Multi-mode coupling analysis of a sub-terahertz band planar corrugated Bragg reflector

Planar Bragg reflector operating in the sub-terahertz wavelength installed at the upstream end of a sheet beam backward wave oscillator(BWO) is very promising to minimize the whole circuit structure and make it more compact. In this paper, a sub-terahertz wavelength(0.18–0.22 THz) tunable planar Bragg reflector is numerically analyzed by using multi-mode coupling theory(MCT). The operating mode TE10 and dominant coupling mode TE01 are mainly considered in this theory. Reflection and transmission performance of the reflector are demonstrated in detail and the results, in excellent agreement with the theoretical analysis and simulation, are also presented in this paper. Self- and cross-coupling coefficients between these two modes are presented as well. The reflector behaviors with different Bragg dimensions are discussed and analyzed in the 0.16–0.22 THz range. The analysis in this paper can be of benefit to the design and fabrication of the whole BWO circuit.

Gravitational wave astronomy

We are entering a new era of gravitational-wave astronomy. The ground-based interferometers have reached their initial design sensitivity in the audio band. Several upper limits have been set for anticipated astrophysical sources from the science data. The advanced detectors in the US and in Europe are expected to be operational around 2015. New advanced detectors are also planned in Japan and in India. The first direct detections of gravitational waves are expected within this decade. In the meanwhile, three pulsar timing array projects are forming an international collaboration to detect gravitational waves directly in the nanoHertz range using timing data from millisecond pulsars. The first direct detection of nanoHertz gravitational waves are also expected within this decade. In this paper, we review the status of current gravitational-wave detectors, possible types of sources, observational upper limits achieved, and future prospects for direct detection of gravitational waves     

Similarity Solutions for Generalized Variable Coefficients Zakharov-Kuznetsov Equation under Some Integrability Conditions

In this paper, the symmetry method has been carried over to the generalized variable coefficients Zakharov- Kuznetsov equation. The infinitesimal symmetries and the optimal system are deduced and from this optimal system seven basic fields are determined, and for every vector field in the optimal system the admissible forms of the coefficients are found and this also leads us to transform the given equation into partial differential equations in two variables. After using some referenced transformations the mentioned partial differential equations eventually reduce to ordinary differential equations. The search for solutions to those equations has yielded many exact solutions in most cases.     

Consensus problems in multi-agent systems with double integrator model

In this paper, we consider multi-agent consensus problems in a decentralised fashion. The interconnection topology graph among the agents is switching and undirected. The agent dynamics is expressed in the form of a double integrator model. Two different cases are considered in this study. One is the leader-following case and the other is leaderless case. Based on graph theory and common Lyapunov function method, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the consensus stability of the considered systems with the neighbour-based feedback laws in both leader-following case and leaderless case respectively. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the obtained results.

An exactly soluble case of the triangular ising model in a magnetic field

An anisotropic triangular Ising model in which the first- and second-order parameters and the field parameters are functionally related is solved exactly by representing the distribution of the atom patterns in terms of a suitably constructed Markov process. The probabilities of patterns, defined as the probabilities generated by this process, are a mathematically tractable alternative to the classical representation of these probabilities in terms of the partition function. The interaction and field parameters of this Ising model, its magnetization, free energy, and its nearest neighbor correlation functions, are expressed in terms of the parameters of this Markov process. Special cases are worked out in detail and numerical examples are given.
