On integration of some classes of (n+1)(n+1) dimensional nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

The paper represents the method for construction of the families of particular solutions to some new classes of $(n+1)$ dimensional nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDE). Method is based on the specific link between algebraic matrix equations and PDE. Admittable solutions depend on arbitrary functions of $n$ variables.Comment: 6 page

Variational approach for the quantum Zakharov system

The quantum Zakharov system is described in terms of a Lagrangian formalism. A time-dependent Gaussian trial function approach for the envelope electric field and the low-frequency part of the density fluctuation leads to a coupled, nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. In the semiclassic case, linear stability analysis of this dynamical system shows a destabilizing r\^ole played by quantum effects. Arbitrary value of the quantum effects are also considered, yielding the ultimate destruction of the localized, Gaussian trial solution. Numerical simulations are shown both for the semiclassic and the full quantum cases.Comment: 6 figure

Partially integrable systems in multidimensions by a variant of the dressing method. 1

In this paper we construct nonlinear partial differential equations in more than 3 independent variables, possessing a manifold of analytic solutions with high, but not full, dimensionality. For this reason we call them ``partially integrable''. Such a construction is achieved using a suitable modification of the classical dressing scheme, consisting in assuming that the kernel of the basic integral operator of the dressing formalism be nontrivial. This new hypothesis leads to the construction of: 1) a linear system of compatible spectral problems for the solution $U(\lambda;x)$ of the integral equation in 3 independent variables each (while the usual dressing method generates spectral problems in 1 or 2 dimensions); 2) a system of nonlinear partial differential equations in $n$ dimensions ($n>3$), possessing a manifold of analytic solutions of dimension ($n-2$), which includes one largely arbitrary relation among the fields. These nonlinear equations can also contain an arbitrary forcing.Comment: 21 page

Polynomial spline-approximation of Clarke's model

We investigate polynomial spline approximation of stationary random processes on a uniform grid applied to Clarke's model of time variations of path amplitudes in multipath fading channels with Doppler scattering. The integral mean square error (MSE) for optimal and interpolation splines is presented as a series of spectral moments. The optimal splines outperform the interpolation splines; however, as the sampling factor increases, the optimal and interpolation splines of even order tend to provide the same accuracy. To build such splines, the process to be approximated needs to be known for all time, which is impractical. Local splines, on the other hand, may be used where the process is known only over a finite interval. We first consider local splines with quasioptimal spline coefficients. Then, we derive optimal spline coefficients and investigate the error for different sets of samples used for calculating the spline coefficients. In practice, approximation with a low processing delay is of interest; we investigate local spline extrapolation with a zero-processing delay. The results of our investigation show that local spline approximation is attractive for implementation from viewpoints of both low processing delay and small approximation error; the error can be very close to the minimum error provided by optimal splines. Thus, local splines can be effectively used for channel estimation in multipath fast fading channels

Long-distance radiative corrections to the di-pion tau lepton decay

We evaluate the model-dependent piece of O(alpha) long-distance radiative corrections to tau^- \to \pi^- \pi^0\nu_{\tau} decays by using a meson dominance model. We find that these corrections to the di-pion invariant mass spectrum are smaller than in previous calculations based on chiral perturbation theory. The corresponding correction to the photon inclusive rate is tiny (-0.15%) but it can be of relevance when new measurements reach better precision.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures.
