Anomalous localized resonance using a folded geometry in three dimensions
2013
If a body of dielectric material is coated by a plasmonic structure of negative dielectric material with nonzero loss parameter, then cloaking by anomalous localized resonance (CALR) may occur as the loss parameter tends to zero. It was proved in other papers by authors that if the coated structure is circular (2D) and dielectric constant of the shell is a negative constant (with loss parameter), then CALR occurs, and if the coated structure is spherical (3D), then CALR does not occur. The aim of this paper is to show that the CALR takes place if the spherical coated structure has a specially designed anisotropic dielectric tensor. The anisotropic dielectric tensor is designed by unfolding …
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…
Representable states on quasilocal quasi *-algebras
2011
Continuing a previous analysis originally motivated by physics, we consider representable states on quasi-local quasi *-algebras, starting with examining the possibility for a {\em compatible} family of {\em local} states to give rise to a {\em global} state. Some properties of {\em local modifications} of representable states and some aspects of their asymptotic behavior are also considered.
Jordan Decompositions of Tensors
2022
We expand on an idea of Vinberg to take a tensor space and the natural Lie algebra which acts on it and embed them into an auxiliary algebra. Viewed as endomorphisms of this algebra we associate adjoint operators to tensors. We show that the group actions on the tensor space and on the adjoint operators are consistent, which endows the tensor with a Jordan decomposition. We utilize aspects of the Jordan decomposition to study orbit separation and classification in examples that are relevant for quantum information.
Adiabatic evolution and shape resonances
2017
Motivated by a problem of one mode approximation for a non-linear evolution with charge accumulation in potential wells, we consider a general linear adiabatic evolution problem for a semi-classical Schrödinger operator with a time dependent potential with a well in an island. In particular, we show that we can choose the adiabatic parameter ε \varepsilon with ln ε ≍ − 1 / h \ln \varepsilon \asymp -1/h , where h h denotes the semi-classical parameter, and get adiabatic approximations of exact solutions over a time interval of length ε − N \varepsilon ^{-N} with an error O ( ε N ) {\mathcal O}(\varepsilon ^N) . Here N > 0 N>0 is arbitrary. \center Résumé \endcenter Motivés par un pro…

We provide some lower semicontinuity results in the space of special functions of bounded deformation for energies of the type $$ %\int_\O {1/2}({\mathbb C} \E u, \E u)dx + \int_{J_{u}} \Theta(u^+, u^-, \nu_{u})d \H^{N-1} \enspace, \enspace [u]\cdot \nu_u \geq 0 \enspace {\cal H}^{N-1}-\hbox{a. e. on}J_u, $$ and give some examples and applications to minimum problems. \noindent Keywords: Lower semicontinuity, fracture, special functions of bounded deformation, joint convexity, $BV$-ellipticity.
A thermoelastic theory with microtemperatures of type III
2021
In this paper, we use the Green-Naghdi theory of thermomechanics of continua to derive a nonlinear theory of thermoelasticity with microtemperatures of type III. This theory permits propagation of both thermal and microtemperatures waves at finite speeds with dissipation of energy. The equations of the linear theory are also obtained. With the help of the semigroup theory of linear operators we establish that the linear anisotropic problem is well posed and we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Finally, we investigate the impossibility of the localization in time of solutions.
Numerical Study of breakup in generalized Korteweg-de Vries and Kawahara equations
2010
This article is concerned with a conjecture by one of the authors on the formation of dispersive shocks in a class of Hamiltonian dispersive regularizations of the quasilinear transport equation. The regularizations are characterized by two arbitrary functions of one variable, where the condition of integrability implies that one of these functions must not vanish. It is shown numerically for a large class of equations that the local behaviour of their solution near the point of gradient catastrophe for the transport equation is described locally by a special solution of a Painlev\'e-type equation. This local description holds also for solutions to equations where blow up can occur in finit…
General conservation law for a class of physics field theories
2019
In this paper we form a general conservation law that unifies a class of physics field theories. For this we first introduce the notion of a general field as a formal sum differential forms on a Minkowski manifold. Thereafter, we employ the action principle to define the conservation law for such general fields. By construction, particular field notions of physics, such as electric field strength, stress, strain etc. become instances of the general field. Hence, the differential equations that constitute physics field theories become also instances of the general conservation law. Accordingly, the general field and the general conservation law together correspond to a large class of physics…
Deformations of semisimple Poisson pencils of hydrodynamic type are unobstructed
2015
We prove that the bihamiltonian cohomology of a semisimple pencil of Poisson brackets of hydrodynamic type vanishes for almost all degrees. This implies the existence of a full dispersive deformation of a semisimple bihamiltonian structure of hydrodynamic type starting from any infinitesimal deformation.
