Thermodynamics of action and organization in a system

Complexity in nature is astounding yet the explanation lies in the fundamental laws of physics. The Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Principle of Least Action are the two theories of science that have always stood the test of time. In this article, we use these fundamental principles as tools to understand how and why things happen. In order to achieve that, it is of absolute necessity to define things precisely yet preserving their applicability in a broader sense. We try to develop precise, mathematically rigorous definitions of the commonly used terms in this context, such as action, organization, system, process, etc., and in parallel argue the behavior of the system from the first principles. This article, thus, acts as a mathematical framework for more discipline‐specific theories. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 307–317, 2016     

Automatic code generation for quantum chemistry applications

A unified, computer algebra system‐based scheme of code‐generation for computational quantum‐chemistry programs is presented. Generation of electron‐repulsion integrals and their derivatives as well as exchange‐correlation potential and its derivatives is discussed. Application to general‐purpose computing on graphics processing units is considered.

Hermite type ladders in q-Weyl algebras

In this paper we show that the q-deformed commutator for a ladder is related to the usual commutator of the modified ladder. In addition, we consider a family of ladders in the (q, h)-Weyl algebra, which gives a factorization of certain second order difference equations.     

Monogenic functions in the biharmonic boundary value problem

We consider a commutative algebra over the field of complex numbers with a basis {e₁,e₂} satisfying the conditions , . Let D be a bounded domain in the Cartesian plane xOy and D_ζ={xe₁+ye₂:(x,y)∈D}. Components of every monogenic function Φ(xe₁+ye₂) = U₁(x,y)e₁+U₂(x,y)ie₁+U₃(x,y)e₂+U₄(x,y)ie₂ having the classic derivative in D_ζ are biharmonic functions in D, that is, Δ²U_j(x,y) = 0 for j = 1,2,3,4. We consider a Schwarz‐type boundary value problem for monogenic functions in a simply connected domain D_ζ. This problem is associated with the following biharmonic problem: to find a biharmonic function V(x,y) in the domain D when boundary values of its partial derivatives ?V/?x, ?V/?y are given on the boundary ?D. Using a hypercomplex analog of the Cauchy‐type integral, we reduce the mentioned Schwarz‐type boundary value problem to a system of integral equations on the real axes and establish sufficient conditions under which this system has the Fredholm property.

From geometry to algebra: the Euclidean way with technology

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental classroom activity, history-based with a phylogenetic approach, to achieve algebra properties through geometry. In particular, we used Euclidean propositions, processed them by a dynamic geometry system and translate them into algebraic special products.
