Wave equation for anyons and its exact solutions in external fields

By using the gauge-invariance, a Klein-Gordon’s type equation for anyons in external fields is constructed. The equation can be solved exactly in a constant electric and magnetic field, as well as in a quantized electromagnetic field. The analytic forms of solutions are also given in detail.     

Homogenization of the Stokes Problem With Non-homogeneous Slip Boundary Conditions

We study the Stokes system with non-homogeneous Fourier boundary conditions depending on a parameter, in a domain with periodic inclusions of the size of the period. Following the values of this parameter, we obtain at the limit a Darcy's law, a Brinkmann type equation or a Stokes type equation. We also present a physical model to which the results apply. This model describes the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a porous medium under the action of an exterior electric field.     

Mathematical model of the Galathea-belt toroidal magnetic trap

We consider a mathematical model of equilibrium configurations of plasma, magnetic field, and electric field in a toroidal trap with two ring conductors with current loaded into plasma. We present the mathematical apparatus of the model based on the numerical solution of boundary value problems for the Grad–Shafranov equation (a differential equation of elliptic type for the magnetic flux function), solution methods for these problems, and numerically obtained properties of equilibrium configurations. We indicate the differences in configurations in the toroidal trap and in its analog straightened into a cylinder.

On a Painlevé II Model in Steady Electrolysis: Application of a Bäcklund Transformation

A model equation of Painlevé II type was introduced by Bass in 1964 in connection with a boundary value problem which describes the electric field distribution in a region x > 0 occupied by an electrolyte. This is possibly the earliest explicit physical application of a Painlevé equation to be found in the literature. Here we return to this problem informed by the subsequent discovery of a Bäcklund transformation for Painlevé II. This enables us to construct exact representations for the electric field and ion distributions for boundary value problems wherein the ratio of fluxes of the positive and negative ions at the boundary adopts one of an infinite sequence of values.     

A viscous approximation for a 2-D steady semiconductor or transonic gas dynamic flow: Existence theorem for potential flow

In this paper we solve a boundary value problem in a two-dimensional domain O for a system of equations of Fluid-Poisson type, that is, a viscous approximation to a potential equation for the velocity coupled with an ordinary differential equation along the streamlines for the density and a Poisson equation for the electric field. A particular case of this system is a viscous approximation of transonic flow models. The general case is a model for semiconductors. We show existence of a density ρ, velocity potential φ, and electric potential Φ in the bounded domain O that are C^1,α(O¯), C^2,α(O¯), and W^2,α(O¯) functions, respectively, such that ρ, φ, Φ, the speed |Δφ|, and the electric field E = ΔΦ are uniformly bounded in the viscous parameter. This is a necessary step in the existing programs in order to show existence of a solution for the transonic flow problem. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Neutral Fermion Having Electric and Magnetic Moments in an External Electromagnetic Field

We show that in 2+1 dimensions, the Dirac equation for a neutral fermion possessing electric and magnetic dipole moments in an external electromagnetic field reduces to the Dirac equation for a charged fermion in a external field characterized by a certain 3-pseudo-vector potential. The effective charge of the neutral fermion is determined by its dipole moments. The effects of coupling electric and magnetic moments of the neutral fermion to the external electromagnetic field seem to be inseparable in physical experiments of any type. We find an exact solution of the Dirac equation for a massive neutral fermion with electric and magnetic dipole moments in a external plane-wave electromagnetic field. We derive expressions for the fermionic vacuum current induced by neutral fermions in the presence of external electromagnetic fields.     

Modelling thermal front dynamics in microwave heating

The formation and propagation of thermal fronts in a cylindricalmedium that is undergoing microwave heating is studied in detail.The model consists of Maxwell's wave equation coupled to a temperaturediffusion equation containing a bistable nonlinear term. When the thermal diffusivity is sufficiently small the leading-ordertemperature solution of a singular perturbation analysis isused to reduce the system to a free boundary problem. This approximationis then used to derive predictions for the steady-state penetrationand profiles of the temperature and electric fields. These solutionsare valid for arbitrary values of the electric conductivity,and thus extend the previous (small conductivity) results foundin the literature. A quasi-static approximation for the electric field is thenused to obtain an ordinary differential equation for the relaxationdynamics to the steady state. This equation appears to accuratelydescribe the time scale of the electric field's evolution bothwith and without the presence of a strongly coupled temperaturefront, and may be of wider interest than the model for microwaveheating studied here.     

Perturbative expansion of the energy eigenvalues for the planar quantum rotor based on the calculation of a finite degree secular polynomial

The free planar rotor system is introduced and the interaction of this system with an external electric field is studied. The quantum problem is governed by an equation of Mathieu type. This is done by evaluating a finite secular polynomial corresponding to a matrix representation of the Hamiltonian for the system. It is shown that perturbative expansions for the energy can be evaluated in powers of the coupling constant.

Dynamic bilateral contact problem for viscoelastic piezoelectric materials with adhesion

A model of a dynamic viscoelastic adhesive contact between a piezoelectric body and a deformable foundation is described. The model consists of a system of the hemivariational inequality of hyperbolic type for the displacement, the time dependent elliptic equation for the electric potential and the ordinary differential equation for the adhesion field. In the hemivariational inequality the friction forces are derived from a nonconvex superpotential through the generalized Clarke subdifferential. The existence of a weak solution is proved by embedding the problem into a class of second-order evolution inclusions and by applying a surjectivity result for multivalued operators.     

The well‐posedness of the electric field integral equation for transient scattering from a perfectly conducting body

We consider the scattering of a transient electromagnetic field incident on a body with a smooth, perfectly conducting surface. A standard numerical method for calculating the scattered field is to use a time dependent, surface integral equation (called the electric field integral equation) to calculate the surface currents and charges induced by the incident field—these currents and charges then yield the scattered fields by means of standard integral representations (vector and scalar potentials). In this paper we show that the time‐dependent electric field integral equation is well‐posed in a suitable function space setting. We also investigate the behaviour of the solutions at large time.

Electrified thin films: Global existence of non-negative solutions

We consider an equation modeling the evolution of a viscous liquid thin film wetting a horizontal solid substrate destabilized by an electric field normal to the substrate. The effects of the electric field are modeled by a lower order non-local term. We introduce the good functional analysis framework to study this equation on a bounded domain and prove the existence of weak solutions defined globally in time for general initial data (with finite energy).     

Convergence of the Galerkin methods for equations with elliptic operators on subspaces and solving the electric field equation

Application of the Galerkin methods to the numerical analysis of the integro-differential electric field equation is justified. The convergence of the Galerkin methods is established for a class of equations with nonelliptic operators comprising the electric field equation. Theorems concerning the approximation of the elements belonging to a special Sobolev space by the basis Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions are proved. The rate of convergence is estimated.     

On the equivalence of the electromagnetic problem of diffraction by an inhomogeneous bounded dielectric body to a volume singular integro-differential equation

The paper is concerned with the smoothness of the solutions to the volume singular integrodifferential equations for the electric field to which the problem of electromagnetic-wave diffraction by a local inhomogeneous bounded dielectric body is reduced. The basic tool of the study is the method of pseudo-differential operators in Sobolev spaces. The theory of elliptic boundary problems and field-matching problems is also applied. It is proven that, for smooth data of the problem, the solution from the space of square-summable functions is continuous up to the boundaries and smooth inside and outside of the body. The results on the smoothness of the solutions to the volume singular integro-differential equation for the electric field make it possible to resolve the issues on the equivalence of the boundary value problem and the equation.

On the Derivation of the Quasi-steady Model in Electrochemical Machining

The use is discussed of the quasi-steady model, based on theirrotationality of the electric field between the electroded,in electrochemical machining. The general equations are derivedwhich describe the process. From Maxwell's equations, a non-dimensionalparameter, dependent on the physical characteristics of theprocess, is derived. When this paramter is sufficiently small,the electric field is shown to be appromimately irrotational.A quasi-steady model is then formulated in terms of Laplace'sequation togther with an equation relating the change of themode anode surface with the electric field evaluated at theanode surface. This equation can be derived from Ohm's and Faraday'slaws. Different methods for solving the associated boundaryvalue problem are discussed.     

Waveform stability of a traveling high-field domain in a Gunn diode

We assume that a constant voltage is applied across a sample of a Gunn diode of finite length. When a periodic boundary condition is assumed, the dynamical behavior of the electric field within the sample is described by a nonlinear integral-partial differential equation. By using this equation, we can study the waveform stability of a traveling high-field domain of solitary-wave type which plays an essential role in the Gunn effect. We obtain simple criteria which the sample length and the applied voltage must satisfy for the existence and stability of the high-field domain. The stability analysis is carried out by using Liapunov's second method.     

Nonlinear stability of an axial electric field: Effect of interfacial charge relaxation

We introduce a nonlinear perturbation technique to third order, to study the stability between two cylindrical inviscid fluids, subjected to an axial electric field. The study takes into account the relaxation of electrical charges at the interface between the two fluids. At first order, a linear dispersion relation is obtained. Analytical and numerical results for the overstability and incipient instability conditions are given. For perfect dielectric fluids, the electric field has a stabilizing influence, while for leaky dielectric fluids, the electric field can have either a stabilizing or a destabilizing influence depending on the conductivity and permittivity ratios of the two fluids. At higher order, a nonlinear dispersion relation (nonlinear Ginzburg–Landau equation) is derived, describing the evolution of wave packets of the problem. For leaky dielectric fluids near the marginal state, a nonlinear diffusion equation (nonlinear incipient instability) is obtained. For perfect dielectric fluids, two cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equations are obtained. One of these equations to determine a nonlinear cutoff electric field separating stable and unstable disturbance, whereas the other is used to analyze the stability of the system. It is found that the nonlinear stability criterion depending on the ratio of permittivity, Such effects can only be explained successfully in the nonlinear sense, as the linear analysis unsuccessful to inform about them.     

Energy estimates and numerical verification of the stabilized Domain Decomposition Finite Element/Finite Difference approach for time-dependent Maxwell’s system

We rigorously derive energy estimates for the second order vector wave equation with gauge condition for the electric field with non-constant electric permittivity function. This equation is used in the stabilized Domain Decomposition Finite Element/Finite Difference approach for time-dependent Maxwell’s system. Our numerical experiments illustrate efficiency of the modified hybrid scheme in two and three space dimensions when the method is applied for generation of backscattering data in the reconstruction of the electric permittivity function.
