Finite-element design sensitivity analysis for non-linear potential problems
1990
Design sensitivity analysis is performed for the finite-element system arising from the discretization of non-linear potential problems using isoparametric Lagrangian elements. The calculated sensitivity formulae are given in a simple matrix form. Applications to the design of electromagnets and airfoils are given.
On the critical behavior for time-fractional pseudo-parabolic type equations with combined nonlinearities
2022
AbstractWe are concerned with the existence and nonexistence of global weak solutions for a certain class of time-fractional inhomogeneous pseudo-parabolic-type equations involving a nonlinearity of the form $|u|^{p}+\iota |\nabla u|^{q}$ | u | p + ι | ∇ u | q , where $p,q>1$ p , q > 1 , and $\iota \geq 0$ ι ≥ 0 is a constant. The cases $\iota =0$ ι = 0 and $\iota >0$ ι > 0 are discussed separately. For each case, the critical exponent in the Fujita sense is obtained. We point out two interesting phenomena. First, the obtained critical exponents are independent of the fractional orders of the time derivative. Secondly, in the case $\iota >0$ ι > 0 , we show that the gradie…
Algebras of unbounded operators and physical applications: a survey
2009
After a historical introduction on the standard algebraic approach to quantum mechanics of large systems we review the basic mathematical aspects of the algebras of unbounded operators. After that we discuss in some details their relevance in physical applications.
Initial Data for Non-Linear Evolution Equations and Differentiable Vectors of Group Representations
1995
Regularity properties of non-linear Lie algebra representations are defined. These properties are satisfied in examples given by evolution equations. We prove that this regularity implies that the set of C ∞ vectors for the non-linear group representation obtained by integration of the Lie algebra representation coincide with the set of C ∞ vectors of the linear part (the order one term) of this group representation.
Kontsevich formality and cohomologies for graphs
2004
A formality on a manifold M is a quasi isomorphism between the space of polyvector fields (Tpoly(M)) and the space of multidifferential operators (Dpoly(M)). In the case M=R d , such a mapping was explicitly built by Kontsevich, using graphs drawn in configuration spaces. Looking for such a construction step by step, we have to consider several cohomologies (Hochschild, Chevalley, and Harrison and Chevalley) for mappings defined on Tpoly. Restricting ourselves to the case of mappings defined with graphs, we determine the corresponding coboundary operators directly on the spaces of graphs. The last cohomology vanishes.
Star-products and phase space realizations of quantum groups
1992
It is shown for a family of *-products (i.e. different ordering rules) that, under a strong invariance condition, the functions of the quadratic preferred observables (which generate the Cartan subalgebra in phase space realization of Lie algebras) take only the linear or exponential form. An exception occurs for the case of a symmetric ordering *-product where trigonometric functions and two special polynomials can also be included. As an example, the ‘quantized algebra’ of the oscillator Lie algebra is argued.
Generalised Deformations, Koszul Resolutions, Moyal Products
1998
We generalise Gerstenhaber's theory of deformations, by dropping the assumption that the deformation parameter should commute with the elements of the original algebra. We give the associated cohomology and construct a Koszul resolution for the polynomial algebra [Formula: see text] in the "homogeneous" case. We then develop examples in the case of [Formula: see text] and find some Moyal-like products of a new type. Finally, we show that, for any field K, matrix algebras with coefficients in K and finite degree extensions of K are rigid, as in the commutative case.
Star representations of E(2)
1990
We give a complete and explicit realization of the unitary irreducible representations of the universal covering group G of E(2), the Euclidean group in two dimensions, by deformation of the algebra of functions on the dual g* of the Lie algebra of G. We define an adapted Fourier transform for G which gives a natural description of the harmonic analysis of G.
Analytic vectors, anomalies and star representations
1989
It is hinted that anomalies are not really anomalous since (at least in characteristic examples) they can be related to a lack of common analytic vectors for the Hamiltonian and the observables. We reanalyze the notions of analytic vectors and of local representations of Lie algebras in this light, and show how the notion of preferred observables introduced in the deformation (star product) approach to quantization may help give an anomaly-free formulation to physical problems. Finally, some remarks are made concerning the applicability of these considerations to field theory, especially in two dimensions.
Optical Studies of Amphiphilic Molecules with Interesting Electro-Optical and Non-Linear Optical Properties
1990
Structural control is a major issue in both life science, investigating the function of the biological machinery, and in materials science, aiming at the design of novel devices. In part one, recent electro-optical investigations of the primary event of photosynthesis on purified protein preparations are described. Part two focuses on structural studies of monolayers at an air/water interface, and of Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers from a new molecule designed for nonlinear optical applications.
