    A discrete linearizability test based on multiscale analysis

    In this paper we consider the classification of dispersive linearizable partial difference equations defined on a quad-graph by the multiple scale reduction around their harmonic solution. We show that the A_1, A_2 and A_3 linearizability conditions restrain the number of the parameters which enter into the equation. A subclass of the equations which pass the A_3 C-integrability conditions can be linearized by a Mobius transformation

    Synchronization of Chaotic Systems by Common Random Forcing

    Full text link
    We show two examples of noise--induced synchronization. We study a 1-d map and the Lorenz systems, both in the chaotic region. For each system we give numerical evidence that the addition of a (common) random noise, of large enough intensity, to different trajectories which start from different initial conditions, leads eventually to the perfect synchronization of the trajectories. The largest Lyapunov exponent becomes negative due to the presence of the noise terms.Comment: 5 pages, uses aipproc.cls and aipproc.sty (included).

    Nonleptonic B→D(∗)DsJ(∗)B \to D^{(*)}D_{sJ}^{(*)} decays and the nature of the orbitally excited charmed-strange mesons

    The Belle Collaboration has recently reported a study of the decays B→Ds1(2536)+Dˉ(∗)B \to D_{s1}(2536)^{+}\bar{D}^{(\ast)} and has given also estimates of relevant ratios between branching fractions of decays B→D(∗)DsJ(∗)B \to D^{(\ast)}D_{sJ}^{(\ast)} providing important information to check the structure of the Ds0∗(2317)D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317), Ds1(2460)D_{s1}(2460) and Ds1(2536)D_{s1}(2536) mesons. The disagreement between experimental data and Heavy Quark Symmetry has been used as an indication that Ds0∗(2317)D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317) and Ds1(2460)D_{s1}(2460) mesons could have a more complex structure than the canonical csˉc\bar{s} one. We analyze these ratios within the framework of a constituent quark model, which allows us to incorporate the effects given by finite cc-quark mass corrections. Our findings are that while the Ds1(2460)D_{s1}(2460) meson could have a sizable non-qqˉq\bar{q} component, the Ds0∗(2317)D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317) and Ds1(2536)D_{s1}(2536) mesons seem to be well described by a pure qqˉq\bar{q} structure.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur

    A linear filter to reconstruct the ISW effect from CMB and LSS observations

    Full text link
    The extraction of a signal from some observational data sets that contain different contaminant emissions, often at a greater level than the signal itself, is a common problem in Astrophysics and Cosmology. The signal can be recovered, for instance, using a simple Wiener filter. However, in certain cases, additional information may also be available, such as a second observation which correlates to a certain level with the sought signal. In order to improve the quality of the reconstruction, it would be useful to include as well this additional information. Under these circumstances, we have constructed a linear filter, the linear covariance-based filter, that extracts the signal from the data but takes also into account the correlation with the second observation. To illustrate the performance of the method, we present a simple application to reconstruct the so-called Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect from simulated observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background and of catalogues of galaxies.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processin
