Nonlinear electrodynamic lensing of electromagnetic waves in a magnetic dipole field

We consider propagation of electromagnetic waves in magnetic dipole and gravitational fields proceeding in accordance with the nonlinear vacuum electrodynamics laws. We derive formulas describing the effect of nonlinear electrodynamic lensing of electromagnetic waves in the magnetic dipole field. We show that rotation of the magnetic dipole moment about an axis noncoincident with this moment leads to a nonlinear electrodynamic modulation of the electromagnetic radiation intensity by frequencies that are multiples of the dipole rotation frequency. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 150, No. 1, pp. 85–94, January, 2007.     

The classical hyperbolic Askey-Wilson dynamics without bound states

We construct an explicit action-angle map for the classical hyperbolic Askey-Wilson dynamics (also known as the relativistic BC₁ Calogero-Moser system), restricting the four coupling constants such that no bound states occur. Its features are exact classical analogues of features previously obtained for the quantum eigenfunction transformation. Our construction involves neither scattering theory nor a Lax matrix; instead, it is based on a certain self-duality identity. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 154, No. 3, pp. 492–509, March, 2008.     

Direct problem of calculating the magnetic dipole field in a quasilayered medium

A method is developed for calculating the electromagnetic field of a magnetic dipole in a quasilayered two-dimensional medium. The quasi-three-dimensional problem is reduced to a two-dimensional problem for the Fourier-transformed electromagnetic field. An equivalent system of integral equations on the layer boundaries is obtained. This research was partially supported by the State Scientific-Technical Program “Future Information Technologies” (grant No. 0201.06.010) and the Interuniversity Scientific Program “Russian Universities: Basic Research.” Translated from Chislennye Metody v Matematicheskoi Fizike, Moscow State University, pp. 94–110, 1998.     

Mathematical modeling of the vertical magnetic dipole field in a two-dimensional nonhomogeneous medium

We consider a quasi-three-dimensional problem of remote marine sounding by a high-power stationary source located on land. A transition from the three-dimensional problem to a family of parametric two-dimensional problems is performed. The solution of the remote marine sounding problem is obtained with high accuracy after solving about 20 two-dimensional problems. The integral equations are solved by the modified integral current method, which has proved highly efficient for field computations inside a strongly conducting anomaly. The electric field amplitude is observed to increase with depth. The width of the coastal current channel is estimated by analyzing the vertical magnetic field component.     

Calculation of the magnetic field due to a bioelectric current dipole in an ellipsoid

The bioelectric current dipole model is important both theoretically and computationally in the study of electrical activity in the brain and stomach due to the resemblance of the shape of these two organs to an ellipsoid. To calculate the magnetic field B due to a dipole in an ellipsoid, one must evaluate truncated series expansions involving ellipsoidal harmonics , which are products of Lamé functions. In this article, we extend a strictly analytic model (G. Dassios and F. Kariotou, J. Math. Phys. 44 (2003), 220–241), where B was computed from an ellipsoidal harmonic expansion of order 2. The present derivations show how the field can be evaluated to arbitrary order using numerical procedures for evaluating the roots of Lamé polynomials of degree 5 or higher. This can be accomplished using an optimization technique for solving nonlinear systems of equations, which allows one to acquire an understanding of the truncation error associated with the harmonic series expansion used for the calculation.

Fast computation of the field of a vertical magnetic dipole above a layered medium

We consider the direct problem of aeroelectrosounding for a layered medium. The specific feature of this problem is that its solution is representable as a Bessel transform of a function ƒ of a certain type. We have developed and implemented a method for fast computation of the Bessel transform of such functions. The method relies on the approximation of ƒ by a linear combination of exponentials with prespecified exponents. The Bessel transform of the original function ƒ is computed analytically as the Bessel transform of the approximating linear combination. Numerical computations have been carried out. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Matematika i Informatika, No. 26, pp. 39–48, 2007.     

Evolution of the magnetic field in plasma in a neighborhood of zero points

We consider a mathematical model of magnetic reconnection in a neighborhood of singular points in the framework of 3D magnetohydrodynamics. In the case of linear dependence of the magnetic field and the velocity on coordinates, we present self-similar solutions of the system of MHD equations. For an arbitrary initial magnetic configuration, we state a mixed problem, which is solved numerically. We describe a semi-implicit algorithm for the solution of the difference problem and present the results of several numerical experiments.

Lifschitz tail in a magnetic field: coexistence of classical and quantum behavior in the borderline case

We establish the exact low-energy asymptotics of the integrated density of states (Lifschitz tail) in a homogeneous magnetic field and Poissonian impurities with a repulsive single-site potential of Gaussian decay. It has been known that the Gaussian potential tail discriminates between the so-called “classical” and “quantum” regimes, and precise asymptotics are known in these cases. For the borderline case, the coexistence of the classical and quantum regimes was conjectured. Here we settle this last remaining open case to complete the full picture of the magnetic Lifschitz tails.

The semiclassical structure of low-energy states in the presence of a magnetic field

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold with a Hermitian line bundle whose curvature is non-degenerate. The Laplacian acting on high tensor powers (the semiclassical regime) of the bundle exhibits a cluster of low-energy states. We demonstrate that the orthogonal projectors onto these states are the Fourier components of an operator with the structure of the Szegö projector, i.e. a Fourier integral operator of Hermite type. This result yields semiclassical asymptotics for the low-energy eigenstates.

     

Irradiation of a cone by a magnetic dipole

Th electromagnetic field produced by a magnetic dipole in thepresence of a perfectly conducting cone of arbitrary cross-sectionis determined. The solution is used to find out how a currenton the cone travelling towards the apex is reflected. Some valuesof the reflection coefficient are calculated. In particular,it is shown that there is a sort of resonance with the reflectionincreasing significantly as the cone approaches a plane.     

An error analysis for a difference scheme of exponential type applied to a nonlinear singular perturbation problem without turning points

A difference scheme of exponential type given in [5] is analyzed again for solving a nonlinear singular perturbation problem without turning points. It is shown that a solution of the scheme converges, uniformly in a perturbation parameter, to an exact solution of the continuous problem with order one in L¹ sense.
