Rainbow domination and related problems on some classes of perfect graphs
Let and let be a graph. A function is a rainbow function if, for every vertex with
, . The rainbow domination number
is the minimum of over all rainbow
functions. We investigate the rainbow domination problem for some classes of
perfect graphs
Automated Discharging Arguments for Density Problems in Grids
Discharging arguments demonstrate a connection between local structure and
global averages. This makes it an effective tool for proving lower bounds on
the density of special sets in infinite grids. However, the minimum density of
an identifying code in the hexagonal grid remains open, with an upper bound of
and a lower bound of . We present a new, experimental framework for producing discharging
arguments using an algorithm. This algorithm replaces the lengthy case analysis
of human-written discharging arguments with a linear program that produces the
best possible lower bound using the specified set of discharging rules. We use
this framework to present a lower bound of on
the density of an identifying code in the hexagonal grid, and also find several
sharp lower bounds for variations on identifying codes in the hexagonal,
square, and triangular grids.Comment: This is an extended abstract, with 10 pages, 2 appendices, 5 tables,

Model Reduction for Multiscale Lithium-Ion Battery Simulation
In this contribution we are concerned with efficient model reduction for
multiscale problems arising in lithium-ion battery modeling with spatially
resolved porous electrodes. We present new results on the application of the
reduced basis method to the resulting instationary 3D battery model that
involves strong non-linearities due to Buttler-Volmer kinetics. Empirical
operator interpolation is used to efficiently deal with this issue.
Furthermore, we present the localized reduced basis multiscale method for
parabolic problems applied to a thermal model of batteries with resolved porous
electrodes. Numerical experiments are given that demonstrate the reduction
capabilities of the presented approaches for these real world applications
Recent advances on recursive filtering and sliding mode design for networked nonlinear stochastic systems: A survey
Copyright © 2013 Jun Hu et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.Some recent advances on the recursive filtering and sliding mode design problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with network-induced phenomena are surveyed. The network-induced phenomena under consideration mainly include missing measurements, fading measurements, signal quantization, probabilistic sensor delays, sensor saturations, randomly occurring nonlinearities, and randomly occurring uncertainties. With respect to these network-induced phenomena, the developments on filtering and sliding mode design problems are systematically reviewed. In particular, concerning the network-induced phenomena, some recent results on the recursive filtering for time-varying nonlinear stochastic systems and sliding mode design for time-invariant nonlinear stochastic systems are given, respectively. Finally, conclusions are proposed and some potential future research works are pointed out.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant nos. 61134009, 61329301, 61333012, 61374127 and 11301118, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant no.
