Method specific Cholesky decomposition : Coulomb and exchange energies
2008
We present a novel approach to the calculation of the Coulomb and exchange contributions to the total electronic energy in self consistent field and density functional theory. The numerical procedure is based on the Cholesky decomposition and involves decomposition of specific Hadamard product matrices that enter the energy expression. In this way, we determine an auxiliary basis and obtain a dramatic reduction in size as compared to the resolution of identity (RI) method. Although the auxiliary basis is determined from the energy expression, we have complete control of the errors in the gradient or Fock matrix. Another important advantage of this method specific Cholesky decomposition is t…
A Temperature Dependent Non-Linear Inductor Model for a DC/DC Boost Converter
2018
This paper is focused on the use of non-linear inductors in DC/DC switching converters, as well as their behaviour due to changes in current and temperature. The model of an inductor is set up on the basis of experimental data, which are automatically acquired by a virtual instrument; from those data, a polynomial curve describing the inductance variations is obtained. The analysis of the converter, performed by including the proposed model, is validated by experimental tests.
Dynamic Analysis for Axially Moving Viscoelastic Poynting–Thomson Beams
2015
This paper is concerned with dynamic characteristics of axially moving beams with the standard linear solid type material viscoelasticity. We consider the Poynting–Thomson version of the standard linear solid model and present the dynamic equations for the axially moving viscoelastic beam assuming that out-of-plane displacements are small. Characteristic behaviour of the beam is investigated by a classical dynamic analysis, i.e., we find the eigenvalues with respect to the beam velocity. With the help of this analysis, we determine the type of instability and detect how the behaviour of the beam changes from stable to unstable.
Interaction-free evolution in the presence of time-dependent Hamiltonians
2015
The generalization of the concept of interaction-free evolutions (IFE) [A. Napoli, {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 89}, 062104 (2014)] to the case of time-dependent Hamiltonians is discussed. It turns out that the time-dependent case allows for much more rich structures of interaction-free states and interaction-free subspaces. The general condition for the occurrence of IFE is found and exploited to analyze specific situations. Several examples are presented, each one associated to a class of Hamiltonians with specific features.
On the Leibniz bracket, the Schouten bracket and the Laplacian
2003
International audience; The Leibniz bracket of an operator on a (graded) algebra is defined and some of its properties are studied. A basic theorem relating the Leibniz bracket of the commutator of two operators to the Leibniz bracket of them is obtained. Under some natural conditions, the Leibniz bracket gives rise to a (graded) Lie algebra structure. In particular, those algebras generated by the Leibniz bracket of the divergence and the Laplacian operators on the exterior algebra are considered, and the expression of the Laplacian for the product of two functions is generalized for arbitrary exterior forms.
A direct method to find solutions of some type of coupled Korteweg-de Vries equations using hyperelliptic functions of genus two
2008
Abstract We suggest how one can obtain exact solutions of some type of coupled Korteweg–de Vries equations by means of hyperelliptic functions of genus two.
Nilpotence of orbits under monodromy and the length of Melnikov functions
2021
Abstract Let F ∈ ℂ [ x , y ] be a polynomial, γ ( z ) ∈ π 1 ( F − 1 ( z ) ) a non-trivial cycle in a generic fiber of F and let ω be a polynomial 1-form, thus defining a polynomial deformation d F + e ω = 0 of the integrable foliation given by F . We study different invariants: the orbit depth k , the nilpotence class n , the derivative length d associated with the couple ( F , γ ) . These invariants bind the length l of the first nonzero Melnikov function of the deformation d F + e ω along γ . We analyze the variation of the aforementioned invariants in a simple but informative example, in which the polynomial F is defined by a product of four lines. We study as well the relation of this b…
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.
Multiparticle breathers for a chain with double-quadratic on-site potential
1999
We investigate the existence and properties of multiparticle breathers for a one-dimensional model with harmonic nearest neighbor interactions where a group of r particles $(r=1,2,3,\dots{})$ perform interwell oscillations between both wells of a double-quadratic on-site potiential. We find two types of such breathers. For the first type the breather frequency $\ensuremath{\Omega}$ is within the single-particle oscillator spectrum, and the ``residence'' time of each breather particle in the left and right well is about the same. For the second breather $\ensuremath{\Omega}$ is below that spectrum, and the ratio ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{L}/{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{R}$ of the residence time in the l…
Dynamics of breather modes in a nonlinear “helicoidal” model of DNA
1991
Via a recent model with an additional helicoidal coupling, the dynamics of breathers modes in DNA are studied analytically and with the use of numerical simulations. It is shown that these excitations are longlived and can match experimentally observed fluctuational openings.
