Minimum Moment Aberration Majorization in Non-isomorphic Asymmetrical Saturated Designs ZHOU Yong-Dao, LIU Yao-Mei Acta mathematica scientia,Series A. 2009, 29 (5):  1145-1152.  Abstract ( 1446 )   RICH HTML   PDF (457KB) ( 1353 )   Save For distinguishing non-isomorphic orthogonal saturated designs, Fang and Zhang[2]proposed the minimum aberration majorization approach to distinguish non-isomorphic symmetrical orthogonal saturated designs. However, their method can not distinguish the asymmetrical cases. In this paper, the authors consider the criterion of minimum moment aberration majorization (MMAM) and extend the results in [2]. On the basis of  this criterion, a new algorithm is given to detect the non-isomorphism of both symmetrical and asymmetrical designs. Examples show the MMAM approach is useful for distinguishing non-isomorphic saturated designs. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Parameter Identification for a Model of Tumor Growth in the Presence of Inhibitors TAO You-Shan, BIAN Bao-Jun Acta mathematica scientia,Series A. 2009, 29 (5):  1175-1186.  Abstract ( 1941 )   RICH HTML   PDF (381KB) ( 1187 )   Save In this paper, the authors consider a model of tumor growth in the presence of inhibitors. The tumor is assumed to be spherically symmetric and its surface is a moving boundary denoted by a function r=R(t). Since multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) are routinely used as in vitro models of cancer growth and they can be observed and controlled in the laboratory, the authors study the following inverse problem: Given observed dynamics of MTS growth (i.e., given R(t)), the authors determine the inhibitor's parameter. The authors first prove the uniqueness of solution to the inverse parabolic problem by the maximum principle. Then the authors develop an optimal control framework for studying the reconstruction of the inhibitor's parameter. The authors prove the existence of solution to the optimal control problem, and the authors derive the necessary optimality conditions which have to be satisfied by each optimal control.

A graphic sequence π =(d_1,d_2,\cdots ,d_n) is said to be potentially K r+1-graphic if there exists a realization of π containing K r+1 as a subgraph. In this paper, we further investigate a number of new conditions for π to be potentially K r+1-graphic, which imply some previous results in [14,10,11] and the values of σ(K r+1, n) for n ≥ 5r/2 +1, which was conjectured in [2] and was confirmed in [6,7,8,3].
