A theoretical analysis of formation flight as a nonlinear self-organizing phenomenon

This study analyses the existence, stability and self-organizationof formation flight utilized by migrant birds. Air is approximatedas an incompressible inviscid flow, while birds are modelledas elliptically loaded lifting-lines. Application of conventionalwing theory leads to newly derived, basic equations that describethe problem as a dynamical system of multiple wings interactingwith each other through induced flow field. Formation flightis defined as the steady-state solution of the basic equations,in particular the solution that all the birds fly at the samespeed. In the case of a prescribed thrust, constant transverseinterval between adjacent birds, and a flock of physically identicalbirds, analytical study of the basic equations reveals the factsthat (1) formation flight is self-organized and (2) this formationflight is stable. The new implication is that a configurationof formation emerges as a result of nonlinear dynamical interactionbetween many birds and that this nonlinear dynamical systemdoes not exhibit chaotic behaviour. Numerical calculation hasalso been done for cormorant-type birds with the same transverseinterval between flock members. The proposed numerical schemequickly converges to very accurate results owing to the recentlyderived, closed-form expression of induced velocity distributionaround an elliptically loaded lifting-line. Transverse intervalsbetween birds are found to be a more important factor than thenumber of birds. Configurations of formations are found to beinverted U rather than inverted V. In these formations everybird enjoys the same amount of drag reduction.     

Nondecomposable solutions to group equations and an application to polyhedral combinatorics

This paper is based on the study of the set of nondecomposable integer solutions in a Gomory corner polyhedron, which was recently used in a reformulation method for integer linear programs. In this paper, we present an algorithm for efficiently computing this set. We precompute a database of nondecomposable solutions for cyclic groups up to order 52. As a second application of this database, we introduce an algorithm for computing nontrivial simultaneous lifting coefficients. The lifting coefficients are exact for a discrete relaxation of the integer program that consists of a group relaxation plus bound constraints.

What lifts?

As is well known, idempotents in any ring R lift modulo any nil idea I. That is, if a ? R and (a₂-a) ? I there is an i ? I with (a + i)²-- (a + i) = 0. An idempotent is a zero of the polynomial x ²?x ², and a nil element satisfies x ⁿfor some n. Seen this way, lifting occurs in considerable generality We assume R has a unit, and handle the non-unital case at the end of this paper.

Gap opening in single-layer graphene in the presence of periodic scalar and vector potentials within the continuum model

Gap opening at the Dirac point of the single-layer graphene with periodic scalar and vector potentials has been theoretically investigated under the continuum model. The symmetry analysis indicates that the two-fold degeneracy at the Dirac point can be lifted when the potentials break both the chiral symmetry and the time-reversal symmetry. With the perturbation theory, we derive an analytical expression (gap equation) for gap opening at the Dirac point. Furthermore, the bandgap from the gap equation agrees well with the exact result, when the applied potentials are weak.
