‘‘Improved’’ lattice study of semileptonic decays ofDmesons

1995

We present results of a lattice computation of the matrix elements of the vector and axial-vector currents which are relevant for the semi-leptonic decays $D \rightarrow K$ and $D \rightarrow K^*$. The computations are performed in the quenched approximation to lattice QCD on a $24^3 \times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an $O(a)$-improved fermionic action. In the limit of zero lepton masses the semi-leptonic decays $D \rightarrow K$ and $D \rightarrow K^*$ are described by four form factors: $f^{+}_K,V,A_1$ and $A_2$, which are functions of $q^2$, where $q^{\mu}$ is the four-momentum transferred in the process. Our results for these form factors at $q^2=0$ are: $f^+_K(0)=0.67 \er{7}{8}$…

The Isgur-Wise function from the lattice

1995

We calculate the Isgur-Wise function by measuring the elastic scattering amplitude of a $D$ meson in the quenched approximation on a $24^3\times48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an $O(a)$-improved fermion action. Fitting the resulting chirally-extrapolated Isgur-Wise function to Stech's relativistic-oscillator parametrization, we obtain a slope parameter $\rho^2=1.2+7-3. We then use this result, in conjunction with heavy-quark symmetry, to extract $V_{cb}$\ from the experimentally measured $\bar B\to D^*l\bar\nu\,$\ differential decay width. We find $|V_{cb}|\sqrt{\tau_B/1.48{\mathrm ps}}= 0.038 +2-2 +8-3, where the first set of errors is due to experimental uncertainties, while the second …

Yet Another New Variant of Szász–Mirakyan Operator

2021

In this paper, we construct a new variant of the classical Szász–Mirakyan operators, Mn, which fixes the functions 1 and eax,x≥0,a∈R. For these operators, we provide a quantitative Voronovskaya-type result. The uniform weighted convergence of Mn and a direct quantitative estimate are obtained. The symmetry of the properties of the classical Szász–Mirakyan operator and of the properties of the new sequence is investigated. Our results improve and extend similar ones on this topic, established in the last decade by many authors.

Exploiting Numerical Behaviors in SPH.

2010

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics is a meshless particle method able to evaluate unknown field functions and relative differential operators. This evaluation is done by performing an integral representation based on a suitable smoothing kernel function which, in the discrete formulation, involves a set of particles scattered in the problem domain. Two fundamental aspects strongly characterizing the development of the method are the smoothing kernel function and the particle distribution. Their choice could lead to the so-called particle inconsistency problem causing a loose of accuracy in the approximation; several corrective strategies can be adopted to overcome this problem. This paper focu…

A fast BEM for the analysis of plates with bonded piezoelectric patches

2010

In this paper a fast boundary element method for the elastodynamic analysis of 3D structures with bonded piezoelectric patches is presented. The elastodynamic analysis is performed in the Laplace domain and the time history of the relevant quantities is obtained by inverse Laplace transform. The bonded patches are modelled using a semi-analytical state-space variational approach. The computational features of the technique, in terms of required storage memory and solution time, are improved by a fast solver based on the use of hierarchical matrices. The presented numerical results show the potential of the technique in the study of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.

Approximation through suffixation:-ḍḍu/-a in Sicilian

2023

This article investigates the use of the Sicilian suffix -ḍḍu/-afor the expression of ap-proximation. On the basis of a survey of a corpus of ethnotexts and the outputs of a translation questionnaire, we propose that approximation is a core value in the semantic network of the suffix, expressing a certain distance fromthe default values conveyed by the base. In terms of prototypi-cality, this distance may occur from the categorial centre (internal approximation): the suffix mod-ifies the semantics of the base but does not alter the categorial status of the referent. Alternatively, the suffix may impact on categorial membership tout court (external approximation), questioning the categorial …

2009

Let T be a nonexpansive self-mapping of a closed bounded convex subset Y of a Hilbert space. For l in (0, 1), the author considers the iteration xl = lf(xl)+(1−l)Txl, where f from Y to Y is a $\phi$-contraction. Then, the author proves that (xl)l converges strongly as l goes to 0 to the unique fixed point of the $\phi$-contraction Pof, where P is the metric projection of Y onto the set FT of fixed points of T. The viscosity approximation method of the paper is obtained from the method proposed by A. Moudafi [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 241 (2000), no. 1, 46–55; MR1738332 (2000k:47085)] for mappings in Hilbert spaces, and by H. K. Xu [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 298 (2004), no. 1, 279–291; MR2086546 (2005…

Analysis of the Allee threshold via moving least square approximation

2016

Cooperation is a common behavior between the members of predators species, because it can improve theirs skill in hunt, especially in endangered eco-systems. This behavior it is well known to induce the Strong Allee effect, that can induce the extinction when the initial populations’ is under a critical density called ”Allee threshold ”. Here we investigate the impact of the pack hunting in a predator-prey system in which the predator suffers of an infectious disease with frequency and vertical transmission. The result is a three dimensional system with the predators population divided into susceptible and infected individuals. Studying the system dynamics a scenario was identified in which…
