Crystal structure and the role of cation group factor in the third‐order nonlinear optical properties of cadmium complexes constructed by 1,3‐dithiole‐2‐thione‐4,5‐dithiolato ligand

A cadmium complex bis(benzyltriethylammonium) bis(1,3‐dithiole‐2‐thione‐4,5‐dithiolato)‐cadmium(II) ((TEBA)₂[Cd(DMIT)₂]) has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined by means of X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. The central cadmium(II) ion coordinates with two DMIT, which constructed a distorted tetrahedron environment. Its third‐order nonlinear optical properties have been studied using Z‐scan technique with 20 ps pulses at wavelength 1064 nm. Its third‐order nonlinear susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ value was determined to be 1.24 × 10⁻¹⁹ m² V⁻², the figure of merit, χ⁽³⁾/α₀, was estimated to be 2.64 × 10⁻²⁰ m³ V⁻².

Convergence of some asynchronous nonlinear multisplitting methods

Frommer's nonlinear multisplitting methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations are extended to the asynchronous setting. Block methods are extended to include overlap as well. Several specific cases are discussed. Sufficient conditions to guarantee their local convergence are given. A numerical example is presented illustrating the performance of the new approach.

Autoresonant asymptotics in an oscillating system with weak dissipation

We study a system of two first-order differential equations arising in averaging nonlinear systems over fast single-frequency oscillations. We consider the situation where the original system contains weak dissipative terms. We construct the asymptotic form of a two-parameter solution with an unbounded increasing amplitude. This result gives a key for understanding autoresonance in weak dissipative systems as a phenomenon of significant increase in the forced nonlinear oscillation initiated by a small external pumping. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 160, No. 1, pp. 102–111, July, 2009.     

Application of Volterra and Wiener Theories for Nonlinear Parameter Estimation in a Rotor-Bearing System

Volterra and Wiener theories provide the concepts of linear,bilinear, tri-linear, etc., kernels, which upon convolution with theexcitation force, can be employed to represent the response of anonlinear system. Based on these theories, higher-order frequencyresponse functions (FRFs) are employed to estimate the nonlinearstiffness of rolling element bearings, supporting a rigid rotor. Therotor-bearing assembly is idealized as a single-degree-freedom system,with cubic nonlinearity. The analysis involves a third-order kernelrepresentation of the system response. The first and third-order kerneltransforms are extracted from the measurements of the appliedwhite-noise excitation and the resultant response. A third-order kernelfactor is synthesized from this first-order kernel and is processedalong with the third-order kernel for estimation of the nonlinearparameter. Damping is assumed to be linear in the analysis. Theprocedure is demonstrated through measurements on a laboratory test rig.     

Study on EDFA Gain Tilt and Nonlinear Distortion in an AM-VSB CATV Optical Fiber Transmission System

The gain tilt of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the nonlinear distortion in an AM-VSB CATV optical fiber transmission system with a cascade of EDFAs are analyzed. It demonstrates that the nonlinear distortion induced by the light source and the EDFA would be counteracted each other to a certain degree as long as the EDFA has a negative gain tilt. As a result,an optimal EDFA negative gain tilt is suggested as a solution to self-compensation of the nonlinear distortion.

Semi-discrete integrable nonlinear Schrödinger system with background-controlled inter-site resonant coupling

We summarize the most featured items characterizing the semi-discrete nonlinear Schrödinger system with background-controlled inter-site resonant coupling. The system is shown to be integrable in the Lax sense that make it possible to obtain its soliton solutions in the framework of properly parameterized dressing procedure based on the Darboux transformation. On the other hand the system integrability inspires an infinite hierarchy of local conservation laws some of which were found explicitly in the framework of generalized recursive approach. The system consists of two basic dynamic subsystems and one concomitant subsystem and it permits the Hamiltonian formulation accompanied by the highly nonstandard Poisson structure. The nonzero background level of concomitant fields mediates the appearance of an additional type of inter-site resonant coupling and as a consequence it establishes the triangular-lattice-ribbon spatial arrangement of location sites for the basic field excitations. Adjusting the background parameter we are able to switch over the system dynamics between two essentially different regimes separated by the critical point. The system criticality against the background parameter is manifested both indirectly by the auxiliary linear spectral problem and directly by the nonlinear dynamical equations themselves. The physical implications of system criticality become evident after the rather sophisticated canonization procedure of basic field variables. There are two variants of system standardization equal in their rights. Each variant is realizable in the form of two nonequivalent canonical subsystems. The broken symmetry between canonical subsystems gives rise to the crossover effect in the nature of excited states. Thus in the under-critical region the system support the bright excitations in both subsystems, while in the over-critical region one of subsystems converts into the subsystem of dark excitations.     

Topological Hypergroups in the Sense of Marty

In this paper, we introduce the concept of topological hypergroups as a generalization of topological groups. A topological hypergroup is a nonempty set endowed with two structures, that of a topological space and that of a hypergroup. Let (H, ○) be a hypergroup and (H, τ) be a topological space such that the mappings (x, y) → x ○ y and (x, y) → x/y from H × H to 𝒫*(H) are continuous. The main tool to obtain basic properties of hypergroups is the fundamental relation β*. So, by considering the quotient topology induced by the fundamental relation on a hypergroup (H, ○) we show that if every open subset of H is a complete part, then the fundamental group of H is a topological group.

It is important to mention that in this paper the topological hypergroups are different from topological hypergroups which was initiated by Dunkl and Jewett.
