Deterministic and Random Vibration of Linear Systems with Singular Parameter Matrices and Fractional Derivative Terms
2021
Both time- and frequency-domain solution techniques are developed for determining the response of linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems exhibiting singular parameter matrices and endowed with derivative terms of noninteger orders modeled as rational numbers. This is done based on the Moore-Penrose matrix inverse theory, in conjunction with a state variable formulation and with a complex modal analysis treatment. It is worth noting that, for the class of systems considered herein, this treatment also yields decoupled governing equations, thus facilitating further their numerical solution. Next, a generalization of the standard frequency-domain input-output (excitation-response) relationship…
Random vibration of linear and nonlinear structural systems with singular matrices: A frequency domain approach
2017
Abstract A frequency domain methodology is developed for stochastic response determination of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) linear and nonlinear structural systems with singular matrices. This system modeling can arise when a greater than the minimum number of coordinates/DOFs is utilized, and can be advantageous, for instance, in cases of complex multibody systems where the explicit formulation of the equations of motion can be a nontrivial task. In such cases, the introduction of additional/redundant DOFs can facilitate the formulation of the equations of motion in a less labor intensive manner. Specifically, relying on the generalized matrix inverse theory, a Moore-Penrose (M-P) based f…
Inverse eigenvalue problem for normal J-hamiltonian matrices
2015
[EN] A complex square matrix A is called J-hamiltonian if AT is hermitian where J is a normal real matrix such that J(2) = -I-n. In this paper we solve the problem of finding J-hamiltonian normal solutions for the inverse eigenvalue problem. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Spacetime structure of an evaporating black hole in quantum gravity
2006
The impact of the leading quantum gravity effects on the dynamics of the Hawking evaporation process of a black hole is investigated. Its spacetime structure is described by a renormalization group improved Vaidya metric. Its event horizon, apparent horizon, and timelike limit surface are obtained taking the scale dependence of Newton's constant into account. The emergence of a quantum ergosphere is discussed. The final state of the evaporation process is a cold, Planck size remnant.
Quantum Backreaction on Three-Dimensional Black Holes and Naked Singularities
2016
We analytically investigate backreaction by a quantum scalar field on two rotating Ba\~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) geometries: that of a black hole and that of a naked singularity. In the former case, we explore the quantum effects on various regions of relevance for a rotating black hole space-time. We find that the quantum effects lead to a growth of both the event horizon and the radius of the ergosphere, and to a reduction of the angular velocity, compared to the unperturbed values. Furthermore, they give rise to the formation of a curvature singularity at the Cauchy horizon and show no evidence of the appearance of a superradiant instability. In the case of a naked singularity, we f…
Inversion Formulas for the Discretized Hilbert Transform on the Unit Circle
1998
A discrete version of the Hilbert transform on the unit circle is considered. Its Moore--Penrose inverse with respect to suitable scalar products is derived for different side conditions. Furthermore, stability of the pseudo-inverse is studied. These results allow the efficient computation of approximate solutions of singular integral equations with Hilbert kernel. Furthermore, the stability analysis of such methods becomes much easier even for graded meshes which are useful for weakly singular solutions.
Generalized inverses and similarity to partial isometries
2010
Abstract We obtain some results related to the problems of Badea and Mbekhta (2005) [1] concerning the similarity to partial isometries using the generalized inverses. Especially, we involve the Moore–Penrose inverses. Also a characterization for such a similarity is given in the terms of dilations similar to unitary operators, which leads to a new criterion for the similarity to an isometry and to a quasinormal partial isometry.
Omaggio a Penrose
2020
Fine teorico, e profondo conoscitore della mente umana e delle sue relazioni con le strutture naturali, Penrose ha però un posto nel cuore degli artisti, dei grafici e degli architetti almeno per due costruzioni grafiche che portano il suo nome.
Dynamic stabilization of the magnetic field surrounding the neutron electric dipole moment spectrometer at the Paul Scherrer Institute
2014
The Surrounding Field Compensation (SFC) system described in this work is installed around the four-layer Mu-metal magnetic shield of the neutron electric dipole moment spectrometer located at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The SFC system reduces the DC component of the external magnetic field by a factor of about 20. Within a control volume of approximately 2.5m x 2.5m x 3m disturbances of the magnetic field are attenuated by factors of 5 to 50 at a bandwidth from $10^{-3}$ Hz up to 0.5 Hz, which corresponds to integration times longer than several hundreds of seconds and represent the important timescale for the nEDM measurement. These shielding factors apply to random environmental noise f…
Quantum Gravity Effects in the Kerr Spacetime
2010
We analyze the impact of the leading quantum gravity effects on the properties of black holes with nonzero angular momentum by performing a suitable renormalization group improvement of the classical Kerr metric within Quantum Einstein Gravity (QEG). In particular we explore the structure of the horizons, the ergosphere, and the static limit surfaces as well as the phase space avilable for the Penrose process. The positivity properties of the effective vacuum energy momentum tensor are also discussed and the "dressing" of the black hole's mass and angular momentum are investigated by computing the corresponding Komar integrals. The pertinent Smarr formula turns out to retain its classical f…
