Lattice Dynamics in the Half-Space, II. Energy Transport Equation
We consider the lattice dynamics in the half-space. The initial data are
random according to a probability measure which enforces slow spatial variation
on the linear scale . We establish two time regimes. For
times of order , , locally the measure
converges to a Gaussian measure which is time stationary with a covariance
inherited from the initial measure (non-Gaussian, in general). For times of
order , this covariance changes in time and is governed by a
semiclassical transport equation.Comment: 35 page
Group classification of the Sachs equations for a radiating axisymmetric, non-rotating, vacuum space-time
We carry out a Lie group analysis of the Sachs equations for a time-dependent
axisymmetric non-rotating space-time in which the Ricci tensor vanishes. These
equations, which are the first two members of the set of Newman-Penrose
equations, define the characteristic initial-value problem for the space-time.
We find a particular form for the initial data such that these equations admit
a Lie symmetry, and so defines a geometrically special class of such
spacetimes. These should additionally be of particular physical interest
because of this special geometric feature.Comment: 18 Pages. Submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravit
Ordinary differential equations which linearize on differentiation
In this short note we discuss ordinary differential equations which linearize
upon one (or more) differentiations. Although the subject is fairly elementary,
equations of this type arise naturally in the context of integrable systems.Comment: 9 page
Group analysis and exact solutions of a class of variable coefficient nonlinear telegraph equations
A complete group classification of a class of variable coefficient
(1+1)-dimensional telegraph equations , is
given, by using a compatibility method and additional equivalence
transformations. A number of new interesting nonlinear invariant models which
have non-trivial invariance algebras are obtained. Furthermore, the possible
additional equivalence transformations between equations from the class under
consideration are investigated. Exact solutions of special forms of these
equations are also constructed via classical Lie method and generalized
conditional transformations. Local conservation laws with characteristics of
order 0 of the class under consideration are classified with respect to the
group of equivalence transformations.Comment: 23 page
On the hierarchy of partially invariant submodels of differential equations
It is noticed, that partially invariant solution (PIS) of differential
equations in many cases can be represented as an invariant reduction of some
PIS of the higher rank. This introduce a hierarchic structure in the set of all
PISs of a given system of differential equations. By using this structure one
can significantly decrease an amount of calculations required in enumeration of
all PISs for a given system of partially differential equations. An equivalence
of the two-step and the direct ways of construction of PISs is proved. In this
framework the complete classification of regular partially invariant solutions
of ideal MHD equations is given
On the discrete spectrum of Robin Laplacians in conical domains
We discuss several geometric conditions guaranteeing the finiteness or the
infiniteness of the discrete spectrum for Robin Laplacians on conical domains.Comment: 12 page
Hydration products of portland cement modified with a complex admixture
© 2015 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. This paper examines the effect of a polycarboxylate ether-based complex admixture on the phase composition and degree of hydration of cement stone. We demonstrate that the degree of hydration of cement and the specific surface area of forming hydrates depend on the cement stone hardening conditions
Exponential and moment inequalities for U-statistics
A Bernstein-type exponential inequality for (generalized) canonical
U-statistics of order 2 is obtained and the Rosenthal and Hoffmann-J{\o}rgensen
inequalities for sums of independent random variables are extended to
(generalized) U-statistics of any order whose kernels are either nonnegative or
canonicalComment: 22 page
Lie group analysis of a generalized Krichever-Novikov differential-difference equation
The symmetry algebra of the differential--difference equation
where , and are arbitrary analytic functions is shown to have the
dimension 1 \le \mbox{dim}L \le 5. When , and are specific second
order polynomials in (depending on 6 constants) this is the integrable
discretization of the Krichever--Novikov equation. We find 3 cases when the
arbitrary functions are not polynomials and the symmetry algebra satisfies
\mbox{dim}L=2. These cases are shown not to be integrable. The symmetry
algebras are used to reduce the equations to purely difference ones. The
symmetry group is also used to impose periodicity and thus to
reduce the differential--difference equation to a system of coupled
ordinary three points difference equations
