Investigation of composed discs with the Boundary Element Method

Summary The state of tensions and displacements in discs which are composed of discs of different material with the same Poisson's ratio is calculated by means of the Boundary Element Method (BEM).Load or dislocation singularities are used to reduce the problem to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, which is solved numerically. To illustrate the applicability of the method two examples are presented including numerical results.

     

Shellability and higher Cohen-Macaulay connectivity of generalized cluster complexes

Let Φ be a finite root system of rank n and let m be a nonnegative integer. The generalized cluster complex Δ^m(Φ) was introduced by S. Fomin and N. Reading. It was conjectured by these authors that Δ^m(Φ) is shellable and by V. Reiner that it is (m + 1)-Cohen-Macaulay, in the sense of Baclawski. These statements are proved in this paper. Analogous statements are shown to hold for the positive part Δ₊^m(Φ) of Δ^m(Φ). An explicit homotopy equivalence is given between Δ₊^m(Φ) and the poset of generalized noncrossing partitions, associated to the pair (Φ, m) by D. Armstrong.     

3D elastic scattering theorems for point-generated dyadic fields

The problem of scattering of elastic spherical waves by a rigid body, cavity or a penetrable obstacle in 3D linear elasticity is considered. For two point sources, dyadic far-field pattern generators are defined, which are used for the formulation of a general scattering theorem. The main reciprocity principle and mixed scattering relations are also established. We provide the necessary energy considerations, presenting relative energy functionals and expressions for the differential and the scattering cross section due to point-source dyadic incidence. Finally, an application of the general scattering theorem for appropriate locations of the point source leads to an optical theorem. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Scattering relations for point‐source excitation in chiral media

A spherical electromagnetic wave propagating in a chiral medium is scattered by a bounded chiral obstacle which can have any of the usual properties. Reciprocity and general scattering theorems, relating the scattered fields due to scattering of waves from a point source put in any two different locations are established. Applying the general scattering theorem for appropriate locations and polarizations of the point source we prove an associated forward scattering theorem. Mixed scattering relations, relating the scattered fields due to a plane wave and the far‐field patterns due to a spherical wave, are also established. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A time domain analysis of wave motions in chiral materials

A time domain analysis of the equations governing wave propagation in an unbounded chiral medium is presented by a spectral family approach and by a direct eigenfunction expansion using Beltrami–Moses fields.     

Spectra of Some Interesting Combinatorial Matrices Related to Oriented Spanning Trees on a Directed Graph

The Laplacian of a directed graph G is the matrix L(G) = O(G) –, A(G) where A(G) is the adjaceney matrix of G and O(G) the diagonal matrix of vertex outdegrees. The eigenvalues of G are the eigenvalues of A(G). Given a directed graph G we construct a derived directed graph D(G) whose vertices are the oriented spanning trees of G. Using a counting argument, we describe the eigenvalues of D(G) and their multiplicities in terms of the eigenvalues of the induced subgraphs and the Laplacian matrix of G. Finally we compute the eigenvalues of D(G) for some specific directed graphs G. A recent conjecture of Propp for D(H _n ) follows, where H _n stands for the complete directed graph on n vertices without loops.     

Enhancing the discrimination accuracy between metastases, gliomas and meningiomas on brain MRI by volumetric textural features and ensemble pattern recognition methods

Three-dimensional (3D) texture analysis of volumetric brain magnetic resonance (MR) images has been identified as an important indicator for discriminating among different brain pathologies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of 3D textural features using a pattern recognition system in the task of discriminating benign, malignant and metastatic brain tissues on T1 postcontrast MR imaging (MRI) series. The dataset consisted of 67 brain MRI series obtained from patients with verified and untreated intracranial tumors. The pattern recognition system was designed as an ensemble classification scheme employing a support vector machine classifier, specially modified in order to integrate the least squares features transformation logic in its kernel function. The latter, in conjunction with using 3D textural features, enabled boosting up the performance of the system in discriminating metastatic, malignant and benign brain tumors with 77.14%, 89.19% and 93.33% accuracy, respectively. The method was evaluated using an external cross-validation process; thus, results might be considered indicative of the generalization performance of the system to "unseen" cases. The proposed system might be used as an assisting tool for brain tumor characterization on volumetric MRI series.     

The Symmetric Group Action on Rank-selected Posets of Injective Words

The symmetric group \(\mathfrak {S}_{n}\) acts naturally on the poset of injective words over the alphabet {1, 2,…,n}. The induced representation on the homology of this poset has been computed by Reiner and Webb. We generalize their result by computing the representation of \(\mathfrak {S}_{n}\) on the homology of all rank-selected subposets, in the sense of Stanley. A further generalization to the poset of r-colored injective words is given.     

Generalized Catalan Numbers, Weyl Groups and Arrangements of Hyperplanes

For an irreducible, crystallographic root system in a Euclideanspace V and a positive integer m, the arrangement of hyperplanesin V given by the affine equations (, x) = k, for and k =0, 1, ..., m, is denoted here by . The characteristic polynomial of is related in the paper to that of the Coxeter arrangement A(corresponding to m = 0), and the number of regions into whichthe fundamental chamber of A is dissected by the hyperplanesof is deduced to be equal to the product , where e₁,e₂, ..., e_l are the exponents of and h is the Coxeter number.A similar formula for the number of bounded regions follows.Applications to the enumeration of antichains in the root posetof are included. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 20F55(primary), 05A15, 52C35 (secondary).
