It includes complete information on the experimental input data (including not used and rejected ones), as well as details on the evaluation procedures used to derive the tables with recommended values given in the second part. This article describes the evaluation philosophy and procedures that were implemented in the selection of specific nuclear reaction, decay and mass-spectrometer results. These input values were entered in the least-squares adjustment procedure for determining the best values for the atomic masses and their uncertainties. Calculation procedures and particularities of the AME are then described. All accepted and rejected data, including outweighed ones, are presented in a tabular format and compared with the adjusted values (obtained using the adjustment procedure). Differences with the previous AME2003 evaluation are also discussed and specific information is presented for several cases that may be of interest to various AME users. The second AME2012 article, the last one in this issue, gives a table with recommended values of atomic masses, as well as tables and graphs of derived quantifies, along with the list of references used in both this AME2012 evaluation and the NUBASE2012 one (the first paper in this issue).展开更多

First, for a group of single-integrator agents, the controllability is studied in a unified framework for both networks with leader-following structure and networks with undirected graph. Some new necessary/sufficient conditions for the controllability of networks of single-integrator agents are established. Second, we prove that, under the same topology and same prescribed leaders, a network of high-order dynamic agents is completely controllable if and only if so is a network of single-integrator agents. Third, how the selection of leaders and the coupling weights of graphs affect the controllability is analyzed. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.展开更多

It is shown that if G has nilpotent class 2, then the automorphism group Ant(X) of X is isomorphic to the semidirect product GR x Ant(G,S), where GR is the right regular representation of G and Aut(G,S) is the subgroup of the automorphism group Aut(G) of G which fixes S setwise. However the result is not true if G has nilpotent class 3 and this paper provides a counterexample.展开更多

文摘Let G be a p-group (p odd prime) and let X = Cay(G, S) be a 4-valent connected Cayley graph. It is shown that if G has nilpotent class 2, then the automorphism group Ant(X) of X is isomorphic to the semidirect product GR x Ant(G,S), where GR is the right regular representation of G and Aut(G,S) is the subgroup of the automorphism group Aut(G) of G which fixes S setwise. However the result is not true if G has nilpotent class 3 and this paper provides a counterexample.
