O(4) Expansion of the ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation
The Bethe-Salpeter amplitude is expanded on a hyperspherical basis, thereby
reducing the original 4-dimensional integral equation into an infinite set of
coupled 1-dimensional ones. It is shown that this representation offers a
highly accurate method to determine numerically the bound state solutions. For
generic cases only a few hyperspherical waves are needed to achieve
convergence, both for the ground state as well as for radially or orbitally
excited states. The wave function is reconstructed for several cases and in
particular it is shown that it becomes independent of the relative time in the
nonrelativistic regime.Comment: 21 pages, revte
Transparent Dynamic reconfiguration for CORBA
Distributed systems with high availability requirements have to support some form of dynamic reconfiguration. This means that they must provide the ability to be maintained or upgraded without being taken off-line. Building a distributed system that allows dynamic reconfiguration is very intrusive to the overall design of the system, and generally requires special skills from both the client and server side application developers. There is an opportunity to provide support for dynamic reconfiguration at the object middleware level of distributed systems, and create a dynamic reconfiguration transparency to application developers. We propose a Dynamic Reconfiguration Service for CORBA that allows the reconfiguration of a running system with maximum transparency for both client and server side developers. We describe the architecture, a prototype implementation, and some preliminary test result
