Indefinite integrals of some special functions from a new method
2015
A substantial number of indefinite integrals of special functions are presented, which have been obtained using a new method presented in a companion paper [Conway JT. A Lagrangian method for deriving new indefinite integrals of special functions. Integral Transforms Spec Funct. 2015; submitted to]. The method was originally derived from the Euler–Lagrange equations but an elementary proof is also presented in [Conway JT. A Lagrangian method for deriving new indefinite integrals of special functions. Integral Transforms Spec Funct. 2015; submitted to]. Sample results are presented here for Bessel functions, Airy functions and hypergeometric functions. More extensive results are given for th…
A free boundary problem stemmed from combustion theory. Part II: Stability, instability and bifurcation results
2002
AbstractWe deal with a free boundary problem, depending on a real parameter λ, in a infinite strip in R2, providing stability, instability and bifurcation.
Optical Bistability and Switching in Oppositely Directed Coupler
2016
We report the optical bistability in two core oppositely directed coupler with negative index material channel. Using Langrangian variational method and Jacobi elliptic functions, we construct the solutions of the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The bistability arises due to the effective feedback mechanism as a result of opposite directionality of the phase velocity and energy flow in the negative index material channel. We report the various ways to control and manipulate the bistability threshold and hysteresis loop, which could be useful in the design and development of fast and low-threshold optical switches.

Centrality dependence of multiplicity, transverse energy, and elliptic flow from hydrodynamics
2001
The centrality dependence of the charged multiplicity, transverse energy, and elliptic flow coefficient is studied in a hydrodynamic model, using a variety of different initializations which model the initial energy or entropy production process as a hard or soft process, respectively. While the charged multiplicity depends strongly on the chosen initialization, the p_t-integrated elliptic flow for charged particles as a function of charged particle multiplicity and the p_t-differential elliptic flow for charged particles in minimum bias events turn out to be almost independent of the initial energy density profile.
Dynamics of Uniaxial Hard Ellipsoids
2007
We study the dynamics of monodisperse hard ellipsoids via a new event-driven molecular dynamics algorithm as a function of volume fraction $\phi$ and aspect ratio $X_0$. We evaluate the translational $D_{trans}$ and the rotational $D_{rot}$ diffusion coefficient and the associated isodiffusivity lines in the $\phi-X_0$ plane. We observe a decoupling of the translational and rotational dynamics which generates an almost perpendicular crossing of the $D_{trans}$ and $D_{rot}$ isodiffusivity lines. While the self intermediate scattering function exhibits stretched relaxation, i.e. glassy dynamics, only for large $\phi$ and $X_0 \approx 1$, the second order orientational correlator $C_2(t)$ sho…
Molecular correlation functions for uniaxial ellipsoids in the isotropic state
2006
We perform event-driven molecular dynamics simulations of a system composed by uniaxial hard ellipsoids for different values of the aspect-ratio and packing fraction . We compare the molecular orientational-dependent structure factors previously calculated within the Percus-Yevick approximation with the numerical results. The agreement between theoretical and numerical results is rather satisfactory. We also show that, for specific orientational quantities, the molecular structure factors are sensitive to the particle shape and can be used to distinguish prolate from oblate ellipsoids. A first-order theoretical expansion around the spherical shape and a geometrical analysis of the configura…
Event-Driven Simulation of the Dynamics of Hard Ellipsoids
2008
We introduce a novel algorithm to perform event-driven simulations of hard rigid bodies of arbitrary shape, that relies on the evaluation of the geometric distance. In the case of a monodisperse system of uniaxial hard ellipsoids,we perform molecular dynamics simulations varying the aspect-ratio X0 and the packing fraction phi. We evaluate the translational Dtrans and the rotational Drot diffusion coefficient and the associated isodiffusivity lines in the phi-X0 plane. We observe a decoupling of the translational and rotational dynamics which generates an almost perpendicular crossing of the Dtrans and Drot isodiffusivity lines. While the self intermediate scattering function exhibits stret…
An Unusual Presentation of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
2013
Abstract Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is an often progressive, persistent and frequently life-threatening disease, described for the first time as characterized by ulceration of the upper jejunum, hypersecretion of gastric acid and non-beta islet cell tumors of the pancreas; this syndrome is due to the hypersecretion of gastrin. We report a case of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome presenting as severe esophagitis evolving in stenosis, which demonstrates how a delayed diagnosis may induce risk of disease spreading. In this setting new diagnostic approaches, such as somatostatin receptor scanning and positron emission tomography with 68 Ga-labeled octreotide, could be particularly useful, as well as …
Symmetry for positive critical points of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities
2022
Abstract We consider positive critical points of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities and prove a Liouville type result which allows us to give a complete classification of the solutions in a certain range of parameters, providing a symmetry result for positive solutions. The governing operator is a weighted p -Laplace operator, which we consider for a general p ∈ ( 1 , d ) . For p = 2 , the symmetry breaking region for extremals of Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequalities was completely characterized in Dolbeault et al. (2016). Our results extend this result to a general p and are optimal in some cases.
