The number of bound states of a one-particle Hamiltonian on a three-dimensional lattice

We consider the Hamiltonian , describing the motion of one quantum particle on a three-dimensional lattice in an external field. We investigate the number of eigenvalues and their arrangement depending on the value of the interaction energy for μ ≥ 0 and λ ≥ 0. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 158, No. 3, pp. 425–443, March, 2009.     

Hamiltonian model for coupled surface and internal waves in the presence of currents

We examine a two dimensional fluid system consisting of a lower medium bounded underneath by a flatbed and an upper medium with a free surface. The two media are separated by a free common interface. The gravity driven surface and internal water waves (at the common interface between the media) in the presence of a depth-dependent current are studied under certain physical assumptions. Both media are considered incompressible and with prescribed vorticities. Using the Hamiltonian approach the Hamiltonian of the system is constructed in terms of ‘wave’ variables and the equations of motion are calculated. The resultant equations of motion are then analysed to show that wave–current interaction is influenced only by the current profile in the ‘strips’ adjacent to the surface and the interface. Small amplitude and long-wave approximations are also presented.     

The second Hamiltonian structure for a special case of the Lotka-Volterra equations

A special case of the Lotka-Volterra equations is considered for which it is possible to find the second Hamiltonian structure that is complementary to the known one. The form of the new Hamiltonian makes it possible to solve the equations by quadratures, which is the main feature of the case under examination. As a consequence, the period can also be represented by quadratures. In terms of the new variables, the equations of motion admit a mechanical analogy with the oscillations of a mass on a nonlinear spring.

Relative equilibria of Hamiltonian systems with symmetry: Linearization,smoothness, and drift

Summary A relative equilibrium of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry is a point of phase space giving an evolution which is a one-parameter orbit of the action of the symmetry group of the system. The evolutions of sufficiently small perturbations of a formally stable relative equilibrium are arbitrarily confined to that relative equilibrium's orbit under the isotropy subgroup of its momentum. However, interesting evolution along that orbit, here called drift, does occur. In this article, linearizations of relative equilibria are used to construct a first order perturbation theory explaining drift, and also to determine when the set of relative equilibria near a given relative equilibrium is a smooth symplectic submanifold of phase space.     

Eigenvalue problem of a class of fourth-order Hamiltonian operators

The eigenvalue problem of a class of fourth-order Hamiltonian operators is studied. We first obtain the geometric multiplicity, the algebraic index and the algebraic multiplicity of each eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian operators. Then, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the completeness of the eigen or root vector system of the Hamiltonian operators are given, which is characterized by that of the vector system consisting of the first components of all eigenvectors. Moreover, the results are applied to the plate bending problem.     

A convergent boundary integral method for three-dimensional water waves

We design a boundary integral method for time-dependent, three-dimensional, doubly periodic water waves and prove that it converges with accuracy, without restriction on amplitude. The moving surface is represented by grid points which are transported according to a computed velocity. An integral equation arising from potential theory is solved for the normal velocity. A new method is developed for the integration of singular integrals, in which the Green's function is regularized and an efficient local correction to the trapezoidal rule is computed. The sums replacing the singular integrals are treated as discrete versions of pseudodifferential operators and are shown to have mapping properties like the exact operators. The scheme is designed so that the error is governed by evolution equations which mimic the structure of the original problem, and in this way stability can be assured. The wavelike character of the exact equations of motion depends on the positivity of the operator which assigns to a function on the surface the normal derivative of its harmonic extension; similarly, the stability of the scheme depends on maintaining this property for the discrete operator. With grid points, the scheme can be implemented with essentially operations per time step.

     

Numerical solution of eigenvalue problems for Hamiltonian systems

This paper discusses the numerical solution of eigenvalue problems for Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations. Two new codes are presented which incorporate the algorithms described here; to the best of the author’s knowledge, these are the first codes capable of solving numerically such general eigenvalue problems. One of these implements a new new method of solving a differential equation whose solution is a unitary matrix. Both codes are fully documented and are written inPfort-verifiedFortran 77, and will be available in netlib/aicm/sl11f and netlib/aicm/sl12f.

Integrable coupling hierarchy and Hamiltonian structure for a matrix spectral problem with arbitrary-order

We presented an integrable coupling hierarchy of a matrix spectral problem with arbitrary order zero matrix r by using semi-direct sums of matrix Lie algebra. The Hamiltonian structure of the resulting integrable couplings hierarchy is established by means of the component trace identities. As an example, when r is 2 × 2 zero matrix specially, the integrable coupling hierarchy and its Hamiltonian structure of the matrix spectral problem are computed.

Solitary wave solutions to the Isobe-Kakinuma model for water waves

We consider the Isobe-Kakinuma model for two-dimensional water waves in the case of a flat bottom. The Isobe-Kakinuma model is a system of Euler-Lagrange equations for a Lagrangian approximating Luke's Lagrangian for water waves. We show theoretically the existence of a family of small amplitude solitary wave solutions to the Isobe-Kakinuma model in the long wave regime. Numerical analysis for large amplitude solitary wave solutions is also provided and suggests the existence of a solitary wave of extreme form with a sharp crest.     

Regular reduction of controlled Hamiltonian system with symplectic structure and symmetry

In this paper, our goal is to study the regular reduction theory of regular controlled Hamiltonian (RCH) systems with symplectic structure and symmetry, and this reduction is an extension of regular symplectic reduction theory of Hamiltonian systems under regular controlled Hamiltonian equivalence conditions. Thus, in order to describe uniformly RCH systems defined on a cotangent bundle and on the regular reduced spaces, we first define a kind of RCH systems on a symplectic fiber bundle. Then we introduce regular point and regular orbit reducible RCH systems with symmetry by using momentum map and the associated reduced symplectic forms. Moreover, we give regular point and regular orbit reduction theorems for RCH systems to explain the relationships between RpCH-equivalence, RoCH-equivalence for reducible RCH systems with symmetry and RCH-equivalence for associated reduced RCH systems. Finally, as an application we regard rigid body and heavy top as well as them with internal rotors as the regular point reducible RCH systems on the rotation group SO(3) and on the Euclidean group SE(3), as well as on their generalizations, respectively, and discuss their RCH-equivalence. We also describe the RCH system and RCH-equivalence from the viewpoint of port Hamiltonian system with a symplectic structure.     

On the index of the boundary value problem for a homogeneous Hamiltonian system of differential equations

The index of the homogeneous self-adjoint boundary value problem for the Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations is introduced. It is assumed that the system has a nontrivial solution. The relationship between the index of an eigenvalue of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and the index of the corresponding homogeneous problem is established. Properties of the index of the problem and those of the eigenvalue are examined.     

Capillary waves past a flat plate in water of finite depth

Free-surface flow past a semi-infinite flat plate in a channelof finite depth is considered. The fluid is assumed to be inviscidand incompressible, and the flow to be two-dimensional and irrotational.Surface tension is included in the dynamic boundary conditionbut the effects of gravity are neglected. It is shown that thereis a three-parameter family of solutions with waves in the farfield and a discontinuity in slope at the separation point.This family includes as particular cases the solutions previouslycomputed by Osborn & Stump (2001, Phys. Fluids, 13, 616–623)and by Andersson & Vanden-Broeck (1996, Proc. R. Soc., 452,1985–1997).     

A new stabilizing technique for boundary integral methods for water waves

Boundary integral methods to compute interfacial flows are very sensitive to numerical instabilities. A previous stability analysis by Beale, Hou and Lowengrub reveals that a very delicate balance among terms with singular integrals and derivatives must be preserved at the discrete level in order to maintain numerical stability. Such balance can be preserved by applying suitable numerical filtering at certain places of the discretization. While this filtering technique is effective for two-dimensional (2-D) periodic fluid interfaces, it does not apply to nonperiodic fluid interfaces. Moreover, using the filtering technique alone does not seem to be sufficient to stabilize 3-D fluid interfaces.

Here we introduce a new stabilizing technique for boundary integral methods for water waves which applies to nonperiodic and 3-D interfaces. A stabilizing term is added to the boundary integral method which exactly cancels the destabilizing term produced by the point vortex method approximation to the leading order. This modified boundary integral method still has the same order of accuracy as the point vortex method. A detailed stability analysis is presented for the point vortex method for 2-D water waves. The effect of various stabilizing terms is illustrated through careful numerical experiments.
