On the operator representation of the Green's functions of the dynamic theory of elasticity

Starting from the operator notation for the dyadic Green's function for elastic displacement of the nonstationary theory of elasticity, we propose a method of factoring the mutually orthogonal components of the Green's function in the form of tensor products of operators acting respectively on the coordinates of the points of observation and the source.

Transfer matrices, hyperbolic geometry and absolutely continuous spectrum for some discrete Schrödinger operators on graphs

We prove the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum for a class of discrete Schrödinger operators on tree like graphs. We consider potentials whose radial behaviour is subject only to an ?^∞ bound. In the transverse direction the potential must satisfy a condition such as periodicity. The graphs we consider include binary trees and graphs obtained from a binary tree by adding edges, possibly with weights. Our methods are motivated by the one-dimensional transfer matrix method, interpreted as a discrete dynamical system on the hyperbolic plane. This is extended to more general graphs, leading to a formula for the Green's function. Bounds on the Green's function then follow from the contraction properties of the transformations that arise in this generalization. The bounds imply the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum.     

Green's operators

Summary Generailzed Green's functions are kernels of integral operators with certain properties. Solution operators with these properties are calledGreen's operators. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Green's operators are given for the general case, and for operators on Banach spaces.

Formulation of Quantum Scattering Theory in Terms of Proper Differentials (Stationary Wave Packets)

Constructing the basic operators of scattering theory on and off the mass shell in terms of spatially bounded stationary wave packets or proper differentials is described. For this, we use a technique based on a certain scheme for discretizing the continuum. Finite-dimensional approximations for the Green's functions and T-matrix, which are first found here, are immediately constructed for any energy using a single simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix in an L ₂-type complete basis. We show that the developed approach leads to a convenient finite-dimensional representation of the scattering operators in the basis of the wave functions of a harmonic oscillator. The method allows an immediate extension to the problem of three and more bodies.     

A convergent boundary integral method for three-dimensional water waves

We design a boundary integral method for time-dependent, three-dimensional, doubly periodic water waves and prove that it converges with accuracy, without restriction on amplitude. The moving surface is represented by grid points which are transported according to a computed velocity. An integral equation arising from potential theory is solved for the normal velocity. A new method is developed for the integration of singular integrals, in which the Green's function is regularized and an efficient local correction to the trapezoidal rule is computed. The sums replacing the singular integrals are treated as discrete versions of pseudodifferential operators and are shown to have mapping properties like the exact operators. The scheme is designed so that the error is governed by evolution equations which mimic the structure of the original problem, and in this way stability can be assured. The wavelike character of the exact equations of motion depends on the positivity of the operator which assigns to a function on the surface the normal derivative of its harmonic extension; similarly, the stability of the scheme depends on maintaining this property for the discrete operator. With grid points, the scheme can be implemented with essentially operations per time step.

The quasilinearization method on an unbounded domain

We apply a method of quasilinearization to a boundary value problem for an ordinary differential equation on an unbounded domain. A uniquely determined Green's function, which is integrable and of fixed sign, is employed. The hypotheses to apply the quasilinearization method imply uniqueness of solutions. The quasilinearization method generates a bilateral iteration scheme in which the iterates converge monotonically and quadratically to the unique solution.

     

A generalization of D. A. Grave's method for plane boundary-value problems in harmonic potential theory

The article describes and proves D. A. Grave's method that solves classical plane boundary-value problems for the Green's function of the Laplace equation in regions whose boundaries are smooth analytical curves defined by finite-order irreducible polynomials. The proposed method has certain advantages compared with the method that constructs the Green's function by conformally mapping the original region onto the unit disk. A class of regions are identified for which Grave's methods produces an explicit analytical solution in convergent-series form. This is a natural generalization of the conformal mapping method for simplest regions. Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 1, pp. 5–19, 1999.     

Perturbation theory for the periodic Anderson model: II. Superconducting state

A new diagram technique, which has been developed for strongly correlated electron systems, is used to study the periodic Anderson model in the superconducting state. To treat both normal and anomalous Green's functions on an equal footing, we introduce an additional charge quantum number that distinguishes creation and annihilation operators. We derive the Dyson equations for the Green's functions of band and localized electrons in the presence of superconductivity. The equations obtained admit both singlet-type and triplet-type superconductivity. For singlet-type superconductivity, we establish the correspondence between these equations and the spinor Gor'kov-Nambu formalism.

Ursell's approach to obtaining an a priori estimate for the solution of the Neumann problem for the Helmholtz equation

The geometric optics asymptotic expression for Green's function for the Helmholtz equation in the exterior of a bounded convex region in R³ is rigorously justified (it is assumed that the Neumann boundary condition is satisfied). An integral equation constructed by a three-dimensional analogue of Ursell's method from Green's function for a paraboloid of revolution is the basis of all considerations. Analysis of this integral equation also makes it possible to prove the exponential decay of Green's function for the Helmholtz equation in the zone of deep shadow.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Weyl–Titchmarsh theory for CMV operators associated with orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle

We provide a detailed treatment of Weyl–Titchmarsh theory for half-lattice and full-lattice CMV operators and discuss their systems of orthonormal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle, spectral functions, variants of Weyl–Titchmarsh functions, and Green's functions. In particular, we discuss the corresponding spectral representations of half-lattice and full-lattice CMV operators.     

Failure of the discrete maximum principle for an elliptic finite element problem

There has been a long-standing question of whether certain mesh restrictions are required for a maximum condition to hold for the discrete equations arising from a finite element approximation of an elliptic problem. This is related to knowing whether the discrete Green's function is positive for triangular meshes allowing sufficiently good approximation of functions. We study this question for the Poisson problem in two dimensions discretized via the Galerkin method with continuous piecewise linears. We give examples which show that in general the answer is negative, and furthermore we extend the number of cases where it is known to be positive. Our techniques utilize some new results about discrete Green's functions that are of independent interest.

     

Green's function in plane anisotropic bimaterials with imperfect interface

^** Email: lsudak{at}ucalgary.ca The fundamental solutions or Green's functions for 2D or 3Danisotropic media with imperfect interface remain a challengingproblem. In this paper, a general method is presented for therigorous solution for the 2D Green's function in an anisotropicelastic bimaterial subject to a line force or a line dislocation.Most significant is the fact that the bonding along the bimaterialinterface is considered to be homogeneous imperfect. Specifically,the tractions are continuous but the displacements are discontinuousand proportional, in terms of interface stiffness parameters,to their respective traction components. Using complex variabletechniques, the basic boundary-value problem for two analyticvector functions is reduced to a coupled linear first-orderdifferential equation for a single analytic vector functiondefined in the lower half space. The coupled linear differentialequation for the single analytic vector function can be subsequentlydecoupled into three independent linear first-order differentialequations for three newly defined analytic functions. Closed-formsolutions for the 2D Green's function are derived in terms ofthe exponential integral. Unlike previous works which involvesome sort of inverse transform method to obtain the physicalquantities from the transform domain, the key feature of thepresent method is that the physical quantities can be readilycalculated without the need to perform any inverse transformoperations.
