Two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition on a circle: Analytic results for boundary deformation, the transition disk…

2019

A deformation of a disk D of radius r is described as follows: Let two disks D1 and D2 have the same radius r, and let the distance between the two disk centers be 2a, 0 ≤ a ≤ r. The deformation transforms D into the intersection D1 ∩ D2. This deformation is parametrized by e = a/r. For e = 0, there is no deformation, and the deformation starts when e, starting from 0, increases, transforming the disk into a lens. Analytic results are obtained for the eigenvalues of Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundary condition to the lowest order in e for this deformation. These analytic results are obtained via a Hamiltonian method for solving the Helmholtz equation with zero Dirichlet boundar…

Lacunary Bifurcation of Multiple Solutions of Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems

1991

In order to describe the type of nonlinear eigenvalue problems we are going to discuss, consider a densely defined closed linear operator T in a real Hilbert space H and let H1 be the Hilbert space which consists of the domain of T together with the graph norm. Also, let H 1 * be the dual space of H1 and denote the dual operator corresponding to T: H1 → H by T’:H → H 1 * . Since H1 is dense in H, we may view H as a subspace of H1, and then the scalar product (·,·) on H and the dual pairing on H1 × H 1 * coincide on H1 × H.

Random polarisations of the dipoles

2012

We extend the dipole formalism for massless and massive partons to random polarisations of the external partons. The dipole formalism was originally formulated for spin-summed matrix elements and later extended to individual helicity eigenstates. For efficiency reasons one wants to replace the spin sum by a smooth integration over additional variables. This requires the extension of the dipole formalism to random polarisations. In this paper we derive the modified subtraction terms. We only modify the real subtraction terms, the integrated subtraction terms do not require any modifications.

Confinement of Lévy flights in a parabolic potential and fractional quantum oscillator

2018

We study L\'evy flights confined in a parabolic potential. This has to do with a fractional generalization of an ordinary quantum-mechanical oscillator problem. To solve the spectral problem for the fractional quantum oscillator, we pass to the momentum space, where we apply the variational method. This permits one to obtain approximate analytical expressions for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions with very good accuracy. The latter fact has been checked by a numerical solution to the problem. We point to the realistic physical systems ranging from multiferroics and oxide heterostructures to quantum chaotic excitons, where obtained results can be used.

Some analytical considerations on two-scale relations

1994

Scaling functions that generate a multiresolution analysis (MRA) satisfy, among other conditions, the so-called «two-scale relation» (TSR). In this paper we discuss a number of properties that follow from the TSR alone, independently of any MRA: position of zeros (mainly for continuous scaling functions), existence theorems (using fixed point and eigenvalue arguments) and orthogonality relation between integer translates. © 1994 Società Italiana di Fisica.

Effect of Topological Structure and Coupling Strength in Weighted Multiplex Networks

2018

Algebraic connectivity (second smallest eigenvalue of the supra-Laplacian matrix of the underlying multilayer network) and inter-layer coupling strength play an important role in the diffusion processes on the multiplex networks. In this work, we study the effect of inter-layer coupling strength, topological structure on algebraic connectivity in weighted multiplex networks. The results show a remarkable transition in the value of algebraic connectivity from classical cases where the inter-layer coupling strength is homogeneous. We investigate various topological structures in multiplex networks using configuration model, the Barabasi-Albert model (BA) and empirical data-set of multiplex ne…

Towards a quantitative comparison between global and local stability analysis

2017

A methodology is proposed here to estimate the stability characteristics of bluff-body wakes using local analysis under the assumption of weakly non-parallel flows. In this connection, a generalisation of the classic spatio-temporal stability analysis for fully three-dimensional flows is first described. Secondly, an additional higher-order correction term with respect to the common saddle-point global frequency estimation is included in the analysis. The proposed method is first validated for the case of the flow past a circular cylinder and then applied to two fully three-dimensional flows: the boundary layer flow over a wall-mounted hemispherical body and the wake flow past a fixed spher…

Stability analysis of an electromagnetically levitated sphere

2006

We present a combined numerical and analytical approach to analyze the static and dynamic stabilities of an electromagnetically levitated spherical body depending on the ac frequency and the configuration of a three-dimensional (3D) coil made of thin winding which is modeled by linear current filaments. First, we calculate numerically the magnetic vector potential in grid points on the surface of the sphere and then use Legendre and fast Fourier transforms to find the expansion of the magnetic field in terms of spherical harmonics. Second, we employ a previously developed gauge transformation to solve analytically the 3D electromagnetic problem in terms of the numerically obtained expansion…

Role of Polarization Mode Dispersion on Modulational Instability in Optical Fibers

2001

We introduce the theory of modulational instability (MI) of electromagnetic waves in fibers with random polarization mode dispersion. Applying a linear stability analysis and stochastic calculus, we show that the MI gain spectrum reads as the maximal eigenvalue of a constant effective matrix. In the limiting cases of small or large fluctuations, we give explicit expressions for the MI gain spectra. In the general configurations, we give the explicit form of the effective matrix and numerically compute the maximal eigenvalue. In the anomalous dispersion regime, polarization dispersion widens the unstable bandwidth. Depending on the type of variations of the birefringence parameters, polariza…

A Quantum Mechanical Model of the Reissner-Nordstrom Black Hole

1997

We consider a Hamiltonian quantum theory of spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat electrovacuum spacetimes. The physical phase space of such spacetimes is spanned by the mass and the charge parameters $M$ and $Q$ of the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole, together with the corresponding canonical momenta. In this four-dimensional phase space, we perform a canonical transformation such that the resulting configuration variables describe the dynamical properties of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black holes in a natural manner. The classical Hamiltonian written in terms of these variables and their conjugate momenta is replaced by the corresponding self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator, and an eigenv…
