Elastic properties of honeycomb sandwich plates with nontraditional cell forms

A method for correcting the elastic properties of honeycomb sandwich plates by changing the cell shape is described. Compact and convenient analytical expressions (1) are proposed for calculating the reduced elastic parameters of the honeycomb sandwich plates. The acceptable range of changes in the size of the honeycombs is restricted by the cell elongation region [0.5;2] and the region of variation of the angle between cell walls [/6; 5/6]. The results of the calculation experiment showed that the traditional cell shape (=/3, =1) is not effective as an optimum structure (Table 1).Institute of Transport Systems and Technologies (Transmag), National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine.

Hybrid Simulation of Space Plasmas: Models with Massless Fluid Representation of Electrons. V. Reconnection of Magnetic Field Lines

This is a survey of literature on hybrid simulation of collisionless reconnection of interplanetary magnetic field lines. The article briefly reviews the simple theoretical models of magnetic reconnection (Petschek, Sweet–Parker, and Syrovatskii models). The traditional electromagnetic hybrid model (ions as particles, electrons as a massless fluid) is described and the main numerical schemes are examined. The survey part considers hybrid simulations of the structure of the reconnection sheet, the structure of the diffusion region, tearing instability, and acceleration of ions in the reconnection sheet. The review of simulation work on dissipative processes in the diffusion region examines the development of the modified hybrid simulation model, which allows for the evolution in time of the total electron pressure tensor and electron inertia.     

Perron-frobenius theory for Banach spaces with a hyperbolic cone

If X is a real Banach space, then the inequality x defines so-called hyperbolic cone in E=X. We develop a relevant version of Perron-Frobenius-Krein-Rutman theory.     

Sur l'homotopie rationnelle des espaces fonctionnels

Let X be a nilpotent space such that it exists k1 with H^p (X,) = 0 p > k and H^k (X,) 0, let Y be a (m–1)-connected space with mk+2, then the rational homotopy Lie algebra of Y^X (resp. is isomorphic as Lie algebra, to H^* (X,) (_* (Y) ) (resp.⁺ (X,) (_* (Y) )). If X is formal and Y -formal, then the spaces Y^X and are -formal. Furthermore, if dim _* (Y) is infinite and dim H^* (Y,Q) is finite, then the sequence of Betti numbers of grows exponentially.     

On the Mechanism for Nonlinear Representations of the Lorentz Group Arising in Quantum Field Theory

A mechanism is identified that leads to the correct law for the relativistic Wigner function transformation with respect to the Lorentz group as long as the corresponding relativistic wave functions have special transformation properties.     

Distributional control and generalized analyticity

Let S be a strongly continuous, separation-preserving representation of a locally compact abelian group G in L^p(), where 1p<, and is an arbitrary measure. We show that S is uniformly bounded with respect to the L^p-and L-norms if and only if it satisfies a certain boundedness condition for distribution functions. These equivalent conditions facilitate the transference from L^p(G) to L^p() of the a.e. convergence for a wide class of sequences of convolution operators. The result unifies and generalizes various aspects of ergodic theory--in particular, the ergodic singular integral operators and ergodic Hardy spaces.     

Kato's equality and spectral decomposition for positive C0-groups

Let A be the generator of a C₀-semigroup {T(t); t0} defined on a Banach lattice E. It is shown that T(t) is a lattice homomorphism for all t>0 if and only if A satisfies <¦x¦, Ax>= (xD(A), x D(A)) (where q: EE is the evaluation mapping). This equality is used to obtain a spectral decomposition for generators of positive groups.     

Large transversals to small families of unit disks

Summary It is proved that if the nonempty intersection of bounded closed convex sets AnB is contained in (A + F)U(B+F) and one of the following holds true: (i) the space X is less-than-three dimensional, (ii) AUB is convex, (iii) F is a one-point set, then AnBCA+F or AnBCB+F (Theorems 2 and 3). Moreover, under some hypotheses the characterization of A and B such that AnB is a summand of AUB is given (Theorem 3).     

Radiation Recoil Problem for Classical Charged Dust Grains

We consider several classical problems (Coulomb scattering, motion in a constant external electromagnetic field, Brownian motion) for the Sommerfeld model of an extended charged particle (dust grain). We find essential differences from the classical result in both quantitative aspects (a change of the angle in Coulomb scattering, decrease of the diffusion coefficient for a Brownian particle, deceleration of outspiraling of the dust grain in a cyclotron) and in qualitative aspects (occurrence of the tunneling effect through a potential barrier). These differences do not disappear as the size of the particle tends to zero. The equation of motion of an extended object therefore does not have a smooth limit transition to the Newton equation for a point.     

Über die Riemannsche Einbettungsgeometrie der Veronesemannigfaltigkeiten

Let E be a n-dimensional euclidean vector space. The subset V _k ⁿ ={x ... x | x E} of ^kE is called a Veronesemanifold. The scalar product of E induces a euclidean structure on ^kE. Passing to the corresponding projective space , one may consider as a riemannian submanifold of the space form . In this paper we study properties of the pair of riemannian manifolds.

Some functional inequalities and their Baire category properties

Summary In the paper we consider, from a topological point of view, the set of all continuous functionsf:I I for which the unique continuous solution:I – [0, ) of(f(x)) (x, (x)) and(x, (x)) (f(x)) (x, (x)), respectively, is the zero function. We obtain also some corollaries on the qualitative theory of the functional equation(f(x)) = g(x, (x)). No assumption on the iterative behaviour off is imposed.

Mittelwert der Eulerschen φ-Funktion und des Quadrates der Dirichletschen Teilerfunktion in algebraischen Zahlkörpern

LetK be an algebraic number field, and for every integer K let () andd(), respectively, denote the number of relatively prime residue classes and the number of divisors of the principal ideal (). Asymptotic equalities are proved for the sums () and d ²(), where runs through certain finite sets of integers ofK.     

Tritronquée Solutions of Perturbed First Painlevé Equations

We consider solutions of the class of ODEs y=6y ²–x , which contains the first Painlevé equation (PI) for =1. It is well known that PI has a unique real solution (called a tritronquée solution) asymptotic to and decaying monotonically on the positive real line. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a corresponding solution for each real nonnegative 1.

Decktransformationen transnormaler Mannigfaltigkeiten

For every transnormal m-manifold V (see [3] or [7]) in ⁿ :VW, mapping pV into its normal plane (p) is a covering map onto a submanifold W of the open Grassmannian H_n,n–m of all (n–m)-dimensional planes in ⁿ. The transnormal frame T:=^–1((p)) admits a transitive operation by a group J of isometries. The group action of the covering transformations of (V,,W) on T commutes with the action of J. The elements of J, which are restrictions of covering transformations to T, are exactly the elements of the centre of J. This property is applied to show the existence of nontrivial covering transformations of (V,,W) for n–m3.

Nonnegative Hall Polynomials

The number of subgroups of type and cotype in a finite abelian p-group of type is a polynomialg with integral coefficients. We prove g has nonnegative coefficients for all partitions and if and only if no two parts of differ by more than one. Necessity follows from a few simple facts about Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions; sufficiency relies on properties of certain order-preserving surjections that associate to each subgroup a vector dominated componentwise by . The nonzero components of (H) are the parts of , the type of H; if no two parts of differ by more than one, the nonzero components of – (H) are the parts of , the cotype of H. In fact, we provide an order-theoretic characterization of those isomorphism types of finite abelian p-groups all of whose Hall polynomials have nonnegative coefficients.     

On a nonlinear eigenvalue problem

In the present paper we consider a selfadjoint and nonsmooth operator-valued function on (c, d)R ¹. We suppose that the equation (L()x, x)=0,x0, has exactly one rootp(x) (c, d) and the functionf()=(L()x, x) is increasing at the pointp(x). We discuss questions of the variational theory of the spectrum. Some theorems on the variational properties of the spectrum are proved.
