Optical, thermal, electrical, damage, and phase-matching properties of lithium selenoindate
2011
LiInSe2, a biaxial nonlinear crystal transparent from 0.54 to 10 µm, is successfully grown in large sizes with good optical quality. We summarize all characteristics and physical properties of LiInSe2 essential for nonlinear frequency conversion.
Rippling of two-dimensional materials by line defects
2020
Two-dimensional materials and their mechanical properties are known to be profoundly affected by rippling deformations. However, although ripples are fairly well understood, less is known about their origin and controlled modification. Here, motivated by recent reports of laser-controlled creation of line defects in graphene, we investigate how line defects could be used to control rippling in graphene and other two-dimensional materials. By sequential multi-scale coupling of density-functional tight-binding and continuum elasticity simulations, we quantify the amount of rippling when the number and the cumulative length of the line defects increase. Simulations show that elastic sheets wit…
A group-theory method to find stationary states in nonlinear discrete symmetry systems
2010
In the field of nonlinear optics, the self-consistency method has been applied to searching optical solitons in different media. In this paper, we generalize this method to other systems, adapting it to discrete symmetry systems by using group theory arguments. The result is a new technique that incorporates symmetry concepts into the iterative procedure of the self-consistency method, that helps the search of symmetric stationary solutions. An efficient implementation of this technique is also presented, which restricts the computational work to a reduced section of the entire domain and is able to find different types of solutions by specifying their symmetry properties. As a practical ap…
Turing pattern formation in the Brusselator system with nonlinear diffusion.
2013
In this work we investigate the effect of density dependent nonlinear diffusion on pattern formation in the Brusselator system. Through linear stability analysis of the basic solution we determine the Turing and the oscillatory instability boundaries. A comparison with the classical linear diffusion shows how nonlinear diffusion favors the occurrence of Turing pattern formation. We study the process of pattern formation both in 1D and 2D spatial domains. Through a weakly nonlinear multiple scales analysis we derive the equations for the amplitude of the stationary patterns. The analysis of the amplitude equations shows the occurrence of a number of different phenomena, including stable supe…
Numerical study of blow-up and dispersive shocks in solutions to generalized Korteweg–de Vries equations
2015
Abstract We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to general Korteweg–de Vries equations with critical and supercritical nonlinearity, both in the context of dispersive shocks and blow-up. We study the stability of solitons and show that they are unstable against being radiated away and blow-up. In the L 2 critical case, the blow-up mechanism by Martel, Merle and Raphael can be numerically identified. In the limit of small dispersion, it is shown that a dispersive shock always appears before an eventual blow-up. In the latter case, always the first soliton to appear will blow up. It is shown that the same type of blow-up as for the perturbations of the soliton can be observed whic…
Exact analytic expressions for electromagnetic propagation and optical nonlinear generation in finite one-dimensional periodic multilayers.
2004
Translation Matrix Formalism has been used to find an exact analytic solution for linear light propagation in a finite one-dimensional (1D) periodic stratified structure. This modal approach allows to derive a closed formula for the electric field in every point of the structure, by simply imposing a convenient form for the boundary conditions. We show how to apply this result to Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) in the undepleted pump regime.
ON SOLVABILITY OF THE DAMPED FUČÍK TYPE PROBLEM WITH INTEGRAL CONDITION
2014
The solvability results are established for the boundary value problem with a damping term , x(0) = 0, where x + = max{x, 0}, x - = max{-x, 0}, h is a bounded nonlinearity, µ, λ real parameters. The existence results are based of the knowledge of the Fučík type spectrum for the problem with h ≡ 0
Soft Sensor Transferability between Lines of a Sulfur Recovery Unit
2021
Abstract Soft Sensors (SSs) are mathematical models that allow real-time estimation of hard-to-measure variables as a function of easy-to-measure ones in an industrial process, emulating the behavior of existing sensors when they are, for instance, taken off for maintenance. The Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) from a refinery is taken in exam. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) can capture the nonlinearity of such process but present a high complexity training and a very time-consuming structure optimization. For this reason, strategies to use pre-existing models are here examined by testing the transferability of the SSs between two parallel lines of the process.
Elastoplastic analysis by active macro-zones with linear kinematic hardening and von Mises materials.
2014
In this paper a strategy to perform elastoplastic analysis with linear kinematic hardening for von Mises materials under plane strain conditions is shown. The proposed approach works with the Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method applied to multidomain problems using a mixed variables approach, to obtain a more stringent solution. The elastoplastic analysis is carried out as the response to the loads and the plastic strains, the latter evaluated through the self-equilibrium stress matrix. This matrix is used both, in the predictor phase, for trial stress evaluation and, in the corrector phase, for solving a nonlinear global system which provides the elastoplastic solution of the active…
Building blocks for odd–even multigrid with applications to reduced systems
2001
Abstract Building blocks yielding an efficient implementation of the odd–even multigrid method for the Poisson problem in the reference domain (0,1) d , d=2,3, are described. Modifications needed to transform these techniques to solve reduced linear systems representing boundary value problems in arbitrary domains are given. A new way to define enriched coarser subspaces in the multilevel realization is proposed. Numerical examples demonstrating the efficiency of developed multigrid methods are included.
