Integrating factors, adjoint equations and Lagrangians

Integrating factors and adjoint equations are determined for linear and non-linear differential equations of an arbitrary order. The new concept of an adjoint equation is used for construction of a Lagrangian for an arbitrary differential equation and for any system of differential equations where the number of equations is equal to the number of dependent variables. The method is illustrated by considering several equations traditionally regarded as equations without Lagrangians. Noether's theorem is applied to the Maxwell equations.

Finite attraction for nonlinear uncertain mechanical systems

This paper deals with the robust control problem for uncertainnonlinear mechanical systems with ideal and holonomic constraints.A robust control law having the form of state feedback is obtained.The control law consists of two parts: the first one is a nominalcontrol law which affects the behaviour of the nominal dynamicsfor the considered mechanical system; the second one is a learningcontrol law which reduces the influence of uncertainties onthe stability of the mechanical system. Under the action ofthe robust control law, the closed-loop system for the uncertainmechanical system reaches a region specified a short time inadvance.     

Equality of Types for the Distribution of the Maximum for Two Values of n Implies Extreme Value Type

In this note, we prove a characterization of extreme value distributions. We show that, under some conditions, if the distribution of the maximum of n i.i.d. variables is of the same type for two distinct values of n then the distribution is one of the three extreme value types. This is an analogue of the well known result that if the sum of two i.i.d. random variables with finite second moment is of the same type as the original distribution then the distribution is Gaussian (Kagan et al., 1973). Our result was motivated by study of the m out of n bootstrap.     

Picosecond time-resolved nonresonant ionization detected IR spectroscopy on 7-azaindole dimer

The picosecond time-resolved IR spectrum of the 7-azaindole dimer has been measured by picosecond time-resolved nonresonant ionization detected IR spectroscopy. This new time-resolved technique was developed by combining nonresonant ionization detected IR (NID-IR) spectroscopy with tunable picosecond IR and UV lasers. The time-resolved NID-IR spectrum from 2 600 cm^-1 to 3 800 cm^-1 shows a drastic change from 1.5 ps to 11 ps time evolution. A mode-specific vibrational redistribution has been suggested.

Quantum Statistical Properties of k-Quantum Nonlinear Coherent States

In our preceding work, a class of k-quantum nonlinear coherent states, i.e., the k eigenstates of the powersBk (k ≥ 3) of the annihilation operator B=-a1/f(N) of f-oscillators, are introduced. In this paper, we introduce a newkind of higher-order squeezing and an antibunching effect. The quantum statistical properties of the k states are studied.The result shows that the M-th order [M = (n 1/2)k; n = 0, 1,...] squeezing effects exist in all of the k states when kis even. There is the antibunching effect in all of the k states.

Implementation of some higher-order convection schemes on non-uniform grids

A generalized formulation is applied to implement the quadratic upstream interpolation (QUICK) scheme, the second-order upwind (SOU) scheme and the second-order hybrid scheme (SHYBRID) on non-uniform grids. The implementation method is simple. The accuracy and efficiency of these higher-order schemes on non-uniform grids are assessed. Three well-known bench mark convection-diffusion problems and a fluid flow problem are revisited using non-uniform grids. These are: (1) transport of a scalar tracer by a uniform velocity field; (2) heat transport in a recirculating flow; (3) two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equations; and (4) a two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow which is similar to the classical lid-driven cavity flow. The known exact solutions of the last three problems make it possible to thoroughly evaluate accuracies of various uniform and non-uniform grids. Higher accuracy is obtained for fewer grid points on non-uniform grids. The order of accuracy of the examined schemes is maintained for some tested problems if the distribution of non-uniform grid points is properly chosen.
