Estimates for the Rapid Decay of Concentration Functions of n-Fold Convolutions

We estimate the concentration functions of n-fold convolutions of one-dimensional probability measures. The Kolmogorov–Rogozin inequality implies that for nondegenerate distributions these functions decrease at least as O(n ^–1/2). On the other hand, Esseen⁽³⁾ has shown that this rate is o(n ^–1/2) iff the distribution has an infinite second moment. This statement was sharpened by Morozova.⁽⁹⁾ Theorem 1 of this paper provides an improvement of Morozova's result. Moreover, we present more general estimates which imply the rates o(n ^–1/2).     

Magnetic and structural transitions in La1−x Sr x MnO3: T-x phase diagram

The electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and submillimeter (v=5∓20 cm⁻¹) permittivity and dynamic conductivity of La_1−x Sr _x MnO₃ (0≤x≤ 0.45) single crystals are investigated. The anomalies in the temperature dependences of these quantities are identified with diverse magnetic and structural phase transformations, including antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic ordering, structural transitions between strongly distorted (Jahn-Teller) and weakly distorted (pseudocubic) orthorhombic phases, structural transitions to a rhombohedral phase and unusual transitions to a polaron-ordering state. As a result, the complete T-x phase diagram of the system La_1−2x Sr _x MnO₃ is constructed in a wide interval of temperatures T=4.2∓1050 K and concentrations x=0−0.45. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

An algorithm for the single-input partial pole assignment problem

An algorithm for translating unstable eigenvalues of single-input partial pole assignment problems based on rank-one transformations is suggested. Special attention is paid to the practical case where translations are constructed using inexact spectral information provided by the Arnoldi procedure. Estimates of the resulting perturbations of stable and translated poles are derived. These estimates depend on the accuracy of spectral information about the unstable poles. The algorithm proposed is illustrated with numerical examples. Bibliography: 11 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 229, 1995, pp. 5–28. Translated by A. Yu. Yeremin.

Inversion of the density gradient and the diffusion “gate” in isothermal mixing of gases

The stable quasistationary mixing of ternary gas mixtures in a system of two chambers connected by a capillary is described by a theoretical model which predicts the density distribution of the mixture along the length of the diffusion channel. It is demonstrated that inversion of the density gradient can occur due to a nonlinear concentration distribution of the heavy component in a diffusion “gate” effect. The results obtained using this model are compared with the experimental data. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 68, 14–17 (May 1998)     

Distribution of silicon over sublattices in semiconducting A3B5 compounds

The stable site of Si substitutional impurities in GaAs and AlAs at T=0 K is determined on the basis of an analysis of the energy of solution of silicon, and of the energies of formation of intrinsic defects and the reaction energies of their interaction obtained by calculating the total energy of the disordered compounds. These calculations indicate that amphotericity and vacancies have an effect on the distribution of Si. At low Si concentrations, Si in GaAs is located on the sublattice of the group III element, and in AlAs, on the sublattice of the group V element. Fiz. Tverd.

Existence and stability of periodic solutions for chains of connected oscillators

We consider a nonlinear system of difference equations. This system corresponds to chains of N symmetrically connected oscillators with sufficiently general type of connection, which includes, among others, local and global connection. We prove a theorem on the existence and stability of space-time periodic solutions of such systems for sufficiently small values of the parameter of connection ?.
