The Measure of the Orthogonal Polynomials Related to Fibonacci Chains: The Periodic Case
The spectral measure for the two families of orthogonal polynomial systems
related to periodic chains with N-particle elementary unit and nearest
neighbour harmonic interaction is computed using two different methods. The
interest is in the orthogonal polynomials related to Fibonacci chains in the
periodic approximation. The relation of the measure to appropriately defined
Green's functions is established.Comment: 19 pages, TeX, 3 scanned figures, uuencoded file, original figures on

Polaronic slowing of fermionic impurities in lattice Bose-Fermi mixtures
We generalize the application of small polaron theory to ultracold gases of
Ref. [\onlinecite{jaksch_njp1}] to the case of Bose-Fermi mixtures, where both
components are loaded into an optical lattice. In a suitable range of
parameters, the mixture can be described within a Bogoliubov approach in the
presence of fermionic (dynamic) impurities and an effective description in
terms of polarons applies. In the dilute limit of the slow impurity regime, the
hopping of fermionic particles is exponentially renormalized due to polaron
formation, regardless of the sign of the Bose-Fermi interaction. This should
lead to clear experimental signatures of polaronic effects, once the regime of
interest is reached. The validity of our approach is analyzed in the light of
currently available experiments. We provide results for the hopping
renormalization factor for different values of temperature, density and
Bose-Fermi interaction for three-dimensional
mixtures in optical lattice.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure

China's building stock estimation and energy intensity analysis
Reliable and objective data regarding building stock is essential for predicting and analyzing energy demand and carbon emission. However, China's building stock data is lacking. This study proposes a set of China building floor space estimation method (CBFSM) based on the improved building stock turnover model. Then it measures China's building stocks by vintage and type from 2000 to 2015, as well as building energy intensity (national level and provincial level) and energy-efficient buildings. Results showed that total building stocks increased significantly, rising from 35.2 billion m2 in 2000 to 63.6 billion m2 in 2015, with the average growth rate 4.0%. The deviations were well below 10% by comparing with China Population Census, which validated the reliability of CBFSM and the results. As for energy intensity, urban dwellings and rural dwellings showed relatively stable and increasing trend respectively. The commercial building energy intensity saw a downward trend during “12th Five Year Plan” period. This indicated the effectiveness of building energy efficiency work for commercial buildings since 2005.38.6 billion m2 residential dwellings and 5.7 billion m2 commercial buildings still need to be retrofitted in future. CBFSM can overcome shortages in previous studies. It can also provide Chinese government with technical support and data evidence to promote the building energy efficiency work
Potential competitive effects on U.S. bank credit card lending from the proposed bifurcated application of Basel II
This paper analyzes the potential competitive effects of the proposed bifurcated application of Basel II capital regulations in the United States on bank credit card lending activities. For this purpose, the authors consider the Basel II regulations as stated in the June 2004 Basel Committee Framework Agreement. ; Also issued as Payment Cards Center Discussion Paper No. 05-21 ; Superseded by Working Paper 07-09Basel capital accord ; Credit cards
Scaling of gauge balls and static potential in the confinement phase of the pure U(1) lattice gauge theory
We investigate the scaling behaviour of gauge-ball masses and static
potential in the pure U(1) lattice gauge theory on toroidal lattices. An
extended gauge field action is used with and -0.5. Gauge-ball correlation
functions with all possible lattice quantum numbers are calculated. Most
gauge-ball masses scale with the non-Gaussian exponent .
The gauge-ball mass scales with the Gaussian value in the investigated range of correlation lengths. The static potential is
examined with Sommer's method. The long range part scales consistently with
but the short range part tends to yield smaller values of . The
-function, having a UV stable zero, is obtained from the running
coupling. These results hold for both values, supporting universality.
Consequences for the continuum limit of the theory are discussed.Comment: Contribution to the Lattice 97 proceedings, LaTeX, 3 pages, 3 figure
