A Conic Algorithm for the Group Minimization Problem

A new algorithm for the group minimization problem (GP) is proposed. The algorithm can be broadly described as follows. A suitable relaxation of(GP) is defined, in which any feasible point satisfies the group equation but may have negative components. The feasible points of the relaxation are then generated in order of ascending costs by a variant of a well-known algorithm of Glover, and checked for non-negativity. The first non-negative point is an optimal solution of (GP). Advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm are discussed; in particular, the implementation of the algorithm (which can be easily extended so as to solve integer linear programming problems) does not require group arithmetics.

pi-calculus, internal mobility, and agent-passing calculi

The $\pi$-calculus is a process algebra which originates from CCS and permits a natural modelling of mobility (i.e., dynamic reconfigurations of the process linkage) using communication of names. Previous research has shown that the $\pi$-calculus has much greater expressiveness than CCS, but also a much more complex mathematical theory. The primary goal of this work is to understand the reasons of this gap. Another goal is to compare the expressiveness of {\em \no} calculi, i.e., calculi like $\pi$-calculus where mobility is achieved via exchange of names, and that of {\em agent-passing calculi}, i.e., calculi where mobility is achieved via exchange of agents. We separate the mobility mechanisms of the \pic into two, respectively called {\em internal mobility} and {\em external mobility}. The study of the subcalculus which only uses internal mobility, called \pii, suggests that internal mobility is responsible for {much} of the expressiveness of the $\pi$-calculus, whereas external mobility is responsible for {much} of the semantic complications. A pleasant property of \pii  is the full symmetry between input and output constructs. Internal mobility is strongly related to agent-passing mobility. By imposing bounds on the order of the types of \pii and of the Higher-Order $\pi$-calculus \cite{San923} we define a hierarchy of name-passing calculi based on internal mobility and one of agent-passing calculi. We show that there is an exact correspondence, in terms of expressiveness, between the two hierarchies

Properties of Multiferroic BiFeO3 from First Principles

In this dissertation, a first-principle-based approach is developed to study magnetoelectric effect in multiferoic materials. Such approach has a significant predictive power and might serve as a guide to new experimental works. As we will discuss in the course of this work, it also gives an important insight to the underlying physics behind the experimentally observed phenomena. We start by applying our method to investigate properties of a generic multiferroic material. We observe how magnetic susceptibility of such materials evolves with temperature and compare this evolution with the characteristic behavior of magnetic susceptibility for pure magnetic systems. Then we focus our attention to particular multiferroic - BiFeO3 - and reproduce its magnetic states with all of their essential features. Those magnetic states include (i) antiferromagnetic state, (ii) state with weak ferromagnetism resulting from canting of magnetic moments, and (iii) cycloidal magnetic structure. All of those magnetic states were also studied under external electric and magnetic fields. Under such electric fields magnetic order parameters of the systems undergo interesting transformations and sometimes take unexpected path. Finally, we study the material under strain and explore possibilities of favoring one magnetic state over another and even creating states that can be stable only under the strain
