Improved neural heuristics for multicast routing

Future networks must be adequately equipped to handle multipoint communication in a fast and economical manner. Services requiring such support include desktop video conferencing, tele-classrooms, distributed database applications, etc. In networks employing the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology, routing a multicast is achieved by constructing a minimum cost tree that spans the source and all the destinations. When the network is modeled as a weighted, undirected graph, the problem is that of finding a minimal Steiner tree for the graph, given a set of destinations. The problem is known to be NP-complete. Consequently, several heuristics exist which provide approximate solutions to the Steiner problem in networks, We show how the random neural network (RNN) can be used to significantly improve the quality of the Steiner trees delivered by the best available heuristics which are the minimum spanning tree heuristic and the average distance heuristic. We provide an empirical comparison and find that the heuristics which are modified using the neural network yield significantly improved trees     

Closed-form solutions for one-dimensional inhomogeneous anisotropicmedium in a special case. II. Inverse scattering problem

For pt. I see ibid., vol.45, no.5, p.936, 1997. An analytical method is presented for the inverse scattering problem of a one-dimensional (1-D) inhomogeneous anisotropic medium in a special case. Using the closed-form formulations for the reflection coefficients derived in the first part of this paper, reconstruction formulas are obtained for the wave impedance profiles, permittivity profiles or permeability profiles of the anisotropic medium, all of which are given in closed form. In the meantime, a partial inverse scattering method for the electric parameters at the interface of the medium with free space is also investigated by using a Wedtzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation. Numerical examples show the validity of the methods

Carbon Nanotube‐Encapsulated Noble Metal Nanoparticle Hybrid as a Cathode Material for Li‐Oxygen Batteries

Although Li‐oxygen batteries offer extremely high theoretical specific energy, their practical application still faces critical challenges. One of the main obstacles is the high charge overpotential caused by sluggish kinetics of charge transfer that is closely related to the morphology of discharge products and their distribution on the cathode. Here, a series of noble metal nanoparticles (Pd, Pt, Ru and Au) are encapsulated inside end‐opened carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by wet impregnation followed by thermal annealing. The resultant cathode materials exhibit a dramatic reduction of charge overpotentials compared to their counterparts with nanoparticles supported on CNT surface. Notably, the charge overpotential can be as low as 0.3 V when CNT‐encapsulated Pd nanoparticles are used on the cathode. The cathode also shows good stability during discharge–charge cycling. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that encapsulation of “guest” noble metal nanoparticles in “host” CNTs is able to strengthen the electron density on CNT surfaces, and to avoid the regional enrichment of electron density caused by the direct exposure of nanoparticles on CNT surface. These unique properties ensure the uniform coverage of Li₂O₂ nanocrystals on CNT surfaces instead of localized distribution of Li₂O₂ aggregation, thus providing efficient charge transfer for the decomposition of Li₂O₂.

The Capacity Region of the Degraded Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Compound Broadcast Channel

The capacity region of a compound multiple-antenna broadcast channel is characterized when the users exhibit a certain degradedness order. The channel under consideration has two users, each user has a finite set of possible realizations. The transmitter transmits two messages, one for each user, in such a manner that regardless of the actual realizations, both users will be able to decode their messages correctly. An alternative view of this channel is that of a broadcast channel with two common messages, each common message is intended to a different set of users. The degradedness order between the two sets of realizations/users is defined through an additional, fictitious, user whose channel is degraded with respect to all realizations/users from one set while all realizations/users from the other set are degraded with respect to him.     

Template-Sacrificed Hot Fusion Construction and Nanoseed Modification of 3D Porous Copper Nanoscaffold Host for Stable-Cycling Lithium Metal Anodes

Lithium (Li) metal anodes have been proposed as a promising candidate for high-energy-density electrode materials in secondary batteries. However, the dendrite growth and unstable electrode–electrolyte interfaces during Li plating/stripping are fatal to their practical applications. Herein, the construction of 3D porous Au/Cu nanoscaffold prepared via a convenient template-sacrificed hot fusion construction method and a nanoseed modification process as an effective Li metal hosting material are proposed. The Au/Cu nanoscaffold can spatially guide uniform deposition of Li metal free from the growth of Li dendrites due to the homogenous Li⁺ ion flux and negligible nucleation overpotential. Moreover, the Cu skeleton can relieve volume change and stabilize local current density during cycling processes. Benefiting from these advantages, the symmetric cells based on self-supported Li-filled Au/Cu (Li-Au/Cu) nanoscaffold electrodes present highly stable Li plating/stripping for more than 1000 h with a low voltage hysteresis less than 90 mV and a long lifespan over 1300 h at 1.0 mA cm^–2 in carbonate-based electrolytes. Impressively, the Li-Au/Cu nanoscaffold||LiFePO₄ full cells also exhibit exceptional cycling stability and rate performance. This work provides a promising strategy to construct dendrite-free lithium metal anodes toward high-performance lithium metal batteries.
