Reflection of finite-width edge channels

An analysis of electromagnetic scattering from finite-width strips

Clique-width and edge contraction

We prove that edge contractions do not preserve the property that a set of graphs has bounded clique-width.

Finite width of shear zones.

We present some experimental and numerical results based on a simple model designed to give an estimate for the width of a shear zone. We conclude that the observed finite size of the shear zone can be associated with the propagation of the force lines inside the medium. The model, based on a simple argument on the force distribution and dilatancy, predicts a width of about ten grain diameters.

Finite Unitary Reflection Groups

Introduction. Any finite group of linear transformations on n variables leaves invariant a positive definite Hermitian form, and can therefore be expressed, after a suitable change of variables, as a group of unitary transformations (5, p. 257). Such a group may be thought of as a group of congruent transformations, keeping the origin fixed, in a unitary space Un of n dimensions, in which the p...

Edge effects on low temperature surface adsorption phases and phase transitions on finite-width square terraces

A transfer matrix approach is used to conduct a thorough investigation of all possible adsorbate configurations or phases on terraces of various widths M including edge effects, and limited to firstand second-neighbor adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. Figures showing the configurations that occur within this model are presented for M 1⁄4 3 and 4, and detailed tables provide the phase sequences ...
