Wave scattering on a domain wall in a chain of PT-symmetric couplers
We study wave propagation in linear arrays composed of pairs of conjugate
waveguides with balanced gain and loss, i.e. arrays of the PT-symmetric
couplers, where the linear spectrum is known to feature high-frequency and
low-frequency branches. We introduce a domain wall by switching the gain and
loss in a half of the array, and analyze the scattering of linear waves on this
defect. The analysis reveals two major effects: amplification of both reflected
and transmitted waves, and excitation of the reflected and transmitted
low-frequency and high-frequency waves by the incident high-frequency and
low-frequency waves, respectively.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures, Physical Review A, in pres
Exact Moving and Stationary Solutions of a Generalized Discrete Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation
We obtain exact moving and stationary, spatially periodic and localized
solutions of a generalized discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. More
specifically, we find two different moving periodic wave solutions and a
localized moving pulse solution. We also address the problem of finding exact
stationary solutions and, for a particular case of the model when stationary
solutions can be expressed through the Jacobi elliptic functions, we present a
two-point map from which all possible stationary solutions can be found.
Numerically we demonstrate the generic stability of the stationary pulse
solutions and also the robustness of moving pulses in long-term dynamics.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, to appear in J. Phys.
Optimizing the economic information transparency level of high-tech enterprises in the post-industrial globalized economy
Purpose: Managerial conditions of economic operation of a high technology enterprise as it integrates into the global economy that is essentially postindustrial and globalized were considered in this article. Design/Methodology/Approach: An inevitable immersion of the enterprise into the well-developed external infosphere, as well as a membrane borderline between the external and the internal infospheres were shown. The enterprise was represented dually – as both a donor and a recipient of information resources. Findings: An interpretation of the content of the infosphere was presented. Multiple causes of the discrete nature of the enterprise’s infosphere implementation were shown. The concept of “informational economic transparency” of an enterprise was introduced, and multiple components determining transparency levels were described. Practical Implications: The influence of transformations of informational economic transparency of an enterprise on external impacts on it from legal relations parties. Positive and negative effect of increases and decreases in the informational economic transparency of the enterprise were highlighted in the context of its influence on the economic counterpart and conflict-studies situations. The understanding of the specialized control object was provided. The optimizability of a level of the transparency in the aspect of target orientation of the enterprise was demonstrated. Originality/Value: A structural prototype to the primary support managerial toolkit in the shape of a DSS, a recommender system, allowing to conduct required feasibility studies of managerial decisions was proposed.peer-reviewe
Unification and convergence of hierarchic structures such as organizational separations and product projects at creation of recommending decision support systems
Studied the problem of integrated self-management of multilevel hierarchic groups and quasi-groups under modern economic conditions, based on intellectual recommending Decision Support Systems (DSS). Split-level stereotypical linear organizational structures and project organizational quasi-structures involved in implementation of separated product projects and project groups have been conceptually unified. Proved that this unification in question engenders, for each management level, a coordinating inter-project managing system that is toponymical identical to the managing system of this level. Demonstrated that relevant management is organically whole and can be viewed as self-management of a general corporate structure. Discovered that hierarchic economical management can be in principle reduced to a finite sequence of bilevel economical managements of general corporate structures, where the order of hierarchy levels descends from the top level to the bottom one. Presented a schematic description of the basic procedural modes of operation of the respective recommending DSS.peer-reviewe
