Chiral expansion of the decay width
A chiral field theory of mesons has been applied to study the contribution of
the current quark masses to the decay width at
the next leading order. enhancement has been predicted and there is no
new parameter.Comment: 9 page
A flexible error estimate for the application of centre manifold theory
In applications of centre manifold theory we need more flexible error estimates than that provided by, for example, the Approximation Theorem 3 by Carr [4, 6]. Here we extend the theory to cover the case where the order of approximation in parameters and that in dynamical variables may be completely different. This allows, for example, the effective evaluation of low-dimensional dynamical models at finite parameter values
Excitation function of nucleon and pion elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Within a relativistic transport (ART) model for heavy-ion collisions, we show
that the recently observed characteristic change from out-of-plane to in-plane
elliptic flow of protons in mid-central Au+Au collisions as the incident energy
increases is consistent with the calculated results using a stiff nuclear
equation of state (K=380 MeV). We have also studied the elliptic flow of pions
and the transverse momentum dependence of both the nucleon and pion elliptic
flow in order to gain further insight about the collision dynamics.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Isotopic Equivalence from Bezier Curve Subdivision
We prove that the control polygon of a Bezier curve B becomes homeomorphic
and ambient isotopic to B via subdivision, and we provide closed-form formulas
to compute the number of iterations to ensure these topological
characteristics. We first show that the exterior angles of control polygons
converge exponentially to zero under subdivision.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1211.035
