On the Nonexistence of Partial Difference Sets by Projections to Finite Fields

In the study of(partial)difference sets and their generalizations in groups G,the most widely used method is to translate their definition into an equation over group ring Z[G]and to investigate this equation by applying complex representations of G.In this paper,we investigate the existence of(partial)difference sets in a different way.We project the group ring equations in Z[G]to Z[N]where N is a quotient group of G isomorphic to the additive group of a finite field,and then use polynomials over this finite field to derive some existence conditions.

Linear Quadratic Optimal Control for Systems Governed by First-Order Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations

This paper focuses on linear-quadratic(LQ)optimal control for a class of systems governed by first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations(PDEs).Different from most of the previous works,an approach of discretization-then-continuousization is proposed in this paper to cope with the infinite-dimensional nature of PDE systems.The contributions of this paper consist of the following aspects:(1)The differential Riccati equations and the solvability condition of the LQ optimal control problems are obtained via the discretization-then-continuousization method.(2)A numerical calculation way of the differential Riccati equations and a practical design way of the optimal controller are proposed.Meanwhile,the relationship between the optimal costate and the optimal state is established by solving a set of forward and backward partial difference equations(FBPDEs).(3)The correctness of the method used in this paper is verified by a complementary continuous method and the comparative analysis with the existing operator results is presented.It is shown that the proposed results not only contain the classic results of the standard LQ control problem of systems governed by ordinary differential equations as a special case,but also support the existing operator results and give a more convenient form of computation.

Constructing Pandiagonal Snowflake Magic Squares of Odd Order

The constructional methods of pandiagonal snowflake magic squares of orders 4m are established in paper [3]. In this paper, the constructional methods of pandiagonal snowflake magic squares of odd orders n are established with n = 6m+l, 6m+5 and 6m+3, m is an odd positive integer and m is an even positive integer 9|6m + 3. It is seen that the number sets for constructing pandiagonal snowflake magic squares can be extended to the matrices with symmetric partial difference in each direction for orders 6m + 1 , 6m + 5; to the trisection matrices with symmetric partial difference in each direction for order 6m + 3.

New Partial Geometric Difference Sets and Partial Geometric Difference Families

Using Galois rings and Galois fields, we construct several infinite classes of partial geometric difference sets, and partial geometric difference families, with new parameters. Furthermore, these partial geometric difference sets(and partial geometric difference families) correspond to new infinite families of directed strongly regular graphs. We also discuss some of the links between partially balanced designs, 2-adesigns(which were recently coined by Cunsheng Ding in "Codes from Difference Sets"(2015)), and partial geometric designs, and make an investigation into when a 2-adesign is a partial geometric design.

Stability analysis of concrete gravity dam on complicated foundation with multiple slide planes

A key problem in gravity dam design is providing enough stability to prevent slide, and the difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in the dam foundation. Overload and material weakening were taken into account, and a .finite difference strength reserve method with partial safety factors based on the reliability method was developed and used to study the anti-slide stability of a concrete gravity dam on a complicated foundation with multiple slide planes. Possible slide paths were obtained, and the stability of the foundation with possible failure planes was evaluated through analysis of the stress distribution characteristics. The results reveal the mechanism and process of sliding due to weak structural planes and their deformations, and provide a reference for anti-slide stability analysis of gravity dams in complicated geological conditions.

Rapid recognition of Chinese herbal pieces of Areca catechu by different concocted processes using Fourier transform mid-infrared and near-infrared spectroscopy combined with partial least-squares discriminant analysis

Rapid and sensitive recognition of herbal pieces according to different concocted processing is crucial to quality control and pharmaceutical effect. Near-infrared （NIR） and mid-infrared （MIR） technology combined with supervised pattern recognition based on partial least-squares discriminant analysis （PLSDA） was attempted to classify and recognize six different concocted processing pieces of 600 Areca catechu L. samples and the influence of fingerprint information preprocessing methods on recognition performance was also investigated in this work. Recognition rates of 99.24%, 100% and 99.49% for original fingerprint, multiple scatter correct （MSC） fingerprint and second derivative （2nd derivative） fingerprint of NIR spectra were achieved by PLSDA models, respectively. Meanwhile, a perfect recognition rate of 100% was obtained for the above three fingerprint models of MIR spectra. In conclusion, PLSDA can rapidly and effectively extract otherness of fingerprint information from NIR and MIR spectra to identify different concocted herbal pieces ofA. catechu.

ON THE DIVIDED DIFFERENCE FORM OF FAA DI BRUNO＇S FORMULA Ⅱ

In this paper, we consider the higher divided difference of a composite function f（g（t）） in which g（t） is an s-dimensional vector. By exploiting some properties from mixed partial divided differences and multivariate Newton interpolation, we generalize the divided difference form of Faà di Bruno＇s formula with a scalar argument. Moreover, a generalized Faà di Bruno＇s formula with a vector argument is derived.

Optimal linear estimator for discrete-time systems with random delays

In this paper, optimal estimation for discrete-time linear time-varying systems with randomly state and measurement delays is considered. By introducing a set of binary random variables, the system is converted into the one with both multiplicative noises and constant delays. Then, an estimator which includes the cases of smoothing and filter- ing, is derived via the projection formula, and the solution is given in terms of a partial difference Riccati equation with boundary conditions. A predictor for such systems is also presented based on the proposed filter and smoother. The ob- tained estimators have the same dimension as the original state. Conditions for existence, uniqueness, and stability of the steady-state optimal estimators are studied for time-invariant cases. In this case, the obtained estimators are very easy to implement and all calculations can be performed off line, leading to a linear time-invariant estimator.
