussed.A generalized F-test has been proposed to test the equality of the fixed effects in the model,but simulation results for evaluating its performance have not been shown in the literature.Moreover,the generalized F-test cannot be used to deduce the simultaneous confidence intervals for all pair-wise differences of the fixed effects.The authors propose two new p-values to test the hypotheses of equality of the fixed effects and simultaneous confidence intervals of the differences of the effects based on the generalized pivotal quantities derived in this paper.The authors also compare the empirical performances of the proposed tests and the generalized F-test. The typeⅠerror rates and powers of these tests are evaluated using the Monte Carlo simulation.The simulation studies show that the generalized F-test does not perform well in terms of typeⅠerror rate under various sample size and parameter combinations.However,the typeⅠerror probabilities of the proposed tests are always close to the nominal value.It can also be seen that the simultaneous confidence intervals perform well.     

GLOBAL CONVERGENCE OF THE DAI-YUAN CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHOD WITH PERTURBATIONS

In this paper, the authors propose a class of Dai-Yuan （abbr. DY） conjugate gradient methods with linesearch in the presence of perturbations on general function and uniformly convex function respectively. Their iterate formula is xk＋1 = xk ＋ αk（sk ＋ ωk）, where the main direction sk is obtained by DY conjugate gradient method, ωk is perturbation term, and stepsize αk is determined by linesearch which does not tend to zero in the limit necessarily. The authors prove the global convergence of these methods under mild conditions. Preliminary computational experience is also reported.

The authors introduce the notions of （∈, ∈ ∨q）-fuzzy Boolean （implicative, positive implicative, and fantastic） filters in BL-algebras, present some characterizations on these generalized fuzzy filters, and describe the relations among these generalized fuzzy filters. It is proved that an （∈, ∈ ∨q）fuzzy filter in a BL-algebra is Boolean （implicative） if and only if it is both positive implicative and fantastic.     

THE EQUILIBRIA OF THE SIZE STRUCTURED POPULATION MODEL

In this paper the existence and stability of the positive equilibrium of the size-structured population model are proved by Rabinowitz‘s theorem and the local linearization method.The result here shows that near the bifurcation point where a branch of positive equilibria appears,the stability of the positive equilibrium on the branch is dcpendent on the direction of the bifurcation.The argument for the model of age-structured population is generalized in this paper.     

Non-Uniform Doo-Sabin Subdivision Surface via Eigen Polygon

This paper constructs a new non-uniform Doo-Sabin subdivision scheme via eigen polygon.The authors proved that the limit surface is always convergent and is G1 continuous for any valence and any positive knot intervals under a minor assumption, that λ is the second and third eigenvalues of the subdivision matrix. And then, a million of numerical experiments are tested with randomly selecting positive knot intervals, which verify that our new subdivision scheme satisfies the assumption.However this is not true for the other two existing non-uniform Doo-Sabin schemes in Sederberg, et al.(1998), Huang and Wang(2013). In additional, numerical experiments indicate that the quality of the new limit surface can be improved.
