This work is devoted to deriving the Onsager-Machlup function for a class of stochastic dynamical systems under (non-Gaussian) Lévy noise as well as (Gaussian) Brownian noise, and examining the corresponding most...

To reduce computational cost,we study some two-scale finite element approximations on sparse grids for elliptic partial differential equations of second order in a general *** any tensor product domain ?R^d with d = 2,3,we construct the two-scale finite element approximations for both boundary value and eigenvalue problems by using a Boolean sum of some existing finite element approximations on a coarse grid and some univariate fine grids and hence they are cheaper *** applications,we obtain some new efficient finite element discretizations for the two classes of problem:The new two-scale finite element approximation on a sparse grid not only has the less degrees of freedom but also achieves a good accuracy of approximation.
The interval subset sum problem (ISSP) is a generalization of the well-known subset sum problem. Given a set of intervals {[ai,1, ai,2]}ni=1 and a target integer T, the ISSP is to find a set of integers, at most one f...

In anion exchange membrane fuel cells, catalytic reactions occur at a well-defined three-phase interface, wherein conventional heterogeneous catalyst layer structures exacerbate problems, such as low catalyst utilization and limited mass transfer. We developed a structural engineering strategy to immobilize a molecular catalyst tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II) (TMPPCo) on the side chains of an ionomer (polyfluorene, PF) to obtain a composite material (PF-TMPPCo), thereby achieving a homogeneous catalysis environment inside ion-flow channels, with greatly improved mass transfer and turnover frequency as a result of 100 % utilization of the catalyst molecules. The unique structure of the homogeneous catalysis system comprising interconnected nanoreactors exhibits advantages of low overpotential and high fuel-cell power density. This strategy of reshaping of the catalyst layer structure may serve as a new platform for applications of many molecular catalysts in fuel cells.

Modeling of biomolecular systems plays an essential role in understanding biological processes, such as ionic flow across channels, protein modification or interaction, and cell signaling. The continuum model described by the Poisson- Boltzmann (PB)/Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations has made great contributions towards simulation of these pro- cesses. However, the model has shortcomings in its commonly used form and cannot capture (or cannot accurately capture) some important physical properties of the biological systems. Considerable efforts have been made to improve the con- tinuum model to account for discrete particle interactions and to make progress in numerical methods to provide accurate and efficient simulations. This review will summarize recent main improvements in continuum modeling for biomolecu- lar systems, with focus on the size-modified models, the coupling of the classical density functional theory and the PNP equations, the coupling of polar and nonpolar interactions, and numerical progress.
