Adaptive Control: Actual Status and Trends
Important progress in research and application of Adaptive Control Systems has been achieved in the last ten years. The techniques which are currently used in applications will be reviewed. Theoretical aspects currently under investigation and which are related to the application of adaptive control techniques in various fields will be briefly discussed. Applications in various areas will be briefly reviewed. The use of adaptive techniques for vibrations monitoring and active vibration control will be emphasized
A heuristic approach to the weakly interacting Bose gas
Some thermodynamic properties of weakly interacting Bose systems are derived
from dimensional and heuristic arguments and thermodynamic relations, without
resorting to statistical mechanics
Multimode theory of measurement-induced non-Gaussian operation on wideband squeezed light
We present a multimode theory of non-Gaussian operation induced by an
imperfect on/off-type photon detector on a splitted beam from a wideband
squeezed light. The events are defined for finite time duration in the time
domain. The non-Gaussian output state is measured by the homodyne detector with
finite bandwidh . Under this time- and band-limitation to the quantm states,
we develop a formalism to evaluate the frequency mode matching between the
on/off trigger channel and the conditional signal beam in the homodyne channel.
Our formalism is applied to the CW and pulsed schemes. We explicitly calculate
the Wigner function of the conditional non-Gaussian output state in a realistic
situation. Good mode matching is achieved for BT\alt1, where the discreteness
of modes becomes prominant, and only a few modes become dominant both in the
on/off and the homodyne channels. If the trigger beam is projected nearly onto
the single photon state in the most dominant mode in this regime, the most
striking non-classical effect will be observed in the homodyne statistics. The
increase of and the dark counts degrades the non-classical effect.Comment: 20 pages, 14 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Magnetoelasticity theory of incompressible quantum Hall liquids
A simple and physically transparent magnetoelasticity theory is proposed to
describe linear dynamics of incompressible fractional quantum Hall states. The
theory manifestly satisfies the Kohn theorem and the -sum rule, and predicts
a gaped intra-Landau level collective mode with a roton minimum. In the limit
of vanishing bare mass the correct form of the static structure factor,
, is recovered. We establish a connection of the present approach
to the fermionic Chern-Simons theory, and discuss further extensions and
applications. We also make an interesting analogy of the present theory to the
theory of visco-elastic fluids.Comment: RevTeX 4, 6 pages; expanded version to appear in PRB; more technical

Microwave Response and Spin Waves in Superconducting Ferromagnets
Excitation of spin waves is considered in a superconducting ferromagnetic
slab with the equilibrium magnetization both perpendicular and parallel to the
surface. The surface impedance is calculated and its behavior near propagation
thresholds is analyzed. Influence of non-zero magnetic induction at the surface
is considered in various cases. The results provide a basis for investigation
of materials with coexisting superconductivity and magnetism by microwave
response measurements.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
On an exact hydrodynamic solution for the elliptic flow
Looking for the underlying hydrodynamic mechanisms determining the elliptic
flow we show that for an expanding relativistic perfect fluid the transverse
flow may derive from a solvable hydrodynamic potential, if the entropy is
transversally conserved and the corresponding expansion "quasi-stationary",
that is mainly governed by the temperature cooling. Exact solutions for the
velocity flow coefficients and the temperature dependence of the spatial
and momentum anisotropy are obtained and shown to be in agreement with the
elliptic flow features of heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Polarons in suspended carbon nanotubes
We prove theoretically the possibility of electric-field controlled polaron
formation involving flexural (bending) modes in suspended carbon nanotubes.
Upon increasing the field, the ground state of the system with a single extra
electron undergoes a first order phase transition between an extended state and
a localized polaron state. For a common experimental setup, the threshold
electric field is only of order V/m
