Minimizing Rational Functions by Exact Jacobian SDP Relaxation Applicable to Finite Singularities
This paper considers the optimization problem of minimizing a rational
function. We reformulate this problem as polynomial optimization by the
technique of homogenization. These two problems are shown to be equivalent
under some generic conditions. The exact Jacobian SDP relaxation method
proposed by Nie is used to solve the resulting polynomial optimization. We also
prove that the assumption of nonsingularity in Nie's method can be weakened as
the finiteness of singularities. Some numerical examples are given to
illustrate the efficiency of our method.Comment: 23 page
Multiparty quantum secret splitting and quantum state sharing
A protocol for multiparty quantum secret splitting is proposed with an
ordered EPR pairs and Bell state measurements. It is secure and has the
high intrinsic efficiency and source capacity as almost all the instances are
useful and each EPR pair carries two bits of message securely. Moreover, we
modify it for multiparty quantum state sharing of an arbitrary -particle
entangled state based on quantum teleportation with only Bell state
measurements and local unitary operations which make this protocol more
convenient in a practical application than others.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure. The revision of the manuscript appeared in PLA.

Fractal and multifractal properties of a family of fractal networks
In this work, we study the fractal and multifractal properties of a family of
fractal networks introduced by Gallos {\it et al.} ({\it Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
U.S.A.}, 2007, {\bf 104}: 7746). In this fractal network model, there is a
parameter which is between and , and allows for tuning the level of
fractality in the network. Here we examine the multifractal behavior of these
networks, dependence relationship of fractal dimension and the multifractal
parameters on the parameter . First, we find that the empirical fractal
dimensions of these networks obtained by our program coincide with the
theoretical formula given by Song {\it et al.} ( {\it Nat. Phys}, 2006, {\bf
2}: 275). Then from the shape of the and curves, we find the
existence of multifractality in these networks. Last, we find that there exists
a linear relationship between the average information dimension and
the parameter .Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, accepted by J. Stat. Mec
