The real scalar field in extreme RNdS space

The real scalar field equation between the outer black hole horizon and the cosmological horizon is solved in the extreme Reissner-Nordström de Sitter (RNdS) space. We use an accurate approximation, the polynomial approximation, to approximate the tortoise coordinate x(r) in order to get the inverse function r = r(x) and then to solve the wave equation. The case where the two horizons are very close to each other is discussed in detail. We find that the wave function is harmonic only in the very small regions near the horizons, and the amplitude decreases remarkably near the potential peak because of the effect of the potential. Furthermore, it is found that the height of the potential increases as the cosmological constant Λ decreases, and the wave amplitude will decrease more remarkably with less Λ.     

A half-moment model for radiative transfer in a 3D gray medium and its reduction to a moment model for hot, opaque sources

We present in this paper a new 3D half-moment model for radiative transfer in a gray medium, called the model, which uses maximum entropy closure. This model is a generalization to 3D of the 1D version recently proposed in (J. Comp. Phys. 180 (2002) 584). The direction space Ω is divided into two pieces, Ω⁺ and Ω^-, in a dynamical way by the plane perpendicular to the total radiative flux, and the half moments are defined from these subspaces. The model closure and the integrations of the radiative transfer equation performed on the moving Ω^± spaces are detailed. 1D planar results, which have motivated the extension of the model of (J. Comp. Phys. 180 (2002) 584) to multi-dimensions, are shown. These results are very good. The model is thereafter derived for 3D spherically symmetric geometry, where the correctness of the non-trivial border terms can be checked. Two 3D spherically symmetric problems are numerically solved in order to show the accuracy of the closure and the role of the border terms. Once again, compared to the solution obtained with a ray tracing solver, results are very good. From the 3D half-moment model, a new moment model, called , is derived for the particular case of a 3D hot and opaque source radiating into a cold medium, for applications such as simulations of stellar atmospheres and fires. Two-dimensional numerical results are presented and compared to those obtained solving the RTE and with other moment models. They demonstrate the very good accuracy of the model, its good convergence properties, and better prediction compared to all other existing moment models in its domain of applicability.     

The Doss Trick on Symmetric Spaces

The Doss trick is employed to find solutions of Schrüdinger equations on symmetric spaces of compact type. The potentials and initial conditions are taken from an algebra of functions which admit an holomorphic extension to the complexification of the considered symmetric spaces.     

Semidiscrete Galerkin Approximation for a Linear Stochastic Parabolic Partial Differential Equation Driven by an Additive Noise

We study the semidiscrete Galerkin approximation of a stochastic parabolic partial differential equation forced by an additive space-time noise. The discretization in space is done by a piecewise linear finite element method. The space-time noise is approximated by using the generalized L₂ projection operator. Optimal strong convergence error estimates in the L₂ and norms with respect to the spatial variable are obtained. The proof is based on appropriate nonsmooth data error estimates for the corresponding deterministic parabolic problem. The error estimates are applicable in the multi-dimensional case.

Measures on the Splitting Subspaces of an Inner Product Space

Let S be an inner product space and let E(S) (resp. F(S)) be the orthocomplemented poset of all splitting (resp. orthogonally closed) subspaces of S. In this article we study the possible states/charges that E(S) can admit. We first prove that when S is an incomplete inner product space such that dim S/S < , then E(S) admits at least one state with a finite range. This is very much in contrast to states on F(S). We then go on showing that two-valued states can exist on E(S) not only in the case when E(S) consists of the complete/cocomplete subspaces of S. Finally we show that the well known result which states that every regular state on L(H) is necessarily -additive cannot be directly generalized for charges and we conclude by giving a sufficient condition for a regular charge on L(H) to be -additive.     

Stress State of an Elastic Space with a Toroidal‐Shaped Cavity

Solutions are obtained for the stress state problem for an elastic space with an internal toroidalshaped cavity that can be expanded in a trigonometric series in the angle in cylindrical coordinates. Displacements and stresses are specified on the boundary. An analytic solution of the problem is found using generalized analytic functions. Stresses and displacements of points in the elastic space are calculated.     

Nonideal Bose Gases: Correlation Inequalities and Bose Condensation

We consider two simple model systems describing effective repulsion in a nonideal Bose gas. The interaction Hamiltonians in these systems can be analytically represented as functions of the occupation number operators for modes with nonzero momenta (p0). One of these models contains an interaction term corresponding to repulsion of bosons with the mode p=0 and ensuring the thermodynamic superstability of the system; the other model does not contain such a term. We use the Bogoliubov–Dirac–Ginibre approximation and the method of correlation inequalities to prove that a Bose condensate can exist in these model systems. Because of the character of interaction, the condensate can be formed in the superstable case for any values of the spatial dimensions, temperature, and positive chemical potentials.

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.     

Riemann problem for kinematical conservation laws and geometrical features of nonlinear wavefronts

A pair of kinematical conservation laws (KCL) in a ray coordinatesystem (,t) are the basic equations governing the evolutionof a moving curve in two space dimensions. We first study elementarywave solutions and then the Riemann problem for KCL when themetric g, associated with the coordinate designating differentrays, is an arbitrary function of the velocity of propagationm of the moving curve. We assume that m>1 (m is appropriatelynormalized), for which the system of KCL becomes hyperbolic.We interpret the images of the elementary wave solutions inthe (,t)-plane to the (x,y)-plane as elementary shapes of themoving curve (or a nonlinear wavefront when interpreted in aphysical system) and then describe their geometrical properties.Solutions of the Riemann problem with different initial datagive the shapes of the nonlinear wavefront with different combinationsof elementary shapes. Finally, we study all possible interactionsof elementary shapes.
