Crossing of the πd<Subscript>5/2</Subscript> and πg<Subscript>7/2</Subscript> orbitals in the <Subscript>51</Subscript>Sb isotopes

Self-consistent calculations using the D1S Gogny force have been performed in order to study the mechanism involved in the crossing of the πd _5/2 and πg _7/2 orbitals in the Sb isotopes. This inversion is well predicted by the HFB + blocking calculations with spherical symmetry performed for the odd-A Sb isotopes. In addition, several HFB and HF calculations have been performed for even-even nuclei of the five neighbouring isotopic chains (Z = 46 to 54, from the proton dripline to N = 82). The results obtained for the binding energies of the two proton orbitals indicate that the radii of the systems play an important role in the crossing, even though some particular πν interactions also give a contribution. The spin-orbit interaction, which is known to be concentrated mainly at the nuclear surface, is proposed to be the main responsible of the crossing.     

Effects of phonon-phonon coupling on low-lying states in neutron-rich Sn isotopes

Starting from an effective Skyrme interaction we present a method to take into account the coupling between one- and two-phonon terms in the wave functions of excited states. The approach is a development of a finite rank separable approximation for the quasiparticle RPA calculations proposed in our previous work. The influence of the phonon-phonon coupling on energies and transition probabilities for the low-lying quadrupole and octupole states in the neutron-rich Sn isotopes is studied.     

On the error estimates for the rotational pressure-correction projection methods

In this paper we study the rotational form of the pressure-correction method that was proposed by Timmermans, Minev, and Van De Vosse. We show that the rotational form of the algorithm provides better accuracy in terms of the -norm of the velocity and of the -norm of the pressure than the standard form.

     

Optimal Error Estimates in Operator-Norm Approximations of Semigroups

We demonstrate that an idea related to the Central Limit Theorem and approximations by accompanying laws in probability theory is useful to get optimal convergence rates in some approximation formulas for operators. As examples we provide a bound for Euler approximations of bounded holomorphic semigroups; a bound for error in approximation of a power of operators by accompanying exponents, which is a useful tool in analysis of the Trotter–Kato formula, and can be considered as an extended version of Chernoff's lemma.     

On the Problem of Describing Sequences of Best Trigonometric Rational Approximations

For a strictly decreasing sequence a_{n n=0} of nonnegative real numbers converging to zero, we construct a continuous 2-periodic function f such that R^T _n(f) = a_n, n=0,1,2,..., where R^T _n(f) are best approximations of the function f in uniform norm by trigonometric rational functions of degree at most n.     

On the Geometry of Inner Approximations to the Set of Null Controllability for Constrained Linear Systems

The problem of obtaining inner approximations to the set of null controllability for linear systems is considered, and the geometry of certain sets arising in the approximation of using linear feedback is explored. A two-dimensional example is worked in detail in order to delineate the limitations to the use of linear feedback.     

了解积分——求和

求一个函数的黎曼积分,实际上就是一个分割、近似代替、求和、取极限的过程.求和运算是整个积分计算的轴心.就积分四部曲中的求和问题,做一个一般性的讨论.文中使用的是分析和讨论的语言,不去追求数学语言本身的严格性.目的不仅是探讨求和这个步骤,在黎曼积分意义下具体实现的过程和隐含的内容,而且对一般的积分中的求和实现的可能性、应该满足的条件、实现的过程,以及应该注意那些基本问题,也做一点儿逻辑上的探讨.已达到以知识为媒介,提高认知能力的目的.     

The Markov modulated regulated Brownian motion: A second-order fluid flow model of a finite buffer

A second-order fluid flow model of a queue with finite capacity buffer and variable net input process is presented, based on the previous work of Karandikar and Kulkarni (1995). Queue length is modelled as a Brownian motion whose parameters are controlled by a finite state Markov chain. The process, termed a Markov modulated regulated Brownian motion (MMRBM), provides analytical solutions for steady state queue length distributions, overflow losses and idleness probabilities using boundary regulators. Applications of the model include queues with failure-prone servers and ATM statistical multiplexers with variable traffic loads. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
