The Extended Estabrook-Wahlquist Method
Variable Coefficient Korteweg de Vries (vcKdV), Modified Korteweg de Vries
(vcMKdV), and nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equations have a long history dating
from their derivation in various applications. A technique based on extended
Lax Pairs has been devised recently to derive variable-coefficient
generalizations of various Lax-integrable NLPDE hierarchies. The resulting Lax-
or S-integrable NLPDEs have both time- AND space-dependent coefficients, and
are thus more general than almost all cases considered earlier via other
methods such as the Painlev\'e Test, Bell Polynomials, and various similarity
methods.
However, this technique, although operationally effective, has the
significant disadvantage that, for any integrable system with spatiotemporally
varying coefficients, one must 'guess' a generalization of the structure of the
known Lax Pair for the corresponding system with constant coefficients.
Motivated by the somewhat arbitrary nature of the above procedure, we embark in
this paper on an attempt to systematize the derivation of Lax-integrable
systems with variable coefficients. An ideal approach would be a method which
does not require knowledge of the Lax pair to an associated constant
coefficient system, and also involves little to no guesswork. Hence we attempt
to apply the Estabrook-Wahlquist (EW) prolongation technique, a relatively
self-consistent procedure requiring little prior information.
The new and extended EW technique which results is illustrated by
algorithmically deriving generalized Lax-integrable versions of the NLS,
generalized fifth-order KdV, MKdV, and derivative nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS)
equations.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1404.460
Japan's Foreign Direct Investment Experiences in India: Lessons Learnt from Firm Level Surveys
Though economic relations between India and Korea have been strengthening, the current size of trade and investment between the two countries is relatively low compared to the size and structural complementarities of the two economies. In this context, the present paper analyses trade and investment relations and explores future areas of potential co-operation between India and Korea. We find that the increase in merchandise trade between the two countries has been mainly because of the changing demand structure and comparative advantages of both the economies in complementary sectors in recent years. The Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis, at both the aggregated and disaggregated levels, shows that while Korea has been specialising in a few, high value-added manufacturing products, India's exports have been more diversified. The analysis also indicates that both the countries have comparative advantages in different products in the same industry, revealing the opportunity for intra-industry trade (IIT). Moreover, the increasing trade complementarity index (TCI) shows that Indian and Korean trade gradually has become more compatible over time, indicating that any agreement between the two countries is likely to enhance trade flows. The trade intensities between the two countries reveal that Korea is doing much better and there is scope for India to improve its export intensity with Korea. The study also suggests the areas where there is huge scope for increased investment and technological collaboration between the two countries. Further, there is huge potential for trade in services in areas such as information technology, science and technology, pharmaceutical industry, broadcasting, tourism, healthcare and human resource development. Removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers, especially sector specific barriers, will give a major boost to bilateral trade and investment relations.Foreign direct investment, Japanese multinational corporations, strategies,obstacles in operations.
Strong Bounds on Sum of Neutrino Masses in a 12 Parameter Extended Scenario with Non-Phantom Dynamical Dark Energy ()
We obtained constraints on a 12 parameter extended cosmological scenario
including non-phantom dynamical dark energy (NPDDE) with CPL parametrization.
We also include the six CDM parameters, number of relativistic
neutrino species () and sum over active neutrino masses
(), tensor-to-scalar ratio (), and running of the
spectral index (). We use CMB Data from Planck 2015; BAO Measurements
from SDSS BOSS DR12, MGS, and 6dFS; SNe Ia Luminosity Distance measurements
from the Pantheon Sample; CMB B-mode polarization data from BICEP2/Keck
collaboration (BK14); Planck lensing data; and a prior on Hubble constant
( km/sec/Mpc) from local measurements (HST). We have found strong
bounds on the sum of the active neutrino masses. For instance, a strong bound
of 0.123 eV (95\% C.L.) comes from Planck+BK14+BAO. Although
we are in such an extended parameter space, this bound is stronger than a bound
of 0.158 eV (95\% C.L.) obtained in with Planck+BAO. Varying instead of
however leads to weaker bounds on . Inclusion of the HST leads to
the standard value of being discarded at more than
68\% C.L., which increases to 95\% C.L. when we vary
instead of , implying a small preference for dark radiation, driven
by the tension.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, matches the published versio
Searching for the reionization sources
Using a reionization model simultaneously accounting for a number of
experimental data sets, we investigate the nature and properties of
reionization sources. Such model predicts that hydrogen reionization starts at
z \approx 15, is initially driven by metal-free (PopIII) stars, and is 90%
complete by z \approx 8. We find that a fraction f_\gamma >80% of the ionizing
power at z > 7 comes from haloes of mass M<10^9 M_sun predominantly harbouring
PopIII stars; a turnover to a PopII-dominated phase occurs shortly after, with
this population, residing in M>10^9 M_sun haloes, yielding f_\gamma \approx 60%
at z=6. Using Lyman-break broadband dropout techniques, J-band detection of
sources contributing to 50% (90%) of the ionizing power at z \sim 7.5 requires
to reach a magnitude J_{110,AB} = 31.2 (31.7), where about 15 (30) (PopIII)
sources/arcmin^2 are predicted. We conclude that z>7 sources tentatively
identified in broadband surveys are relatively massive (M \approx 10^9 M_sun)
and rare objects which are only marginally (\approx 1%) adding to the
reionization photon budget.Comment: Extended discussions. Accepted to MNRAS Letter
Effective String Theory Inspired Potential and Meson Masses in Higher Dimension
Nambu-Goto action in classical bosonic string model for hadrons predicts
quark-antiquark potential to be\cite{Nambu-Goto} . In this report we present studies of masses of heavy flavour mesons
in higher dimension with our recently developed wave functions obtained
following string inspired potential. We report the dimensional dependence of
the masses of mesons. Our results suggest that as the meson mass increases with
the number of extra spatial dimension, it will attain the Planck scale () asymptotically at an astronomically large spatial dimension (we
call it Planck dimension) , which sets the limit of
applicability of Schrodinger equation in large dimension
Signatures of an invisibly decaying Higgs particles at LHC
The Higgs particle can decay dominantly into an invisible channel in the
Majoron models. We have explored the prospect of detecting such a Higgs
particle at LHC via its associated production with a gluon, Z or W boson. While
the signal/background ratio is too small for the first process, the latter two
provide viable signatures for detecting such a Higgs particle.Comment: (e-mail: [email protected]) LaTex; No. of pages 12, no. of
