Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

New opportunities have appeared in the scientific research and applications of dynamic systems involving artificial intelligence or quantum computing.  Both are mixed in classical computation, leading to new concepts, methods, and approaches. New relations link abstract or physical entities, often beyond human understanding.

High-speed information transfer and communication benefit from new technology, leading to new support for dynamic systems. 

The newly conceived theories should involve different approaches for their validation, but these have to be generally approved and accepted by scientific societies. These theories can be applied to practical applications, but they need new, clear specifications and requirements for this purpose.

There is a gap between the complex mathematical techniques that sustain the new theories and their potential practical applications. The expected contributions can cover this gap for the benefit of the entire research community.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Enumerating the extremal submodular functions defined on subsets of a fixed base set has only been done for base sets up to five elements. This paper reports the results of attempting to generate all such functions on a six-element base set. Using improved tools from polyhedral geometry, we have computed 360 billion of them, and provide the first reasonable estimate of their total number, which is expected to be between 1000 and 10,000 times this number. The applied Double Description and Adjacency Decomposition methods require an insertion order of the defining inequalities. We introduce two novel orders, which speed up the computations significantly, and provide additional insight into the highly symmetric structure of submodular functions. We also present an improvement to the combinatorial test used as part of the Double Description method, and use statistical analyses to estimate the degeneracy of the polyhedral cone used to describe these functions. The statistical results also highlight the limitations of the applied methods. Full article

In the proposed scheme, only three Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZMs) in cascaded mode are employed to generate a frequency 12-tupling millimeter wave (mm-wave) signal. In order to eventually get the frequency 12-tupling mm-wave signal, it is necessary to generate ±6th order harmonics. Therefore, the next work is to generate pure ±6th order optical sidebands to obtain a high-quality frequency 12-tupling signal. First of all, by adjusting the MZM bias voltage at peak point to suppress odd order sidebands; then, by controlling the phase differences to cancel even order sidebands except for the (6n)th order; lastly, by setting the modulation index to eliminate the 0th order optical carrier. Based on the above, the pure ±6th order optical harmonics are obtained. Moreover, the feasibility of the scheme has been demonstrated through a simulation. The optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) and radio frequency spurious suppression ratio (RFSSR) of the generated signal are 59.45 dB and 44.44 dB, respectively. In the end, the non-ideal factors that will affect the signal quality are also analyzed. Full article
