Synthesis of Relativistic Wave Equations: The Noninteracting Case

We study internal structure of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equations for spin 0 and spin 1 mesons. We show that in the noninteracting case full covariant solutions of the s=0 and s=1 DKP equations are generalized solutions of the Dirac equation

Asymmetric Duffing oscillator: the birth and build-up of period doubling

In this work, we investigate the period doubling phenomenon in the periodically forced asymmetric Duffing oscillator. We use the known steady-state asymptotic solution -- the amplitude-frequency implicit function -- and known criterion for the existence of period doubling. Working in the framework of differential properties of implicit functions we derive analytical formulas for the birth of period-doubled solutions.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Simple model of bouncing ball dynamics. Displacement of the limiter assumed as a cubic function of time

Nonlinear dynamics of a bouncing ball moving vertically in a gravitational field and colliding with a moving limiter is considered and the Poincare map, describing evolution from an impact to the next impact, is described. Displacement of the limiter is assumed as periodic, cubic function of time. Due to simplicity of this function analytical computations are possible. Several dynamical modes, such as fixed points, 2 - cycles and chaotic bands are studied analytically and numerically. It is shown that chaotic bands are created from fixed points after first period doubling in a corner-type bifurcation. Equation for the time of the next impact is solved exactly for the case of two subsequent impacts occurring in the same period of limiter's motion making analysis of chattering possible.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, presented at the DSTA 2011 conference, Lodz, Polan

Splitting the Dirac equation: the case of longitudinal potentials

Recently, we have demonstrated that some subsolutions of the free Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau and the Dirac equations obey the same Dirac equation with some built-in projection operators. In the present paper we study the Dirac equation in the interacting case. It is demonstrated that the Dirac equation in longitudinal external fields can be also splitted into two covariant subequations.Comment: LaTeX, 8 pages, two references adde

Simple model of bouncing ball dynamics: displacement of the table assumed as quadratic function of time

Nonlinear dynamics of a bouncing ball moving in gravitational field and colliding with a moving limiter is considered. Displacement of the limiter is a quadratic function of time. Several dynamical modes, such as fixed points, 2 - cycles and chaotic bands are studied analytically and numerically. It is shown that chaotic bands appear due to homoclinic structures created from unstable 2 - cycles in a corner-type bifurcation.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
