Optimization of Concentric Ring Array Geometry for 3D Beam Scanning by Li Zhang, Yong-Chang Jiao, Bo Chen

“…In order to achieve 3D beam scanning with the lowest peak SLL, both the radius and the element spacing of each ring are optimized. Moreover, the aperture size is a very important constraint for the array, since there is an upper limit for the aperture size of a given array in real-life environment. …”

On the Analyticity for the Generalized Quadratic Derivative Complex Ginzburg-Landau Equation by Chunyan Huang

“…For 1/2<α⩽1, we prove the analyticity of local solutions to the (generalized) quadratic derivative Ginzburg-Landau equation with large rough initial data in modulation spaces Mp,11-2α(1⩽p⩽∞). For α=1/2, we obtain the analytic regularity of global solutions to the fractional quadratic derivative Ginzburg-Landau equation with small initial data in B˙∞,10(ℝn)∩M∞,10(ℝn). …”
