Method of self-similar factor approximants

The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for transcendental functions. In some cases, just a few terms in a power series make it possible to reconstruct a transcendental function exactly. Numerical convergence of the factor approximants is checked for several examples. A special attention is paid to the possibility of extrapolating the behavior of functions, with arguments tending to infinity, from the related asymptotic series at small arguments. Applications of the method are thoroughly illustrated by the examples of several functions, nonlinear differential equations, and anharmonic models.Comment: Latex file, 21 pages, 4 tables, 4 figure

Cannon for Neutral Particles

Dynamics of spin-polarized neutral particles, such as neutrons or neutral atoms and molecules, in magnetic fields is studied. A new regime of motion is found where particles move mainly in one direction forming a well-collimated beam. This regime suggests a mechanism for creating devices emitting directed beams of neutral particles.Comment: 1 file, 7 pages, RevTex, no figures, final versio

Dynamics of Nonground-State Bose-Einstein Condensates

Dilute Bose gases, cooled down to low temperatures below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature, form coherent ensembles described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Stationary solutions to the latter are topological coherent modes. The ground state, corresponding to the lowest energy level, defines the standard Bose-Einstein condensate, while the states with higher energy levels represent nonground-state condensates. The higher modes can be generated by alternating fields, whose frequencies are in resonance with the associated transition frequencies. The condensate with topological coherent modes exhibits a variety of nontrivial effects. Here it is demonstrated that the dynamical transition between the mode-locked and mode-unlocked regimes is accompanied by noticeable changes in the evolutional entanglement production.Comment: latex file, 5 pages, 2 figures, Figs. 1,2 are not include

Regulating atomic imbalance in double-well lattices

An insulating optical lattice with double-well sites is considered. In the case of the unity filling factor, an effective Hamiltonian in the pseudospin representation is derived. A method is suggested for manipulating the properties of the system by varying the shape of the double-well potential. In particular, it is shown that the atomic imbalance can be varied at will and a kind of the Morse-alphabet sequences can be created.Comment: Latex file, 12 pages, 3 figure

Algebraic Self-Similar Renormalization in Theory of Critical Phenomena

We consider the method of self-similar renormalization for calculating critical temperatures and critical indices. A new optimized variant of the method for an effective summation of asymptotic series is suggested and illustrated by several different examples. The advantage of the method is in combining simplicity with high accuracy.Comment: 1 file, 44 pages, RevTe

Chaotic Lattice - Gas Model

A nonuniform system is considered consisting of two phases with different densities of particles. At each given time the distribution of the phases in space is chaotic: each phase filling a set of regions with random shapes and locations. A chaotic diffusion process intermixes these regions by varying their shapes and locations in a random way. To investigate the statistical properties of such a system, it is exemplified by a lattice-gas model. Conditions are analysed when this chaotic lattice-gas model can become thermodynamically more stable than the usual model describing a pure one-phase system.Comment: 1 file, 23 pages, LaTex, no figure

Coherent spin radiation by magnetic nanomolecules and nanoclusters

The peculiarities of coherent spin radiation by magnetic nanomolecules is investigated by means of numerical simulation. The consideration is based on a microscopic Hamiltonian taking into account realistic dipole interactions. Superradiance can be realized only when the molecular sample is coupled to a resonant electric circuit. The feedback mechanism allows for the achievement of a fast spin reversal time and large radiation intensity. The influence on the level of radiation, caused by sample shape and orientation, is analysed. The most powerful coherent radiation is found to occur for an elongated sample directed along the resonator magnetic field.Comment: Latex file, 11 figure

Multichannel Approach to Clustering Matter

An approach is developed, combining the ideas of quantum statistical mechanics and multichannel theory of scattering, for treating statistical systems whose constituents can possess different bound states realized as compact clusters. The main principles for constructing multichannel cluster Hamiltonians are formulated: principle of statistical correctness, principle of cluster coexistence, and principle of potential scaling. The importance of the principle of statistical correctness is emphasized by showing that when it does not hold the behaviour of thermodynamic functions becomes essentially distorted. And moreover, unphysical instabilities can appear. The ideas are carefully illustrated by a statistical model of hot nuclear matter.Comment: 1 file, LaTex, no figure

Temporal Dynamics in Perturbation Theory

Perturbation theory can be reformulated as dynamical theory. Then a sequence of perturbative approximations is bijective to a trajectory of dynamical system with discrete time, called the approximation cascade. Here we concentrate our attention on the stability conditions permitting to control the convergence of approximation sequences. We show that several types of mapping multipliers and Lyapunov exponents can be introduced and, respectively, several types of conditions controlling local stability can be formulated. The ideas are illustrated by calculating the energy levels of an anharmonic oscillator.Comment: 1 file, 21 pages, RevTex, 2 table

Evaporation and Condensation of Clusters

Influence of surrounding matter on the properties of clusters is considered by an approach combining the methods of statistical and quantum mechanics. A cluster is treated as a bound N-particle system and surrounding matter as thermostat. It is shown that, despite arbitrary strong interactions between particles, cluster energy can be calculated by using the controlled perturbation theory. The accuracy of the latter is found to be much higher than that of the quasiclassical approximation. Spectral distribution is obtained by minimizing conditional entropy. Increasing the thermostat temperature leads to the depletion of bound states. The characteristic temperature when bound states become essentially depleated defines the temperature of cluster evaporation. The inverse process of lowering the thermostate temperature, yielding the filling of bound states, corresponds to cluster condensation.Comment: 1 file, 15 pages, RevTex, 4 table
