Polynomial inequalities with asymmetric weights
We initiate the study of the Bernstein-Markov type inequalities for the so called asymmetric weights which may vanish at a given point with different rates. Bernstein type inequality is proved for asymmetric weights with power discrepancies. It turns out that the order of Bernstein factors in the asymmetric case is in general greater than O(n)
Bernstein-type polynomials on several intervals
We construct the analogues of Bernstein polynomials on the set Js of s finitely many intervals. Two cases are considered: first when there are no restrictions on Js, and then when Js has a so-called T-polynomial. On such sets we define approximating operators resembling the classic Bernstein polynomials. Reproducing and interpolation properties as well as estimates for the rate of convergence are given. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017
Spontaneous emission of radiation by metallic electrons in the presence of electromagnetic fields of surface plasmon oscillations
The spontaneous emission of radiation of metallic electrons embedded in a
high-intensity enhanced surface plasmon field is considered analytically. The
electrons are described by exact dressed quantum states which contain the
interaction with the plasmon field non-perturbatively. Considerable deviations
from the pertubative behaviour have been found in the intensity dependence of
the emitted fundamental and the second harmonic signals, even at moderate
incoming laser intensities. The theoretical predictions deduced from the
formalism are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental results.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figure
Neutron cross-sections for advanced nuclear systems : The n-TOF project at CERN
© Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014 This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly citedThe study of neutron-induced reactions is of high relevance in a wide variety of fields, ranging from stellar nucleosynthesis and fundamental nuclear physics to applications of nuclear technology. In nuclear energy, high accuracy neutron data are needed for the development of Generation IV fast reactors and accelerator driven systems, these last aimed specifically at nuclear waste incineration, as well as for research on innovative fuel cycles. In this context, a high luminosity Neutron Time Of Flight facility, n-TOF, is operating at CERN since more than a decade, with the aim of providing new, high accuracy and high resolution neutron cross-sections. Thanks to the features of the neutron beam, a rich experimental program relevant to nuclear technology has been carried out so far. The program will be further expanded in the near future, thanks in particular to a new high-flux experimental area, now under construction.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio
