The meaning of temperature in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is considered by using a forced harmonic oscillator in a heat bath, where we have two effective temperatures for the position and the momentum, respectively. We propose a concrete model of a thermometer to testify the validity of these different temperatures from the operational point of view. It is found that the measured temperature ...

the present note is devoted to establish some extremal results for the zeroth-order general randi'{c} index of cacti, characterize the extremal polyomino chains with respect to the aforementioned index, and hence to generalize two already reported results.

let $d$ be a digraph with vertex set $v(d)$. for vertex $vin v(d)$, the degree of $v$,denoted by $d(v)$, is defined as the minimum value if its out-degree and its in-degree.now let $d$ be a digraph with minimum degree $deltage 1$ and edge-connectivity$lambda$. if $alpha$ is real number, then the zeroth-order general randic index is definedby $sum_{xin v(d)}(d(x))^{alpha}$. a digraph is maximall...

In this paper, we propose a class of penalty methods with stochastic approximation for solving stochastic nonlinear programming problems. We assume that only noisy gradients or function values of the objective function are available via calls to a stochastic first-order or zeroth-order oracle. In each iteration of the proposed methods, we minimize an exact penalty function which is nonsmooth an...

Asynchronous parallel optimization received substantial successes and extensive attention recently. One of core theoretical questions is how much speedup (or benefit) the asynchronous parallelization can bring to us. This paper provides a comprehensive and generic analysis to study the speedup property for a broad range of asynchronous parallel stochastic algorithms from the zeroth order to the...

The Rayleigh limit of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT) has been recently examined in case off-axis circularly symmetric Bessel beams, thereafter on-axis providing an easier framework for understanding optical forces exerted GLMT. This work is here extended to non dark axisymmetric beams first kind encompasses zeroth-order and localized models Gaussian beams. Three kinds are exhibited, n...

Let D be a digraph with vertex set V(D) .For vertex v V(D), the degree of v, denoted by d(v), is defined as the minimum value if its out-degree  and its in-degree .

The size consistency of multi-reference Møller-Plesset perturbation theory as a function of the structure of the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is studied. In calculations it is shown that the choice of projection operators to define the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is crucial. In essence whenever such a projection operator can be written as the sum of projection operators onto particular subspaces, cros...

For compact Riemannian manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed (aka Zoll manifolds) one can define the determinant of a zeroth order pseudodifferential operator by mimicking Szego’s definition of this determinant for the operator: multiplication by a bounded function, on the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on the circle. In this paper we prove that the non-local contribution to...
