Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates

( Rice University ) Taking a page from computer-aided drug designers, Rice University researchers have developed a computational method that chemists can use to tailor the properties of zeolites, one of the world's most-used industrial minerals. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they wish to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it. The research appears this week in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.

An Operational Matrix Based on Legendre Polynomials for Solving Fuzzy Fractional-Order Differential Equations

This paper deals with the numerical solutions of fuzzy fractional differential equations under Caputo-type fuzzy fractional derivatives of order . We derived the shifted Legendre operational matrix (LOM) of fuzzy fractional derivatives for the numerical solutions of fuzzy fractional differential equations (FFDEs). Our main purpose is to generalize the Legendre operational matrix to the fuzzy fractional calculus. The main characteristic behind this approach is that it reduces such problems to the degree of solving a system of algebraic equations which greatly simplifies the problem. Several illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented technique.

The Investigation of Solutions to the Coupled Schrödinger-Boussinesq Equations

The ()-expansion method and the symbolic computation system Mathematica are employed to investigate the coupled Schrödinger-Boussinesq equations. The hyperbolic function solutions, trigonometric function solutions, and rational function solutions to the equations are obtained. The decaying properties of several solutions are analyzed.

Blow-Up in a Slow Diffusive -Laplace Equation with the Neumann Boundary Conditions

We study a slow diffusive -Laplace equation in a bounded domain with the Neumann boundary conditions. A natural energy is associated to the equation. It is shown that the solution blows up in finite time with the nonpositive initial energy, based on an energy technique. Furthermore, under some assumptions of initial data, we prove that the solutions with bounded initial energy also blow up.

Cone Monotonicity: Structure Theorem, Properties, and Comparisons to Other Notions of Monotonicity

In search of a meaningful 2-dimensional analog to monotonicity, we introduce two new definitions and give examples of and discuss the relationship between these definitions and others that we found in the literature.

Mapping a room in a snap

( Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ) An algorithm developed in EPFL's School of Computer and Communications Sciences makes it possible to measure the dimensions of a room using just a few microphones and a snap of your fingers. Many promising applications are on the horizon.

A Generalization of Exponential Class and Its Applications

A function space, , , is defined. It is proved that is a Banach space which is a generalization of exponential class. An alternative definition of space is given. As an application, we obtain weak monotonicity property for very weak solutions of -harmonic equation with variable coefficients under some suitable conditions related to , which provides a generalization of a known result due to Moscariello. A weighted space is also defined, and the boundedness for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and a Calderón-Zygmund operator with respect to is obtained.

The robust almost periodic dynamical behavior is investigated for interval neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and discontinuous activation functions. Firstly, based on the definition of the solution in the sense of Filippov for differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides and the differential inclusions theory, the existence and asymptotically almost periodicity of the solution of interval network system are proved. Secondly, by constructing appropriate generalized Lyapunov functional and employing linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, a delay-dependent criterion is achieved to guarantee the existence, uniqueness, and global robust exponential stability of almost periodic solution in terms of LMIs. Moreover, as special cases, the obtained results can be used to check the global robust exponential stability of a unique periodic solution/equilibrium for discontinuous interval neural networks with mixed time-varying delays and periodic/constant external inputs. Finally, an illustrative example is given to demonstrate the validity of the theoretical results.

The Stability Criteria with Compound Matrices

The bifurcation problem is one of the most important subjects in dynamical systems. Motivated by M. Li et al. who used compound matrices to judge the stability of matrices and the existence of Hopf bifurcations in continuous dynamical systems, we obtained some effective methods to judge the Schur stability of matrices on the base of the spectral property of compound matrices, which can be used to judge the asymptotical stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcations of discrete dynamical systems.

A Rectangular Mixed Finite Element Method with a Continuous Flux for an Elliptic Equation Modelling Darcy Flow

We introduce a mixed finite element method for an elliptic equation modelling Darcy flow in porous media. We use a staggered mesh where the two components of the velocity and the pressure are defined on three different sets of grid nodes. In the present mixed finite element, the approximate velocity is continuous and the conservation law still holds locally. The LBB consistent condition is established, while the error estimates are obtained for both the velocity and the pressure. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis.
