A model for semiconductor quantum dot molecule based on the current spin density functional theory

Based on the current spin density functional theory, a theoretical model of three vertically aligned semiconductor quantum dots is proposed and numerically studied. This quantum dot molecule (QDM) model is treated with realistic hard-wall confinement potential and external magnetic field in three-dimensional setting. Using the effective-mass approximation with band nonparabolicity, the many-body Hamiltonian results in a cubic eigenvalue problem from a finite difference discretization. A self-consistent algorithm for solving the Schrödinger-Poisson system by using the Jacobi-Davidson method and GMRES is given to illustrate the Kohn-Sham orbitals and energies of six electrons in the molecule with some magnetic fields. It is shown that the six electrons residing in the central dot at zero magnetic field can be changed to such that each dot contains two electrons with some feasible magnetic field. The Förster-Dexter resonant energy transfer may therefore be generated by two individual QDMs. This may motivate a new paradigm of Fermionic qubits for quantum computing in solid-state systems.     

A Least Squares Approach to Escalator Algorithms for Adaptive Filtering

In this paper, we introduce an escalator (ESC) algorithm based on the least squares (LS) criterion. The proposed algorithm is relatively insensitive to the eigenvalue spread ratio (ESR) of an input signal and has a faster convergence speed than the conventional ESC algorithms. This algorithm exploits the fast adaptation ability of least squares methods and the orthogonalization property of the ESC structure. From the simulation results, the proposed algorithm shows superior convergence performance.     

Taxometrics in Psychopathology Research: An Introduction to Some of the Procedures and Related Methodological Issues.

This article introduces a special section on the use of taxometrics to examine the categorical versus the dimensional structure of various forms of psychopathology. Paving the way into the special section, this introduction briefly describes 3 taxometric methods--mean above minus below a sliding cut (MAMBAC), maximum covariation (MAXCOV), and maximum eigenvalue (MAXEIG)--and discusses possible threats to statistical conclusion validity that often emerge when such techniques are applied in psychopathology research.

Bandpass filters using periodically loaded combline resonators

A novel combline filter is proposed for cellular‐radio base stations. The Q‐factor is significantly improved. The eigenvalue equation is expressed with the single‐team approximation in the gap region of the combline resonator. A two‐pole combline filter is designed. The calculation, simulation, and experiment results are presented and are in good agreement. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2006.     

Numerical solution of the kinematic dynamo problem for Beltrami flows in a sphere

The article discusses computational aspects of the kinematic problem of magnetic field generation by a Beltrami flow in a sphere. Galerkin's method is applied with a functional basis consisting of Laplace operator eigenfunctions. Dominant eigenvalues of the magnetic induction operator and associated magnetic eigenmodes are obtained numerically for a certain Beltrami flow for magnetic Reynolds numbers up to 100. The eigenvalue problem is solved by a highly optimized iterative procedure, which is quite general and can be applied to numerical treatment of arbitrary linear stability problems.     

利用独立分量分析法去除地震噪声

 独立分量分析（ICA）作为盲源分离（BSS）的一种新方法,是分解观测数据中独立信息的有力工具。以往的ICA算法一般假设噪声可以忽略不计，而实际的观测数据中又常常包含一些加性噪声。对于加性噪声的影响不能忽略的情况下，改进的ICA算法首先利用非零时间滞后协方差，应用两步特征值分解法(EVD)可成功地去除部分加性噪声的影响；再利用ICA算法就能更好地分离出原信号。本文通过对地震理论模型和实际资料的试验，说明改进的ICA算法能够有效地克服加性噪声对常规ICA算法的影响，能够分离出地震资料中的有效信号，从而实现利用独立分量分析压制地震资料噪声的目的。     

北京市危旧房改造的多目标分解模式

由于政府、居民、开发商之间复杂的博弈,北京市1990年提出的综合性危改目标遇到了很大的挑战,为解决这一问题,本文提出危旧房改造的目标分解模式,即建立一个以危改区域或危改项目为导向的危改目标实现框架,将北京市危旧房改造的多重目标进行分解,然后制定相应的分目标政策,建立相应的分目标制度,采取相应的分目标措施,最终从总体上实现危旧房改造的目标,主导目标的确定应遵循四个基本原则,最后提出几个政策建议。

Equivalent Conditions for Convergence of Splittings of Non-Hermitian Indefinite Matrices

We present some sufficient and necessary conditions for convergent splitting of a non-Hermitian indefinite matrix. Some sufficient conditions to determinate a matrix with a (strongly) dominant symmetric part for a class of boundary value problem are also obtained. These results are applicable to identify the convergence of iterative methods for solving large sparse systems of linear equations.
