Estimates for the fractal dimension and the number of determining modes for invariant sets of dynamical systems

Majorants of the fractal dimension and of the number of determining modes for unbounded sets, invariant with respect to operators of semigroups of classes 1 and 2, are obtained. They are computed for the Navier-Stokes equations (two- and three-dimensional) under the first boundary condition and under periodicity conditions in the spaces and .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On immersions ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space in 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields

In this article we prove that the principal direction fields are holonomic and use them to introduce curvilinear coordinates on an immersed region in terms of which the linear element of Lobachevskií space is written in the form where The fundamental system of equations is established for an immersion ofn-dimensional Lobachevskií space into 2n-dimensional Euclidean space withn principal direction fields for the functions _i and, and a way of constructing an arbitrary local analytic immersion is shown.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, No. 28, pp. 3–8, 1985.     

Meta-Hamiltonian groups with elementary commutant of rank 2

This paper is concerned with the structure of periodic meta-Hamiltonian groups with elementary commutant of rank 2 that have complemented Miller Moreno subgroups. It is proved that there exist four types of such groups.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 168–175, February, 1990.The proof of this assertion will be given in another paper of the authors.     

Cubic surfaces in AG(3, q) and projective planes of order q 3

Spread sets of projective planes of order q ³ are represented as sets of q ³ points in A AG(3, q ³). A line through the origin in A can be interpreted as a space A ₀ AG(3, q), and the spread set induces a cubic surface L in A ₀. If the projective plane is a semifield plane of dimension 3 over its kernel, then L has the property that it misses a plane of A ₀. Determining all such surfaces L leads to a complete classification of the semifield planes of order q ³, whose spread sets are division algebras of dimension 3.An alternative proof of a result due to Menichetti, that finite division algebras of dimension 3 are associative or are twisted fields, follows with the classification.     

Properties of nonlinear waves in dissipative-dispersive media with instability

Wave processes in dissipative-dispersive media with instability described by a fourth-order nonlinear evolution equation are considered. Analytic solutions in the form of solitary and cnoidal waves are obtained. The existence of a critical value of the dispersion coefficient beyond which an initial disturbance (in particular, white noise) is transformed into a structure is demonstrated by numerical modeling.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 130–136, July–August, 1990.     

Crystal structure and vibrational spectra of hydrazinium (2+) tri-μ-fluoro bis[pentafluorozirconate (IV)] fluoride and vibrational spectra of its hafnium analogue

Monoclinic (N₂H₆)₃Zr₂F₁₃·F crystallizes in space group P2₁-C ₂ ² (No. 4) with unit cell dimensionsa=5.670(1),b=10.984(2),c=10.601(2) Å,=93.88(1)°,V=658.7(4) ų andZ=2. Two different types of N₂H₆ ²⁺ ions are present. One is involved in strong H-bonds to F^– ions in infinite chains running along the a axis (the shortest N-F distance is 2.437(5) Å), and the other links the structure through weaker bi- and trifurcated H-bonds to fluorine ligands of the Zr₂F₁₃ ^5– ions. The N-N bond lengths range from 1.430(5) to 1.446(5) Å with apparently no meaningful correlation to the type of N₂H₂ ²⁺ ions. The Zr₂F₁₃ ^5– ions have very nearly C₂ point symmetry and are formed by joining two distorted bicapped trigonal prisms of ZrF₈-units through a common face. Distances of Zr-F terminal bonds range from 2.015(2) to 2.112(2) Å and of bridging bonds from 2.133(2) to 2.212(2) Å. (N₂H₆)₃Hf₂F₁₃·F is isomorphous. The vibrational spectra of the two compounds are nearly identical, with the exception of a strong infrared band, which is assigned to a stretching mode with the moving central atom within the anion. The anion part of the spectrum is simple, showing broad unresolved bands. The cation part shows two types of N₂H₆ ^– ions. H-Bonding is strongly present in the spectra, but no simple correlations with the H-bond strength is evident.     

Behavior on the real line of entire functions represented by Dirichlet series with complex exponents

It is shown, in particular, that if _{n k} when n k, Re _n > 0, and , then an entire function F that is bounded on the real line and represented by a Dirichlet series d_n exp (_nz) that is uniformly and absolutely convergent on each compactum in is identically zero.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 882–888, July, 1990.     

Electron Emission from Clean Solid Surfaces by Fast Ions

Total backward electron yields from 27 elemental, non-crystalline, clean solids were measured during bombardment by H⁺-, H-, H-, He⁺- and Ar⁺-ions in the energy range from 100 keV to 800 keV. The yields were found to exhibit an oscillatory dependence on the atomic number of the target material correlated with the periods of the periodic system. These Z₂-oscillations are relatively insensitive to the type of projectile and the impact energy at the high projectile energies of this experiment. Present theories of electron emission cannot explain the main experimental results. The reasons for this failure are discussed.     

A numerical analysis of chaotic behaviour in Bianchi IX models

In this paper we investigate the chaotic behaviour of the Bianchi IX cosmological models using techniques developed in the study of dynamical systems and chaotic behaviour. We numerically calculate the Lyapunov exponent, , and show that instead of converging to a constant value, it decreases steadily. We study this effect further by studying the Lyapunov exponent using short-time averages. We show that the usual method of calculating is invalid in the case of a cosmological model.
