On quasi-reduced quadratic forms

With the help of continued fractions, we plan to list all the elements of the set Q△ = {aX2 ＋ bXY ＋ cY2 ： a,b, c ∈Z, b2 - 4ac = △ with 0 ≤ b 〈 √△}of quasi-reduced quadratic forms of fundamental discriminant △. As a matter of fact, we show that for each reduced quadratic form f = aX2 ＋ bXY ＋ cY2 = （a, b, c） of discriminant △〉0（and of sign σ（f） equal to the sign of a）, the quadratic forms associated with f and defined by {〈a＋bu＋cu2,b＋2cu.c〉},with 1≤σ（f）u≤b/2｜c｜ （whenever they exist）, 〈c,-b-2cu,a＋bu＋cu2〉 with b/2｜c｜≤σ（f）u≤[w（f）]=[b＋√△/2｜c｜], are all different from one another and build a set I（f） whose cardinality is #I（f）={1＋[ω（f）],when（2c）｜b,[ω（f）],when （2c）｜b. If f and g are two different reduced quadratic forms, we show that I（f） ∩ I（g） = Ф. Our main result is that the set Q△ is given by the disjoint union of all I（f） with f running through the set of reduced quadratic forms of discriminant △〉0. This allows us to deduce a formula for #（Q△） involving sums of partial quotients of certain continued fractions.     

Instability transitions and ensemble equivalence in diffusive flow

We investigate the critical behavior of one-dimensional (1D) stochastic flow with competing nonlocal and local hopping events, in context of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with a defect site in a 1D closed chain. The defect site can effectively generate various boundary conditions, controlling the total number of particles in the system. Both open and periodic-like setups exhibit dynamic instability transitions from a populated finite density phase to an empty road (ER) phase as the nonlocal hopping rate increases. In the stationary populated phase, strong clustering promoted by nonlocal skids drives such transitions and determines their scaling properties. By static and dynamic simulations, we locate such transition points, and discuss their nature and scaling properties. In the open TASEP variant, we numerically establish that the instability transition into the ER phase is second order in the regime where the entry point reservoir controls the current, while it is first order in the regime where the bulk controls the current. Since it is well known that such transitions are absent in the periodic TASEP variant, we compare our results in the open setup with those in the periodic-like setup, and discuss the issue of the ensemble equivalence. Finally, the same discussion is extended to the symmetric cases.      

Equilibrants, semipositive matrices, calculation and scaling

For square, semipositive matrices A (Ax>0 for some x>0), two (nonnegative) equilibrants e(A) and E(A) are defined. Our primary goal is to develop theory from which each may be calculated. To this end, the collection of semipositive matrices is partitioned into three subclasses for each equilibrant, and a connection to those matrices that are scalable to doubly stochastic matrices is made. In the process a certain matrix/vector equation that is related to scalability of a matrix to one with line sums 1 is derived and discussed.     

A structural mechanics approach for the phonon dispersion analysis of graphene

A molecular structural mechanics model for the numerical simulation of phonon dispersion relations of graphene is developed by relating the C-C bond molecular potential energy to the strain energy of the equivalent beam-truss space frame. With the stiffness matrix known and further based on the periodic structure characteristics, the Bloch theorem is introduced to develop the dispersion relation of graphene sheet. Being different from the existing structural mechanics model, interactions between the fourth-nearest neighbor atoms are further simulated with beam elements to compensate the reduced stretching stiffness, where as a result not only the dispersion relations in the low frequency field are accurately achieved, but results in the high frequency field are also reasonably obtained. This work is expected to provide new opportunities for the dynamic properties analysis of graphene and future application in the engineering sector.     

Generalized divisors on Gorenstein schemes

We develop a theory of generalized divisors on a Gorenstein scheme whereby any closed subscheme of pure codimension one without embedded points can be regarded as an effective divisor. Most of the usual theory of linear equivalence, associated sheaf, etc., carries over to this more general setting. The definition uses reflexive sheaves, so we first review the theory of reflexive modules. As an application, we give new definitions of liaison and biliaison for subschemes of ⁿ , which simplify the foundations of the theory of liaison. We also compute explicitly the set of generalized divisor classes on some reducible and singular schemes.     

Premixed flame response to equivalence ratio perturbations

This paper studies the heat-release oscillation response of premixed flames to oscillations in reactant stream fuel/air ratio. Prior analyses have studied this problem in the linear regime and have shown that heat release dynamics are controlled by the superposition of three processes: flame speed, heat of reaction, and flame surface area oscillations. Each contribution has somewhat different dynamics, leading to complex frequency and mean fuel/air ratio dependencies. The present work extends these analyses to include stretch and non quasi-steady effects on the linear flame dynamics, as well as analysis of nonlinearities in flame response characteristics. Because the flame response is controlled by a superposition of multiple processes, each with a highly nonlinear dependence upon fuel/air ratio, the results are quite rich and the key nonlinearity mechanism varies with mean fuel/air ratio, frequency, and amplitude of excitation. In the quasi-steady framework, two key mechanisms leading to heat-release saturation have been identified. The first of these is the flame-kinematic mechanism, previously studied in the context of premixed flame response to flow oscillations and recently highlighted by Birbaud et al. (Combustion and Flame 154 (2008), 356–367). This mechanism arises due to fluctuations in flame position associated with the oscillations in flame speed. The second mechanism is due to the intrinsically nonlinear dependence of flame speed and mixture heat of reaction upon fuel/air ratio oscillations. This second mechanism is particularly dominant at perturbation amplitudes that cause the instantaneous stoichiometry to oscillate between lean and rich values, thereby causing non-monotonic variation of local flame speed and heat of reaction with equivalence ratio.     

Point classification of second order ODEs and its application to Painlevé equations

The first part of this work is a review of the point classification of second order ODEs done by Ruslan Sharipov. His works were published in 1997-1998 in the Electronic Archive at LANL. The second part is an application of this classification to Painlevé equations. In particular, it allows us to solve the equivalence problem for Painlevé equations in an algorithmic form.     

A Markov chain approach to renormalization group transformations

We aim at an explicit characterization of the renormalized Hamiltonian after decimation transformation of a one-dimensional Ising-type Hamiltonian with a nearest-neighbor interaction and a magnetic field term. To facilitate a deeper understanding of the decimation effect, we translate the renormalization flow on the Ising Hamiltonian into a flow on the associated Markov chains through the Markov–Gibbs equivalence. Two different methods are used to verify the well-known conjecture that the eigenvalues of the linearization of this renormalization transformation about the fixed point bear important information about all six of the critical exponents. This illustrates the universality property of the renormalization group map in this case.
