Symmetries and conservation laws of partial differential equations: Basic notions and results

The main notions and results which are necessary for finding higher symmetries and conservation laws for general systems of partial differential equations are given. These constitute the starting point for the subsequent papers of this volume. Some problems are also discussed.     

Physicochemical and Acoustic Properties of Water-Based Magnetic Colloid

A velocity and absorption coefficient of sound for magnetic fluid (MF) based on water are studied in the frequency range of 12–132 MHz as a function of the concentration of dispersed phase, the uniform magnetic field, the storage time, and the temperature. The MF dispersed phase consist of magnetite Fe₃O₄ particles stabilized with sodium oleate. The parameters of sound propagation are measured within temperature interval 0–80°C. Densities of MF and sodium oleate are also measured as a function of temperature. Volume concentrations of magnetic fluid components (water, magnetite, and sodium oleate adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles) are determined. Densities, heat capacities, coefficients of heat conductivity and thermal expansion of aggregates are estimated. Aggregate size distribution in the studied magnetic fluid is described by the log-normal function. Parameters characterizing the aggregate size distribution are determined and their interpretation is given.     

Points Beneath a Hyperbola and the Circle Problem. A Spectral Approach

This is the first introductory part of a paper in which a spectral idea is presented for the solution of the circle problem and the problem on the points beneath a hyperbola. In the second and third parts, technical details of such a solution will be given. Bibliography: 4 titles.     

高能核碰撞中带电多重数快度与能量和中心度的关系

用强子–弦级联模型JPCIAE及相应的Monte Carlo事例产生器研究相对论性核–核碰撞中带电粒子多重数的赝快度密度对能量和中心度的依赖关系.无需另调任何模型参数的条件下,此模型可以同时较好地描述相对论性pp实验数据及PHOBOS和PHENIX实验组的Au+Au实验数据.本文指出:因〈N_part〉并非严格定义的物理量,致使实验上和理论上确定〈N_part〉有一定任意性,从而使得每参加者核子对的带电粒子赝快度密度随着〈N_part〉的增加可能逐渐增大,也可能逐渐减小,因此用它来区分粒子产生机制是欠妥的.     

A generalized square of the zeta function. The spectral decomposition. II

An estimate of the remainder in the spectral decomposition of the generalized ζ function is given, which is more precise than the known ones. This paper is a continuation of a previous paper published in one of the preceding issues.

Nonhomogeneous Rankin convolutions

The properties of the Rankin convolutions of two eigenfunctions of different parities from the discrete part of the spectrum of the Laplace operator are studied. Analytical continuability of these convolutions into the left half-plane is proved and a functional equation of Riemann type is obtained. Applications to arithmetical convolutions are given. In particular the asymptotics of such convolutions is obtained by using the nonhomogeneous Rankin convolutions. Bibliography: 4 titles.

Symmetries and conservation laws of Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations

Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations are of great interest from the viewpoint of the theory of symmetries and conservation laws and, in particular, enable us to demonstrate their potentials in action. This paper presents, firstly, the results of computations of symmetries and conservation laws for these equations and the methods of obtaining these results. Apparently, all the local symmetries and conservation laws admitted by the considered equations are exhausted by those enumerated in this paper. Secondly, we point out some reductions of Kadomtsev-Pogutse equations to more simpler forms which have less independent variables and which, in some cases, allow us to construct exact solutions. Finally, the technique of solution deformation by symmetries and their physical interpretation are demonstrated.
