Kraichnan Flow in a Square: An Example of Integrable Chaos

The Kraichnan flow provides an example of a random dynamical system accessible to an exact analysis. We study the evolution of the infinitesimal separation between two Lagrangian trajectories of the flow. Its long-time asymptotics is reflected in the large deviation regime of the statistics of stretching exponents. Whereas in the flow that is isotropic at small scales the distribution of such multiplicative large deviations is Gaussian, this does not have to be the case in the presence of an anisotropy. We analyze in detail the flow in a two-dimensional periodic square where the anisotropy generally persists at small scales. The calculation of the large deviation rate function of the stretching exponents reduces in this case to the study of the ground state energy of an integrable periodic Schrödinger operator of the Lamé type. The underlying integrability permits to explicitly exhibit the non-Gaussianity of the multiplicative large deviations and to analyze the time-scales at which the large deviation regime sets in. In particular, we indicate how the divergence of some of those time scales when the two Lyapunov exponents become close allows a discontinuity of the large deviation rate function in the parameters of the flow. The analysis of the two-dimensional anisotropic flow permits to identify the general scenario for the appearance of multiplicative large deviations together with the restrictions on its applicability.     

Theoretical Strength of Face-Centred-Cubic Single Crystal Copper Based on a Continuum Model

The constitutive relation of single crystal copper based on atomistic potential is implemented to capture the nonlinear inter-atomic interactions. Uniaxial loading tests of single crystal copper with inter-atomic potential finite-element model are carried out to determine the corresponding ideal strength using the modified Born stability criteria. Dependence of the ideal strength on the crystallographic orientation is studied, and tension- compression asymmetry in ideal strength is also investigated. The results suggest that asymmetry for yielding strength of nano-materials may result from anisotropic character of crystal instability. Moreover, the results also reveal that the critical resolved shear stress in the direction of slip is not an accurate criterion for the ideal strength since it could not capture the dependence on the loading conditions and hydrostatic stress components for the ideal strength.     

Continuum Micro-mechanics of Estimating Interfacial Shear Strength in Short Fiber Composites

A new continuum approach to micro-mechanics of short fiber composites yielded two separate methods of estimating the apparent interfacial shear strength and fiber orientation efficiency. The methods exploit the compilation of the effects of fiber length distribution and interfacial shear strength on strengthening efficiency into a function of strain. The In-Built Method derives a unique combination of apparent interfacial shear strength and fiber orientation efficiency being able to reproduce the experimental stress–strain curve of a short fiber reinforced composite with a very low residual standard deviation. The Boundary Method accomplishes rapid interfacial shear strength screening in materials selection by constructing and utilizing the proposed selection chart.

Continuum fluids with a discontinuity in the pressure

A class of one-dimensional continuum fluid models is defined in which classical particles interact through translationally invariant, strongly tempered manybody potentials meeting conditions sufficient to ensure a proper thermodynamic limit. However, an exact analysis demonstrates that for certain ranges of parameter values the pressure versus density isotherms arediscontinuous. The basic models also entail discontinuous temperature versus configurational entropy isobars but extended models are described which exhibit either type of anomaly alone and various unobserved but thermodynamically allowed, anomalous types of first-order transitions.     

Higher-Dimensional Integrable Models with a Common Recursion Operator

Starting from any one of hereditary symmetries, we can construct a type of integrable models with arbitrary dimensions. The models with different dimensions obtained from a same hereditary symmetry possess a common recursion operator. The symmetry structures of the models are studied in their potential forms. Using the formal series symmetry approach, we can get various sets of formal series symmetries with some arbitrary functions. Generally, these sets of series symmetries are not truncated for arbitrary functions. The series symmetries wiU all be truncated if the arbitrary functions are fixed as polynomials. Some sets of nontruncated symmetries constitute generalized Virasoro algebras. The more details about the symmetries and algebras are discussed for a concrete (3+1)-dimensional KdV equation.     

Integrable Highest Weight Modules over Affine Superalgebras and Appell's Function

We classify integrable irreducible highest weight representations of non-twisted affine Lie superalgebras. We give a free field construction in the level 1 case. The analysis of this construction shows, in particular, that in the simplest case of the sℓ (2|1) level 1 affine superalgebra the characters are expressed in terms of the Appell elliptic function. Our results demonstrate that the representation theory of affine Lie superalgebras is quite different from that of affine Lie algebras. Received: 17 April 2000 / Accepted: 7 July 2000     

Integrable Couplings of the Generalized AKNS Hierarchy with an Arbitrary Function and Its Bi-Hamiltonian Structure

We construct a new loop algebra \(\widetilde{A_{3}}\), which is used to set up an isospectral problem. Then a new integrable couplings of the generalized AKNS hierarchy is derived, which possesses bi-Hamiltonian structure and contains an arbitrary spatial function. As its reduction, we gain the integrable couplings of the Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, many conserved quantities of the integrable couplings are obtained.     

Integrable discrete static Hamiltonian with a parametric double-well potential

A one-dimensional discrete conservative Hamiltonian with a generalized form of the Schmidt potential, is constructed with the help of a non-integrable discrete Hamiltonian whose parametrized double-well potential can be reduced to the ?⁴ potential. The new conservative Hamiltonian is completely integrable in the discrete static regime, and the associate exact nonlinear solution is shown to coincide with the continuum nonlinear periodic solution of the non-integrable Hamiltonian. Numerical simulations and nonlinear stability analysis suggest that the discrete mapping derived from the completely integrable Hamiltonian undergoes a bifurcation which does not leads to the chaotic phase with randomly pinned states, but instead to a phase where real solutions become rare forming a cluster of periodic points around an elliptic fixed point.

Non-symmetrized Basis Function for Identical Particles

We propose to use the hyperspherical harmonics (HH) basis to solve the A-body system problem without explicit symmetrization or anti-symmetrization of the basis functions as required by the statistic of the system. Therefore, the HH basis set is expressed with respect to a given ordering of the A particles. However, after diagonalization, the eigenvectors reflect the symmetries of the Hamiltonian, and it is possible to identify the physical states having the expected symmetry under particle permutation. As an example we study the case of four particles interacting through a short-range spin-dependent interaction and the Coulomb potential.

Periodic Integrable Systems with Delta-Potentials

In this paper we study root system generalizations of the quantum Bose-gas on the circle with pair-wise delta-function interactions. The underlying symmetry structures are shown to be governed by the associated graded algebra of Cherednik's (suitably filtered) degenerate double affine Hecke algebra, acting by Dunkl-type differential-reflection operators. We use Gutkin's generalization of the equivalence between the impenetrable Bose-gas and the free Fermi-gas to derive the Bethe ansatz equations and the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions.     

Integrable field theories with defects

The structure of integrable field theories in the presence of defects is discussed in terms of boundary functions under the Lagrangian formalism. Explicit examples of bosonic and fermionic theories are considered. In particular, the boundary functions for the super sinh-Gordon model is constructed and shown to generate the Backlund transformations for its soliton solutions.     

On a Class of Integrable Systems with a Cubic First Integral

A few years ago Selivanova gave an existence proof for some integrable models, in fact geodesic flows on two dimensional manifolds, with a cubic first integral. However the explicit form of these models hinged on the solution of a nonlinear third order ordinary differential equation which could not be obtained. We show that an appropriate choice of coordinates allows for integration and gives the explicit local form for the full family of integrable systems. The relevant metrics are described by a finite number of parameters and lead to a large class of models mainly on the manifolds \mathbb S²{{\mathbb S}^2} and \mathbb H²{{\mathbb H}^2} . Many of these systems are globally defined and contain as special cases integrable systems due to Goryachev, Chaplygin, Dullin, Matveev and Tsiganov.     

Integrable Properties Associated with a Discrete Three-by-Three Matrix Spectral Problem

Based on a new discrete three-by-three matrix spectral problem, a hierarchy of integrable lattice equations with three potentials is proposed through discrete zero-curvature representation, and the resulting integrable lattice equation reduces to the classical Toda lattice equation. It is shown that thehierarchy possesses a Hamiltonian structure and a hereditary recursion operator. Finally, infinitely many conservation laws of corresponding lattice systems are obtained by a direct way.
