    Bessel Integrals and Fundamental Solutions for a Generalized Tricomi Operator

    Get PDF
    Partial Fourier transforms are used to find explicit formulas for two remarkable fundamental solutions for a generalized Tricomi operator. These fundamental solutions reflect clearly the mixed type of the operator. In order to prove these results, we establish explicit formulas for Fourier transforms of some type of Bessel functions

    Vortex line representation for flows of ideal and viscous fluids

    It is shown that the Euler hydrodynamics for vortical flows of an ideal fluid coincides with the equations of motion of a charged {\it compressible} fluid moving due to a self-consistent electromagnetic field. Transition to the Lagrangian description in a new hydrodynamics is equivalent for the original Euler equations to the mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian description - the vortex line representation (VLR). Due to compressibility of a "new" fluid the collapse of vortex lines can happen as the result of breaking (or overturning) of vortex lines. It is found that the Navier-Stokes equation in the vortex line representation can be reduced to the equation of the diffusive type for the Cauchy invariant with the diffusion tensor given by the metric of the VLR

    Ab-initio multimode linewidth theory for arbitrary inhomogeneous laser cavities

    Get PDF
    We present a multimode laser-linewidth theory for arbitrary cavity structures and geometries that contains nearly all previously known effects and also finds new nonlinear and multimode corrections, e.g. a bad-cavity correction to the Henry α\alpha factor and a multimode Schawlow--Townes relation (each linewidth is proportional to a sum of inverse powers of all lasing modes). Our theory produces a quantitatively accurate formula for the linewidth, with no free parameters, including the full spatial degrees of freedom of the system. Starting with the Maxwell--Bloch equations, we handle quantum and thermal noise by introducing random currents whose correlations are given by the fluctuation--dissipation theorem. We derive coupled-mode equations for the lasing-mode amplitudes and obtain a formula for the linewidths in terms of simple integrals over the steady-state lasing modes.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figure

    Exact Analytical Solution of the N-dimensional Radial Schrodinger Equation with Pseudoharmonic Potential via Laplace Transform Approach

    Get PDF
    The second order NN-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential is reduced to a first order differential equation by using the Laplace transform approach and exact bound state solutions are obtained using convolution theorem. Some special cases are verified and variation of energy eigenvalues EnE_n as a function of dimension NN are furnished. To give an extra depth of this letter, present approach is also briefly investigated for generalized Morse potential as an example.Comment: 16 pages.Published version has some figure
