Non-Abelian (Hyperscaling Violating) Lifshitz Black Holes in General Dimensions
We consider Einstein gravities coupled to a cosmological constant and
multiple Yang-Mills fields in general dimensions and find that the
theories admit colored Lifshitz solutions with dynamic exponents . We also
introduce a Maxwell field and construct exact electric charged black holes that
asymptote to the colored Lifshitz spacetimes and analyse their
thermodynamical first law. Furthermore, we introduce a dilaton to the system
and construct Lifshitz spacetimes with hyperscaling violations. After turning
on the Maxwell field, we obtain a class of hyperscaling violating Lifshitz
black holes when .Comment: Latex, 12 pages, a published version in PL
An Integrated Method Based on PSO and EDA for the Max-Cut Problem
The max-cut problem is NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with many real world applications. In this paper, we propose an integrated method based on particle swarm optimization and estimation of distribution algorithm (PSO-EDA) for solving the max-cut problem. The integrated algorithm overcomes the shortcomings of particle swarm optimization and estimation of distribution algorithm. To enhance the performance of the PSO-EDA, a fast local search procedure is applied. In addition, a path relinking procedure is developed to intensify the search. To evaluate the performance of PSO-EDA, extensive experiments were carried out on two sets of benchmark instances with 800 to 20000 vertices from the literature. Computational results and comparisons show that PSO-EDA significantly outperforms the existing PSO-based and EDA-based algorithms for the max-cut problem. Compared with other best performing algorithms, PSO-EDA is able to find very competitive results in terms of solution quality
Godel Metrics with Chronology Protection in Horndeski Gravities
G\"odel universe, one of the most interesting exact solutions predicted by
General Relativity, describes a homogeneous rotating universe containing naked
closed time-like curves (CTCs). It was shown that such CTCs are the consequence
of the null energy condition in General Relativity. In this paper, we show that
the G\"odel-type metrics with chronology protection can emerge in
Einstein-Horndeski gravity. We construct such exact solutions also in
Einstein-Horndeski-Maxwell and Einstein-Horndeski-Proca theories.Comment: Latex, 11 pages, references adde
