Non-isothermal thermokinetic of cement hardening

Thermokinetic analysis of cements hydration under nonisothermal conditions was performed. The influence of the application moment, intensity and duration of heat effect on the velocity and completeness of the character of hydration was estimated.     

Laguerre Polynomials, Restriction Principle, and Holomorphic Representations of SL(2,R)

The restriction principle is used to implement a realization of the holomorphic representations of SL(2,R) on L ² (R ⁺,t dt) by way of the standard upper half plane realization. The resulting unitary equivalence establishes a correspondence between functions that transform according to the character e^–i(2n++1); under rotations and the Laguerre polynomials. The standard recursion relations amongst Laguerre polynomials are derived from the action of the Lie algebra.     

Neutrino Oscillations in Exotic Geometries and the Equivalence Principle Violation

Taking into account the violation of the equivalence principle, we analyze the propagation of neutrinos in the gravitational field generated by wormholes. The analysis is performed for massive and massless neutrinos. By using the constraints on the (negative) mass of wormholes, which is of the order of stellar-substellar masses, we determine constraints on f which characterizes the degree of violation of the equivalence principle.     

Random perturbations of dynamical systems and diffusion processes with conservation laws

In this paper we consider random perturbations of dynamical systems and diffusion processes with a first integral. We calculate, under some assumptions, the limiting behavior of the slow component of the perturbed system in an appropriate time scale for a general class of perturbations. The phase space of the slow motion is a graph defined by the first integral. This is a natural generalization of the results concerning random perturbations of Hamiltonian systems. Considering diffusion processes as the unperturbed system allows to study the multidimensional case and leads to a new effect: the limiting slow motion can spend non-zero time at some points of the graph. In particular, such delay at the vertices leads to more general gluing conditions. Our approach allows one to obtain new results on singular perturbations of PDEs.

Local-global problem for Drinfeld modules

Let K be a function field with an A-algebra structure. The ring A arises in the definition of the Drinfeld module φ over K. By E(K) we denote K together with the A-module structure induced on it by φ. For any principal prime ideal (a)⊂A, we study the question whether an element x∈E(K) which is an a-fold in E(K_ν) for every place ν of K, is an a-fold in E(K). In particular, we study the group

     

Asymptotic Stability of Transiently Chaotic Neural Networks

The asymptotic stability of transiently chaotic neural networks is considered in this paper. By utilizing a Lyapunov function and then applying LaSalle's invariance principle, we present several sufficient conditions that guarantee the stability. These results are less conservative than those established in the earlier references. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of these conditions.     

Propagation properties of partially coherent Laguerre-Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere

To study the propagation properties of partially coherent Laguerre-Gaussian (PLG) beams through turbulent atmosphere, the analytical formulas are derived for the angular width and the beam-propagation factor (M²-factor) of PLG beams by using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function (WDF). The corresponding numerical results are also calculated. When propagation distance increases, the angular width is found to spread faster for PLG beams with higher beam order, smaller correlation length and bigger structure constant The angular width of PLG beams decreases with increase in waist width (w₀).The M²-factor of PLG beams with higher beam order and smaller correlation length is less affected by turbulence with increase in propagation distance. The propagation properties of the M²-factor for PLG beams with the smaller structure constant are better than that with bigger structure constant . The M²-factor of PLG beams decreases with increase in the wavelength λ, and it is also less affected by turbulence for beams with higher order and smaller correlation length. Furthermore, for the PLG beams with the same beam order, the angular width and the M²-factor keep invariable in free space.     

Optimal Hardy-Rellich inequalities, maximum principle and related eigenvalue problem

In this paper we deal with three types of problems concerning the Hardy-Rellich's embedding for a bi-Laplacian operator. First we obtain the Hardy-Rellich inequalities in the critical dimension n=4. Then we derive a maximum principle for fourth order operators with singular terms. Then we study the existence, non-existence, simplicity and asymptotic behavior of the first eigenvalue of the Hardy-Rellich operator under various assumptions on the perturbation q.     

Nonlocal maximum principles for active scalars

Active scalars appear in many problems of fluid dynamics. The most common examples of active scalar equations are 2D Euler, Burgers, and 2D surface quasi-geostrophic equations. Many questions about regularity and properties of solutions of these equations remain open. We develop the idea of nonlocal maximum principle introduced in Kiselev, Nazarov and Volberg (2007) [19], formulating a more general criterion and providing new applications. The most interesting application is finite time regularization of weak solutions in the supercritical regime.
