Weighted Shift Matrices: Unitary Equivalence, Reducibility and Numerical Ranges
An -by- () weighted shift matrix is one of the form
[{array}{cccc}0 & a_1 & & & 0 & \ddots & & & \ddots & a_{n-1} a_n & & &
0{array}], where the 's, called the weights of , are complex numbers.
Assume that all 's are nonzero and is an -by- weighted shift
matrix with weights . We show that is unitarily equivalent to
if and only if and, for some fixed , , () for all . Next, we show that
is reducible if and only if has periodic weights, that is, for some
fixed , , is divisible by , and
for all . Finally, we prove that and
have the same numerical range if and only if and
for all , where 's are the circularly symmetric functions.Comment: 27 page
A Global Method for a Two-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem in the Manufacturing Industry
A two-dimensional cutting stock problem (2DCSP) needs to cut a set of given rectangular items from standard-sized rectangular materials with the objective of minimizing the number of materials used. This problem frequently arises in different manufacturing industries such as glass, wood, paper, plastic, etc. However, the current literatures lack a deterministic method for solving the 2DCSP. However, this study proposes a global method to solve the 2DCSP. It aims to reduce the number of binary variables for the proposed model to speed up the solving time and obtain the optimal solution. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to current reference methods for solving the 2DCSP
What is Needed for Future 3D Printing from Maker’S Viewpoints
This study focused on investigating makers’ opinions about current 3D printing technology to foster the development and use of 3D printing technologies in Taiwan. 3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing industries as it provided a highly flexible, customizable way of small-quantity production at low cost. Its popularity among general users, however, encountered difficulties such as high requirements in skills, less user-friendliness, lack of practicality, low reliability, etc. Makers, a special group of customers of 3D printers are familiar with problems of this technology as they shared experience on the Internet, started collaborative manufacturing with open sources and turned their DIY activities into E-business. The study utilized questionnaires in the makers’ space to obtain the background of this special group of customers, their viewpoints regarding important features to consider for purchasing a 3D printer, and difficulties and solutions in propagation of 3D printing. The results demonstrated that makers were a group of extrovert and intuitive thinkers in terms of MBTI personalities and treasured printing precision (surface quality), stability (long tuning period) and easy maintenance as most attractive factors to customers. From their viewpoints, difficulties in use, customers’ low interests, and lack of practicality of its products were rated top 3 problems for 3D printing. However, school education, propagation of makers’ space and development of ease-to-use 3D software may help its popularity. The results of this study may help 3D printer manufacturers and 3D printing service providers to better understand their customers’ behaviors, based on which better 3D printing services and 3D printers can be developed to improve their business
Birman-Wenzl-Murakami Algebra and the Topological Basis
In this paper, we use entangled states to construct 9x9-matrix
representations of Temperley-Lieb algebra (TLA), then a family of 9x9-matrix
representations of Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra (BWMA) have been presented.
Based on which, three topological basis states have been found. And we apply
topological basis states to recast nine-dimensional BWMA into its
three-dimensional counterpart. Finally, we find the topological basis states
are spin singlet states in special case.Comment: 11pages, 1 figur
Hexaaquamagnesium(II) bis{5-[3-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]tetrazolide} tetrahydrate
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mg(H2O)6](C8H5N8)2·4H2O, contains one half of the centrosymmetric dication, one anion and two water molecules. The MgII ion is coordinated by six water molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. In the anion, the two five-membered heterocycles are twisted from the central benzene ring by 4.34 (11) and 3.20 (10)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional network
