Quantum Solitary Wave Solutions in a Ferromagnetic Chain with Nearest- and Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interaction

The quantum solitary wave solutions in a one-dimensional ferromagnetic chain is investigated by using the Hartree-Fock approach and the multiple-scale method. It is shown that quantum solitary wave solutions can exist in a ferromagnetic system with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor exchange interaction, and at the certain value of the first Brillouin zone, the solitary wave solution of the Hartree wave function becomes the intrinsic localized mode.

'T-RANS' Simulation of Deterministic Eddy Structure in Flows Driven by Thermal Buoyancy and Lorentz Force

The paper reports on the application of the Time-dependent Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (T-RANS) approach to analysing the effects of magnetic force and bottom-wall configuration on the reorganisation of a large coherent structure and its role in the transport processes in Rayleigh–Bénard convection. The large-scale deterministic motion is fully resolved in time and space, whereas the unresolved stochastic motion is modelled by a `subscale' model for which the conventional algebraic stress/flux expressions were used, closed with the low-Re number (k)-(ε)-(θ²) three-equation model. The applied method reproduces long-term averaged mean flow properties, turbulence second moments, and all major features of the coherent roll/cell structure in classic Rayleigh–Bénard convection in excellent agreement with the available DNS and experimental results. Application of the T-RANS approach to Rayleigh–Bénard convection with wavy bottom walls and a superimposed magnetic field yielded the expected effects on there organisation of the eddy structure and consequent modifications of the mean and turbulence parameters and wall heat transfer. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Acceleration Tools for Diagonal Information Global Optimization Algorithms

In this paper we face a classical global optimization problem—minimization of a multiextremal multidimensional Lipschitz function over a hyperinterval. We introduce two new diagonal global optimization algorithms unifying the power of the following three approaches: efficient univariate information global optimization methods, diagonal approach for generalizing univariate algorithms to the multidimensional case, and local tuning on the behaviour of the objective function (estimates of the local Lipschitz constants over different subregions) during the global search. Global convergence conditions of a new type are established for the diagonal information methods. The new algorithms demonstrate quite satisfactory performance in comparison with the diagonal methods using only global information about the Lipschitz constant.

Assessing and managing credit risk in retail financial services

The paper reviews recent developments and future needs in modellingcredit risk in the retail portfolio and their recent regulatoryimplications, against the implications of the new frameworkproposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. It introducesfour related papers arising from a conference held at the Bankof England in November 2000, before outlining the history ofthe requirements and the determination of the minimum capitalrequired by banks to cover credit risk on their assets. Therationale for the mathematics behind the proposed new international‘internal-ratings based approach,’ relying on banks'own models, is then briefly discussed, with relevant bibliographyfor further reading.     

General Symmetry Approach to Solve Variable—Coefficient Nonlinear Equations

After considering the variable coefficient of a nonlinear equation as a new dependent variable,some special types of variable-coefficient equation can be solved from the corresponding constant-coefficient equations by using the general classical Lie approach.Taking the nonlinear Schrodinger equation as a concrete example,the method is recommended in detail.     

Semiunitary Transforrnation and Isospectral Hamiltonians in Arbitrary Dimensional Space

By means of the complex Clifford algebra, a new realization of multi-dimensional semiunitary transformation is put forward and then applied to studying the isospectrality of nonrelativistic Hamiltonians of multi-dimensional quantum mechanical systems, in which the generalized Pauli coupling interaction and spin-orbit coupling interaction appear naturally. Moreover, it is shown that the semiunitary operators, together with the Hamiltonian of quantum mechanical system, satisfy the polynomially-deformed angular momentum algebra.``
