Beyond the Mean-Field Model of the Ring Cavity

The ring cavity device with large diffraction path in the free-space of the cavity cannotbe described within the mean-field model. It is shown to generate a large variety of monoconicaland multiconical patterns with wave and/or Türing modes, for anonlinear medium either made of two-level atoms or with a χ ⁽²⁾ crystal.Even in the limit of a single-longitudinal mode operation, monoconical structures can be differentfrom those predicted by the mean-field model. For instance, chaotic localized structures with anatomic medium and square patterns with a DOPO are presented.

On the estimation of the shape parameter of the gamma distribution in second-order asymptotics

In the two-parameter case with parameter orthogonality, we propose a method of constructing an estimator with second-order admissibility under any loss function with a given loss coefficient. Furthermore, we give a sufficient condition for any estimator to be second-order admissible or inadmissible. On the basis of these results, the problem of estimating the shape parameter of the gamma distribution is discussed at the level of second-order asymptotics.     

生态系统的参数确定问题

通过不同观测数据研究捕食者—被捕食者生态系统参数确定问题.研究了四种情形1.观察数据无误差,并已知一个参数值.这种情况下,参数可由其相轨线和最小二乘法精确确定.2.观察数据无误差,但所有参数未知.此时仅靠相轨线的研究,无论给出多少组精确数据,都无法精确确定这些参数.通过原非线性模型的数值计算和网格搜索法,至少需要4组数据,同样得到了精度较高的参数值.3.当观测数据有误差时,根据解的周期性,引入标准周期的概念,在一个标准周期里讨论参数的确定问题,并利用标准周期内的捕食者与被捕食者的数量均值与系统的平衡点的关系对参数进行修正,然后使用网格法进行搜索,进一步提高了参数的精度.4.当观测时间也有误差时,先选取相对最优的随机正态数对观测时刻进行修正,然后再利用3.的方法估计参数.     

Sets with the Pompeiu property on the plane and on the sphere

We obtain new sufficient conditions under which a set on the plane has the Pompeiu property. This result allows us to construct first examples of domains with the Pompeiu property with non-Lipschitz (and even fractal) boundary. In addition, we study the problem of determining the least radius of the ball on the sphere in which a given set is a Pompeiu set. We obtain the solution of this problem in the case of a biangle and a spherical half-disk. We also consider some applications to questions of complex analysis.     

On the oscillation of the Brownian motion process

Paley, Wiener and Zygmund proved that, with probability 1, Brownian paths never satisfy a Lipschitz condition of order greater than 1/2. This result is improved by showing that they never satisfy even a Lipschitz condition of order 1/2 with a sufficiently small Lipschitz constant. This research was sponsored by National Science Grant NSF-GP-316 at Columbia University.     

On the Borelness of the intersection operation

We study the intersection operation of closed linear subspaces in a separable Banach space. We show that if the ambient space is quasi-reflexive, then the intersection operation is Borel. On the other hand, if the space contains a closed subspace with a Schauder decomposition into infinitely many non-reflexive spaces, then the intersection operation is not Borel. As a corollary, for a closed subspace of a Banach space with an unconditional basis, the intersection operation of the closed linear subspaces is Borel if and only if the space is reflexive. We also consider the intersection operation of additive subgroups in an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space, and show that if this intersection operation is Borel then the space is hereditarily indecomposable.     

On the solution of the Abel equation of the second kind by the shifted Chebyshev polynomials

This paper presents a new approximate method of Abel differential equation. By using the shifted Chebyshev expansion of the unknown function, Abel differential equation is approximately transformed to a system of nonlinear equations for the unknown coefficients. A desired solution can be determined by solving the resulting nonlinear system. This method gives a simple and closed form of approximate solution of Abel differential equation. The solution is calculated in the form of a series with easily computable components. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the method for this type of equation. Comparing the methodology with some known techniques shows that the present approach is relatively easy and highly accurate.     

On the q -Convolution on the Line

The investigation of a q -analogue of the convolution on the line, started in conjunction with Koornwinder, is continued, with special attention to the approximation of functions by means of the convolution. A new space of functions that forms an increasing chain of algebras (with respect to the q -convolution), depending on a parameter s>0 , is constructed. For a special value of the parameter the corresponding algebra is commutative and unital, and is shown to be the quotient of an algebra studied in a previous paper modulo the kernel of a q -analogue of the Fourier transform. This result has an analytic interpretation in terms of analytic functions, whose q -moments have a (fast) decreasing behavior and allows the extension of Koornwinder's inversion formula for the q -Fourier transform. A few results on the invertibility of functions with respect to the q -convolution are also obtained and they are applied to the solution of certain simple linear q -difference equations with polynomial coefficients.     

Turing Machines Connected to the Undecidability of the Halting Problem

The problem of finding a Turing machine with undecidable halting problem whose program contains the smallest number of instructions is well known. Obviously, such a machine must satisfy the following condition: by deleting even a single instruction from its program, we get a machine with decidable halting problem. In this paper, Turing machines with undecidable halting problem satisfying this condition are called connected. We obtain a number of general properties of such machines and deduce their simplest corollaries concerning the minimal machine with undecidable halting problem.     

The effect of discretization on the numerical simulation of the vibrations of the impacting cantilever beam

We study the dynamics of a cantilever beam with an unnegligible large mass and with a concentrated mass fixed at the end, which impacts on the base during motion. Generally to model such a system, the finite element method with appropriate number of degrees of freedom has to be employed. However, to analyse some selected aspects of its dynamic behaviour, particularly to predict if the motion with impacts will be periodic, lower-dimensional substitutive models with one degree or two degrees of freedom can be employed. The way to determine the parameters of such models and their applicability limits are discussed.     

A note on the approximability of the toughness of graphs

We show that, if NP≠ZPP, for any >0, the toughness of a graph with n vertices is not approximable in polynomial time within a factor of . We give a 4-approximation for graphs with toughness bounded by and we show that this result cannot be generalized to graphs with a bounded toughness. More exactly we prove that there is no constant approximation for graphs with bounded toughness, unless P=NP.     

On the Positivity of the Stochastic Heat Equation

We study the positivity preserving properties of the heat equation with a white noise potential and random initial condition. Moreover, we find a generalized Feynman--Kac formula for the solution of the problem using methods from the white noise analysis. The initial condition can anticipate the driving white noise. We show that the solution is positive, when the random initial condition is positive. For the case of a time-dependent white noise potential, we give a special representation of the solution together with regularity results.     

On the classification of the coadjoint orbits of the Sobolev Bott-Virasoro group

The purpose of this paper is to give the classification of the Bott-Virasoro coadjoint orbits, with nonzero central charge, in the functional analytic setting of smooth Hilbert manifolds. The central object of the paper is thus the completion of the Bott-Virasoro group with respect to a Sobolev topology, giving rise to a smooth Hilbert manifold and topological group, called the Sobolev Bott-Virasoro group. As a consequence of this approach, analytic and geometric properties of the coadjoint orbits are studied.     

On the algorithm of the solution of the signorini problem

An algorithm is proposed for solving the Signorini problem /1/ in the formulation of a unilateral variational problem for the boundary functional in the zone of possible contact /2/. The algorithm is based on a dual formulation of Lagrange maximin problems for whose solution a decomposition approach is used in the following sense: a Ritz process in the basis functions that satisfy the linear constraint of the problem, the differential equation in the domain, is used in solving the minimum problem (with fixed Lagrange multipliers); the maximum problem is solved by the method of descent (a generalization of the Frank-Wolf method) under convexity constraints on the Lagrange multipliers. The algorithm constructed can be conisidered as a modification of the well-known algorithm to find the Udzawa-Arrow-Hurwitz saddle points /3, 4/. The convergence of the algorithm is investigated. A numerical analysis of the algorithm is performed in the example of a classical contact problem about the insertion of a stamp in an elastic half-plane under approximation of the contact boundary by isoparametric boundary elements. The comparative efficiency of the algorithm is associated with the reduction in the dimensionality of the boundary value problem being solved and the possibility of utilizing the calculation apparatus of the method of boundary elements to realize the solution.     

On the regularizing properties of the GMRES method

Summary. The GMRES method is a popular iterative method for the solution of large linear systems of equations with a nonsymmetric nonsingular matrix. However, little is known about the behavior of this method when it is applied to the solution of nonsymmetric linear ill-posed problems with a right-hand side that is contaminated by errors. We show that when the associated error-free right-hand side lies in a finite-dimensional Krylov subspace, the GMRES method is a regularization method. The iterations are terminated by a stopping rule based on the discrepancy principle. Received November 10, 2000 / Revised version received April 11, 2001 / Published online October 17, 2001     

Optimization of the chemotherapy process on the base of the maximum principle

We consider an optimal control problems for the chemotherapy process on the base of a known dynamical model. The solution technique is connected with a combination of control modes determined in accordance with the Pontryagin maximum principle. We propose extremal control procedures with particular components supplementing the known therapy strategies within the considered model.     

On the geometry of the Calogero-Moser system

We discuss a special eigenstate of the quantized periodic Calogero—Moser system associated to a root system. This state has the property that its eigenfunctions, when regarded as multivalued functions on the space of regular conjugacy classes in the corresponding semisimple complex Lie group, transform under monodromy according to the complex reflection representation of the affine Hecke algebra. We show that this endows the space of conjugacy classes in question with a projective structure. For a certain parameter range this projective structure underlies a complex hyperbolic structure. If in addition a Schwarz type of integrality condition is satisfied, then it even has the structure of a ball quotient minus a Heegner divisor. For example, the case of the root system E₈ with the triflection monodromy representation describes a special eigenstate for the system of 12 unordered points on the projective line under a particular constraint.     

On the influence of initial stresses on the velocities of the stoneley waves

Wave propagation along a plane boundary separating compressible, previously deformed bodies with elastic potential of arbitrary form, is studied. The linearized theory of wave propagation in bodies with finite initial deformation is used. A case in which one of the bodies is a liquid, is studied. It is shown that in the case of the Murnaghan and harmonic type potentials the wave velocities depend linearly on the initial stresses. In contrast with the case of an unbounded isotropic body /1/, here the character of the dependence is not influenced by the choice of the form of the potential. In the absence of the initial stresses the relations obtained coincide with the results of /2/.
