Dynamics of charged fluids and 1/L perturbation expansions

Some features of the calculation of fluid dynamo systems in magnetohydrodynamics are studied. In the coupled set of the ordinary linear differential equations for the spherically symmetric $\alpha^2-$dynamos, the problem represented by the presence of the mixed (Robin) boundary conditions is addressed and a new treatment for it is proposed. The perturbation formalism of large$-\ell$ expansions is shown applicable and its main technical steps are outlined.Comment: 16 p

Parameterizable Views for Process Visualization

In large organizations different users or user groups usually have distinguished perspectives over business processes and related data. Personalized views on the managed processes are therefore needed. Existing BPM tools, however, do not provide adequate mechanisms for building and visualizing such views. Very often processes are displayed to users in the same way as drawn by the process designer. To tackle this inflexibility this paper presents an advanced approach for creating personalized process views based on well-defined, parameterizable view operations. Respective operations can be flexibly composed in order to reduce or aggregate process information in the desired way. Depending on the chosen parameterization of the applied view operations, in addition, different "quality levels" with more or less relaxed properties can be obtained for the resulting process views (e.g., regarding the correctness of the created process view scheme). This allows us to consider the specific needs of the different applications utilizing process views (e.g., process monitoring tools or process editors). Altogether, the realized view concept contributes to better deal with complex, long-running business processes with hundreds up to thousands of activities

Quantum star-graph analogues of PT-symmetric square wells

We pick up a solvable ${\cal PT}-$symmetric quantum square well on an interval of $x \in := (-L,L)\mathbb{G}^{(2)}$ (with an $\alpha-$dependent non-Hermiticity given by Robin boundary conditions) and generalize it. In essence, we just replace the support interval $\mathbb{G}^{(2)}$ (reinterpreted as an equilateral two-pointed star graph with the Kirchhoff matching at the vertex $x=0$) by a $q-$pointed equilateral star graph $\mathbb{G}^{(q)}$ endowed with the simplest complex-rotation-symmetric external $\alpha-$dependent Robin boundary conditions. The remarkably compact form of the secular determinant is then deduced. Its analysis reveals that (1) at any integer $q=2,3,...$, there exists the same, $q-$independent and infinite subfamily of the real energies, and (2) at any special $q=2,6,10,...$, there exists another, additional and $q-$dependent infinite subfamily of the real energies. In the spirit of the recently proposed dynamical construction of the Hilbert space of a quantum system, the physical bound-state interpretation of these eigenvalues is finally proposed.Comment: 20 pp, 1 figur

Polygraphs for termination of left-linear term rewriting systems

We present a methodology for proving termination of left-linear term rewriting systems (TRSs) by using Albert Burroni's polygraphs, a kind of rewriting systems on algebraic circuits. We translate the considered TRS into a polygraph of minimal size whose termination is proven with a polygraphic interpretation, then we get back the property on the TRS. We recall Yves Lafont's general translation of TRSs into polygraphs and known links between their termination properties. We give several conditions on the original TRS, including being a first-order functional program, that ensure that we can reduce the size of the polygraphic translation. We also prove sufficient conditions on the polygraphic interpretations of a minimal translation to imply termination of the original TRS. Examples are given to compare this method with usual polynomial interpretations.Comment: 15 page

PT symmetric models in more dimensions and solvable square-well versions of their angular Schroedinger equations

For any central potential V in D dimensions, the angular Schroedinger equation remains the same and defines the so called hyperspherical harmonics. For non-central models, the situation is more complicated. We contemplate two examples in the plane: (1) the partial differential Calogero's three-body model (without centre of mass and with an impenetrable core in the two-body interaction), and (2) the Smorodinsky-Winternitz' superintegrable harmonic oscillator (with one or two impenetrable barriers). These examples are solvable due to the presence of the barriers. We contemplate a small complex shift of the angle. This creates a problem: the barriers become "translucent" and the angular potentials cease to be solvable, having the sextuple-well form for Calogero model and the quadruple or double well form otherwise. We mimic the effect of these potentials on the spectrum by the multiple, purely imaginary square wells and tabulate and discuss the result in the first nontrivial double-well case.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures (see version 1), amendment (a single comment added on p. 7
