Hamiltonian properties of graphs with large neighborhood unions
AbstractLet G be a graph of order n, Ïk = min{Ï”i=1kd(Îœi): {Îœ1,âŠ, Îœk} is an independent set of vertices in G}, NC = min{|N(u)âȘ N(Îœ)|: uÎœâE(G)} and NC2 = min{|N(u)âȘN(Îœ)|: d(u,Îœ)=2}. Ore proved that G is hamiltonian if Ï2â©Ÿnâ©Ÿ3, while Faudree et al. proved that G is hamiltonian if G is 2-connected and NCâ©Ÿ13(2nâ1). It is shown that both results are generalized by a recent result of Bauer et al. Various other existing results in hamiltonian graph theory involving degree-sums or cardinalities of neighborhood unions are also compared in terms of generality. Furthermore, some new results are proved. In particular, it is shown that the bound 13(2nâ1) on NC in the result of Faudree et al. can be lowered to 13(2nâ1), which is best possible. Also, G is shown to have a cycle of length at least min{n, 2(NC2)} if G is 2-connected and Ï3â©Ÿn+2. A Dλ-cycle (Dλ-path) of G is a cycle (path) C such that every component of GâV(C) has order smaller than λ. Sufficient conditions of Lindquester for the existence of Hamilton cycles and paths involving NC2 are extended to Dλ-cycles and Dλ-paths
A note on autodense related languages
In this paper, some algebraic properties of autodense languages and pure autodense languages are studied. We also investigate the algebraic properties concerning anti-autodense languages. The family of anti-autodense languages contains infix codes, comma-free codes, and some subfamilies of new codes which are anti-autodense prefix codes, anti-autodense suffix codes and anti-autodense codes. The relationships among these subfamilies of new codes are investigated. The characterization of L (n) , n a parts per thousand yen 2, which are anti-autodense is studied
Blowup Criterion for the Compressible Flows with Vacuum States
We prove that the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity
gradients controls the possible breakdown of smooth(strong) solutions for the
3-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which will happen, for
example, if the initial density is compactly supported \cite{X1}. More
precisely, if a solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations is
initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the loss of
regularity implies the growth without bound of the deformation tensor as the
critical time approaches. Our result is the same as Ponce's criterion for
3-dimensional incompressible Euler equations (\cite{po}). Moreover, our method
can be generalized to the full Compressible Navier-Stokes system which improve
the previous results. In addition, initial vacuum states are allowed in our
cases.Comment: 17 page
Exact diagonalization of the generalized supersymmetric t-J model with boundaries
We study the generalized supersymmetric model with boundaries in three
different gradings: FFB, BFF and FBF. Starting from the trigonometric R-matrix,
and in the framework of the graded quantum inverse scattering method (QISM), we
solve the eigenvalue problems for the supersymmetric model. A detailed
calculations are presented to obtain the eigenvalues and Bethe ansatz equations
of the supersymmetric model with boundaries in three different
backgrounds.Comment: Latex file, 32 page
Optimal Sizes of Dielectric Microspheres for Cavity QED with Strong Coupling
The whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of quartz microspheres are investigated
for the purpose of strong coupling between single photons and atoms in cavity
quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED). Within our current understanding of the
loss mechanisms of the WGMs, the saturation photon number, n, and critical atom
number, N, cannot be minimized simultaneously, so that an "optimal" sphere size
is taken to be the radius for which the geometric mean, (n x N)^(1/2), is
minimized. While a general treatment is given for the dimensionless parameters
used to characterize the atom-cavity system, detailed consideration is given to
the D2 transition in atomic Cesium (852nm) using fused-silica microspheres, for
which the maximum coupling coefficient g/(2*pi)=750MHz occurs for a sphere
radius a=3.63microns corresponding to the minimum for n=6.06x10^(-6). By
contrast, the minimum for N=9.00x10^(-6) occurs for a sphere radius of
a=8.12microns, while the optimal sphere size for which (n x N)^(1/2) is
minimized occurs at a=7.83microns. On an experimental front, we have fabricated
fused-silica microspheres with radii a=10microns and consistently observed
quality factors Q=0.8x10^(7). These results for the WGMs are compared with
corresponding parameters achieved in Fabry-Perot cavities to demonstrate the
significant potential of microspheres as a tool for cavity QED with strong
coupling.Comment: 12 pages, 14 figure
Thermopower and thermal conductivity of superconducting perovskite
The thermopower and thermal conductivity of superconducting perovskite
( 8 K) have been studied. The thermopower is negative
from room temperature to 10 K. Combining with the negative Hall coefficient
reported previously, the negative thermopower definetly indicates that the
carrier in is electron-type. The nonlinear temperature dependence of
thermopower below 150 K is explained by the electron-phonon interaction
renormalization effects. The thermal conductivity is of the order for
intermetallics, larger than that of borocarbides and smaller than . In
the normal state, the electronic contribution to the total thermal conductivity
is slightly larger than the lattice contribution. The transverse
magnetoresistance of is also measured. It is found that the classical
Kohler's rule is valid above 50 K. An electronic crossover occures at , resulting in the abnormal behavior of resistivity, thermopower, and
magnetoresistance below 50 K.Comment: Revised on 12 September 2001, Phys. Rev. B in pres
Array of nanosheets render ultrafast and high-capacity Na-ion storage by tunable pseudocapacitance
Sodium-ion batteries are a potentially low-cost and safe alternative to the prevailing lithium-ion battery technology. However, it is a great challenge to achieve fast charging and high power density for most sodium-ion electrodes because of the sluggish sodiation kinetics. Here we demonstrate a high-capacity and high-rate sodium-ion anode based on ultrathin layered tin(II) sulfide nanostructures, in which a maximized extrinsic pseudocapacitance contribution is identified and verified by kinetics analysis. The graphene foam supported tin(II) sulfide nanoarray anode delivers a high reversible capacity of âŒ1,100âmAhâgâ1 at 30âmAâgâ1 and âŒ420âmAhâgâ1 at 30âAâgâ1, which even outperforms its lithium-ion storage performance. The surface-dominated redox reaction rendered by our tailored ultrathin tin(II) sulfide nanostructures may also work in other layered materials for high-performance sodium-ion storage.Dongliang Chao, Changrong Zhu, Peihua Yang, Xinhui Xia, Jilei Liu, Jin Wang, Xiaofeng Fan, Serguei V.

The Horizontal Component of Photospheric Plasma Flows During the Emergence of Active Regions on the Sun
The dynamics of horizontal plasma flows during the first hours of the
emergence of active region magnetic flux in the solar photosphere have been
analyzed using SOHO/MDI data. Four active regions emerging near the solar limb
have been considered. It has been found that extended regions of Doppler
velocities with different signs are formed in the first hours of the magnetic
flux emergence in the horizontal velocity field. The flows observed are
directly connected with the emerging magnetic flux; they form at the beginning
of the emergence of active regions and are present for a few hours. The Doppler
velocities of flows observed increase gradually and reach their peak values
4-12 hours after the start of the magnetic flux emergence. The peak values of
the mean (inside the +/-500 m/s isolines) and maximum Doppler velocities are
800-970 m/s and 1410-1700 m/s, respectively. The Doppler velocities observed
substantially exceed the separation velocities of the photospheric magnetic
flux outer boundaries. The asymmetry was detected between velocity structures
of leading and following polarities. Doppler velocity structures located in a
region of leading magnetic polarity are more powerful and exist longer than
those in regions of following polarity. The Doppler velocity asymmetry between
the velocity structures of opposite sign reaches its peak values soon after the
emergence begins and then gradually drops within 7-12 hours. The peak values of
asymmetry for the mean and maximal Doppler velocities reach 240-460 m/s and
710-940 m/s, respectively. An interpretation of the observable flow of
photospheric plasma is given.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables. The results of article were presented

4pi Models of CMEs and ICMEs
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which dynamically connect the solar surface to
the far reaches of interplanetary space, represent a major anifestation of
solar activity. They are not only of principal interest but also play a pivotal
role in the context of space weather predictions. The steady improvement of
both numerical methods and computational resources during recent years has
allowed for the creation of increasingly realistic models of interplanetary
CMEs (ICMEs), which can now be compared to high-quality observational data from
various space-bound missions. This review discusses existing models of CMEs,
characterizing them by scientific aim and scope, CME initiation method, and
physical effects included, thereby stressing the importance of fully 3-D
('4pi') spatial coverage.Comment: 14 pages plus references. Comments welcome. Accepted for publication

Confirmation of a pi_1^0 Exotic Meson in the \eta \pi^0 System
The exclusive reaction , at 18 GeV has been studied with a partial wave analysis on a sample
of 23~492 events from BNL experiment E852. A mass-dependent fit
is consistent with a resonant hypothesis for the wave, thus providing
evidence for a neutral exotic meson with , a mass of MeV, and a width of MeV. New
interpretations of the meson exotics in neutral system observed in
E852 and Crystal Barrel experiments are discussed.Comment: p3, rewording the paragraph (at the bottom) about the phase
