The rainbow vertex...A vertex-colored graph G is said to be rainbow vertex-connected if every two vertices of G are connected by a path whose internal vertices have distinct colors, such a path is called a rainbow path. The rainbow vertex-connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by rvc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow vertex-connected. If for every pair u, v of distinct vertices, G contains a rainbow u-v geodesic, then G is strong rainbow vertex-connected. The minimum number k for which there exists a k-vertex-coloring of G that results in a strongly rainbow vertex-connected graph is called the strong rainbow vertex-connection number of G, denoted by srvc(G). Observe that rvc(G) ≤ srvc(G) for any nontrivial connected graph G. In this paper, for a Ladder L_n,we determine the exact value of srvc(L_n) for n even. For n odd, upper and lower bounds of srvc(L_n) are obtained. We also give upper and lower bounds of the(strong) rainbow vertex-connection number of Mbius Ladder.展开更多

A spring-dashpot fractal network with the self-similar topology, named the -type fractal ladder hyper-cell (FLHC), is abstracted from the micro/nano-structure of ligaments and tendons (LTs). Its constitutive operator is derived by the Heaviside operational calculus, which is of intrinsic fractional order. In terms of this operator, the long-term viscoelastic relaxation of bio-fibres arising from the fractal ladder topology is expounded. In addition, the fractional-order viscoelastic constitutive equation is obtained based on the FLHC of LTs, and its results are consistent with those of available human knee and spinal LT relaxation experiments. Results on the constitutive equation of FLHCs are formulated into two propositions. The multidisciplinary invariance and implications from the fractal ladder pattern of bio-fibres are also discussed.展开更多

The model originates from the brick-wall lattices in the two-row limit. The Hamiltonian can be brought into block off-diagonal form and the winding number can be defined with the determine of the block off-diagonal matrix. We find the determine of the offdiagonal matrix has nothing to do with the interleg hopping of the ladder. So the topological phases of the model are the same as those of the chains. Further numerical simulations verify the analysis.展开更多

It find that the absorption properties of this system with the probe field applied on the lower transition can be significantly modified if this coherence is optimized. In the case of small spontaneous decay rate in the upper excited state, it finds that such coherence does not destroy the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Nevertheless, the absorption peak on both sides of zero detuning and the linewidth of absorption line become larger and narrower than those in the case corresponding to the effects of spontaneously induced coherence; while in the case of large decay rate, it finds that, instead of EIT with low resonant absorption, a sharp absorption peak at resonance appears. That is, electromagnetically induced absorption in the nearly equispaced ladder-type system can occur due to such coherent effects.展开更多

The influence of blank holder pressure (BHP) on the formability of sheet metal was investigated. It was found that lower BHP does benefit to the distribution of thickness both with VPF and with solid punch forming. The forming force needed in VPF is bigger than that of with solid punch forming at the same stroke. The distribution of thickness with VPF is more uniform than that of with solid punch forming. Compared with solid punch forming, the damage values of workpiece at the top convex corner are lower by VPF. It was also shown that fracture tendency could be reduced with VPF, so that means the formability is improved. At the same time, aluminum alloy ladder bowl was manufactured with VPF. The results show that the simulation results are in agreement with the experimental data very well.展开更多
