Numerical method for solution of systems of non-stationary spatially one-dimensional nonlinear differential equations
A computational scheme and a standard program is proposed for solving systems of nonstationary spatially one-dimensional nonlinear differential equations using Newton's method. The proposed scheme is universal in its applicability and its reduces to a minimum the work of programming. The program is written in the FORTRAN language and can be used without change on electronic computers of type YeS and BESM-6. The standard program described permits the identification of nonstationary (or stationary) solutions to systems of spatially one-dimensional nonlinear (or linear) partial differential equations. The proposed method may be used to solve a series of geophysical problems which take chemical reactions, diffusion, and heat conductivity into account, to evaluate nonstationary thermal fields in two-dimensional structures when in one of the geometrical directions it can take a small number of discrete levels, and to solve problems in nonstationary gas dynamics
New and Old Results in Resultant Theory
Resultants are getting increasingly important in modern theoretical physics:
they appear whenever one deals with non-linear (polynomial) equations, with
non-quadratic forms or with non-Gaussian integrals. Being a subject of more
than three-hundred-year research, resultants are of course rather well studied:
a lot of explicit formulas, beautiful properties and intriguing relationships
are known in this field. We present a brief overview of these results,
including both recent and already classical. Emphasis is made on explicit
formulas for resultants, which could be practically useful in a future physics
research.Comment: 50 pages, 15 figure
Symmetric achromatic low-beta collider interaction region design concept
We present a new symmetry-based concept for an achromatic low-beta collider
interaction region design. A specially-designed symmetric Chromaticity
Compensation Block (CCB) induces an angle spread in the passing beam such that
it cancels the chromatic kick of the final focusing quadrupoles. Two such CCBs
placed symmetrically around an interaction point allow simultaneous
compensation of the 1st-order chromaticities and chromatic beam smear at the IP
without inducing significant 2nd-order aberrations to the particle trajectory.
We first develop an analytic description of this approach and explicitly
formulate 2nd-order aberration compensation conditions at the interaction
point. The concept is next applied to develop an interaction region design for
the ion collider ring of an electron-ion collider. We numerically evaluate
performance of the design in terms of momentum acceptance and dynamic aperture.
The advantages of the new concept are illustrated by comparing it to the
conventional distributed-sextupole chromaticity compensation scheme.Comment: 12 pages, 17 figures, to be submitted to Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beam
Faces of matrix models
Partition functions of eigenvalue matrix models possess a number of very
different descriptions: as matrix integrals, as solutions to linear and
non-linear equations, as tau-functions of integrable hierarchies and as
special-geometry prepotentials, as result of the action of W-operators and of
various recursions on elementary input data, as gluing of certain elementary
building blocks. All this explains the central role of such matrix models in
modern mathematical physics: they provide the basic "special functions" to
express the answers and relations between them, and they serve as a dream model
of what one should try to achieve in any other field.Comment: 10 page
