Fractional Variations for Dynamical Systems: Hamilton and Lagrange Approaches

Fractional generalization of an exterior derivative for calculus of variations is defined. The Hamilton and Lagrange approaches are considered. Fractional Hamilton and Euler-Lagrange equations are derived. Fractional equations of motion are obtained by fractional variation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian that have only integer derivatives.Comment: 21 pages, LaTe

Continuous selections of multivalued mappings

This survey covers in our opinion the most important results in the theory of continuous selections of multivalued mappings (approximately) from 2002 through 2012. It extends and continues our previous such survey which appeared in Recent Progress in General Topology, II, which was published in 2002. In comparison, our present survey considers more restricted and specific areas of mathematics. Note that we do not consider the theory of selectors (i.e. continuous choices of elements from subsets of topological spaces) since this topics is covered by another survey in this volume

Heat conduction in 1D lattices with on-site potential

The process of heat conduction in one-dimensional lattice with on-site potential is studied by means of numerical simulation. Using discrete Frenkel-Kontorova, $\phi$--4 and sinh-Gordon we demonstrate that contrary to previously expressed opinions the sole anharmonicity of the on-site potential is insufficient to ensure the normal heat conductivity in these systems. The character of the heat conduction is determined by the spectrum of nonlinear excitations peculiar for every given model and therefore depends on the concrete potential shape and temperature of the lattice. The reason is that the peculiarities of the nonlinear excitations and their interactions prescribe the energy scattering mechanism in each model. For models sin-Gordon and $\phi$--4 phonons are scattered at thermalized lattice of topological solitons; for sinh-Gordon and $\phi$--4 - models the phonons are scattered at localized high-frequency breathers (in the case of $\phi$--4 the scattering mechanism switches with the growth of the temperature).Comment: 26 pages, 18 figure

A study of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals by the multifrequency EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy methods

Specimens of powders of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO 4)6(OH)2) with average crystallite sizes in the range of 20-50 nm synthesized by the wet precipitation method have been investigated by the multifrequency (9 and 94 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) methods. In specimens subjected to X-ray irradiation at room temperature, EPR signals that are caused by nitrogen compounds have been observed. Numerical calculations performed in terms of the density functional theory show that the observed EPR signal is caused by the occurrence of paramagnetic centers, the structure of which is NO 3 2- and which replace the positions of PO 4 3- in the hydroxyapatite structure. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Wave transmission, phonon localization and heat conduction of 1D Frenkel-Kontorova chain

We study the transmission coefficient of a plane wave through a 1D finite quasi-periodic system -- the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model -- embedding in an infinite uniform harmonic chain. By varying the mass of atoms in the infinite uniform chain, we obtain the transmission coefficients for {\it all} eigenfrequencies. The phonon localization of the incommensurated FK chain is also studied in terms of the transmission coefficients and the Thouless exponents. Moreover, the heat conduction of Rubin-Greer-like model for FK chain at low temperature is calculated. It is found that the stationary heat flux $J(N)\sim N^{\alpha}$, and $\alpha$ depends on the strength of the external potential.Comment: 15 pages in Revtex, 8 EPS figure

DYNAMIC REGIMES IN PERMALLOY MAGNETIC FILMS OF DIFFERENT THICKNESSES IN СONSTANT MAGNETIC FIELD

This work deals with model of permalloy magnetic film in constant magnetic film. Micromagnetic simulation has shown that with change of film thickness and value of magnetic field different dynamic regimes existed depending on starting conditions. Between most interesting ones are movement of Neel walls with deformations for extremely thin films and cross-tie walls movement with periodical born and annihilation of 3D- topological structures for more thick films

Finite thermal conductivity in 1D models having zero Lyapunov exponents

Heat conduction in three types of 1D channels are studied. The channels consist of two parallel walls, right triangles as scattering obstacles, and noninteracting particles. The triangles are placed along the walls in three different ways: (a) periodic, (b) disordered in height, and (c) disordered in position. The Lyapunov exponents in all three models are zero because of the flatness of triangle sides. It is found numerically that the temperature gradient can be formed in all three channels, but the Fourier heat law is observed only in two disordered ones. The results show that there might be no direct connection between chaos (in the sense of positive Lyapunov exponent) and the normal thermal conduction.Comment: 4 PRL page

Can disorder induce a finite thermal conductivity in 1D lattices?

We study heat conduction in one dimensional mass disordered harmonic and anharmonic lattices. It is found that the thermal conductivity $\kappa$ of the disordered anharmonic lattice is finite at low temperature, whereas it diverges as $\kappa \sim N^{0.43}$ at high temperature. Moreover, we demonstrate that a unique nonequilibrium stationary state in the disordered harmonic lattice does not exist at all.Comment: 4 pages with 4 eps figure

MICROMAGNETIC SIMULATIONS OF PERIODIC CHAINS OF TRANSITION STRUCTURES IN VORTEX-LIKE DOMAIN WALLS (PARALLEL PROCESSING IN MUMAX 3)

Many properties of magnetically ordered materials depend on existence and dynamical behavior o f locally inhomogeneous transition structures (TS’s) in domain walls (DW’s). This work deals with TS’s, which emerge in asymmetric Bloch domain walls and their chains’ interaction. We achieve energies of domain walls as functions o f the distance between two TS’s in presence and absence of external field in order to determine the kind of interaction: repulsion, attraction or fixing on definite distance. We have adapted the OOMMF programs for the parallel processing package MuMAX 3

FPU β\beta model: Boundary Jumps, Fourier's Law and Scaling

We examine the interplay of surface and volume effects in systems undergoing heat flow. In particular, we compute the thermal conductivity in the FPU $\beta$ model as a function of temperature and lattice size, and scaling arguments are used to provide analytic guidance. From this we show that boundary temperature jumps can be quantitatively understood, and that they play an important role in determining the dynamics of the system, relating soliton dynamics, kinetic theory and Fourier transport.Comment: 5pages, 5 figure
