Branched continued fractions with not equivalent variables are an analog of the regular C-fractions for multiple power series. We consider 1-periodic branched continued fraction of the special form which is an analog fraction with not equivalent variables if the values of that variables are fixed. We establish an analog of the parabola theorem for that fraction and estimate truncation error bounds for that fractions at some restrictions. We also propose to use weight coefficients for obtaining different parabolic regions for the same fraction without any additional restriction for first element.展开更多

And equivalent identities are also obtained between interpolated functions and bivariate continued fractions. Secondly, by means of three-term recurrence relations for continued fractions, the characterization theorem is presented to study on the degrees of the numerators and denominators of the interpolating continued fractions. Thirdly, some numerical examples show it feasible for the novel recursive schemes. Meanwhile, compared with the degrees of the numera- tors and denominators of bivariate Thiele-typed interpolating continued fractions, those of the new bivariate interpolating continued fractions are much low, respectively, due to the reduc- tion of redundant interpolating nodes. Finally, the operation count for the rational function interpolation is smaller than that for radial basis function interpolation.展开更多

Experimental study was performed for different mixes of concrete. To avoid considering the effect of variation of Poisson＇s ratio, the one-dimensional ultrasonic technique was adopted to detect the modulus development of concrete under continued hydration. The experimental results indicate the nonlinear characteristics of density and modulus evolution. At the initial stage of continued hydration, the density and modulus increase quickly, and then the increases slow down and finally tend to be constant. The mechanism of modulus enhancement is that the newly produced C-S-H gel in the continued hydration process not only leads to the decrease in porosity, but also repairs the initial defects of concrete. Based on this mechanism, simple differential equations for the density and modulus development of concrete were established by considering the chemical reactions of continued hydration, and new simple models for density and modulus development were proposed.展开更多

We demonstrate that the linking matrices of these graph manifolds coincide with the reduced matrices obtained from the Laplacian block matrices by means of Gauss partial diagonalization procedure described explicitly by W. Neumann. The linking matrix is an important topological invariant of a graph manifold which is possible to interpret as a matrix of coupling constants of gauge interaction in Kaluza-Klein approach, where 3-dimensional graph manifold plays the role of internal space in topological 7-dimensional BF theory. The Gauss-Neumann method gives us a simple algorithm to calculate the linking matrices of graph manifolds and thus the coupling constants matrices.展开更多
