Quantum wave equations and non-radiating electromagnetic sources

A connection between classical non-radiating sources and free-particle wave equations in quantum mechanics is rigorously made. It is proven that free-particle wave equations for all spins have currents which can be defined and which are non-radiating electromagnetic sources. It is also proven that and the advanced and retarded fields are exactly equal for these sources. Implications of these results are discussed.

Metric-torsion gravitational theories

It is shown that under certain assumptions the Einstein-Cartan field equations are not unique but may reasonably be modified to a degree. These modified Einstein-Cartan equations are proven to be unique under quite general conditions and are likely the most general equations in any metric-torsion gravitational theory whose field equations are derivable from a variational principle and such that their geometric part is independent of constants other than the speed of light and the gravitational constant.     

Yang-Mills fields with nonquadratic energy

A gauge-invariant nonlinear Hodge-de Rham system is introduced. These equations have the same relation to the Yang-Mills equations that the conventional nonlinear Hodge equations have to the equations of classical Hodge theory. Conditions are given under which weak solutions are locally Hölder continuous. The existence of solutions is proven for variational points of a certain class of nonquadratic energy functionals.     

Leader--Follower Consensus Problems of Multi-agent Systems with Noise Perturbation and Time Delays

In light of the stability theory for stochastic differential delay equations, the leader--followerconsensus problem with noise perturbation and communication time delays is investigated. Communication among agents is modelled as a weighted directed graph and the weights are stochastically perturbed with white noise. It is analytically proven that the consensus could be achieved almost surely with the perturbation of noise and communication time delays. Furthermore, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results     

Molecular extended thermodynamics of rarefied polyatomic gases and wave velocities for increasing number of moments

Molecular extended thermodynamics of rarefied polyatomic gases is characterized by two hierarchies of equations for moments of a suitable distribution function in which the internal degrees of freedom of a molecule is taken into account. On the basis of physical relevance the truncation orders of the two hierarchies are proven to be not independent on each other, and the closure procedures based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP) and on the entropy principle (EP) are proven to be equivalent.

Equivalence of integral equations in the molecular theory of fluids

It is proven that, under physically reasonable conditions, the correlation functions satisfying the BBGKY equations for an infinite system are also solutions of the Mayer-Montroll and Kirkwood-Salsburg equations. The relation between these correlation functions and the probability distributions for finding a fixed number of particles in a given finite region of an infinite system is investigated. The Gibbsian nature of these probability distributions is shown to depend on the range of the intermolecular forces.     

Algebraic structure and Poisson integrals of a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system

We have studied the algebraic structure of the dynamical equations of a rotational relativistic Birkhoff system. It is proven that autonomous and semi-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equations possess consistent algebraic structure and Lie algebraic structure. In general, non-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equations possess no algebraic structure, but a type of special non-autonomous rotational relativistic Birkhoff equation possesses consistent algebraic structure and consistent Lie algebraic structure. Then, we obtain the Poisson integrals of the dynamical equations of the rotational relativistic Birkhoff system. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the application of the results.

Boltzmann Equations For Mixtures of Maxwell Gases: Exact Solutions and Power Like Tails

We consider the Boltzmann equations for mixtures of Maxwell gases. It is shown that in certain limiting case the equations admit self-similar solutions that can be constructed in explicit form. More precisely, the solutions have simple explicit integral representations. The most interesting solutions have finite energy and power like tails. This shows that power like tails can appear not just for granular particles (Maxwell models are far from reality in this case), but also in the system of particles interacting in accordance with laws of classical mechanics. In addition, non-existence of positive self-similar solutions with finite moments of any order is proven for a wide class of Maxwell models.

Spherically Symmetric Static Solutions of the Einstein Equations with Elastic Matter Source

The Einstein equations for a spherically symmetric static distribution of elastic matter are examined. The existence of regular solutions near the center is proven under a fairly mild hypothesis on the constitutive equation. These solutions are uniquely determined by the choice of central pressure and constitutive equation. It is also shown for a Hookean elastic material that these solutions can be integrated outward till the radial pressure vanishes, thus one can join an exterior Schwarzschild metric to obtain a maximal solution of the Einstein equations.     

On the invariance of constitutive equations according to the kinetic theory of gases

Iterative techniques for solving the Boltzmann equation in the kinetic theory of gases yield expressions for the stress tensor and heat flux vector that are analogous to constitutive equations in continuum mechanics. However, these expressions are not generally invariant under the Euclidean group of transformations, whereas constitutive equations in continuum mechanics are usually required to be by the principle of material frame indifference. This disparity in invariance properties has led some previous investigators to argue that Euclidean invariance should be discarded as a contraint on constitutive equations. It is proven mathematically in this paper that the results of the Chapman-Enskog iterative procedure have no direct bearing on this issue. In order to settle this question, it is necessary to examine mathematically the effect of superimposed rigid body rotations on solutions of the Boltzmann equation. A preliminary investigation along these lines is presented which suggests that the kinetic theory is consistent with material frame indifference in at least a strong approximate sense provided that the disparity in the time scales of the microscopic and macroscopic motions is extremely large—a condition which is usually a prerequisite for the existence of constitutive equations.On leave from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030.     

Finite difference methods for two-dimensional fractional dispersion equation

Fractional order partial differential equations, as generalizations of classical integer order partial differential equations, are increasingly used to model problems in fluid flow, finance and other areas of application. In this paper we discuss a practical alternating directions implicit method to solve a class of two-dimensional initial-boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. First-order consistency, unconditional stability, and (therefore) first-order convergence of the method are proven using a novel shifted version of the classical Grünwald finite difference approximation for the fractional derivatives. A numerical example with known exact solution is also presented, and the behavior of the error is examined to verify the order of convergence.     

Universally coupled massive gravity, II: Densitized tetrad and cotetrad theories

Einstein’s equations in a tetrad formulation are derived from a linear theory in flat spacetime with an asymmetric potential using free field gauge invariance, local Lorentz invariance and universal coupling. The gravitational potential can be either covariant or contravariant and of almost any density weight. These results are adapted to produce universally coupled massive variants of Einstein’s equations, yielding two one-parameter families of distinct theories with spin 2 and spin 0. The theories derived, upon fixing the local Lorentz gauge freedom, are seen to be a subset of those found by Ogievetsky and Polubarinov some time ago using a spin limitation principle. In view of the stability question for massive gravities, the proven non-necessity of positive energy for stability in applied mathematics in some contexts is recalled. Massive tetrad gravities permit the mass of the spin 0 to be heavier than that of the spin 2, as well as lighter than or equal to it, and so provide phenomenological flexibility that might be of astrophysical or cosmological use.     

On the Grand Canonical Gibbs Ensemble in Euclidean Field Theory

By generalizing the integration by parts formula on the function space, the isomorphism between the general class of selfinteracting Euclidean, Bose fields and classical gases is proven in a nonperturbative way. Rigorous, non-perturbative derivations of the Mayer equations and Bogoliubov-Born-Kirkwood-Grenn-Yvone hierarchical equations are given. Expansions of several physical quantities are discussed in terms of the linear graphs, for some general classes of Euclidean fields.
