چکیده

Amongst the two-dimensional cellular patterns that fill a plane, dry foams at stable equilibrium typify a particular subset for which the total perimeter P of cell boundaries ( i.e., films between bubbles) has a local minimum. For a given set of bubble areas Ai (i=1,..., N), P can be written in the form P=R(SigmaN(i=1) square root Ai)/2, where R is topology dependent. We seek the set of areas Ai and the cluster topology that minimise R, and propose lower bounds for R that set lower bounds for the surface energy of i) individual bubbles, with circular edges meeting at 2pi/3 angles at vertices (Plateau cells), and ii) infinite periodic bubble clusters.

A note on the bounds of Laplacian-energy-like-invariant

The Laplacian-energy-like of a simple connected graph G is defined as LEL:=LEL(G)=∑_(i=1)^n√(μ_i ), Where μ_1 (G)≥μ_2 (G)≥⋯≥μ_n (G)=0 are the Laplacian eigenvalues of the graph G. Some upper and lower bounds for LEL are presented in this note. Moreover, throughout this work, some results related to lower bound of spectral radius of graph are obtained using the term of ΔG as the num...

Thermal-insulation performance of low density polyethylene (LDPE) foams: Comparison between two radiation thermal conductivity models

The loss of energy especially in industrial and residential buildings is one of the main reasons of increased energy consumption. Improving the thermal insulation properties of materials is a fundamental method for reducing the energy losses. Polymeric foams are introduced as materials with excellent thermal insulation properties for this purpose. In the present study, a deep theoretical invest...

On Zagreb Energy and edge-Zagreb energy

In this paper, we obtain some upper and lower bounds for the general extended energy of a graph. As an application, we obtain few bounds for the (edge) Zagreb energy of a graph. Also, we deduce a relation between Zagreb energy and edge-Zagreb energy of a graph $G$ with minimum degree $delta ge2$. A lower and upper bound for the spectral radius of the edge-Zagreb matrix is obtained. Finally, we ...
