On the convergence of a finite-difference discretization à la Mickens of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation

In this note, we establish the property of convergence for a finite-difference discretization of a diffusive partial differential equation with generalized Burgers convective law and generalized Hodgkin–Huxley reaction. The numerical method was previously investigated in the literature and, amongst other features of interest, it is a fast and nonlinear technique that is capable of preserving positivity, boundedness and monotonicity. In the present work, we establish that the method is convergent with linear order of convergence in time and quadratic order in space. Some numerical experiments are provided in order to support the analytical results.     

Brownian localization： A generalized coupling model yielding a nonergodic Langevin equation description

A minimal system-plus-reservoir model yielding a nonergodic Langevin equation is proposed, which originates from the cubic-spectral density of environmental oscillators and momentum-dependent coupling. This model allows ballistic diffusion and classical localization simultaneously, in which the fluctuation-dissipation relation is still satisfied but the Khinchin theorem is broken. The asymptotical equilibrium for a nonergodic system requires the initial thermal equilibrium, however, when the system starts from nonthermal conditions, it does not approach the equilibration even though a nonlinear potential is used to bound the particle, this can be confirmed by the zerotb law of thermodynamics. In the dynamics of Brownian localization, due to the memory damping function inducing a constant term, our results show that the stationary distribution of the system depends on its initial preparation of coordinate rather than momentum. The coupled oscillator chain with a fixed end boundary acts as a heat bath, which has long been used in studies of collinear atom/solid-surface scattering and lattice vibration, we investigate this problem from the viewpoint of nonergodicity.     

ON THE MAPPING OF JET SPACES

Any locally invertible morphism of a finite-order jet space is either a prolonged point transformation or a prolonged Lie's contact transformation (the Lie–Bäcklund theorem). We recall this classical result with a simple proof and moreover determine explicit formulae even for all (not necessarily invertible) morphisms of finite-order jet spaces. Examples of generalized (higher-order) contact transformations of jets that destroy all finite-order jet subspaces are stated with comments.     

DERIVATIONS OF THE 3-LIE ALGEBRA REALIZED BY gl(n, ℂ)

This paper studies structures of the 3-Lie algebra M realized by the general linear Lie algebra gl(n, ?). We show that M has only one nonzero proper ideal. We then give explicit expressions of both derivations and inner derivations of M. Finally, we investigate substructures of the (inner) derivation algebra of M.     

Cost-Effective Migration from Sub-Lambda to Wavelength-Based Metro Networks

This article will discuss the importance of hybrid coexistence of sub-lambda grooming with wavelength-based services for driving down costs and maximizing the use of metro bandwidth, as well as enabling next-generation lambda-based services. The article will also address migration to all optical metro networks.     

Novel Wronskian Condition and New Exact Solutions to a （3＋1）-Dimensional Generalized KP Equation

Utilizing the Wronskian technique, a combined Wronskian condition is established for a （3＋1）-dimensional generalized KP equation. The generating functions for matrix entries satisfy a linear system of new partial differential equations. Moreover, as applications, examples of Wronskian determinant solutions, including N-soliton solutions, periodic solutions and rational solutions, are computed.     

Mean Amplitudes of Vibration for Some Linear Gold(I) Complexes

Recently, Braunstein and Clark¹ described the synthesis and vibrational spectra of complexes containing the AuCl₂, AuBr² and AuI₂ ions. In order to obtain a deeper insight into the vibrational properties of these anions it seems interesting to calculate, using the available spectroscopic data, values for the mean amplitudes of vibration and some related quantities.
