Localization phenomena in Nonlinear Schrodinger equations with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearities: Theory and applications to Bose-Einstein condensates
We study the properties of the ground state of Nonlinear Schr\"odinger
Equations with spatially inhomogeneous interactions and show that it
experiences a strong localization on the spatial region where the interactions
vanish. At the same time, tunneling to regions with positive values of the
interactions is strongly supressed by the nonlinear interactions and as the
number of particles is increased it saturates in the region of finite
interaction values. The chemical potential has a cutoff value in these systems
and thus takes values on a finite interval. The applicability of the phenomenon
to Bose-Einstein condensates is discussed in detail
Physical bounds and radiation modes for MIMO antennas
Modern antenna design for communication systems revolves around two extremes:
devices, where only a small region is dedicated to antenna design, and base
stations, where design space is not shared with other components. Both imply
different restrictions on what performance is realizable. In this paper
properties of both ends of the spectrum in terms of MIMO performance is
investigated. For electrically small antennas the size restriction dominates
the performance parameters. The regions dedicated to antenna design induce
currents on the rest of the device. Here a method for studying fundamental
bound on spectral efficiency of such configurations is presented. This bound is
also studied for -degree MIMO systems. For electrically large structures the
number of degrees of freedom available per unit area is investigated for
different shapes. Both of these are achieved by formulating a convex
optimization problem for maximum spectral efficiency in the current density on
the antenna. A computationally efficient solution for this problem is
formulated and investigated in relation to constraining parameters, such as
size and efficiency
Stability of networks of delay-coupled delay oscillators
Dynamical networks with time delays can pose a considerable challenge for
mathematical analysis. Here, we extend the approach of generalized modeling to
investigate the stability of large networks of delay-coupled delay oscillators.
When the local dynamical stability of the network is plotted as a function of
the two delays then a pattern of tongues is revealed. Exploiting a link between
structure and dynamics, we identify conditions under which perturbations of the
topology have a strong impact on the stability. If these critical regions are
avoided the local stability of large random networks can be well approximated
analytically
