Further results on generalized LCM matrices

Let S={x_1,x_2,...,x_n } be a set of n distinct positive integers and f be an arithmetic function.By(f[S])(resp.( f[S])),we denote the n*n matrix whose i,j entry is Σ[x_i,x_j]|l l∈S f(l) (resp.Σx∈Sf(x)-Σ x_i,|l l∈S f(l)-Σ x_j,|l l∈S f(l)+Σ[x_i,x_j]|l l∈S f(l)).In this paper,we first investigate the structures of the matrices ( f[S]) and( f[S]),then we give the formulae for the determinants of these matrices.These extend the results obtained by Bege in 2011.Finally,we give two examples to demonstrate the validity of our main results.     

On the Arithmetic of Endomorphism Ring End$$({Z_p} \times {Z_{{p^m}}})$$

For a prime p, let \({E_{P,{P^m}}} = \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}aamp;b \\ {{p^{m – 1}}c}amp;d \end{array}} \right)\left| {a,b,c \in {Z_p},d} \right. \in {Z_{{p^m}}}} \right\}\). We first establish a ring isomorphism from \({Z_{p,{p^m}}}\)onto \({E_{p,{p^m}}}\). Then we provide a way to compute -d and d^–1 by using arithmetic in Z_p and \({Z_{{p^m}}}\), and characterize the invertible elements of \({E_{p,{p^m}}}\). Moreover, we introduce the minimal polynomial for each element in \({E_{p,{p^m}}}\)and give its applications.     

Ranks of repeated-root constacyclic code

By the discussion of division in \(F_{^{^{^{_2 m} } } } \left[ u \right]/\left\langle {u^4 } \right\rangle \), the minimal spanning set and the rank of a (1 + u + u ²) - constacyclic code with an arbitrary length N = 2 ^e n over \(\Phi \) are determined based on the factorization of (x ⁿ - 1) over \({F_{{2^m}}}\).     

Binding number,minimum degree and bipancyclism in bipartite graphs

Let G =(V_1,V_2,E) be a balanced bipartite graph with2 n vertices.The bipartite binding number of G,denoted by B(G),is defined to be n if G =K_n and min i∈{1,2}|N(S)|n min |N(S)|/|S|otherwise.We call G bipancyclic if it contains a cycle of every even length m for 4 ≤ m ≤ 2n.A theorem showed that if G is a balanced bipartite graph with 2n vertices,B(G) 3 / 2 and n 139,then G is bipancyclic.This paper generalizes the conclusion as follows:Let 0 c 3 / 2 and G be a 2-colmected balanced bipartite graph with 2n(n is large enough) vertices such that B(G) c and δ(G)(2-c)n/(3-c)+2/3.Then G is bipancyclic.     

Gas-based reduction of vanadium titano-magnetite concentrate: behavior and mechanisms

The reduction of vanadium titano-magnetite pellets by H₂-CO at temperatures from 850 to 1050℃ was investigated in this paper. The influences of pre-oxidation treatment, reduction temperature, and V_H2/(V_H2 + V_CO) on the metallization degree were studied. The results showed that pre-oxidation played a substantial role in the reduction of vanadium titano-magnetite pellets. During the reduction process, the metallization degree increased with increasing temperature and increasing V_H2/(V_H2 + V_CO). The phase transformation of pre-oxidized vanadium titano-magnetite pellets during the reduction process under an H₂ atmosphere and a CO atmosphere was discussed, and the reduced samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with back scatter electron (BSE) imaging. The results show that the difference in thermodynamic reducing ability between H₂ and CO is not the only factor that leads to differences in the reduction results obtained using different atmospheres. Some of Fe_3-xTi_xO₄ cannot be reduced under a CO atmosphere because of the densification of particles' structure and because of the enrichment of Mg in unreacted cores. By contrast, a loose structure of particles was obtained when the pellets were reduced under an H₂ atmosphere and this structure decreased the resistance to gas diffusion. Moreover, the phenomenon of Mg enrichment in unreacted cores disappeared during H₂ reduction. Both the lower resistance to gas diffusion and the lack of Mg enrichment facilitated the reduction of vanadium titano-magnetite.     

Critical Chords of Convex Bodies of Constant Width

In this paper, we show that when Minkowski measure of asymmetry of convex body K of constant width is bigger than α (n-1), K has at least n+1 critical chords, where \(\alpha (n) = \frac{{n + \sqrt {2n(n + 1)} }}{{n + 2}}\).     

Properties of a class of groups on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Z</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper, we obtain the factorization of direct production and order of group GL(n, Z _m ) in a simple method. Then we generalize some properties of GL(2, Z _p ) proposed by Huppert, and prove that the group \(GL\left( {2,{Z_{{z^\lambda }}}} \right)\) is solvable. We also prove that group GL(n, Z _p ) is solvable if and only if GL(n, Z _p ) is solvable, and list the generators of groups GL(n, Z _p ) and SL(n, Z _p ). At last, we prove that PSL(2, Z _p )(p > 3) and PSL(n, Z _p )(n > 3) are simple.

Super-Edge-Connectivity of G(k,d,s)(s≥k/2)

A graph G is super-edge-connected,for short super-λ,if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges adjacent to a vertex of minimum degree.Alphabet overlap graph G(k,d,s)is undirected,simple graph with vertex set V={v|v=1()kv…v;vi∈{1,2,…,d},i=1,…,k}.Two vertices u=(u1…uk)and v=(v1…vk)are adjacent if and only if us+i=vi or vs+i=ui(i=1,…,k-s).In particular G(k,d,1)is just an undirected de Bruijn graph.In this paper,we show that the diameter of G(k,d,s)is k s,the girth is 3.Finally,we prove that G(k,d,s)(s≥k/2)is super-λ.     

On convergence of singular integral operators with respect to path of integration

Givenf being Hölder continuous in a regionG?C. For the Cauchy principal integral $$I(\Gamma ,f) = \frac{1}{{\pi i}} \int_\Gamma {\frac{{f(\zeta )}}{{\zeta - \zeta _0 }}d\zeta , \zeta _0 \in \Gamma } $$ where Γ?G is a smooth closed contour, it is established that, if a sequence of smooth closed contours Γn?G(n∈N) smoothly convergent to Γ, then the corresponding sequenceI(Γ _n, f)is convergent to I(Γ, f). Furthermore, when Γ is approximated by a sequence of complex cubic splines $S_{\Delta _n } (\Gamma )$ interpolatory to Γ, the error $|I(\Gamma ,f)--I(S_{\Delta _n } (\Gamma ,f)|$ is estimated.     

Global Existence and Optimal Decay Rate of the Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Equation with Potential Force

In this paper, we consider the three dimensional compressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations(MHD) with the external potential force. We first derive the corresponding non-constant stationary solutions. Next, we show global wellposedness of the initial value problem for the three dimensional compressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations, provided that the initial data is close to the stationary solution. Finally, based on the elaborate energy estimates for the nonlinear system and L~p-L~q decay estimates of the linearized equation, we show the optimal convergence rates of the solution in L~q-norm with 2≤q≤6 and its first derivative in L~2-norm when the initial perturbation is bounded in L~p-norm with 1≤p6/5.

Vertex disjoint cycles in intersection graphs of bases of matroids

The intersection graph of bases of a matroid M=(E, B) is a graph G=G~I(M) with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G) such that V(G)=B(M) and E(G)={BB′:|B∩B′|≠0, B, B′∈B(M), where the same notation is used for the vertices of G and the bases of M. Suppose that|V(G~I(M))| =n and k_1+k_2+…+k_p=n, where k_i is an integer, i=1, 2,…, p. In this paper, we prove that there is a partition of V(G~I(M)) into p parts V_1 , V_2,…, V_p such that |V_i| =k_i and the subgraph H_i induced by V_i contains a k_i-cycle when k_i ≥3, H_i is isomorphic to K_2 when k_i =2 and H_i is a single point when k_i =1.     

The bubble leakage mechanism for vertical upflows by the phase separation concept

Recently,our research group proposed the phase separation condenser tube,in which a mesh cylinder was inserted to form the flow structure of‘‘gas near the tube wall and liquid in the tube core’’,significantly enhance the condensation heat transfer.But the bubble leakage towards the core region may worsen the heat transfer enhancement.In order to prevent the bubble leakage,the critical criterion was proposed based on the Young–Laplace equation,considering the inertia force,viscous force and pulsating flow.It was found that the critical criterion depends on the dimensionless parameter G*,the We number and a coefficient C.The numerical model was developed in terms of the volume of fluid method to predict the two-phase laminar flow in the phase separation condenser tube.The results show that the bubble leakage takes place at the bubble tip,which is agreed with the experimental observations.The critical curve distinguishing the non-bubble-breaking and bubble-breaking was obtained by comparing the bubble dynamics at different G*and We.The coefficient C was determined.The critical criterion for the bubble leakage is given as G We0:22We0:99349 G4:7 103 We0:00651t196:39We0:006514cosa DHW,providing the design and operation guidance for the phase separation condenser tube.     

Texture evolution of commercial pure Ti during cold rolling and recrystallization annealing

X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to analyze the texture evolution of commercial pure (CP) Ti during cold rolling and recrystallization annealing. The texture components were measured by electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) after recrystallization annealing. The CP Ti tends to form a texture with the basal pole tilted 30°-40° away from the normal direction toward the transverse direction. The texture of the initial hot-rolled plate can be classified into three kinds, i.e., the pyramid texture (1013)[5230] and (2021)[1015], the basal plane texture (0001)[2110], and the stronger prism texture (1120)[0001]. After cold rolling and annealing (700℃, 60 min), the main texture components are the cold-rolled texture (1125)[1123] and the recrystallized texture (1013)[5230]. The texture (2021)[1015] is inherited from the texture of the initial hot-rolled plate with the decrease of orientation density gradually. The volume contents of the cold-rolled texture {2115} <0110> and the recrystallized texture {1013} <1210> are calculated by EBSD. After recrystallization annealing, the specimen is rich in the recrystallized texture and inherits some of texture components from the cold-rolled texture. When the annealing time is prolonged, the anisotropic value decreases.

The Reverse Hoelder Classes in Martingale Setting

In martingale setting, it has been shown that Ap weights can be factorized in terms of A1 weights. This factorization benefits many problems very much. ]n this paper, the new class of RH~ plays the same role for RHs, which makes the reverse HOlder inequalities hold with exponent s＞1, that the class A1 does for Ap class. Therefore, the Jones‘ factorization theorem for Ap weights was extended to include some information about the reverse HOlder classes. And it is the most convenient obiect in weight theory indeed.     

Lüroth Expansion Digits and Maclaurin's Inequality

It is well known that for almost all real number x, the geometric mean of the first n digits d_i(x) in the Lüroth expansion of x converges to a number K_0 as n→∞. On the other hand, for almost all x, the arithmetric mean of the first n Lüroth expansion digits d_i(x) approaches infinity as n→∞. There is a sequence of refinements of the AM-GM inequality, Maclaurin's inequalities, relating the 1/k-th powers of the k-th elementary symmetric means of n numbers for 1≤k≤n. In this paper, we investigate what happens to the means of Lüroth expansion digits in the limit as one moves f(n) steps away from either extreme. We prove sufficient conditions on f(n) to ensure divergence when one moves away from the arithmetic mean and convergence when one moves f(n) steps away from geometric mean.
