They are both prediction- correction methods which use the same inexactness restriction; the only difference is that they use different search directions in the correction steps. This paper also chooses an optimal step size in the two versions of the APPA to improve the profit at each iteration. Analysis also shows that the two APPAs are globally convergent under appropriate assumptions, and we can expect algorithm 2 to get more progress in every iteration than algorithm 1.

Most studies focus on the thin-beds whose top and bottom reflection coefficients are of equal magnitude and opposite polarity. There is no systematic research on the other thin-bed types. In this article, all of the thin-beds are classified into four types: thin-beds with equal magnitude and opposite polarity, thin-beds with unequal magnitude and opposite polarity, thin-beds with equal magnitude and identical polarity, and thin-beds with unequal magnitude and identical polarity. By analytical study, an equation describing the general relationship between seismic peak frequency and thin-bed thickness was derived which shows there is a Complex implicit non-linear relationship between them and which is difficult to use in practice. In order to solve this problem, we simplify the relationship by Taylor expansion and discuss the precision of the approximation formulae with different orders for the four types of thin-beds. Compared with the traditional amplitude method for thin-bed thickness calculation, the method we present has a higher precision and isn't influenced by the absolute value of top or bottom reflection coefficient, so it is convenient for use in practice.展开更多

Since solving the sub-problem exactly in each iteration is costly or sometimes impossible, various approximate versions ofPPA (APPA) are developed for practical applications. In this paper, we compare two APPA methods, both of which can be viewed as prediction-correction methods. The only difference is that they use different search directions in the correction-step. By extending the general forward-backward splitting methods, we obtain Algorithm Ⅰ; in the same way, Algorithm Ⅱ is proposed by spreading the general extra-gradient methods. Our analysis explains theoretically why Algorithm Ⅱ usually outperforms Algorithm Ⅰ. For computation practice, we consider a class of MVI with a special structure, and choose the extending Algorithm Ⅱ to implement, which is inspired by the idea of Gauss-Seidel iteration method making full use of information about the latest iteration. And in particular, self-adaptive techniques are adopted to adjust relevant parameters for faster convergence. Finally, some numerical experiments are reported on the separated MVI. Numerical results showed that the extending Algorithm II is feasible and easy to implement with relatively low computation load.展开更多

This study carried out a series of triaxial compression tests on rock-like specimens with two crossed fractures under negative temperature, concluded the following conclusions. The strength and failure modes of rock mass are significantly influenced by the dips of two crossed fractures. The strength of rock mass with two frac- tures cannot simply be estimated using the method that was developed for the rock mass with a single fracture. When the intersecting angle is less than 30~, the failure plane initiates at the tip of "artificial rup- tures" and extends to the upper and lower ends of the specimen. In case of a higher dip and intersecting angle ranging from 30° to 60°, the failure plane propagates along one of these two fractures. The mechan- lca! parameters of rock mass are not only related to the trace length, but also depend on the trace !ength ratio. One could roughly calculate the strength parameters using the approximation proposed in.this paper..For the rock mass with a trace length ratio 〈0.3 (short trace length/long trace length), the failure mode is dependent on the fracture with a longer trace length. When the trace length becomes significant and the trace length ratio approximates to 1, the failure plane propagates along two fractures, where an X-shaped.failure pattern is presented: For the rock mass with moderate frac!ures and a trace length ratio of approxlmately 1, the failure mode Is.Independent on fractures, which is simllar to .the damage pattern of intact rock. The strength, and elastic .modulus of rock mass decrease with the increase of spacing between fractures, whl!e Polsson's ratio is Independent on the spacing. The failure mode can be deter- mined by the area. of triangle created by two fractures. Damage occurs at the smaller triangle area first, and propagates with the two sides of the larger triangle.展开更多

The numerical results indicate that the quantum entanglement at the first few periods is reduced notably due to the fact that the atom is initially in the superposition state. With increasing field parameter 17, the period of the entanglement evolution becomes obvious and the quantum decoherence phenomenon emerges in a short time.展开更多

By using the two concepts of η-subdifferential and η-proximal mappings of a proper function, the authors try to demonstrate that the system of generalized mixed variational inequalities is equivalence with a fixed point problem. By applying the equivalence, a new and innovative η-proximal point algorithm for finding approximate solutions of the system of generalized mixed variational inequalities will be suggested and analyzed. The authors also study the convergence analysis of the new iterative method under much weaker conditions. The results can be viewed as a refinement and improvement of the previously known results for variational inequalities.展开更多

This postulate is justified by the WKB approximation for calculating the tunneling probability. Based on this postulate, a general formula for the tunneling probability is derived without referring to the concrete form of black hole metric. This formula implies an intrinsic correlation between the successive processes of the black hole radiation of two or more particles. It also suggests a kind of entropy conservation and thus resolves the puzzle of black hole information loss in some sense.展开更多
