Closed relativistic strings in geometrically nontrivial spaces

We find exact solutions of the equations of motion for a closed relativistic string that carries a point mass and moves in the space given by the direct product of Minkowski space and a compact manifold (multidimensional torus). We investigate physical characteristics of the system states described by these solutions.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 142, No. 1, pp. 72–82, January, 2005.     

A novel finite point method for flow simulation

A novel finite point method is developed to simulate flow problems. The mashes in the traditional numerical methods are supplanted by the distribution of points in the calculation domain. A local interpolation based on the properties of Taylor series expansion is used to construct an approximation for unknown functions and their derivatives. An upwind‐dominated scheme is proposed to efficiently handle the non‐linear convection. Comparison with the finite difference solutions for the two‐dimensional driven cavity flow and the experimental results for flow around a cylinder shows that the present method is capable of satisfactorily predicting the flow separation characteristic. The present algorithm is simple and flexible for complex geometric boundary. The influence of the point distribution on computation time and accuracy of results is included.

On the stability of the J transformation

The stability of a large class of nonlinear sequence transformations is analyzed. Considered are variants of the J transformation [17]. Suitable variants of this transformation belong to the most successful extrapolation algorithms that are known [20]. Similar to recent results of Sidi, it is proved that the _p {J} transformations, the Weniger S transformation, the Levin transformation and a special case of the generalized Richardson extrapolation process of Sidi are S-stable. An efficient algorithm for the calculation of stability indices is presented. A numerical example demonstrates the validity of the approach. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Wave Motions in a Two-Layer Fluid Driven by Small Oscillations of a Cylinder Intersecting the Interface

The plane problem of steady-state small oscillations of a horizontal cylinder located at the interface between two fluids of different densities and indefinite depth is considered in the linear formulation. Boundary integral equations for the surface source distribution are derived. The behavior of the distributed singularities at points of intersection of the body contour and the interface is investigated. The problem of oscillations of a circular cylinder is solved by the multipole expansion method. The apparent mass and damping coefficients of the radiation problem and the reflection coefficient of the problem of scattering of an impinging wave by a floating body are calculated.

On the accumulation of eigenvalues of operator pencils connected with the problem of vibrations in a viscoelastic rod

In this paper, we study the problem of the boundary accumulation of a discrete spectrum, which is essential for a boundary-value problem of fourth order arising in the theory of small transverse vibrations in an inhomogeneous viscoelastic rod (a Kelvin—Voigt body). We establish conditions for such an accumulation and its asymptotics, which are expressed in terms of the coefficients defining the problem posed by the differential expression. The results obtained are illustrated by numerical computation data.
