3nj Morphogenesis and Semiclassical Disentangling
Recoupling coefficients (3nj symbols) are unitary transformations between
binary coupled eigenstates of N=(n+1) mutually commuting SU(2) angular momentum
operators. They have been used in a variety of applications in spectroscopy,
quantum chemistry and nuclear physics and quite recently also in quantum
gravity and quantum computing. These coefficients, naturally associated to
cubic Yutsis graphs, share a number of intriguing combinatorial, algebraic, and
analytical features that make them fashinating objects to be studied on their
own. In this paper we develop a bottom--up, systematic procedure for the
generation of 3nj from 3(n-1)j diagrams by resorting to diagrammatical and
algebraic methods. We provide also a novel approach to the problem of
classifying various regimes of semiclassical expansions of 3nj coefficients
(asymptotic disentangling of 3nj diagrams) for n > 2 by means of combinatorial,
analytical and numerical tools
Restarted Hessenberg method for solving shifted nonsymmetric linear systems
It is known that the restarted full orthogonalization method (FOM)
outperforms the restarted generalized minimum residual (GMRES) method in
several circumstances for solving shifted linear systems when the shifts are
handled simultaneously. Many variants of them have been proposed to enhance
their performance. We show that another restarted method, the restarted
Hessenberg method [M. Heyouni, M\'ethode de Hessenberg G\'en\'eralis\'ee et
Applications, Ph.D. Thesis, Universit\'e des Sciences et Technologies de Lille,
France, 1996] based on Hessenberg procedure, can effectively be employed, which
can provide accelerating convergence rate with respect to the number of
restarts. Theoretical analysis shows that the new residual of shifted restarted
Hessenberg method is still collinear with each other. In these cases where the
proposed algorithm needs less enough CPU time elapsed to converge than the
earlier established restarted shifted FOM, weighted restarted shifted FOM, and
some other popular shifted iterative solvers based on the short-term vector
recurrence, as shown via extensive numerical experiments involving the recent
popular applications of handling the time fractional differential equations.Comment: 19 pages, 7 tables. Some corrections for updating the reference
Porous medium equation with nonlocal pressure
We provide a rather complete description of the results obtained so far on
the nonlinear diffusion equation , which describes a flow through a porous medium driven by a
nonlocal pressure. We consider constant parameters and , we assume
that the solutions are non-negative, and the problem is posed in the whole
space. We present a theory of existence of solutions, results on uniqueness,
and relation to other models. As new results of this paper, we prove the
existence of self-similar solutions in the range when and , and the
asymptotic behavior of solutions when . The cases and were
rather well known.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figure
