De Haas-van Alphen Effect of Free Electron Gas Revisited

The free electron gas in a uniform magnetic field at low temperature is restudied. The grand partition function previously obtained by Landau＇s quantitative calculation contains three parts, which are all approximate. An improved calculation is presented, in which two of the three parts are obtained in exact forms. A simple remedy for Landau and Lifshitz＇s qualitative calculation in the textbook is also given, which turns the qualitative result into the same one as obtained by the improved quantitative calculation. The chemical potential is solved approximately and the thermodynamic quantities are caiculated explicitly in both a weak field and a strong field. The thermodynamic quantities in a strong field obtained here contain both non-oscillating and oscillating corrections to the corresponding results derived from Landau＇s grand partition function. In particular, Landau＇s grand partition function is not sufficiently accurate to yield our nonzero results for the specific heat and the entropy. An error in the Laplace-transform method for the problem is corrected. The results previously obtained by this method are also improved.     

Localized States of an Excess Electron in an Ionic Cluster

A theory of an electron affinity for an ionic cluster is proposed both in a quasiclassical approach and with quantization of a polarization electric field in a nanopartiele. A critical size of the cluster regarding in formation of an electron＇s autolocalized state, dependencies of energy and radius of a polaron on a cluster＇s size are obtained by a variational method. It has been found that binding energy of the electron in the cluster depends on a eluster＇s radius but a radius of electron＇s auto-localization does not depend on the cluster＇s radius and it equals to the polaron radius in a corresponding infinity crystal. A bound state of the electron in a cluster is possible only if the duster＇s radius is more than the polaron radius.     

Demonstration of Inverse Scattering Transform for DNLS Equation

Since the Jost solutions of the DNLS equation does not tend to the free Jost solutioins as ｜λ｜→∞, the usual inverse scattering transform （IST） must be revised. Beside the Kaup and Newell＇s approach, we propose a simple revision in constructing the equations of IST, where the usual Zakharov-Shabat kern is revised by multiplying λ^-2 or λ^-1. To justify the revision we show that the Jost solutions obtained do satisfy the pair of compatibility equations.     

A methodology to achieve the basis function for the expansion of sound speed profile

In order to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the Empirical Orthogonal Functions（EOFs）in the acoustic inversion of sound speed profile（SSP）and reduce EOF＇s dependence on the sample data,a methodology is proposed for the achievement of the basis functions for SSP＇s expansion.By analyzing the oceanographic dynamics which is the main cause of the SSP＇s variation,the basis functions are obtained naming the Hydrodynamic Normal Modes（HNMs）.The HNM basis functions are almost the same as those derived from the EOF method,while HNMs has less dependence on the amount of the sample data.HNMs method has a physically meaningful interpretation,and it could give out the physical parameters which determine the basis functions for the expansion of SSP,and this makes it possible to analyze and evaluate the trustiness and applicability of EOFs.     

Quantum Secret Sharing Protocol between Multiparty and Multiparty with Single Photons and Unitary Transformations

We propose a scheme of quantum secret sharing between Alice＇s group and Bob＇s group with single photons and unitary transformations. In the protocol, one member in Alice＇s group prepares a sequence of single photons in one of four different states, while other members directly encode their information on the sequence of single photons via unitary operations; after that, the last member sends the sequence of single photons to Bob＇s group. Then Bob＇s, except for the last one, do work similarly. Finally the last member in Bob＇s group measures the qubits. If the security of the quantum channel is guaranteed by some tests, then the qubit states sent by the last member of Alice＇s group can be used as key bits for secret sharing. It is shown that this scheme is safe.     

Variational regularization method of solving the Cauchy problem for Laplace＇s equation： Innovation of the Grad-Shafranov （GS） reconstruction

The simplified linear model of Grad-Shafranov （GS） reconstruction can be reformulated into an inverse boundary value problem of Laplace＇s equation. Therefore, in this paper we focus on the method of solving the inverse boundary value problem of Laplace＇s equation. In the first place, the variational regularization method is used to deal with the ill- posedness of the Cauchy problem for Laplace＇s equation. Then, the ＇L-Curve＇ principle is suggested to be adopted in choosing the optimal regularization parameter. Finally, a numerical experiment is implemented with a section of Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions with observation errors. The results well converge to the exact solution of the problem, which proves the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method. When the order of observation error δ is 10-1, the order of the approximate result error can reach 10-3.     

Quantum Monty Hall Problem under Decoherence

We study the effect of decoherence on quantum Monty Hall problem under the influence of amplitude damping, depolarizing, and dephasing channels. It is shown that under the effect of decoherence, there is a Nash equilibrium of the game in case of depolarizing channel for Alice＇s quantum strategy. Whereas in case of dephasing noise, the game is not influenced by the quantum channel. For amplitude damping channel, Bob＇s payoffs are found symmetrical about a decoherence of 50% and the maximum occurs at this value of decoherence for his classical strategy. However, it is worth-mentioning that in case of depolarizing channel, Bob＇s classical strategy remains always dominant against any choice of Alice＇s strategy.     

Electronic Stopping Power for 0.05--10MeV Protons in a Group of Organic Materials

Electronic stopping powers for 0. 05-10 MeV protons in a group of organic materials are systematically calculated. The calculations are based on Ashley＇s dielectric model, and an evaluation approach of optical energy loss function is incorporated into Ashley＇s model because no experimental optical data are available for most of the organic materials under consideration. The Barkas-effect correction and Bloch correction are included. The proton stopping powers for the considered organic materials except for mylar in the energy range from 0.05 to 10 MeV are presented for the first time. The results may be useful for studies of various radiation effects in these materials and for space research.     

Bell＇s Inequality for a System Composed of Particles with Different Spins

For two particles with different spins, we derive the Bell＇s inequality. The inequality is investigated for two systems combining spin-1 and spin-1/; spin-1/2 and spin-3/2. We show that for these states Bell＇s inequality is violated.     

New Closed Expression of Interaction Kernel in Bethe-Salpeter Equation for Quark-Antiquark Bound States

The interaction kernel in the Bethe-Salpeter equation for quark-antiquark bound states is derived newly from QCD in the case where the quark and the antiquark are of different flavors. The technique of the derivation is the usage of the irreducible decomposition of the Green＇s functions involved in the Bethe-Salpeter equation satisfied by the quark-antiquark four-point Green＇s function. The interaction kernel derived is given a closed and explicit expression which shows a specific structure of the kernel since the kernel is represented in terms of the quark, antiquark and gluon propagators and some kinds of quark, antiquark and/or gluon three, four, five and six-point vertices. Therefore, the expression of the kernel is not only convenient for perturbative calculations, but also suitable for nonperturbative investigations.

Beside the Kaup and Newell's approach, we propose a simple revision in constructing the equations of IST, where the usual Zakharov-Shabat kern is revised by multiplying λ-2 or λ-1.

Marchenko Equation for the Derivative Nonlinear SchrSdinger Equation

A simple derivation of the Marchenko equation is given for the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The kernel of the Marchenko equation is demanded to satisfy the conditions given by the compatibility equations. The soliton solutions to the Marchenko equation are verified. The derivation is not concerned with the revisions of Kaup and Newell.     

Invariant solutions and conservation laws of the generalized Kaup–Boussinesq equation

The generalized Kaup–Boussinesq equation is a model which is used to describe the water wave. In this paper, Lie group analysis method is used to perform detailed analysis on the generalized Kaup–Boussinesq equation. Some invariant solutions are obtained under the transformation groups. The conservation laws of the generalized Kaup–Boussinesq equation are constructed using two methods: multiplier method and Ibragimov theorem.     

Symmetry analysis and explicit power series solutions of the Boussinesq–Whitham–Broer–Kaup equation

This paper focus on two aspects. Firstly, symmetry analysis is performed for the Boussinesq–Whitham–Broer–Kaup equation which can degenerate to the Boussinesq equation, the Whitham–Broer–Kaup equation and the Broer–Kaup equation. As a byproduct, the similarity reductions and exact solutions of the equation are constructed based on the optimal systems. Secondly, the explicit solutions are considered by the power series method. Moreover, the convergence of the power series solutions are shown. The physical significance of the solutions is considered from the transformation group point of view.     

INVARIANCE OF THE KAUP–KUPERSHMIDT EQUATION AND TRIANGULAR AUTO-BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATIONS

We report triangular auto-Bäcklund transformations for the solutions of a fifth-order evolution equation, which is a constraint for an invariance condition of the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation derived by E. G. Reyes in his paper titled "Nonlocal symmetries and the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation" [J. Math. Phys. 46 (2005) 073507, 19 pp.]. These auto-Bäcklund transformations can then be applied to generate solutions of the Kaup–Kupershmidt equation. We show that triangular auto-Bäcklund transformations result from a systematic multipotentialization of the Kupershmidt equation.     

Integrable motions of curves in projective geometries

In this paper, integrable systems satisfied by the curvatures of curves under inextensible motions in projective geometries are identified. It is shown that motions of curves in two-, three- and four-dimensional projective geometries are respectively related to the Kaup–Kupershmidt hierarchy, a coupled Kaup–Kupershmidt–KdV system and their extension.     

Similarity Reductions of （2＋1）-Dimensional Multi-component Broer-Kaup System

Painleve property of the （2＋1）-dimensional multi-component Broer-Kaup （BK） system is considered by using the standard Weiss Kruskal approaches. Applying the Clarkson and Kruskal （CK） direct method to the （2＋1）- dimensional multi-component BK system, some types of similarity reductions are obtained. By solving the reductions, one can get the solutions of the （2＋1）-dimensional multi-component BK system.     

Periodic Folded Wave Patterns for （2＋1）-Dimensional Higher-Order Broer-Kaup Equation

A general solution including three arbitrary functions is obtained for the （2＋1）-dimensional higher-order Broer-Kaup equation by means of WTC truncation method. Introducing proper multiple valued functions and Jacobi elliptic functions in the seed solution, special types of periodic folded waves are derived. In long wave limit these periodic folded wave patterns may degenerate into single localized folded solitary wave excitations. The interactions of the periodic folded waves and their degenerated single folded solitary waves are investigated graphically and are found to be completely elastic.     

Lax pair,infinitely-many conservation laws and soliton solutions for a set of the time-dependent Whitham-Broer-Kaup equations for the shallow water

Under investigation in this paper is a set of the time-dependent Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations, which is used for the shallow water under the Boussinesq approximation. The equations can be transformed into generalized time-dependent coefficient Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system via the variable transformation. Lax pair, infinitely-many conservation laws and bilinear forms of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system are obtained. One-, two- and three-soliton solutions are derived via the Hirota bilinear method. The solitons are physically related to the horizontal velocity field and height that deviates from equilibrium position of the water. Features of the solitons are studied: Soliton amplitude is related to the wave number parameters, while the soliton velocity is related to the wave number parameters and variable coefficient. Interactions between/among the solitons could be elastic or inelastic, determined by the wave number parameters. Interaction property could not be affected by the variable coefficient. Soliton stability is studied via the numerical calculation, which indicates that the solitons could only propagate steadily in a limited time.
