Generalised Kundt waves and their physical interpretation
We present the complete family of space-times with a non-expanding, shear-free, twist-free, geodesic principal null congruence (Kundt waves) that are of algebraic type III and for which the cosmological constant (Λc) is non-zero. The possible presence of an aligned pure radiation field is also assumed. These space-times generalise the known vacuum solutions of type N with arbitrary Λc and type ...
متن کاملGeneralized transition waves and their properties
In this paper, we generalize the usual notions of waves, fronts and propagation speeds in a very general setting. These new notions, which cover all classical situations, involve uniform limits, with respect to the geodesic distance, to a family of hypersurfaces which are parametrized by time. We prove the existence of new such waves for some time-dependent reaction-diffusion equations, as well...
متن کاملA Generalized Optical Flow Constraint and its Physical Interpretation
This paper addresses the issue of motion estimation on image sequences. The standard motion equation used to compute the apparent motion of image irradiance patterns is an invariance brightness based hypothesis called the optical flow constraint. Other equations can be used, in particular the extended optical flow constraint, which is a variant of the optical flow constraint, inspired by the fl...
متن کاملKundt Spacetimes
Kundt spacetimes are of great importance in general relativity in 4 dimensions and have a number of topical applications in higher dimensions in the context of string theory. The degenerate Kundt spacetimes have many special and unique mathematical properties, including their invariant curvature structure and their holonomy structure. We provide a rigorous geometrical kinematical definition of ...
متن کاملWater Wave Problems, Their Mathematical Solution and Physical Interpretation *
A typical linear water wave problem is a boundary-value problem involving partial differential equations and boundary conditions. Such a problem is usually solved by applying a sequence of mathematical arguments, and it would be helpful if some or all of the successive steps in this sequence could be given a physical interpretation. In the author’s experience this is generally not possible. Ill...
