On the Decay of Solutions for Some Nonlinear Dissipative Hyperbolic Equations

In this paper we show the decay of solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for somenonlinear hyperbolic equation with a nonlinear dissipative term,by using a difference inequality.     

Comment on the analysis of angle-dependent X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in systems with reduced dimensionality

The magnetic dipole term T appearing in the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spin sum rule can be eliminated from the analysis within the spin sum rule by angle-dependent XMCD spectroscopy if the effects of spin–orbit coupling are small so that T_x+T_y+T_z≈0. It is shown by the ab initio electron theory for the extreme case of a low-dimensional system, i.e., for a free-standing monatomic Co wire that this relation is strongly violated, indicating that the determination of T by the angle-dependent XMCD is possibly not very reliable for low-dimensional magnetic systems.     

Detecting Mass Points of Representing Measures

We discuss a possibility of deciding whether measures representing a moment sequence or realizing orthogonality of polynomials have atoms. This is done on the real line and in several variables.     

Study of the Magnitude-Redshift Relation for Type Ia Supernovae in a Model Resulting from a Ricci-Symmetry

Models with a dynamic cosmological term (t) are becoming popular as they solve the cosmological constant problem in a natural way. Instead of considering any ad-hoc assumption for the variation of , we consider a particular symmetry, the contracted Ricci-collineation along the fluid flow, in Einstein's theory. We show that apart from having interesting properties, this symmetry does demand to be a function of the scale factor of the Robertson-Walker metric. In order to test the consistency of the resulting model with observations, we study the magnitude-redshift relation for the type Ia supernovae data from Perlmutter et al. The data fit the model very well and require a positive non-zero and a negative deceleration parameter. The best-fitting flat model is obtained as ₀ 0.5 with q ₀ –0.2.     

Mechanism Study for Thermal/Electric Field Poling of Fused Silica

On the basis of the experimental reports, the mechanism of the second-order susceptibility ⁽²⁾ for the thermal/electric field poling of fused silica is analyzed, and expressions for ⁽²⁾ are detailedly derived and numerically calculated for the first time. By comparison the theoretical value of ⁽²⁾ with the experiment results, we propose that the effective ⁽²⁾ is created via both the interaction of the intense electric field with the third-order susceptibility ⁽³⁾ and the dipole orientation. The theoretical results show that, in the differently applied voltage, the dipole orientation and ⁽³⁾ play different role in the formation of ⁽²⁾. This theory successfully explains some experiment results.

Plane Symmetric Viscous Fluid Cosmological Models with Varying <Emphasis Type="Italic">Λ</Emphasis>-Term

Plane symmetric viscous fluid cosmological models of the universe with a variable cosmological term are investigated. The viscosity coefficient of bulk viscous fluid is assumed to be a power function of mass density whereas the coefficient of shear viscosity is to be proportional to rate of expansion in the model. We have also obtained a special model in which the shear viscosity is assumed to be zero. The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a decreasing function of time and a positive which is supported by results from recent supernovae Ia observations. Some physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.     

Semi-infinite programming,duality, discretization and optimality conditions†

The aim of this article is to give a survey of some basic theory of semi-infinite programming. In particular, we discuss various approaches to derivations of duality, discretization, and first- and second-order optimality conditions. Some of the surveyed results are well known while others seem to be less noticed in that area of research.
