Transient binary nucleation from ethanol-hexanol vapour

We study condensation of ethanol-hexanol vapour by numerical solution of kinetic equations. The number of droplets formed in unit volume is computed within self-consistent classical model. It is shown that formation of ethanol-rich droplets prevails at the initial stage of nucleation process, but in the stationary state formation of droplets near the saddle point (on cluster formation energy surface) plays the dominant role.

Vacations in GI X/M Y/1 systems and Riemann boundary value problems

We consider systems of GI/M/1 type with bulk arrivals, bulk service and exponential server vacations. The generating functions of the steady-state probabilities of the embedded Markov chain are found in terms of Riemann boundary value problems, a necessary and sufficient condition of ergodicity is proved. Explicit formulas are obtained for the case where the generating function of the arrival group size is rational. Resonance between the vacation rate and the system is studied. Complete formulas are given for the cases of single and geometric arrivals. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Quadratic Functionals with General Boundary Conditions

The purpose of this paper is to give the Reid ``Roundabout Theorem' for quadratic functionals with general boundary conditions. In particular, we describe the so-called coupled point and regularity condition introduced in [16] in terms of Riccati equation solutions. Accepted 27 February 1996     

Geometry and Classificatin of Solutions of the Classical Dynamical Yang–Baxter Equation

The classical Yang–Baxter equation(CYBE) is an algebraic equation central in the theory of integrable systems. Its nondegenerate solutions were classified by Belavin and Drinfeld. Quantization of CYBE led to the theory of quantum groups. A geometric interpretation of CYBE was given by Drinfeld and gave rise to the theory of Poisson–Lie groups. The classical dynamical Yang–Baxter equation (CDYBE) is an important differential equation analogous to CYBE and introduced by Felder as the consistency condition for the differential Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov–Bernard equations for correlation functions in conformal field theory on tori. Quantization of CDYBE allowed Felder to introduce an interesting elliptic analog of quantum groups. It becomes clear that numerous important notions and results connected with CYBE have dynamical analogs. In this paper we classify solutions to CDYBE and give geometric interpretation to CDYBE. The classification and interpretation are remarkably analogous to the Belavin–Drinfeld picture. Received: 24 March 1997 / Accepted: 20 June 1997     

Sets of sampling and interpolation in Bergman spaces

Properties of the unions of sampling and interpolation sets for Bergman spaces are discussed in conjunction with the examples given by Seip (1993). Their relationship to the classical interpolation sequences is explored. In addition, the role played by canonical divisors in the study of these sets is examined and an example of a sampling set is constructed in the disk.
