Theoretical analysis of collisional shift and broadening of antiprotonic helium spectral lines

Effect of medium density on shift and broadening of ( ) spectral lines is considered in the framework of binary-collision approximation with an effective ( )–He potential including the long-range attraction and short-range repulsion. Quantum calculations of the scattering phase shifts at reasonable values of the potential parameters allow to explain the main features of the observed density effect on the shape of ( ) spectral lines in low-temperature helium. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Laguerre geometry of surfaces with plane lines of curvature

We study surfaces with plane lines of curvature in the framework of Laguerre geometry and provide explicit representation formulae for these surfaces in terms of a potential function. As an application, we explicitly integrate allL- minimal surfaces with plane curvature lines. Partially supported by MURST 40.     

Transfer Operators and State Spaces for Discrete Multidimensional Linear Systems

This paper treats multidimensional discrete input-output systems from the constructive point of view. We adapt and improve recursive algorithms, derived earlier by E. Zerz and the second author from standard Gröbner basis algorithms, for the solution of the canonical Cauchy problem for linear systems of partial difference equations with constant coefficients on the lattices N = ^r1 × ^r2. These recursive algorithms, in turn, furnish four other solution methods for the initial value problem, namely by transfer operators, by canonical Kalman global state equations, by parametrizations of controllable systems and, for systems with proper transfer matrix and left bounded input signals, by convolution with the transfer matrix. In the 2D-case N = ² the last method was studied by S. Zampieri. Minimally embedded systems are studied and give rise to especially simple Kalman equations. The latter also imply a useful characterization of the characteristic or polar variety of the system by eigenvalue spectra. For N = ^r we define reachability of a system and prove that controllability implies reachability, but not conversely. Moreover we solve, in full generality, the modelling problem which was introduced and partially solved by F. Pauer and S. Zampieri. Various algorithms have been implemented by the first author in axiom, and examples are demonstrated by means of computer generated pictures. Related work on state space representations has been done by the Padovian and Groningian system theory schools.     

Mode Distribution and Bandwidth Characteristic of Arbitrarily Trapezoidal-Groove Guide for Millimeter Waves

The modes TE and TM of arbitrarily trapezoidal-groove guide are analyzed by using the mode-matching method. The mode TE₁₁ is the dominant mode of the trapezoidal-groove guide under different conditions. The bandwidth characteristic and the operation condition for the single dominant mode are discussed. The obtained conclusions are of very important significance in theoretical study and practical application of trapeziodal-groove guides for millimeter waves.

Time-stepping algorithms for semidiscretized linear parabolic PDEs based on rational approximants with distinct real poles

Time dependent problems in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are often solved by the Method Of Lines (MOL). For linear parabolic PDEs, the exact solution of the resulting system of first order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) satisfies a recurrence relation involving the matrix exponential function. In this paper, we consider the development of a fourth order rational approximant to the matrix exponential function possessing real and distinct poles which, consequently, readily admits a partial fraction expansion, thereby allowing the distribution of the work in solving the corresponding linear algebraic systems in essentially Backward Euler-like solves on concurrent processors. The resulting parallel algorithm possesses appropriate stability properties, and is implemented on various parabolic PDEs from the literature including the forced heat equation and the advection-diffusion equation.Dedicated to Professor J.

Pressure effects on 2p5 3p - 2p5 3d transitions in neon

The collisional broadening and shift of four spectral lines of neon (747.2, 748.8, 753.5, 754.4 nm) arising from 2p⁵ 3p - 2p⁵ 3d transitions, emitted from a low-pressure glow discharge in pure neon and neon-helium mixtures have been measured using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The values of pressure broadening and shift coefficients are determined and analyzed in terms of the impact theory.     

Pressure dependence of the spectral lines of a high power, high pressure atomic fluorine laser pumped by a charge transfer from He2

Various transitions of a pressure tunable atomic fluorine laser have been observed over a rather wide spectral range, 634.8–755.2 nm, by exciting the atmospheric pressure of helium containing 0.2% F₂ in a preionized Blumlein discharge device with a charging voltage of 10–15 kV. The intensity of two quartet transitions, 739.9 and 755.2 nm, increases with pressure, whereas that of the other quartet and doublet lines, 634.8, 641.4, 712.8 and 731.1 nm, decreases with increasing atmospheric fill-pressure. The pumping mechanisms at high pressures appear to be different from those at relatively low pressures.     

Limit distributions and one-parameter groups of linear operators on Banach spaces

Let = {U_t: t > 0} be a strongly continuous one-parameter group of operators on a Banach space X and Q be any subset of a set (X) of all probability measures on X. By (Q; ) we denote the class of all limit measures of {U_tn(μ₁ * μ₂*…*μ_n)*δ_xn}, where {μ_n}Q, {x_n}X and measures U_tnμ_j (j=1, 2,…, n; N=1, 2,…) form an infinitesimal triangular array. We define classes L_m( ) as follows: L₀( )= ( (X); ), L_m( )= (L_m−1( ); ) for m=1, 2,… and L_∞( )=_m=0^∞L_m( ). These classes are analogous to those defined earlier by Urbanik on the real line. Probability distributions from L_m( ), m=0, 1, 2,…, ∞, are described in terms of their characteristic functionals and their generalized Poisson exponents and Gaussian covariance operators.
