Codimensions of algebras and growth functions
2008
Abstract Let A be an algebra over a field F of characteristic zero and let c n ( A ) , n = 1 , 2 , … , be its sequence of codimensions. We prove that if c n ( A ) is exponentially bounded, its exponential growth can be any real number >1. This is achieved by constructing, for any real number α > 1 , an F-algebra A α such that lim n → ∞ c n ( A α ) n exists and equals α. The methods are based on the representation theory of the symmetric group and on properties of infinite Sturmian and periodic words.
Path integral solution handled by Fast Gauss Transform
2009
Abstract The path integral solution method is an effective tool for evaluating the response of non-linear systems under Normal White Noise, in terms of probability density function (PDF). In this paper it has been observed that, using short-time Gaussian approximation, the PDF at a given time instant is the Gauss Transform of the PDF at an earlier close time instant. Taking full advantage of the so-called Fast Gauss Transform a new integration method is proposed. In order to overcome some unsatisfactory trends of the classical Fast Gauss Transform, a new version termed as Symmetric Fast Gauss Transform is also proposed. Moreover, extensions to the two Fast Gauss Transform to MDOF systems ar…
Cocharacters of Bilinear Mappings and Graded Matrices
2012
Let Mk(F) be the algebra of k ×k matrices over a field F of characteristic 0. If G is any group, we endow Mk(F) with the elementary grading induced by the k-tuple (1,...,1,g) where g ∈ G, g2 ≠ 1. Then the graded identities of Mk(F) depending only on variables of homogeneous degree g and g − 1 are obtained by a natural translation of the identities of bilinear mappings (see Bahturin and Drensky, Linear Algebra Appl 369:95–112, 2003). Here we study such identities by means of the representation theory of the symmetric group. We act with two copies of the symmetric group on a space of multilinear graded polynomials of homogeneous degree g and g − 1 and we find an explicit decomposition of the …
Computational aspects in 2D SBEM analysis with domain inelastic actions
2009
The Symmetric Boundary Element Method, applied to structures subjected to temperature and inelastic actions, shows singular domain integrals. In the present paper the strong singularity involved in the domain integrals of the stresses and tractions is removed, and by means of a limiting operation, this traction is evaluated on the boundary. First the weakly singular domain integral in the Somigliana Identity (S.I.) of the displacements is regularized and the singular integral is transformed into a boundary one using the Radial Integration Method; subsequently, using the differential operator applied to the displacement field, the S.I. of the tractions inside the body is obtained and through…
Strain gradient elasticity within the symmetric BEM formulation
2014
The symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method is used to address a class of strain gradient elastic materials featured by a free energy function of the (classical) strain and of its (first) gradient. With respect to the classical elasticity, additional response variables intervene, such as the normal derivative of the displacements on the boundary, and the work-coniugate double tractions. The fundamental solutions - featuring a fourth order partial differential equations (PDEs) system - exhibit singularities which in 2D may be of the order 1/ r 4 . New techniques are developed, which allow the elimination of most of the latter singularities. The present paper has to be intended as a resear…
Operators on Partial Inner Product Spaces: Towards a Spectral Analysis
2014
Given a LHS (Lattice of Hilbert spaces) $V_J$ and a symmetric operator $A$ in $V_J$, in the sense of partial inner product spaces, we define a generalized resolvent for $A$ and study the corresponding spectral properties. In particular, we examine, with help of the KLMN theorem, the question of generalized eigenvalues associated to points of the continuous (Hilbertian) spectrum. We give some examples, including so-called frame multipliers.
On the local existence of maximal slicings in spherically symmetric spacetimes
2010
In this talk we show that any spherically symmetric spacetime admits locally a maximal spacelike slicing. The above condition is reduced to solve a decoupled system of first order quasi-linear partial differential equations. The solution may be accomplished analytical or numerically. We provide a general procedure to construct such maximal slicings.
A Remark on an Overdetermined Problem in Riemannian Geometry
2016
Let (M, g) be a Riemannian manifold with a distinguished point O and assume that the geodesic distance d from O is an isoparametric function. Let \(\varOmega \subset M\) be a bounded domain, with \(O \in \varOmega \), and consider the problem \(\varDelta _p u = -1\ \mathrm{in}\ \varOmega \) with \(u=0\ \mathrm{on}\ \partial \varOmega \), where \(\varDelta _p\) is the p-Laplacian of g. We prove that if the normal derivative \(\partial _{\nu }u\) of u along the boundary of \(\varOmega \) is a function of d satisfying suitable conditions, then \(\varOmega \) must be a geodesic ball. In particular, our result applies to open balls of \(\mathbb {R}^n\) equipped with a rotationally symmetric metr…
Maximal slicings in spherical symmetry: Local existence and construction
2011
We show that any spherically symmetric spacetime locally admits a maximal spacelike slicing and we give a procedure allowing its construction. The construction procedure that we have designed is based on purely geometrical arguments and, in practice, leads to solve a decoupled system of first order quasi-linear partial differential equations. We have explicitly built up maximal foliations in Minkowski and Friedmann spacetimes. Our approach admits further generalizations and efficient computational implementation. As by product, we suggest some applications of our work in the task of calibrating Numerical Relativity complex codes, usually written in Cartesian coordinates.
The algebra of symmetric analytic functions on L∞
2017
We consider the algebra of holomorphic functions on L∞ that are symmetric, i.e. that are invariant under composition of the variable with any measure-preserving bijection of [0, 1]. Its spectrum is identified with the collection of scalar sequences such that is bounded and turns to be separable. All this follows from our main result that the subalgebra of symmetric polynomials on L∞ has a natural algebraic basis.
